Considered the birthplace of hip-hop, New York City has seen the birth of a plethora of legendary MCs, including The Notorious BIG, Big Daddy Kane, Chuck D and Rakim from Public Enemy, to name a few. But as for a recent list of New York’s Top 10 Rappers, 50 Cent from Queens was nowhere to be found.
According to the rapper turned television mogul, there is a perfectly good explanation. On Friday, November 12, 50 Cent shared a series of photos on their Instagram account, enjoying a platter of meat, cheese and fruit from a private jet.
“They said I was not one of the Top 10 New York artists,” he wrote in the caption. “I’m nobody’s favorite, I’m a nightmare for those fools when I’m concentrating.”
Just before 50 Cent shared the Instagram photos, he posted a clip of JAY-Z speaking to Power 105.1 FM in which he told a story about trying to warn Memphis Bleek and Beanie Sigel to make music like they did. could before 50 Cent fell his.
“Hahaha, they should have listened,” he wrote in the caption. “It gets hard to shine when I’m around.”
