50 Cent Speaks Out Against Kanye West

Lisa Rogers, 11.04.2005, 11:22 AM
(EZ-Tracks) - Rap feuds are usually based on an east coast west coast rivalry and not in defense of the president; however that appears to be the case between rappers 50 Cent and Kanye West. 50 says he disagrees with West’s infamous outburst on the September telethon for Hurricane Katrina where he went off script saying “George Bush doesn’t care about black people.” "I think people responded to it [the disaster] the best way they can," 50 told ContactMusic.com. "What Kanye West was saying, I don't know where that came from." 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 praising 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."

I think that both 50 cent and Kanye West is correct. I really think that 50 cent likes alot of attention, that is how he sells his records. It is so sad that everyone can not make legal money. Especially young black men.

What 50 said against Kanye West has been viewed by some as a personal attack and by others as an opinion. In the real world everyone has an opinion, a different view if you will, but if it stimulates others to look at situations from a new angle or perspective then it has accomplished much. I do believe that West had a genuine opinion/view about Bush, and he's entitled to that, but in the proper forum. My feelings are the same concerning 50 as well. If West wanted to speak out against Bush's actions or inactions he should've done so in a proper forum, and if 50 wanted to express discontent with what West had to say, he should've arranged a "sit down" with West so that they could both engage in the exchange of ideas, ideals, viewpoints and the like. We all know that once something is said in the medias presence it takes on a life of it's own, a blob if you will constantly changing shape to get the maximum exposure and effect for the best "shock value". If we all are really looking for the "truth" concerning this matter and others then the parties concerned should actually participate in open forums for the intelligent exchnage of idealogies. Otherwise, it's like looking at the monkeys in the zoo throwing _ h _ t at one another, and I think that we all can agree that we've seen enough of that to last a couple of lifetimes. PEACE OUT!
