50 Cent stopped by Hot 97 to talk with Funkmaster Flex about a wide array of topics.
He opened up on showing admiration to Kendrick Lamar for challenging the game bringing some aggression back to the game that missing since his run. 50 said fans were expecting him or Jay to respond to K. Dot on the ‘King of NY’ lyric, but the two were obviously in appreciation of the intensity being brought back to the game.
Speaking of Kings, Nas was brought up which 50 briefly mentioned the two ran into each other at SoHo and cleared the air to get good space. The two quickly drew a comparison to 50’s days in the limelight being the no. 1 target which wasn’t so friendly in today’s genre.
Flex cited Meek and Cassidy having that same classic rap battle beef aura, which 50 said he expects all parties involved to better themselves as artist. Things then transitioned to the status of G-Unit currently which he felt disappointed in Lloyd Banks, Young Buck andTony Yayo not using the same blueprint he did to take over the game seeing potential in all. He says his artist Kidd Kidd has that same intensity to be successful and will promote him the same way he did his prior acts.
Listen to the 30-minute interview with 50 Cent and Flex talking about Hip-Hop, relationship with YMCMB and more.
