This is what "half dollar" had to say:

The first part of 50 Cent's hyped "massacre" is starting to take shape.

On his new mixtape, G-Unit Radio Part 10: 2050 (Before the Massacre), he takes aim again at Murder Inc. with a record called "I'm a Animal." There's also the



"I might sign Ja Rule when he's done at Murder Inc. After I destroy him, I'll rebuild him." — 50 Cent





still-unreleased "Piggy Bank," which disses Ja Rule, Nas, Kelis, Jadakiss and Fat Joe (see "Mixtape Monday: 50's Got Game Again; Cassidy Hustles With Jay-Z"). Now, in the next issue of XXL, 50 gives his enemies a serious tongue-lashing. He appears on the cover dressed in a suit and holding a crossbow. In the pages, he spits fire.

"I'm responding to the actions of others," 50 is quoted as saying about the anger he's unleashing on wax. "I'm not actually starting it. When they are in their articles, they say 'F--- 50' off the record. But they won't say it to my face. And the difference between them and me is I don't have a problem saying f--- them in front of them."

During the interview, Jadakiss catches the brunt of 50's verbal barbs. 50 brushes off the D-Block captain as no competition for him.

"When you can't break a million records, and you call yourself going platinum ... I know your numbers is 800 [thousand] and change, and you can't get over that hump?" 50 says. "And you haven't put out a record with your voice on the chorus? He's a great rapper, but he's not a great songwriter. I got artists under me that are better than him."

In the mother or all ironies, one rapper 50 says he wouldn't mind having in the G-Unit fold is arch nemesis Ja Rule.

"I might sign Ja Rule when he's done at Murder Inc.," 50 tells the magazine. "After I destroy him, I'll rebuild him. Because he never was strong enough to individually go against me. He needs the support of everyone else to try to attempt that. And they should have been smart enough to tell him not to directly go against me."

And if you're wondering if 50 has any qualms about beefing because of his mentor Eminem's beef-squashing stance in "Like Toy Soldiers" ("Eminem Hangs Up Beef, Refuses To Be A Pawn"), the Queens native doesn't let on that he's second guessing himself.

"I don't think Em is realistic," 50 tells the magazine. "On certain levels, he's being logical. Anybody, like I said, would want to avoid those type of situations. Em's seeing if it's possible to not have these issues. Why? Because he makes hit records."

A few weeks ago, 50 had a couple of other interview outbursts. Then, it was on New York radio station Hot 97, where he said he felt Fat Joe had been subliminally dissing him for quite some time now and that he felt since Joe and Jadakiss appeared on the song "New York" with Ja Rule, they were co-signing what he perceived as disses toward him on that record.

On Wednesday after "TRL," Ja smirked at 50's actions.

"He's a clown," Ja said in the green room. "He's a baby. Grow up, baby! What, this n---a think the world revolves around him? Let's be serious. He's digging himself a grave."

50's St. Valentine's Day Massacre is due March 8. The March issue of XXL with 50 on the cover comes out the first week of February.

the sheer, pulse-pounding maturity of all this is knocking me out of my chair.

When isn't a rapper dissing another rapper?

50 cent is a talentless , mumbling , dumb ugly fool
(so is Ja Rule btw)

50 Cent doesn't have a need to "diss" anybody.

The asinine and fatuous shouldn't throw stones.

The end.

50 Cent's 15 minutes were up a year or so ago, weren't they? Shouldn't he be touring college campus parking lots with Carrot Top and putting a bid in for an upcoming season of "The Surreal Life"?

this all seems so juvenile to me and no i'm not talking about the rapper.

all he can do is start bullshit. its the only way to take attention from him being a whack rapper. he doesn't know how to rap about anything else. the way i see it is everyone else has moved on and he's stuck doing the same routine.

a note to all gangsta hip hoppers : GROW THE FUKKUP!

Well we need some good battles/beefin in hip hop....I'd rather hear that then this Lil Jon crunk bull shit...now I am not necessarily bull ridin on 50's shit but it should be intresting to see how it all pans out...as long as it stay's on wax and nobody is dieing behind it...

50 can't touch jadakiss. jadakiss is awesome.Why is 50 dissing fat joe? I want to see 50 come out with something more infectious than lean back, lean back....thats my jam.

Fifty needs to check his mumbling non speaking ass at the door b/c his shit is getting tired. Both Jada and Joe have far more skills than he will ever have in his life. All I can say about 50 is that I pity the fool and I understand why he is on so many people's hitlist b/c he instigates alot of shit.

"What's wrong, wrong with the world today."

what i've heard of 50 cent bores the crap out of me. i can't help that people who get into the guy like him more for his image than his talent - or at most, people like what producers and remixers do with his boring-as-hell rapping.

I just wasted about 90 seconds reading that article. I'll never get that time back

How arrogant! Doesn't 50 realize he's just a harder version of Mase? His "skills" are ridiclious! The man couldn't rap himself out of a paper bag! I can't wait until 2006 when he can't sell an album to save his life. Shot 9 times and sells half a million records out of the box; it's too bad that this passes for talent nowadays.

That's why I only read half of it and then stopped.

Once again, yes. I mean Eminem's "Toy Soliers" IS out. I mean LISTEN 2 the damn song. It's about not having beefs with people to sell records at the risk of taking lives.

50 really just needs to focus on how to sell records without "talkin about people" hype. Its old, that was 2 years ago.
