I Was There
Words: Sacha Jenkins Images: Ben Watts
Excerpts:
XXL: Some of Cam’ron’s jabs are about your not being in the streets with the people.
50 Cent: The same idiot that you you just mentioned went on 60 Minutes and said he wouldn’t tell police about [the whereabouts of] a serial killer. Only thing missing from hip-hop is an IQ test [set in boldface type for emphasis]. If you’re smart, you know that’s not the fuckin’ place to say that. Then you gotta send a statement out and apologize. What does that mean? That he will snitch?
XXL: Why would someone saying your name…
50 Cent: That’s another point. Like I’m telling you, you’re dealing with a real idiot. He calls me the name my mother named me, to make me feel like that’s a disrespect on some level. Doesn’t make sense. Curtis is now the name of my album.
