50 Cent was never one to hold his tongue; so it was no surprise how real he kept it when he was asked to give an honest view of the Hip Hop game for Music Choice's new show Chronicles. The G-Unit head honcho is the first musical artist to be featured on the show which is set to air on August 26 at 8pmest. In this interview, 50 praises his good friend Eminem as one of the greatest rappers to ever step foot in the Hip Hop game and should be respected regardless of his race.
50 Cent speaks on the raw and unique talent that Eminem posses in the Chronicles episode:
The one Grammy I have is for "Crack a Bottle." I couldn't even have that without Em. You know, and that's why I have so much value for him, not just in my career, just in my life. He's one of my best friends because I can trust that he's gonna be honest with his constructive criticism when it's time to listen to the music before it goes out.
Hip-hop is black music, without question. And unfortunately for some people, it's tough to accept that you've got a white artist that does it better than black artists. It is what it is. You could get whoever you feel like is the best black artist and stand them face to face in a room with Em, and he'll eat that n---- alive.Right now, if you had 'em prepare themselves in whatever way they would have to prepare themselves to come battle, and I bet you, I bet everything I have - that that n----'s meatloaf.
As a White man holding a dominate spot in the Hip Hop game, the Shady Aftermath co-founder has held his own within the predominantly Black genre since the late 1990s. His sick flow and lyrical uniqueness has earned him tons of respect from Hip Hop fans and it was dope for 50 cent to publicly recognize Eminem's dedication to the game.
