WTH 50 Cent

A few weeks ago I read some interview comments that 50 Cent had where he was talking about Jay-Z. I found these on nahright.com. The thing that stuck out to me was this quote right here:

"He has a king complex, he thinks he’s fucking Jesus, you know what I mean? This J-Hova shit."

This was not that big a deal to me...until I was reading the XXL with him in it. And I am reading I read this quote by 50 Cent where he says this:

"...They were giving me resistance-they didn't want me to win during the Curtis project, because of the success I had prior to that. But it's interesting, because they made me successful. And when I say "they", I mean the general public.

This dude talks about Jay-Z having a King Complex, well this dude has to have a god complex or something. And this is not the worst thing that he has said, he has said things more ridiculous than this. I wonder why he cannot admit that the material on Curtis just was not that good. I am sure he will find a way to run around and say how even though Before I Self Destruct is a potential flop(when it comes to 50 Cent numbers) it was because people wanted him to fail because he has become so powerful. Looking at the numbers of Before I Self Destruct they are beyond weak compared to all of his previous efforts, yes, I understand that the way albums are sold has shifted completely since when his first albums came out but still. If 50 Cent has followers like I believe he believes he does then his numbers would be much better. Before I go any further let just say that when it comes to 50 Cent as a business man, knowing how to market himself, and creating extremely catchy songs he is truly a genius but this dude is not the artist that he thinks he is. He feels like every time he does something that is going to completely shift the paradigm. Everybody has to have noticed that his material has suffered as time has gone bye. While he does come out with the occasion song that makes people realize why the were so intrigued with 50 Cent it is always followed by a dud these days.

But any who hopefully 50 Cent definitely is not as hungry as he used to be when he first came out. While he is still in beef like when he first came he not hungry like he was when he first start and I think it causing him to suffer in certain situation, because his intention are questioned.
