50cent talks about The Game and Buck dissin Diddy
Dubcnn: Did you hear Game earlier this month say that he's trying to get it together with G-Unit and keep it peaceful now?
50 Cent: Well you know...
Young Buck: Yeah I've been hearing about homeboy pushing the line and trying to do that. But you know what, at the end of the day, we not devoted no energy towards homeboy. 50 always directed, not just me but the whole camp, like "That sh*t there is done, let it go, let it do whatever they need to do." If Game did come back after a while where he'd be like "Yo, man I'm through with this sh*t. I don't want no beef", and then after a while, 2 or 3 weeks later, you would hear another fu*kin mixtape record coming out with some bullsh*t. And it got to the point where it was so consistent like that, I was the one that came to 50 and be like "Yo 50, my ***** chill, let's just chill with this sh*t! The boy acts like he don't want no problems".
And you know what 50 would tell me? He would say "You know what Buck, watch this, I guarantee you, I give the boy a week and he gonna be on some other sh*t, like right back on some fu*k G-Unit sh*t!". Well, ***** wouldn't even make it to a week, it would be more or less one or two days, and the ***** would be right back at it! So for me that was like "Ugghhhh!". And that's just more and more to see how a ***** is trying to contradict himself to the fans, and is still pushing line on a underground sense of trying to get his beef across.
50 Cent: If you know a person's character is unstable, they're not valued. No matter what information he delivers to you, tomorrow you don't know if he can stand by his word. And a man that has no word is not even a man!
Young Buck: Yeah fa sho, so like I've been telling you, for me it ain't no sense of devoting no energy to this sh*t. It ain't no energy to it. At the end of the day it's enough push from the ***** end and from my end, you can do the math who's real and who's fake. So for a ***** to push that out, man it's nothing. I'm on some straight get money sh*t, but if a motherfu*ka continue to push the line and do what he do, sh*t gonna get handled in a sense. We gonna pull the sh*t away, and we'll do it all the way in the streets, cause a ***** is so close enough to them sections where *****s call home, that if it's about that, the ***** can make it happen and go and see if it's about that. But if a motherfu*ka knows what's going on and I tell you "Yeah I'ma do this and sh*t..", if you know about it, the police knows about it. Straight up.
So we're fighting that end too when it comes to 50. 50 is a gangsta for real! And we deal with the fact that we have to deal with these *****s that get out of line, and then at the end of the day keep yourself grounded where he ain't gotta see that penitentiary yard too. Cause a ***** real life a ***** hands-on with it. And *****s not gonna let nothing get too close where he gonna either hurt a motherfu*ka, or even feel like it's close enough where he can hurt a motherfu*ka. So you know, sh*t gonna always be in a protective mode. And 50 is his own god **** gorilla. He do what he do, he gonna get it done. I'm another gorilla and I mean that, so everything that 50 does I feel like, OK, I'm a part of it. I don't give a fu*k whether it's right or wrong. But everything is right, so I totally feel good about all these situations when they pop off whether it's The Game or Fat Joe. Cause I been around my ***** to watch this sh*t, and watch it have bubbles and be like "****, this is some crazy *** sh*t!"
50 Cent: You know what it is? Nobody is paying attention to these people enough to see what they're doing behind the scenes, even if I'm in the scene. But because they don't generate as much interest as me, it seems like I'm **** near the brawl street bullet. Because they only see me responding to their behaviour. They don't see them doing what they do to upset me. They miss the part when a ***** doing what he doing, they're like "Why is 50 talking about Puffy?". Like you don't see that we done took Mase on a world tour!
Young Buck: Yo, I just seen Puffy in L.A., I had to roll the window down, I think I spooked him a little bit bro! *laughs*
50 Cent: *laughs*
Young Buck: Yeah bro, he wouldn't even come up the window bro! I was just like "Hey *****, wassup?" I caught him in Beverly Hills running up the street the other day. Yeah, I pulled up on him bro. He had 5 or 6 security guards with him, they stopped and paused though. Cause if I wanted him I had him, but it wasn't on some love. I'm like "Hey man!", and he saluted me, but it was from the sidewalk! I wish I could have–
50 Cent: *laughs*
Young Buck: He saluted me from the sidewalk. But it is what it is from that end. I just caught up to him in L.A. But you know how it goes!
Dubcnn: But 50, do you think that some of these beefs are really on some personal sh*t, or are they just trying to get your attention?
50 Cent: I think to be honest, the music business, not just them, the music business in general is so close knit that Buck is a part of their lives. The conversation they listening and they go "Yo, that new Buck record is getting ready to come out". They're already anticipating what it could do, cause they feel the enegery around him right now. It's crazy out here right now! Instead of them being "Hey 50, 50!", screaming cause it's 50 right there, they're screaming at me like "Where is Young Buck?" right now. That's how the energy feels right now because the record has that type of energy around it.
Right now a Southern based artist is growing faster than a New York City based artist. That's the bottom line. And it doesn't mean that there's a great debate, they have shown that they have a lot of good artists coming out the South. And the South is fu*king huge! How many places are you talking about? When you say New York we're talking about the city, 5 boroughs. But we're talking about 8 cities. So there is a lot more talent that is gonna be showcased.
This is what they don't see, a lot of the music has to be co-signed by somebody. So when you say West Coast right now, that was co-signed by 50 Cent that got that going. Game knows ain't anything been out there in the last 10 years!
Dubcnn: So did 50 Cent bring the West Coast back?
50 Cent: If anybody brought it back, it was 50 Cent and Dr. Dre, because we collectively created the Game project. And it ain't been nothing out there for 10 years.
Dubcnn: So do you think Game is taking the credit by saying that he brought the Coast back by himself?
50 Cent: Can you blame someone who regardlessly to where the credit goes? Everybody knows man, and if you check the money thrill it shows. The money goes back to the people who actually encounted and created it. So you can say what you wanna say. He says he sold 5 million records. He ain't sold 5 million records!
Dubcnn: How many–
50 Cent: Almost 4! Almost 4!
Dubcnn: So why he keeps saying 5 then?
50 Cent: Because it makes him look better! And I ain't had to answer that question for you to know!
Dubcnn: So he was lying about the record sales?
50 Cent: Yeah. He ain't sold no 5 million records. Come on man. But you'll see it, it's all visible.
Dubcnn: Yeah, so what do you expect from his next record? I mean he did it by himself without your or Dre's help.
50 Cent: I'm already seeing what I expect. I see Game writing a song without a hook for "One Blood". I said he's a good rapper, he's not a good songwriter. I see Game making a record where he's totally mimicking 50 Cent and Dr. Dre for the follow-up single . He mimicks Dr. Dre vocally on each verse on his new single, and he's copying my style on the chorus. If you can't hear that when you listen to that record, I don't even wanna talk to you cause you don't even know Hip Hop. When you hear "One Blood", what you'll hear is rap verses. It's like, this kid's M.O. is to make 300 bars. He can rap! Can he write a song? No! And when it comes the time to write a song for his single, he does what he thinks 50 Cent would do.
Dubcnn: You think he didn't make the transition from being a mixtape rapper to a real artist and songwriter?
50 Cent: That's a hard transition to make, my man. Cause he didn't make the first record, that first record was built. He been in the studio over a year and a half. Prior to that, creating material that they felt like they was still gonna drop him. You know what I'm saying? This ain't The Game show, this is about Young Buck, actually. And Buck's project, "Buck The World", is definitely gonna shock a lot of people if they sleep because everybody is paying attention and it's really well anticipated and everybody is looking forward.
Young Buck: I'ma give them exactly what the fu*k they been looking for. And a little bit more too, partner!
50 Cent: Word!
