50 Cent recently said that he likes Lil Wayne. Wait, didn't he call him a "whore" for doing so many collaborations, and even diss him in a freestyle? That's right he did.
He tells Rolling Stone that he does like Lil Wayne, but said that there are some very striking similarities between Weezy's hit single "Lollipop" and 50's 2005 hit "Candy Shop."
In an interview with the magazine, he explains.
"'Lollipop' is 'lick lick lick lick it like a lollipop,'" 50 told the mag, singing the verse to prove his point. "And 'Candy Shop' is 'I'll take you to the Candy Shop / I'll let you lick the lollipop.'"
There's the jab we thought was coming. Guess 50 doesn't like Wayne that much, or any other rappers for that matter. He says, right now, he's not listening to anybody's music.
"I'm not really listening to anyone else's records," he told Rolling Stone. "Now I'm in another space where I gotta make what I'm excited about."
He's currently working on his final album on his contract with Interscope, titled Before I Self-Destruct. It slated to drop before the end of the year.
While details regarding the new solo album are scarce, 50 promises that it will definitely shake things up. He also admits that there's pressure. While other rappers can't get close to the success of his previous albums, there's always high expectations when he drops.
"[Other rappers] can take what I've done for the last five years and do their version of it and be successful with momentum," he says. "Meanwhile, I have to reinvent the wheel."

People have been using that lollipop metaphor since Mtume made 'Juicy Fruit'. For a reasonably savvy businessman, 50's not that bright.
-
every thing that is good in hip hop, 50 started it. ::) He's the man ::)
-
there's no pressure on him. 50 doesn't have to worry that expectations for any new album from him are still gonna be high, who's he kidding? :laugh: if anything expectations are pretty low...
-
come on now 50 is a attention whore
game drops album he start talking about the features
T.i comes back and put on some big records ...T.I is Snitch
now this
the guys career in music is almost OVER that's why he's doing movies now he's doing anything keep his name out there.....hardly anybody in the game fucks with 50.......he's a HATER, he hates to see other rappers do good
so anybody that starts selling he'll hate on them
-
ahahah 50 is garbage.. he is a hater... hes succesfull yes but his music just sucks now.. his only good album is get rich or die tryin' everything thing else was wack... fuck G-unit! GGGGG-UNOT <----- thats for sure
-
What's 50 compaining about? Candy Shop was a bigger single, his album sold way more albums, it was #1 for more weeks. 50 shouldn't even bother responding to Lil Wayne and his following of dickriding fans.

-
i enjoy 50s recent music like curtis etc

I look forward to his new album tho my expectations are low lol jus like other dude said
-
This nigga 50 is a funny dude
he is, he doesn't need to put out another album, he could just crack jokes and say ridiculous comments bout the industry & other topics...its entertaining.
-
i guess that 36mafia copied him too ...o wait that song never blew up so it has nothing to do with fifty
-
i just heards that lollipop song for the first time... sounds nothinbg like candy shop.. 50 is trippen
i doubt he'll even go gold, that shit he used to push just doesnt sell anymore... he really needs to come up with something new
that entourage remix he did is the right direction imo.
those scott storch style synths are boring as fuck... he needs to realise that releasing a single that gets radio then the rest of the album being wack wont work.
-
either this an old article or 50 is saying the same thing he said a few months back
-
hmmm.... is there a 50 cent album coming soon??? ofcourse so he finds someone to pick on... TYPICAL. He is so predictable
-
Lol yeah because those two songs are so much alike. :nahnah: :scarface:
-
both are garbage, i dont see a point?
-
Two grown men arguing about who licked lollipops first.....hmmm......
-
50's pathetic. he beefs wit anyone to sell records. it's starting to catch up to him.
-

You get a prop for mentioning some OG music.
