In the clip above, 50 Cent expressed unhappiness with touring and says he may never make another record in a interview conducted on Tuesday night. In the full clip (located here), he explains how his latest album differs from his previous ones and gives advice to his fans about pursuing their goals.
In related news, early reports have Kanye West beating 50 in their much-hyped battle of album sales: West’s “Graduation” is on pace to sell about 575,000 to 700,000 its first week out, while 50 Cent’s “Curtis” is on track to do 550,000, according to Billboard magazine. The official word won’t come until next week though, so you never know.
It was a good fight. Fiddy didn’t take home the belt but it was a good fight
Forbes magazine didn’t report the 100 million dollars Fiddy, made this year from the sell of his V-water to coco cola. He actually made 132 million dollars this year, not just the 32 million from his other business ventures. When Forbes re-do their numbers for 08′ counting venue for 07′, Fiddy should be on top of Jay-Z. And we not even counting earnings from his new cd, and tour stats. Over-all Fiddy has a net work of over 200 million dollars. Kayne can only dream about having that much wealth. So Fiddy, let the dog have his Bone! You be IIGHT!
I’ said it before and I’ll eep saying it. 50 is one of the smartest business man. Trust me he has something bigger and better up his sleeve. He is beyond hustling CD’s He does not have to. The man is worth 32+ million dollars. He’s rich BIOTCH!!!!! Now take that the bank!!!
dont worry 50cent i didnt enjoy your new material either, he seemed to not care for real when he said on 106 n park that he doesnt care if people steal it and download it, PLUS KANYE ISNT FALLING INTO 50CENTS TRAPS…he doesnt know what to do now,
he cant beef with him so he gets bored lol i dont think money can make someone happy, its making the music that is the fun part,
he had allota fun with the i get money hype and the beefing, u cant buy that,
R.I.P. 50 CENTS RAP CAREER… 2003 -2007
Long live Curtis Jackson a rich shell of a man.
I still love ya 50……I enjoy ya shows. Kanye does have a better album, but fifty is still going to go gold. thats a milestone alone. GGGGGGGGGGG-UNIT!
good riddance. He can go sit in his house and never return for all I care. I’ve never really been a fan of his. I only gave him a chance because he was attached to Eminem and Dr. Dre. But from jump he was getting into it with a lot of different artists’ and things so he’s never been good to me. Yea, hes had some bangers, things you can nod your head to but really hes annoyingly sure of him self. Like he says hes had consistent success with his albums and thats true but the content hasnt changed to me either. So I hope Kanye does beat him in sales because even tho Kanye hasn’t sold as many records he is always different. If its not his flow, its his look, if its not the beats, its his videos. So with all that being said.. Get em Kanye!
the publicity stunt only helped Kanye because 50 is known for selling more records the first week than any other artist.
LOVE HIM MORE NOW.
that young d character has no life…the 50 album sucks….i like kanye and his suburban ass lol everybody is not hood and don’t wanna hear about what 50 has to say. i’ll take kanye over 50 any day…love him and his pink shirts lol
kanye all day!!!
I’m refering to this nonsense in my post above:

kanye is like hmmm im going to wear a pink sweater, white pants and some pink timbo’s with a pink jansport backpack. fuck dat nigga
Young D, #48 speak for yourself, because I do matter. You may feel that you don’t and tha’s sad.
Anywho, I’m really feeling the emotional 50, that’s what you need to do 50, get down off your Hoppy Horse. I really like the interview.
Well…50 got the money and it aint nothing wrong with a brotha taking a break. Do you 50…cause aint no one trying to hear that majic stick crap. Maybe it is burn out or lack of creativity. Maybe you do need to rest and regroup. But, I still say that I like how your image has become more friendly and my advice..if I were you. Id would focus on acting for a little while…star in a few movies. Keep ya bread steady that way….but make sure that all your roles arent those gansta/killa/pimp characters that BET show every Friday/ Saturday night. Keep Ya Head Up Fiddy
He just pissed ’cause Kanye actually “beat him”.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT SHIT WAS HILARIOUS!!!!!!! DEPRESSED GORILLA. KARMA’S A BITCH 50. go join JA RULE LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EAT YOUR WORDS BITCH! you ain’t a predicate. king of new york? nigga you live in the woods in connecticut
can’t believe you guys really think kanye is real or better. they are both cocky at least 50 jokes about it. kanye needs Jay to baby sit his nerd ass. jay follows him every where to make sure that people notice kanye. he is a pussy. they both talk about how much money they have so what make kanye’s better is it because he talks about luis vuitton in EVERY song? somebody please help me understand because i don’t know why CL hate sexy 50 so much
For anyone who doesn’t like Kanye’s CD, in the words of Jay-Z I have just one question for you, “Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it?”
chantel #134 sounds like some hurt Ja Rule fan
nesflash, 50 will not Ja because he just sold
310 000 albums in 24 hours, which is more than what Ja will sell in two weeks.
not to mention Ja is near starving whilst 50 is topping Foebws lists like its nothing
His response only proves that he cares more about making money than making GOOD music. Mr. West on the other hand is more about his music.
Just about every song on 50 Cent’s Curtis is a dud. Kanye’s might have a few, but I’ll go with Kanye because he has more confidence in his own material than 50. Stupid MF.
I am not a ye fan I love me some Fiddy and if he don’t wanna put out another album
it is o.k, He is at a point in his life where he has enough money to just chill and let
someone else shine! Fiddy what eve u decide to do it don’t matter your true fans will
support u 100%!
all I have to say is TEAM KANYE!!!!!
50 CENT don’t know what he wants to do., i hope this be the last

*hugs for 102*
You said EVERYTHING I think about this situation and that whole “gangsta” rap scene. THANK YOU!!!
Sure Kanye is arrogant and sometimes annoying, just like 50, but the difference is Kanye makes some great music and there is no denying that. I can listen to Through the Fire, Touch the Sky, Jesus Walks, Golddigger, Good Life, Champion, Stronger, etc. at least 5 years from now and still enjoy them. I really cannot see myself listening to tracks like Magic Stick and Amusement Park years from now.
On Ye’s new CD he has only 13 songs and at least 9 of them are great. Now 50 on the other has a CD of repetitive lyrics and redundant beats. As someone else said, based on his latest reponse its apparent that he is more concerned about making alot of money than making good music. At nothing wrong with wanting more money, but if you are a real artist you really care more about your craft.
Yes Gee, I was serious, because a lot not all but a lot of people only took Kanye’s side in this whole thing based off of the fact that 50 is arrogant, jokes a lot, and is successful while doing it, While Kanye does the same thing but instead he crys and puts down everyone and anyone around him at that moment! Yall need to check it out on MTV.com or youtube!!! Kanye’s album is okay, but it’s not as good as 50′s album as a whole! SERIOUSLY!!! Some 50 haters are getting all happy because 50 talks sh*t they say, when crybaby Kanye is ten times worse and puts down innocent people and thinks he’s GOD! I’d rather “Get Money,” not “That That Don’t Don’t Kill Me Will ONLY MAKE ME CRY HARD.” LOL PLEASE! Kanye is corny and unfortunately yes this world has a lot of corny people probably running around with their ugly white 3D glasses on right now like they are rocking a gucci or something, you know that sh*t was wack!!! Haha Kanye was winning because he has people thinking he’s the good guy and he’s not, let’s expose him for what he is, CRAZY!!!!SORRY!!!
Kanye is the biggest D*ck and I’m not talking body organs!!!! Shut-Up Crying Kanye Go Team 50……..Make Money…….Stop Crying You Aint The Only Star Shining!!!! LOL
Kanye gone have yall looking for UFOs next!!! Haha and no this isn’t a beef between him and 50 just a friendly battle, but that still don’t make Kanye sane!!!Haha SORRY!!!
hahaha, i dont think there is much between the albums to be fair, i havnt bought either and personally i dont think either deserve to be bought.
There is something about kanye i cant stand, his points of view on things he trys to feel so strongly about when to be perfectly honest hasnt got a fucking thing to do with him, like the guy that said about hurricane katrina kanye doesnt influence or have anything to do with what bush had done there and kanye and those that agree had thier nigga sight on or something as im sure 50 cent being black said he thought bush done all he could in the situation and to think otherwise is just ridiculous. Not to mention the bullshit he pulls at awards just makes me think hes a raving queer nut job.
50 at least is witty and talks about things that maybe controversial WITHIN music, i have alot of respect for 50 what hes achieved how he maniplulated things in the past, genius.
y is people hating on fiddy because he is cocky, Ye is arrogant and so is Jay so y
people is not hating on them. Honestly do u peope think Kanye is better than fiddy.
Anybody that thnks ye is better than fiddy has issues. Kanye is a fag making songs
about jay being his big brotha. Fuck outta here Ye hope off of Jay’s nuts. I understand
u may have alot of luv for Jay but making a song about him being ur big brotha is going extral hard!
why you mad 50? . . cuz you aren`t winnin. . smh sore loser. .
You are all the type to want to see someone on top fall. Especially people seem to have it in for 50 Cent because he came up too fast. It took Jay Z the fall of two giants for him to become what people make of him today. 50 Cent shouldn’t worry about this too much, people are just jealous of his success. In the industry many despise him. He should just fall back and focus on other things while enjoying his riches.
To all on Concreteloop and even concreteloop mods……you are all haters of 50 cent why??
The interview
http://www.youtube.com/wa...ch?v=nZIhaP8RZNo&NR=1
& This One Is Kanye Crying aaaagain
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-631TgPP2s
The fact of the matter is Kanye is more creative and thats going to make for a better album always.
50 doesnt work as hard as kanye does. To me 50 is just putting out records because he can. I appreciate the effort in this album from kanye. 50 did ok he has some hits where the writing is brilliant but Im gonna have to say kanye’s cd has more, and 50 cent see’s it.
You dont have to be a gangsta to sell hip hop records. Kanye is repping for the mama’s boys.
Goood Finally no more 50 percent dont wanna hear his crap on the radio finally…hated him from day 1
and as 4 kanye west his music is good but he bitches alot!
so i gotta message 4 all mainstream rappers or pop singers ….FUCK BET FUCK MTV FUCK TV FUCK RADIO Fuck mainstream!
fuck bubble music…fuck these plastic rappers…fuckin 50 cent with his kindergarden music & rhymes…if 50 cent makes another song after this….his new song will be called hokey pokey that kindergarden shit.
DONT BUY 50 Cents ALBUM or KANYE west ALBUM! – fake pop singers

if 2 Pac was alive he’d be dissing these fake rappers

If you had money like 50, you wouldn’t care about making “good music” either. Kanye said himself that he wishes he had money life Fif. Yall have failed to mention songs like “Many Men”. Songs like that are memorable songs. Anyway, 50 will be at the top of hip hop along with Eminem until someone comes and sells 12 mill…which is never gonna happen.
I agree with # 23
The industry is using 50 to cake on other artists to sell records…50 was the first to be released on the 11th, then everyone jumped on and made it a marketing opportunity for other people to sell records..Everyone knows 50 sells record, so the motive was to get Kanye fans stirred up to sell over him…sh*t, even B5 jumped in on the action….At the end of the day, 50 is RICH YA Dig!! So he has to option to take a break…and let these industry cats ease off and relax a little…he’ll come back in 3 years a set the industry in a frendzy all over again!!!!
@ 11~ LMAO!!!!!! I respect your honesty!!!!
@ 62… I couldnt have said it better… Fif did what he came to do and that was get his story told and make that GWAP!!! What he did can never be undone… Take that shit and Run ni**a Run!!!!
SIT DOWN KANYE LOVERS!…yall only love Kanye because yall love to hate 50. For that matter, at the end of the day muthaf%*kas is still bouncing to every song 50 has released, from In da club to Amusement Park..just because you may like one song better than the other doesn’t mean it ain’t good!!!….Let’s all just face it, stop trying to be different by saying you really don’t like 50, at the expense of taking away a brothas shine!…Anybody focused on they focus deserves their shine!! and puhhhlease get over trying to make Kanye more of a rapper than he is…dude is a straight entertainer..that’s what he does, entertains us!!! EASY
IF 50 CENT CAN SELL 310,00 IN THE FIRST DAY OF SELLS, HOW IS THERE NO PLACE FOR HIM ANYMORE. PEOPLE CAN’T SELL 300,000 IN A WEEK LET ALONE ONE DAY. SO YOU MEAN THAT MIMS, RICH BOY, DJ UNK AND YOUNG BERG HAVE MORE OF A PLACE IN HIP HOP THAN 50. BULLSHIT. TI DIDN’T EVEN SELL 500,000 THE FIRST WEEK AND HE’S JUST GONE PLATINUM. 50′S RICHER THAN TI AND HAS A MORE INTERNATIONAL BASE THAN TI. 50 MAKES MORE OMNEY OUTSIDE THE US THAN IN THE US. IF 50 WASN’T AN AMERICAN ICON NO MORE. HE COULD MOVE OUT TO PARIS OR SOMETHING AND STILL BE A ICON. IF 50 CENT DOES SELL 500,000 PLUS THE FIRST WEEK THAT MEANS THAT PEOPLE STILLDIG HIM. PLUS, THIS IS ONLY FIRST WEEK SALES. PEOPLE LIKE 50 CENT CAN’T LOOK AT FIRST WEEKS SALES AS FAILURES BECUASE HE CONSISTANTLY SELLS RECORDS WORLD WIDE. PEOPLE STILL WANNA BY HIS FIRST TWO ALBUMS TODAY. G UINT!
Still rootin’ for Curtis.
word @ 73.
Love Curtis!!!!!! Such a real man. I would love to meet 50.
I love a man with street knowledge and conducting himself in a business maner.
50 built an empire! G Unit!!!!!!!!!!!! I keep saying this and I’ll say it again. He such a great businessman. Wow, who would ever guess that investing in a viotile market these days would make him even richer….Love him or hate him….He’s rich BIOTCH!!!
Kanye: I dont like men rapping about another man admiring, a “Big brother”. That sounds very strange to me. Secondly, the Louis Vuitton thing? Handbags? Duffles?
Sounds like girl talk to me.
For all those that say Kanye is gay…why does he have to be gay? Because he dresses flashy and doesn’t talk about killing people. If anything 50 is the idiot who went for the okie doke. Came out with whack gangsta rap, perpetuating stereotypes of black men and people ate it up. You have someone who comes out speaks about college and issues within the black community and he is called a fag. That is why I like Kanye because he even says on his album “Everything I’m not made me everything I am.” Every black person is not living in the hood slanging acting ignorant.
its KANYEEZY BICTHES!!!!
@ 161: I feel a sex appeal from 50, not from Kanye. I understand 50 does say some derogatory things. By all means I am no supporter of those lyrics. It is strictly sex appeal. I am attractive to a him and the bad boy image. However, I am also attractive to a bussiness man that takes risk too (Vitamin Water).
Kanye lyrics are mostly positive and I can appreciate that too. Both have good music. Although I do not like Kanye image of preppiness. It is not sexy to me neither is talking about Louis Vuitton all the time. I talk about my Louis to my girlfriends all the time. Big Brother IS positive. I just do not see Kanye appealing to me. Kanye and 50 are equally talented. This is what we need right now a balance. And it works too. So dont be offended. Its a personal preference.
aawww thats depresin i dont like seein 50 like that cuz i actually like this guy n i feel sorry 4 em i really do PLEASE DONT QUIT 50 THA GAME NEEDS YOU!! or at least i do
5O Cent has been one of the rappers that has grown very fast in the industry. And has made the PHILOSOPHY of GET RICH OR DIE TRYING a reality. It dosent mean that if his album CURTIS dosnt outrun KANYE WEST, that the G wont be making money. Just that PRIDE and UNDER-RATING Caused his down fall on sales. But I think he is going to lay low and come back with a BANG!!! So u haters, keep hating and you money makers keep counting that dollars! Cuz 50, KANYE is all about the paper. Stay G..ddddd UP Nigar!!!!!! Nigeria is where am hallaing from.
