50 CENT has recently invited Million Dollaz Worth of Game down to Shreveport for Humor and Harmony Festival. Gillie shut down the celebrity basketball game, while Wallo watched from the bench. After the game, the guys linked up with 50 to sit down and talk. The trio chopped it up in the kitchen of a pop up Sei Less. They talked about 50’s come up, what did to further his career despite being black balled, and how he broke into Hollywood.
At one point of the interview, 50 Cent talked about first time meeting Eminem and signing a deal with Shady Records: “It was wild. It felt like…Remember that show Punk’d on MTV? I thought they had cameras and it was going to come out and said ‘you’ve been punk’d’. I was in California, he flew me to LA. I was so bugged out from the experience that I had my vest on. The lawyer that I had with me that took me to him, I get there and he’s like ‘let me hug you. Yo, this is going to be the biggest s–t.’ He’s so excited that it made me question whether what was happening was right cause it felt so good that it couldn’t be right.”
Then he continued: “When I left that meeting, I didn’t want him to feel like he bought a problem so I wouldn’t say anything about Ja Rule. When I met him, the first night I met, it was, he had event, it was The Marshall Mathers LP just came out and first week he sold 1.7 million records and he was so excited about me, I’m looking like ‘you serious?!’ And by the time I got back and I would never say anything about Ja until the first time I said something about him, Ja made a mistake and said something about Hailie. When he said something about Hailie, they thought they made some sort of connection when they were getting high. And Em was like, ‘what the f–k made him think like this.’ It was a Friday. Him didn’t record that Friday. I recorded that Friday, that Saturday, that Sunday. He came back, I had a full CD “Automatic Gunfire.” The whole mixtape was done Monday morning. He was listening like ‘yo, when did y’all get the chance to..’ All this s–t was this weekend. I was dying to do that. I just didn’t want him to feel like he bought a problem because I know he didn’t understand the severity of who I am in this. Consequences is you dead, nig-a. There’s nothing else to talk about. He was listening to the material and that s–t was hot.”
“I got 1 million dollar in cash for my first deal. The only person that pointed out that million dollars was no money was Dame Dash. He said ‘after you get watch, chain, look out for the homies and do this and that, it’s nothing.’ And I was like ‘ni-ga, I’m from 134th street, million dollars is a lot of money. I think I hit the lottery.’” 50 Cent added. You can watch the interview below:
