Power season 3 debuts on July 17 and 50 Cent is doing the media rounds to promote the series. He recently spoke on young rappers Desiigner and Bobby Shmurda along with the legendary Tupac Shakur.
In an interview with The Daily Beast, 50 spoke about the quick success of Bobby Shmurda & Desiigner with the singles "Hot N****" & "Panda".
“Bobby had a great record. That song is a great record,” stated 50. “A lot of times when an artist receives an opportunity too fast, like Desiigner and ‘I got broads in Atlanta,’ you haven’t heard another song yet. You see what I’m sayin’? So you get a No. 1 record and you think, well, how do I do this again?”
He talks about the song by Shmurda being used against him in his current court problems. “They were under investigation. What’s the accident? Was the song an accident?” asks 50. “He didn’t write the song with the intention of it being a hit record. He wrote it for his neighborhood. Lloyd Banks used that production for ‘Jackpot,’ and when Bobby’s writing a record like that, he didn’t have a record deal. He was writing it for his people. When you get hot in the inner city, you’re hot in a 10-block radius. Your friends say, ‘Yo, my man is nice!’ That starts to happen, and then it evolves into something else.”
Curtis Jackson traveled the path of a hip hop legend from street rapper to the big screen in Tupac Shakur. 50 shared his thoughts on Tupac Shakur’s transition from Baltimore School for the Arts pupil to creator of songs such as “2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted,” “Hit ‘Em Up,” and “Thug 4 Life.”
“[2Pac] almost never stopped playing Bishop after Juice, you know what I’m saying?” said 50. “It’s when that ‘thug life’ energy came out and started to evolve into a persona. He’s way better than people saw him as. He’s way better. That’s an art student right there and thuggin’ is his theme. He was so much more advanced than anyone will ever know.”
