I like posting interviews like these, because I like it when the youth can get to see their musical icons in a light that sits alot differently from what their usually fed. This was by far one of 50 Cent's best interviews to date.

This is 50.Com Hates Drake: Never when your strong do they come hardest, only when your weakened
Before watching this video I want all of you to know that Drake is an anomaly right now...he's quite literally a musical phenom who without any label-power built one of the greatest organic movements the blogosphere has ever seen with his mixtape 'So Far Gone" (and that's to his credit). Viral internet traffic buzzes with such intensity for this guy that record-labels courted him vigorously and online analysts have said that his positive feedback ratio fares better in comparison to most established artists. Even venture capitalists and a member of a royal family offered Drake money in the millions; and it should be known that despite all of that he still decided to go the independent route and shunned the usual formula of getting signed so that he would not be controlled. The clip below is nothing more then an affirmation of the fact that he's become an actual real threat in the rap-game, a potent force for change and his model is being watched and scrutinized at every turn. Drake is still poised to do really well, and he may sell well beyond the expectations if he continues to stay the course and make the music that's true to himself.

50 Cent is Feeling Uninspired By Hip Hop: What will he do?
Via: Billboard
50 Cent has revealed that he is feeling uninspired by the current state of Hip Hop. Speaking to Billboard, the rapper explained that artists within the genre are not being creative.
“What I fell in love with and inspired me to get into hip-hop is dwindling away. I’d like to be a representation of that, because there isn’t much of that left. I think people are so conscious of the numbers they’re not being creative anymore.” 50 has set his sights on the Latin market by collaborating with reggaetón duo Wisin & Yandel for the track ”Mujeres En El Club”. The Queen’s rapper also chose to promote the song and feature it on his website.
“I’ve received nothing but positive feedback on this collaboration. And it’s a surprise because it’s playing in a space where you wouldn’t traditionally hear 50 Cent. It’s exciting and it’s a whole new charge of energy for the person that is tuning in.”
