Big Joe LaPuma over @ Complex caught up with Curtis and asked him about the perceived tension between him and Dr. Dre, BISD, Fat Joe’s first week numbers, Jadakiss, Em’s exclusion from and Gucci Mane’s #6 spot on the MTV Hottest MCs list and more.
Here he takes his turn in the ongoing war of the soundbites/pull quotes between him and Hov:
Complex: Getting back to Jay-Z, who ended up #1 on the list. Much has been made of his recent comment that “no one is afraid of 50 Cent.” Regardless, it seems like the general public agrees that Kanye wouldn’t have pulled that stunt if you were on stage instead of Taylor Swift…
50 Cent: He wouldn’t. You can’t convince the public, you can’t convince Kanye to say he would’ve did that. If I was there and he did that to me we would have had an altercation. Right there. It’s clear. He [Kanye] would have avoided that, just being intelligent. The interviewer who asked [Jay-Z] about the Kanye situation made him feel like a punk. His presentation is really simple and you can’t have both. You can’t be gangster Jay from Marcy and be the good guy Jay-Z on Oprah. You just can’t. They don’t let you in. That’s Mr. Knowles, he just got that pass. There ain’t any tickets to an inauguration ball with niggas. If you’re from the hood, you have that element or that aura around you, there’s no tickets for you. It’s “safe” people there. This is why those things are happening. This is why he has to convince the person that he’s talking to he’s not afraid of anyone.
Give me a break Curtis, you act like you’re still in the streets. I guess the ball’s in Jay’s court now.
