There is no one in the rap game who is more inspiring than 50 Cent, seeing how people are continuing to follow his formula. But, on the business end, 50 Cent has shown people how to expand their portfolio. Recently, 50 Cent created a new music business situation, when he left Interscope Records.
This comes after a falling out with Jimmy Iovine, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, Game, and also Young Buck. These situations came after 50 Cent had beef with Nas, but before the emergence of Troy Ave. 50 Cent is also in situations with Slowbucks/SBOE, along with a few others.
50 Cent recently opened up to Funkmaster Flex about all of this on Hot 97. Having a frank conversation, 50 Cent spoke on the real reason he and Lloyd Banks are not as close as they once were. He even talked about the Interscope falling out, along with Nas, Troy Ave, and Slowbucks, among other things, including Steve Stoute.
