50 Cent mocks Best Rap Album Grammy nominations

Couple of weeks ago, in an interview with Spotify, 50 Cent, who served as an executive producer for Pop Smoke’s posthumous album “Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon,” shaded the Grammys for not recognizing gangsta rap: “If Pop Smoke’s album is recognized, it will only get recognized because Pop Smoke is gone. The content is similar to what I would do. They did not recognize mine. They gave me Grammys when I was with Em, when I am on records with Eminem.”

Fifty continues: “They are afraid to give Pop Smoke Grammys because they think it is teaching the audience to want to be like Pop. And to be like him is to be a part of gang culture. Who you see get Grammys that is making Drill music? You mean to tell me ain’t none of those songs worthy of it? Those platforms are not for them to acknowledge. It is for the culture, the people to embrace those tones and to really appreciate the artist for doing that.”

Yesterday, The Recording Academy unveiled the nominations for the 2021 Grammy Awards and Royce Da 5’9″ got the Best Rap Album nomination along with Nas’ “Kings Disease,” D’Smoke’s “Black Habits”, Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist’s “Alfredo” and Jay Electronica’s “A Written Testimony.” As 50 Cent predicted, Pop Smoke’s album didn’t get the nomination but his single “Dior” from that album is nominated for Best Rap Performance.

Fifty headed to his favorite social media platform, Instagram, to address Best Rap Album nominations: “Best Rap Album (laughs). They out of touch this s**t ain’t it, get the f**k outta here.” Check out the actual post below:

On this day, exactly 6 years ago (November 24, 2014), Shady Records label dropped a double disk, compilation album Shady XV, performed by various artists, under Shady Records and Interscope Records, executive produced by Eminem.

The album was released in honor of the label’s 15th anniversary and if features Slaughterhouse, Bad Meets Evil, D12 and Yelawolf, as well as the label’s boss Eminem. The second disc includes some of Shady Records greatest hits, featuring 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Obie Trice, Ca$his an more.

The album debuted at No. 3 on the US Billboard 200 chart and No.1 on US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, with first-week sales of 138,000 copies in the United States and following year the album was certified Gold in the country by RIAA for selling 500,000 copies.

One of the most surprising tracks on the album appears as a bonus track and its the demo version of “Lose Yourself.” Eminem recorded demo version before completely rewriting the song to make it fit with the Jimmy Smith/B-Rabbit character from the 8 Mile movie. As Eminem says in on of his interviews, he does not even remember when and where he recorded the demo version of the Oscar-wining song.

Jeezy takes shots at 50 Cent in a new song “Therapy For My Soul”

Before Jeezy drops The Recession 2 album, the Atlanta rapper dropped the “Back” follow-up single “Therapy For My Soul”. In the song, Jeezy appears to take shots at 50 Cent with the following lines:

“Since we talking boss talk, let’s address the sucka s**t,
Grown man playing on Instagram, real sucka s**t
Why the f**k this clown ni**a playing with my legacy?
Solid in these streets, that’s some s**t that you will never be
Talking ’bout power, but weak ni**as do the most
In real life, ni**a you really borrow money from Ghost
All that lil’ boy s**t, yeah it make it evident
Made millions in these streets, what the f**k is 50 Cent?
And it’s still Free Meech, love him if he right or wrong
But the streets wanna know, do we really get along
If you askin’ me, ni**a, that’s one thousand percent.”

BREAKING: 50 Cent is down for Verzuz Battle VS The Game

Couple of hours ago, 50 Cent set down with Big Boy for an interview where the two talked about viral Verzuz Battle. Last Weekend, Wack 100 made a public call to 50 Cent and The Game to participate on the Swizz Beatz and Timbo led production show. Fiddy is down for it but he did lay down the specific rules:

“If you think about, from my time period, there is nothing that can match that run. You know what? Look. Okay, The Game can not play no records with my voice on it. He got some hits. It would be interesting.

“The Game got some hits. It would be interesting.”

– 50 Cent

Fifty continues: “As much as we argued and fought in the early stages, I would rather see him benefit from the momentum than someone else. He was still part of G-Unit and is gonna be a part of the legacy of, overall. Even if you just wanna concentrate on the break up.”

50 Cent’s “In Da Club” hits 1 Billion views on YouTube

Probably 50 Cent’s greatest hit song “In Da Club” has just surpassed 1 billion views on YouTube. The song was originally supposed to be a D12 song for the 8 Mile soundtrack album. Dr. Dre, who produced the track, played the instrumental for Fifty, who immediately wrote the lyrics for the song within an hour.

According to The Billboard Book Of Number 1 Hits, when choosing which song should be the lead single for Get Rich or Die Tryin’s album, Eminem favored “If I Can’t” but Dre insisted “In da Club” instead. After they tossed the coin, “In da Club” was chosen. The music video of the song features cameos from both, Eminem and Dr. Dre.

“In da Club” eventually was released as the lead single for Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ under Shady Records. The song hit No. 1 in seven countries and went multi-platinum in the United States.

50 Cent says Grammy recognized him only because of Eminem

As you might know 50 Cent served as an executive producer for Pop Smoke’s posthumous album “Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon” and the King of the New York predicts that the project will be snubbed at the 2021 Grammy Awards.

“If the album is recognized, it will only get recognized because Pop Smoke is gone. The content is similar to what I would do. They did not recognize mine. They gave me Grammys when I was with Em, when I am on records with Eminem.”

50 Cent has been nominated for 14 times at the Grammys, but he only won in 2010 for Eminem’s “Crack a Bottle” which also features Dr. Dre. Fifty has received nominations for Best Rap Album, Best Rap Song and Best New Artist throughout his career but has won none.

“They are afraid to give Pop Smoke Grammys because they think it is teaching the audience to want to be like Pop. And to be like him is to be a part of gang culture. Who you see get Grammys that is making Drill music? You mean to tell me ain’t none of those songs worthy of it? Those platforms are not for them to acknowledge. It is for the culture, the people to embrace those tones and to really appreciate the artist for doing that.” 50 Cent added.

As far as Eminem, the Rap God has been nominated for 44 times and has won 15 times.
