Is he saying that eminem is the reason why hip hop = pop ?
Not really easy for me to understand 50, I have the feeling that he doesn't articulate... his lips don't even move when he speaks lol

He said Eminem is one of the reason why Hip Hop is "mainstream" and accepted as a genre now basically. And I agree with him, Eminem introduced rap to a lot of sub urban kids and reached a wider audience.

So he doesn't say pop in a Lady Gaga way, but as popular music.

Well, hip hop music was already moving to a more pop sound before Em. Eminem was just a bigger artist and amped up the white-suburban audience like Trimss said

Here is the EMs part if you dont wanna watch the video.

“I think the best rappers are like battling each other. They come up with the wittiest lines—[the] coolest ways to insult a person you ever heard in your life,” 50 Cent explained. “But they can’t write a song to save they life…Em is one of the guys from that platform that made it to that point. [He’s] that strong of a writer. He means more to music culture than people give him credit for. Because Hip Hop culture is a black art form, it’s a black music. When they have a figure or you have someone that’s from a different ethnicity come in and he does it as well, if not better than everybody in it—it loses its color. And that’s why Hip Hop music is now Pop music…You gotta be careful or you’ll get your ass handed to you on a track man. He’ll get to you.”

Thanx BlueBarry
