50 Cent, long-known for taking jabs at other Hip Hop artists, had some interesting things to say about Jay-Z in a recent interview.
The Queens rapper said it was Jay's marriage to superstar singer Beyonce - and not his own music - that made Hov the international star he is today, according to PR-Inside.com.
"I'm a big fan of Jay-Z, but outside of the States and Hip Hop circles, no one really knew who he was until he married Beyonce'," said Fif in the interview.
The G-Unit general also said that reports of Jay-Z's total estimated worth of $1 billion is inaccurate. "I don't believe he's worth that much! It's all been exaggerated. I'm comfortable. I don't want for anything so I'm not in a race."
This far from the first time 50 has had less than flattering comments towards Jay-Z in the past, as 50 has criticized Hov's previous work as Def Jam president. The two had a very minor dispute years ago, when Jay-Z responded to 50's underground hit "How to Rob" by rhyming at a Summer Jam concert: "I'm about a dollar/Who the fuck is 50 Cent?"

So he is picking Jay, to make this new album?
-
lmao, wow - what a loser.
-
Damn.....50 sounds more like a little bitch everytime he opens his mouth...I can't understand how this so-called gangster is always in everybody's business....Sometimes dude is funny but like this time, he just sounds like a bitch. I'm sure J does not spend a minute thinkin bout what 50 is doin or how much money he is making.
-
lol Jay-Z is a legend...everybody knew bout him way back. :loco:
-
Jay-Z makes way more money than Beyonce, and actually is widely popular world wide. Why is 50 going at Jay, I think Jay today can still crush 50 today. In 2003, it maybe different, but in 2008, 50 needs to stay out his sailor suits.
-
i think 50 is just upset he isnt worth a billion, and is #3 in terms of money to Jay & Diddy.
-
get the fuck outta here fifty, curtis,
noone knew about jay, noone knew about 50!
-
Meh, it's just 50 being 50. No need to be alarmed.
One minute he's talking crazy like this, the next he's saddled up next to Jay smiling and looking cordial with him.
Afterall, this nigga got an album coming out at the end of the year, so expect more of this to come out the closer we get.

Yeah this is tame for 50. Now if you see a pic of Jay on the next G-Unit or 50 mixtape then we on to something. ;D
He has become so predictable with stuff like this it does not have or hold anymore shock value for people.
-
damn fuckin industry
-
he's just baiting him to create publicity for his new album, but I think jay and all the rest of those rappers already know this and don't respond. the more attention they give him, the more people will hear about the album dropping, the more he will sell.
-
lol Jay-Z is a legend...everybody knew bout him way back. :loco:
:o :grumpy:. He knows how to make good songs but he jacked others' styles and ran with it.
-
50 forgets that guys like Jay and Diddy and even Dre have been pulling in millions way before anyone knew who 50 was....I don't think Jay and Diddy even consider 50 in their league as far as being rap moguls for a long time...He wants badly to be up there with them as far as respect but it's not happening....If not for Dre and Em signing him, 50 would have still made it but he would not be as big of a star as he is now....Also, real moguls (Jay, Diddy, Dre) don't spend time worrying about what each other are doing or making...They just busy making their paper and they are all cool with each other when they see or work together.
-
SHIT U GUYS GAMES DOING THE SAME THING,
and on the contrary, "No One Knew 50 Cent Until He Became Friends with Dr Dre and a white boy named Eminem"
come on fif !! beefin as a marketing tool worked way back when to sell records and now?? heh

I respectfully disagree. To me, he hasn't done anything revolutionary in Hip-Hop to be considered an icon or an instrumental piece in Hip-Hop.

he aint shit... i dont think hes moved anything along or changed anything hes made hip hop wacker.....! but thats about all hes done
-
who's not been on his shopping list for public dissing? what a surprise
-
He's sorta right, but not really.
Noone in the pop world knew - or atleast cared about jay until 01 at the earliest. thats still a year before he got with b, but the point stands
thing is, jay wasnt only known for b - he got way more mainstream on his own at that time too. even now alot of older people nowadays still dont know who he is - but they know beyonce. even jay himself admits that b is more famous than him, so you can kinda see where 50s comin from
...of course he has his own motives, but theres a hint of truth to what hes saying.

jay-z is pretty well known, i dont think the marriage contributed that much to his fame.

i understand what your saying. my point of view is different because i enjoy the music he makes. you apperently dont, you your not the only one...from what i have seen on this board, hes a love or hate rapper. hes never just "aiiii", hes either a legend or a fag lol.
-
yeah but jays about a dollar what the fucks a 50 cent?
-
lol yeah no one knew who he was outside of the states yet he sold out worldtours years before he got with Beyonce. 50´s first worldtour was sold out for 1 reason, and 1 reason alone and that´s coz Eminem headlined that ho.
