50 Cent is definitely up on everything. He looks at the Internet just like everybody else. Sitting in his New York office Thursday (July 2), 50 was looking at the Drake video, refusing to watch Game’s apology to the G-Unit on MTV News.com and answering calls from Leonardo DiCaprio’s camp for a dinner with the movie star. He was originally going to call his latest mixtape Sincerely Yours: Southside Part 2, and on it he planned to rap over ’90s R&B classics. But in the end he decided to throw in some additional flavor with his throwback stylings. The cover of the tape features 50’s face digitally imposed with an iced-out skull.
“When Michael Jackson passed, there was a piece of artwork that had ‘King of Pop, King of Rap’ with me and his pictures. That’s what gave me the concept of the artwork.” There’s a real human skull that’s got diamonds embedded in it,” he said. “I saw the photo in Dubai. It’s an artifact, it’s priceless. We used the effect to make it feel like it’s a skull inside my face. And the Yankee hat would be my crown.”
