Summer Jam 2014 artist 50 Cent is making his media rounds to prepare for his upcoming album’s release in June. Now, he’s in the UK speaking on “Animal Ambition.” While there, MTV UK interviewers asked his opinion on none other than “Yeezus.” Check out his response after the jump.
50 went on to say:
[Kanye’s] obviously a talent within our culture and is one of the driving forces of it, but some of that shit is weird to me. That last record, to be honest, I’m not playing it right now. I still play ‘Flashing Lights,’ ‘Gold Digger’ and that whole (College Dropout) project. But some of the new stuff is so creative and feels like he’s trying to create a whole new sound.
MR. Jackson maintained his respect for Kanye as an artist and even spoke on how he has no particular favorite artist, but a favorite moment from each artist.
“It sounds scrambled… radio is going to play dance music, EDM – you got a lot of stuff happening in music culture that’s influencing a lot of R&B music to that tempo. It doesn’t feel like Hip-Hop to me, it feels like a fusion of something else, like a weird combination of dance music sounds and stuff. It’s just him being an artist, you don’t have to agree with everything an artist does. Like, I don’t have a favourite artist, I have a favourite moment from artists. Like with Drake, there’s songs he came out with and the timing was perfect for the record.”
