50 Cent Praises Diddy For Maintaining Relevance…..
February 24th, 2009
Awwww, 50 Loves Diddy….. So, I emancipated the new issue of King Magazine from my secret newsstand several days ago, but I’m just dissecting the issue today (Yes, I know I’m late). Anyway, since I was stepping out to the pizza parlor for lunch today, I decided to search through the issue while I made love to two slices of pepperoni pizza (not a pretty sight, but I was hungry lol).
Of course, I drooled over the superb photography of the past 50 issues (they’re celebrating The Big 50 this issue) and decided which one I would get detained by the authorities for stalking (it’s a tie between Dollica Bryan and Porschla Coleman), but I also noticed an exceptional piece on 50 Cent written by Adam Matthews.
In the article, 50 touches on the severity of the U.S. economy, his career as an actor, retiring from the rap game, and his perception of wealth and how it’s been altered over the past few years. But before closing out, Fif also offered his perspective on who possesses the best model for staying relevant in the game. Read who he picked, below…..
50 Cent on who has the best model for staying relevant……
“Puffy has the best model for staying relevant, because he does it without a song. He’s been able to maintain an interest and stay in a space to executive produce television projects and stay relevant to hip hop culture. What was the last record that made you feel like, “Oh my god, Puffy is on fire?” You don’t need it. That’s what makes his business model exciting for me. There are only three of us to look at: Jay, me, and Puff. We have three totally different situations. We’ve just been a part of hip hop culture. That’s the similarity. I just think they’re the fire hydrant: You can’t move those guys off the street. I think they’ll still be the guys you need to connect with in the next few years to get a shot.”
Well put, Fif. Now, here’s my question to you guys: Outside of them, because I do believe there will be several others who have the ability to achieve the same relevance, who else will be able to maintain the same feat Puff’s been able to accomplish thus far??? Rappers, Producers, Singers….WHO????????
SOUND OFFF……PLEASE!
Sincerely
Low “Rest assured, I may sh*t on Puff from time to time, but the big homey handles his business” Key
I agree with 50 this time. Jigga, Diddy and 50 Cent are known around the world. i think u can add Will Smith too.
maybe lil wanye could i just cant think how
he could but if he did i bet it would be huge
hell naw not lil wayne. it wont be long intill everyone gete tired of him. HOVA (the best rapper alive) diddy and 50, you really cant compare anyone to them. maybe usher, jd, and maybe kanye west. but for sure not lil wayne. he isnt a business man. the only thing he has is music.
when are we gonna make a play for the heart and soul of the people /in this time of global unrest/we need a hjp hop disaster plan no showed us we need to step or movement up/hjp hop is the way/you got the @@# and the ear of the people check out obam and hip hop=president. 50 lets get bigger stronger and better next level of hip op/thayes-el/revolutionary thinker peace
you come up under a godfather and two kings of hip hop. since 84 albums, movies, clothes, tv shows and books i think alot of rappers need to look at a real blueprint and thats ll cool j. like ll said he light years ahead of the rappers and what he knows is residual income at many levels. so these few years these artist have been cool but they don’t come close.and oh yeah my man ice cube i believe in the classic hip hop pioneers. http://www.tunguskamist.com/tss1
history has proven that being a hot rapper opens doors and avenues to the executive business world. and we have seen several rappers in the past take those avenues, LL, ice cube, hova, diddy, will, eminem & fifty. i dont think lil wayne wont ever cross over because he dont have that look. if you know what i mean.
u guys r forgetin nas……
i see 50 doin his thing
my boy t.i.
yo 50 cent rocking the wolrd homie !
snoop d. o.double gizzle….
this 3men are the best of all…..add them up wif Nas…..peace
I think LowKey meant someone from NY but even if not i choose:
And a drumroll please……………Papo…ose……Pap….oose! Thug-a-cation.
Don’t forget about sisco dummies
Diddy always do it big and they know it.. Ha Ha Coming sooon Doc…
WILL I THINK IT IS DIDDY HOVA TI RUSSEL SIMMONS $**$ 50 HE IS A *%* HE WONT BE IN THE GAME LONG WHY YOU THINK IS ALBUM KEEPS GETTING PUSH BACK
Yeah dont forget Nas he has been in the game for a good good minute
now!He was around before Jay,Puff and Fifty and he still makin hot music!
And he will still be a boss after his music career!
I agree with his listing of the BIG Three.. Don’t forget that AKON has a very large potential with the international market. Will Smith is already in the upper levels of all of these .. too much money
The next BIG Thangs are….. NOT L’il Wayne… But Akon, Kanye and TI..
