Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson gets his corporate, polished swag on in the first international issue of Vibe Magazine. The urban music publication has chosen 50 Cent as the artist who has impacted the globe through album sales and outside business ventures. Inside the issue, Jackson somewhat talks about his “relationship” with Chelsea Handler, his thoughts on rappers and their face tattoos and more:
50 on rappers with face tattoos:
“That’s the craziest thing. Not necessarily Gucci, but to tattoo your face says that there’s not a possibility that you can actually walk into a legitimate establishment without makeup covering your face every day. That does not work. It creates a separation. It says, “I’m an artist.” That’s it. That’s the statement you make when you go and tattoo your face…But know that the public will not have interest in you as an artist for life. You have to be phenomenal. Talk to the best that do it and they will tell you that it will take more than you being an artist. It takes marketing, maneuvering to generate for that long. When you got 40-year-old rappers in the game, those guys have maneuvered and survived.”
On Dr. Dre’s reaction to his sleek headphones:
“I have a strong personality, a strong character. And I can be difficult to deal with at certain points because I’m vocal. If you upset Em, he’s just gonna not talk to you. You’re not going to get him in the next room you wanna get him in. With Dre, the same. He’s not comfortable with friction. That [tweet] is, “Hey look, I’m here. Is everybody still paying attention?” So they go, “Why he say that? Why he say we mad?” Then the meeting happens.” [Read More]
50 is always tryna mean mug, I see right through that..he’s a cream puff who just wants people to like him…ha
50 right bout face tattoo only a artist aka weirdo would do that , and chris brown needs to man up and stop acting like a 10 yr kid adults dont have temp tantrums , they should of never gave that nigger money
“Is LilB Your God ?” –> That’s just not what the based god movement is about -_-’
Fifty is really upping his game. But that face that he makes all the time is so not cool. He’s trying to look hard but he just looks……um…..”special”.
This is why I like 50 cent…I dont see him as a rapper, I see him as a smart business man.
I said the same thing about Guicci’s face tattoo. To all you young people out there, really think about getting a tattoo b4 getting one. My best friend is a tattoo arists, I’ve worked and hung out in many tattoo shops in NYC & I dont have a tatt….cuz I’ve seen wayyyyy more bad tatt’s than good ones.
All a black businessman is in the entertainment industry, at the level that a 50 Cent is at, is a nigga that knows how to follow instructions and bend over the boardroom table for the white jews. At the end of the day, the goal for all “big thinking” rappers” is to parlay whatever fame they get from the minstrel show known as “hip hop” into acting, because all these negros are acting when they rap about how thugged out they are anyway. Acting is real money, unlike the 14 cents an album these slaves are making in the music industry.
50′s looking nice
