Rap-Up.com || 50 Cent Talks Hospitalization, Same-Sex Marriage, & Cam’ron Collaboration

Fresh out of the hospital, 50 Cent stopped by Funkmaster Flex’s show with DJ Drama to promote their Gangsta Grillz mixtape The Lost Tape, due May 22.

The G-Unit commander explained the reason he was hospitalized (“I ate something in London that wasn’t right with me”) and addressed the rumored beef with his signee Lloyd Banks. He also revealed that he and Cam’ron are working on a joint project and talked about signing Ma$e to G-Unit.

Plus, does 50 support same-sex marriage? Find out what he had to say.

On his rumored rift with Lloyd Banks: “There’s a point where artists need to go and develop on their own and I think he reached that point. He should executive produce his own project. He been picking his own music. Now it’s time for them to find that manager, those outside people who can completely focus on their projects and take them to that next level.”

On Cam’ron: “They should look forward to us working together, music and film. We gonna be doing something that happens first of the month. We’ll swap each one of the months.”

On Game: “They looking at me saying, ‘You’ve done a lot, but what have you done for me lately?’ So they damn sure don’t care about what he doing.”

On Ma$e: “[Diddy] picked up Ma$e, I thought he was gonna come back and see me with the paper later. He asked me for $2 million. Jimmy [Iovine] like, ‘Ma$e ain’t worth $2 million with $2 million in his pocket.’ Jimmy like, ‘Look, I wanna see this thing happen. Let’s make this thing happen and I’ll give up my profit.’ I’ve never heard him say that ever. I think [Puff] had an issue with losing Ma$e to me.”

On gay marriage: “I’m cool. I would like people to actually be happy. Technically I don’t see where it fits into any religion. The Bible that they would read to marry you, it doesn’t have anything in it that says same-sex. If it does, then I would like someone to point out that interpretation. I’ve encouraged same-sex activities. I’ve engaged in fetish areas a couple times. I’m for it. I’m wondering if I’m bad for promoting it when the president says it’s fine.”

I wonder which rapper will have the balls to stand up against “gay marriage.” Probably none of them since they’re all terrified of the backlash. I nominate Lecrae, he’s really big in the Christian circle. RAP-UP should interview him, and he’ll stand up for what’s right.

You Know in all honesty, the people that protest gay people getting married, civil union, & generally being together, give an issue that is really not that big in my honest opinion more light. I mean look at the facts, married can be made a person of the cloth or a judge, so the power to marry someone is no longer in the hands of the church it is more so in the hads of the state. This really would not be an issue if they would give the responsiblity solely back to the church then based on what belief system is then they could make the judgement call. I mean of course there would need to be stipulations such as no children or animals allowed to be married, because look at the example of the Mormon Church and the way they do things. My point is marriage should have stayed a religious thing and not something controlled by the state. Once it is controlled by the state, it does become a right and everyone should be able to do it. Just saying.

@…, Well it says what it says, “for man to lay with man as with woman is an abomination” I so why would a person that is gay want to be apart of something that does not condone what is apart of who you are as a person. Islam & some other beliefs have some of these same views on same sex relations. I mean it is what it is. You are right marriage is not strictly a Christian thing, but there belief system says what it says. I also did say that based on the religion they should make the judgement call. At the end of the day marriage at it’s roots is a religious thing. Just because it has been put into other settings does not mean that we should ignore the foundation.

Without being religious, its obvious that a dick and a dick don’t mix. these rappers are just saving their career, fuck them chichimen. This is simple biology, dick goes into pussy shit comes outta ass. being gay isn’t right and it should be classified as a form handicap.
