50 Cent Talking Shit About Nas..
IP:
50 was questioned a couple of times by concert promoter Lionel Bea about the role rap artists should be playing considering their huge influence over kids. 50 noted that ideally its up to the parents of these kids to explain what it is they are listening to. He felt that his music was made for an adult audience but unfortunately a lot of kids were getting hold of it.
He felt that he should be consistent with what he was about as an artist and not try and play both sides of the fence and cause confusion. He referenced Nas' hit record 'I Can'. While he admits it was a good song for kids, he felt it was a terrible song for adult hip hoppers. He felt that Nas should've made the effort to strictly market the song via avenues like Sesame Street as opposed to coming on the airwaves and causing confusion. 50 noted that Nas had built his career around making aggressive records that deal with adult subject matter. By putting out a song like 'I Can' he misled parents into thinking that Nas is for the kids and therefore its ok to listen to his albums and follow him as an artist. A quick listen to his labums would suggest otherwise. After these parents let their guard down and allow their kids to be exposed to Nas, 50 felt Nas would come out with other records that are adult oriented. 50 raised the question of how do you go from a record like 'Made U Look' where the chorus has him shooting and gunshot ringing to a kids record like 'I Can'. 'Is he making records for kids or adults?' 50 asked. He basically felt that as an artist he should be clear as to who he is and what he's about and own up to that responsibility. Restless Rhymes
