Re: [scifinoir2] 50 Cent Disagrees With Kanye West
50 cent is ignorant. I heard what he had to say about this, and it made no sense. He is just trying to get something started to increase popularity. Besides, he also told 3 black DJs and predominately black audience in LA on Wednesday that white women have it going on in response to a jest that it is funny that the NBA is making players give up their doo rags, but not their white women. Ananda Lewis, one of the DJs was very funny in her reply, which was thanks 50. As a black woman, I really appreciate that. But frankly, he is not going to lose me as a listener over it. I never was one. - Original Message - From: Said Kakese Dibinga To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 02, 2005 10:55 AM Subject: [scifinoir2] 50 Cent Disagrees With Kanye West 50 Cent Disagrees With Kanye West 1 hour, 25 minutes ago 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. 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. ___ On the Net: http://www.contactmusic.com Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press.

Re: [scifinoir2] 50 Cent Disagrees With Kanye West
(rolls eyes) 50 cent really rubs me the wrong in so many ways. And he's one of the main problems behind rap. And his words only prove it. IMO Kanye in this case was right and what we saw during NO mess proves it. I think this guy would sell out his own mom if it could make him money.
