50 Cent: "I Don't Start Beefs"

In an interview on allhiphop.com, 50 Cent speaks on the Eminem Bruno prank,  working with Dr. Dre for his new album and..his reluctance to start beef?? Maybe he’s right-who else does he have left to beef with?? Not Meth, at least. Here’s the beginning of the interview:

AllHipHop.com: How close are you working with Dr. Dre on your new album?

50 Cent: I worked with him three times on this album. I worked with him on Detroit on some records and I made four records in Detroit and I went back again. We went in Las Vegas for a little while and back in Detoit again.

AllHipHop.com: What did you think about when Eminem had Bruno’s a** in his face?

50 Cent: I thought it was interesting. I don’t know if he agreed to some s**t like that or why he would agree to that if he did. When I watched the tape is kind of felt like it was planned.

AllHipHop.com: It was scripted they say…

50 Cent: …Because I heard him leaving the venue… I ain’t talking about that though. If it works. Em can do what he wants. You know what Em can do? No wrong. If you saw him wearing a dress in a video, would you say anything? People would totally go, “Oh, Em just had a dress on in the video.” It wouldn’t mean anything, because he’s done so many humorous things in the videos…and been so elaborate with his presentation. Like, he’ll write a song where he gets raped in it.

AllHipHop.com: Uh, yeah…

50 Cent: You’ll hear it and be like, “Yo, play that again.” I’m saying play it again and you’re not supposed to want to hear that. He’ll just get away with that. That just creates the significance for me with him. If I said these things [to fans], they would be like, “What’s going on here?” [Looks around] Tell me what situation that 50’s in a dress? Are you kidding me? Its not gonna go, its not gonna fly.

AllHipHop.com: That doesn’t affect your reputation? They say, you are who you hang with.

50 Cent: Nah, well then I hang with the biggest rapper in the world. So, I guess I’m great. If you think about it, Em, what he’s done for the culture is something that people are not identifying with when they look at him. A lot of people I see when we go out internationally and throughout America, they look like Eminem. And you know what they say when you ask, “Do you like Hip-Hop music?” They say, “Yeah, we love Em.” So, if he is the bridge for these people to become part of the Hip-Hop culture and allow it to open up to the point that it becomes what it is – worldwide.

[Crosstalk about Hip-Hop beef]

50 Cent: I don’t start beefs, because I don’t know how to resolve them. When you stop, you allow people the opportunity to attack you. You’re putting your guards down at that point. I won’t put my guard down with people that have the ability to go back and forth with their emotions.
