50 Cent Disagrees With Kanye West
Wed Nov 2, 5:21 PM ET
NEW YORK - Rap feuds aren't usually about differing opinions on President Bush. However, that appears to be the case between 50 Cent and Kanye West.

50 says he disagrees with West's infamous statement that " George Bush doesn't care about black people," proclaimed during a September telethon for Hurricane Katrina victims.

"I think people responded to it the best way they can," 50 told ContactMusic.com. "What Kanye West was saying, I don't know where that came from."

Okay, now, pay attention RIGHT HERE:

Instead, 50 said, "The New Orleans disaster was meant to happen. It was an act of God."

It wouldn't be the first time 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, made comments that weren't flattering of West. In a September interview with MTV, 50 — while otherwise complimentary of the popular "Gold Digger" rapper — said: "I feel like Kanye West is successful because of me."

"After 50 Cent, (hip-hop fans) was looking for something non-confrontational, and they went after first thing that came along. That was Kanye West, and his record took off."

West's second album, "Late Registration," has remained near the top of the charts since debuting Aug. 30.

50 stars in the upcoming film "Get Rich or Die Tryin," a biopic of the rapper that is set to open Nov. 9.

1. 50 Cents is a thug whereas Kanye West has appeal across the board

I'm not a fan of rap/hip-hop, but I've been listening to more Kayne West and I like his sound. 50 cents doesn't have that appeeal and you know - go fuck yourself Curtis Jackson, your worth is about the same as your rap name

2. 50 said, "The New Orleans disaster was meant to happen" n/t

[StopTheMorans]

5. yes, 50 cents is certainly much different than Kayne West, although they

both owe it all to their 4fathers like Dr. Drew and Snoop Dog, and even Run STP before that. and how about Digital Overground, they were the atomic bomb diggery too?!?!??

24. "homefry"

You guys are killing me :rofl:

[Beware the Beast Man]

20. Are you his agent?

[jmm]

3. 50 loves free press and publicity stunts

Kayne has worked with The Game and didn't disavow him after the feud between Game and 50 started so he is a perfect target for 50 who needs press for his new film. From what I hear it's no 8 Mile.

It says alot about Bush that his most vocal supporters in the rap world now are 50 Cent and Suge Knight.

[Truebrit71sbruv]

4. Hey...

...but would you give any creedence to what any man says that freely announces he ain't the full dollar?

[Deja Q]

8. Chuck D vs 5 cents; my money's on Chuck D - every time.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

10. Yeah, I just saw "50" on a pink Vitamin Water billboard.

Can you say "sell out"?

[ucmike]

18. he owns part of vitamin water.

one of the first things he bought when he got money. he noticed everyone was drinking it, so he thought it would be a good investment. now he has a signature flavor and partial ownership.

[ucmike]

19. i don't know why anyone cares or pays attention

do you think he votes? do you think he has deep political convictions. he probably likes bush cause bushco kills people. they're both thugs, just of a different variety.

[WCGreen]

14. Well, that's one of the great thin books of all time....

50 cent biography....

And he wouldn't be anywhere if it wasn't for Eminem

[bridgit]

16. fear of a black ass-hat...

but you are right too many of them pander to the gangsta mentality where it's all about the bling bling and nothing more :thumbsdown:
