Fitty Cent, as we learned from his Tour Rider demands, has a hard side (which actress/stalker Vivika Fox got to know in the Biblical sense) and a soft side ("soft toilet paper" and "creamy peanut butter," for the tour) -- only, his hard side is harder than most people's and his soft side, is well ... First on to the hard side: Namely, Fitty's much talked about delayed mixtape, of which (The Corsair sips a chilled glass of Ugandan Waragi), according to contactmusic:
"Rapper 50 CENT is adding names to his hit list on a new mixtape, while firing off at old foe JA RULE and JADAKISS in a new magazine article.
"Dressed up like a gangster and aiming a crossbow on the cover of hip-hop mag XXL's March (05) issue, the IN DA CLUB hitmaker is hitting out at his rap adversaries again.
"In the accompanying article, he insists he's simply responding to criticism he has had in other interviews.Tough-talking 50 says, "When they are in their articles, they say `F**k 50' off the record. But they won't say it to my face...
"The difference between them and me is I don't have a problem saying f**k them in front of them."And he adds a new foe to his list by poking fun at Jadakiss following comments the RUFF RYDERS rapper made about him.
"He adds, 'You haven't put out a record with your voice on the chorus? He's a great rapper, but he's not a great songwriter. I got artists under me that are better than him.'
"But he wraps up his XXL interview by offering rap rival Ja Rule a olive branch in their lengthy war of words: 'I might sign Ja Rule when he's done at Murder Inc. After I destroy him, I'll rebuild him.' Meanwhile, on new mixtape G-UNIT RADIO PART 10: 2050 (BEFORE THE MASSACRE) 50 takes aim at newlyweds NAS and KELIS, and FAT JOE."
The hard side also requires 100 body guards to protect him at all times. According to Contactmusic:
"Rapper 50 CENT is so terrified of being murdered by rivals - he's hired 100 bodyguards to protect him at all times.
"The IN DA CLUB rapper, real name CURTIS JACKSON, allegedly wears a bulletproof vest in bed and refuses to leave his Los Angeles or New York homes unless he's accompanied by his highly-paid entourage, according to British newspaper the DAILY STAR.
"Cent took the precautions because he fears a repeat of the notorious incident five years ago (00) when a gunman shot him nine times.
"He explains, 'Because I'm from the bottom, I've got to take precautions.'"
And, 50 exercises his skills "from the bottom," by letting his inner interior decorator hang loose, as those intrepid PageSixxies report:
"50 CENT scooped up Mike Tyson's Farmington, Conn., mansion last year for a meager $4 million ? it had been on the block for $24 million before Tyson had to sell it quick to settle debts ? but he's about to spend $5 million more to renovate the palatial pad. '[Tyson] decorated it ridiculously,' our source says. 'In every room ? the 18 bedrooms, 38 bathrooms, the 3,500 square-foot disco and the 1,500-square-foot gym ? were gold plaques that read: Team Tyson."
Ghetto! But, wow, when a grown man named "50 Cent" issues aesthetic opprobrium, it's bad:
"'50 has to get rid of all that. Everything else is garish.' Not that 50 Cent necessarily minds garish, he just wants his own kind of garish. We're told the rapper is in talks with Louis Vuitton to 'decorate' several rooms of the spread with the LV signature logo. 'Louis Vuitton wants some money, but 50 is saying they'll get publicity for it, so they are discussing that now.'"
So, we're guessing 50 Cent never found time for that Art History course? We also now have definitive proof that he didn't filch the office copy of Architectural Digest from his record label. Charmed, we're sure.
