50 Cent speaks with XXL

Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson recently sat down with XXL magazine where he spoke on an awry of topics from his new movie called Freelancers, doing too much for Tony Yayo and Loyd Banks, and Kanye West making a song for Kim. Excerpts from the interview can be found below.



On the subject of his new single, New Day off his next album entitled, Street King Immortal fif said
The actual track was produced originally for [Dr. Dre's album] The Detox. I was actually recording with Dre for his record and when he played it, it had a chorus that was a little darker. When he sent it to her, Alicia sent it back with “New Day” and it had additional strings on it. He wasn’t sure that he wanted to use it because of creatively where he was at on his project. I was like, “I can use that” because it would be the bright side of what I’m offering in my body of work. He was like, “Okay, take it then.” Obviously, it was a hit. They’re sitting on it and after a while, she recorded additional verses and leaked the record.

His thoughts on G Unit artist Tony Yayo and Lloyd Banks recent mixtapes and why they failed to "blow up"
I did so much for them that they don’t have a continuous work ethic. They got both of those tapes out there, but did you see any visuals? Anything? There’s certain things that the new guy is doing to create momentum or energy. They just sit there and wait. When someone works for you, you have the habit of dealing with things by not dealing with them. You may get in the regimen of coming over and doing it for them.

In regards to playing a cop in the new film, Freelancers, and working with De'Niro a second time
It was exciting. It’s a challenge, but you understand the spectrum, both sides of the coin. I went to the firing range with New York City police officers just to see what the exact procedure would be to fire the actual weapons and what their protocol is. I went with Robert De Niro. We had worked together on the Righteous Kill project, so it had come full circle when we worked together on Freelancers. I had a lot more scenes in this project. I had a lot more scenes in this project than I did inRighteous Kill with him. What I picked up is how often he makes changes. Him and Forest [Whitaker] are the same. You get in there and you see so many different variations of the scene. Almost every take is different. It’s the same information, but [De Niro] starts from a different place and we got a lot of interesting moments like that. To work with two different Academy Award winners is an honor.

Is Kim Kardashian the "Perfect Bitch" ? I mean…if that man feel like she perfect, then she’s perfect. He could mean it and you’ll end up singing the words to it because he’s Kanye. You know how it is? One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
