50 Cent is talkin' to MTV News trying to make sense of why radio no longer wants to play him.
50 Cent on Lady Gaga's success:
"Her records go to top 40 and crossover radio immediately. You can't really compare it to any artist that would be considered a pop artist or a white artist," 50 said of his circumstance in relation to Gaga's. "And I say that openly, because what we consider urban radio or rhythmic radio was referred to as black radio at one point. That right there is something that I am conscious of."
50 Cent on Eminem's success:
"You can't compare Eminem and 50 Cent's career on any level," he said. "Eminem doesn't know what the inside of Hot 97 looks like. He's never even had to go there. So the top 40 and crossover-radio platforms are detrimental to the success of an Eminem project, and for me to get to the top 40 or crossover space, I have to have music that performs so well on your Hot 97s and Power 106s of the world until it actually goes up to that point."
My theory was that people don't really want to hear 50 Cent Rap anymore...but what do I know? In others news, 50 Cent doesn't want you to treat kids the way he treated Hot Rod.
