You seem to be standing on your own two legs from a business perspective. As well as a music aspect, not that you ever weren't, but you kind of seemed to drift away from Em [Eminem] and Dre [Dr. Dre]. What's the relationship like?
50: I never really got any help. I got the love Em gave. Em is the guy that does no wrong, hes like right next to my grandmother. Like if he did something to me to make me uncomfortable and felt it was wrong in my head I would be like he didnt mean to do that, thats just not him. Before, instinctively, I go into attack mode if someone does something that makes me uncomfortable, but him, I go ' he aint mean that' cause I just know a lot of times hes not actually paying attention to this other shit. I bring him up to speed on the shit of whats going on. As far as Dre is concerned, I worked with Em for two days on GRODT, recorded 4 songs, kept 2 ("Don't Push Me" and "Patiently Waiting") I worked with Dre, we recorded 8, I kept 5 ("In Da Club" "P.I.M.P." "If I cant" "Back Down" and one other) and was like we done. I did enough work, I was already conditioned, there was no point where I was like can you help me write this or could I get you to do this.
But the relationship is still solid between the 3 of you guys?
50: Yeah, they have huge personalities/differences, we both have a passion for music, me and Em have more similarities than me and Dre. It's crazy, Hailey is Marquise, Kim is Shaniqua, there are a lot of comparisons.
