NEW YORK - Perhaps selling 1.1 million copies of his new album in four days has softened the heart of 50 Cent. Or maybe he has so many feuds going, he can afford to let one go.
On Wednesday, 50 Cent and The Game publicly squashed a bitter feud that had erupted into gunfire last week after 50 kicked Game out of his G-Unit clique for disloyalty.
The two platinum-selling gangsta rappers didn't exactly kiss and make up. When they emerged before a media throng at Harlem's famed Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, both looked as if they'd been shoved into apologies by a stern mother.
But they did shake hands, albeit at the end of the press conference, after speaking about contrition and the need for peace.
50 noted that Wednesday was the anniversary of the unsolved murder of Biggie Smalls in 1997, the culmination of a rap war between Biggie and Tupac Shakur that pitted East Coast against West.
"We're here today to show that people can rise above the most difficult circumstances and together we can put negativity behind us," said 50, a native New Yorker. "A lot of people don't want to see it happen, but we're responding to the two most important groups, our family and our fans."
"I just want to apologize on behalf of myself and 50," said Game, who's from the Los Angeles suburb of Compton. "I'm almost ashamed to have participated in the things that happened in the last couple of weeks."
50 presented an oversized check for $150,000 to the Boys Choir of Harlem. Game donated $103,500. It was not clear why Game chose that amount or whether he had been reinstated in G-Unit; no questions were taken at the press conference. They also both made contributions to the Compton schools music program.
Is the truce sincere?
"Of course it was genuine," said hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons, who was at the event. "They stood on stage together."
At the very least, it was a remarkable concession for rappers who routinely brag about killing their enemies.
"It is the first time we've seen 50 publicly take a step back" from a battle, said Elliott Wilson, editor in chief of the hip-hop magazine XXL.
In a statement earlier Wednesday, 50 Cent said: "I'm launching a new foundation, the G-Unity Foundation, Inc., to help people overcome obstacles and make a chance for the better in their lives ... to help them overcome their situations. I realized that if I'm going to be effective at that, I have to overcome some of my own. Game and I need to set an example in the community."
50 Cent has always set an example — usually as an unapologetic criminal gleefully wreaking havoc on other rappers. He almost single-handedly dismantled the multi-platinum career of Ja Rule by relentlessly targeting him in songs, magazines and his 2003 debut, the eight-million selling "Get Rich or Die Tryin'."
Last week 50 released his sophomore CD, "The Massacre," which including a song attacking rappers like Fat Joe, Nas and Jadakiss for making a record with Ja Rule. But his beef with Game was unusual because it involved a member of his own camp.
As 50 was on the radio announcing the expulsion of Game from G-Unit — apparently because Game wouldn't turn his back on some of 50s many enemies — Game's crew rolled up to the station. Guns were fired inside the lobby and a member of Game's posse was wounded.
Game is a protege of superproducer Dr. Dre, who put Eminem (news - web sites) on the map, who in turn made 50 Cent a superstar. They're all on the same parent label, Interscope Records.
Those relationships probably played a hand in Wednesday's reconciliation.
"It's pressure for 50 to look at it from a business perspective and not a personal perspective," Elliott said. "I think the press conference was forced by the mainstream media's reaction to the incident. They don't benefit on a business level to be associated with violence."
Could the whole thing have been a publicity stunt for two rappers with albums in stores now?
Elliott doesn't buy it. "There really was a beef. I think there was a genuine conflict that 50 felt The Game was unappreciative of all the work he did on his album ... and Game is feeling like, 'I'm my own man now.'"
But the two have apparently decided that they have more to lose going against each other.
"I think (50) will continue to beef with other artists," Elliott said. "But to beef with your own artist and someone who you're in business with, it doesn't help you."

:puke:

I ain't shocked or pleased with the picture but it's cool Game and 50 made up, but if Game stays outta G-Unit it won't hurt his career at all, G-Uunit just brought him the exposure but that doesn't mean he needs 'em every step of the way!
-
I guess they're gay now... ::)
-
I was thinkin I was gonna see a doctored up picture....that looks genuine though :-\
-
I guess they're gay now... ::)
lmao..........we'll leave that shit up to Joe Budden, Domination, Ja Rule, Yukmouth when they get their hand on a copy of this pic
-
good to see they squashed, cuz that shit woulda been messy, and yeah i think dre, em, iovine, had alot of input in this
-
this pic is mad homo!
-
I was thinkin I was gonna see a doctored up picture....that looks genuine though :-\
-
LOL Dre & Interscope had a good talk with them
-
I guess they're gay now... ::)
Yes, of course. A kiss on the cheek to get media attention makes them extremely gay.
-
hahahahahahaha dat pic is fucked up.......maybe hes just whispering something in his ear...but i dunno...50's face actually looks like its pressing up against games
-
Jada, Fat Joe & them are gonna have a FIELD DAY with this kissing business...talk about 'kiss of death'...shit, shake hands, hell give your homie a quick hug, but to smooch him for the media...that's on some Elton John shit 8)
-
LMAO at the pic. But it's beyond obvious that Dre n Iovine were the ones who set this up. It might have seemed like a publicity stunt because of the timing but the beef itself is real.
-
i'm surprised game didn't wear his NY cap
-
No way is he whispering in his ear lol
Or maybe he's pulling a Godfather and kissing him before he gets wacked.
-
yo he jus wispering in tha niggas ear
-
yeah that was the first time 50 made a step back in one of his beefs. LOL game looks still mad at him

-
I guess they're gay now... ::)
Yes, of course. A kiss on the cheek to get media attention makes them extremely gay.
Well duh,thats why I put a sarcastic smilie at the end of the sentence
-
Everyone knew you were bein' sarcastic Masta T......who didn't is a bit slow :)
-
hahahhaha dat pic look gay as fucc. judging by his facial expression 50 look like he got a stiffy. and it's like game is thinkin "this don't feel so bad...maybe we should go in the bacc" haha. all i gotta say is. deeze niggaz is bitches. i dont know any nigga in Compton who behaves like dat. what da fucc is up???. either this is da gayest publizity stunt since the dawn of man or it's the most retarded beef in human history. three days ago deeze niggaz was practicly makin death threats and now they squash it and pose as gays to prove it. aint nuttin wrong wit squashin shit...but dont act like a ho. its like niggas have been whooped by they moms. nigga what da fucc. Pac and Eazy is dead and we left wit fags like this!!.
-
Everyone knew you were bein' sarcastic Masta T......who didn't is a bit slow :)
Seriously man,how dumb can a dude get???
-
Fake ass photo, but they do look quite together. In their little relationship I think 50 is the girl and Game the man.
-
lol cool
-
The pic has got to be fake...from all the newspapers, news coverage that I've seen & heard, there's no mention at all of a kiss...you would think they'd at least make mention of it, if it actually happened. Photo's gotta be BS, but the beef was legit IMO. I doubt that all parties involved would be that underhanded in trying to sell records. Either way, no one needs to die over some bullshit.

-
shit reminds me of American Pie 2..
-
50 has been spending too much time with banks
-
They look like a couple of little children. Look @ these pictures, you can see right through all the personas they've concocted, and you see what's exactly there, two little boys. The one on the left, looks scared, like he's afraid his mom's gonna find out, the one on the right, looks like his daddy told him to go apologize.
-
Did anyone notice how 50 says go goheed not go ahead
-
shiit, how narrowminded are you people? kids, grow the fuck up
-
It's weird that some people don't see a man kissing another man as something wrong........... ???
-
it's unusual but not wrong if ask me, just a kiss on the cheek, if someone start to diss dem for this he'll be dissing himself
