50 Cent "Eminem is the largest hip hop artist, period."

[B.A.D.]

Q: Speaking of Kanye, you said last year if he outsold you that you'd retire. What made you change your mind? With all your assets, you don't need to work another day in your life.

A: Oh, I know. My passion for music is what keeps me going. Like (Eminem). Em is the largest hip-hop artist, period. I'm the largest touring hip-hop artist. I've been more places, physically, to perform, as a representative of the artform, than anyone else in hip hop. And the biggest lesson I learned is that your consistency means nothing. A hip-hop consumer is worse than a crackhead. A crackhead will develop a relationship with a dealer. A hip-hop consumer will buy from whoever is selling, and what you did for him in the past means nothing.

for the whole interview go here (talks about Souljah Boy vs. Ice T & His mansion burn among other things, pretti interesting)

good read!

When's the last time you saw Eminem? And do you think he'll have a problem selling records when he returns? That's the difference.
