French Montana says beef is bad for business when it comes to 50 Cent, comments on the past beef between Lil Wayne and Pusha T.

G-Unit head honcho 50 Cent is no stranger to beef, from a good natured album sales battle with Kanye West to his past, turbulent riffs with former G-Unit members including Game and Young Buck, beef has always seemed to makes it way to the Queens rapper.

While 50 Cent may not be too concerned with his past issues with artists, fellow New York City spitter French Montana recently spoke on Fifty’s rap beef being bad for business and the reason why he believes Rick Ross has become more successful than the rapper.

“I feel like beef hurt him. I feel like it helped Ross unite people,” Montana explained during an interview with Complex.com. “That’s why Maybach Music is one of the biggest labels. It just makes sense…Of course, Ross is on his fifth album. And like I said, he’s only getting bigger. This is going to be Ross’ first platinum album. He never went platinum. So when 50 came up, 50 sold 10 million. Then after his first album he just kept on going down. You think 50 could come out and sell 10 million now?”

The “Stay Schemin” rapper took somewhat of a contrary view when speaking on the past beef between G.O.O.D. Music artist Pusha T and Young Money’s Lil Wayne, stating that the issue between those two artists was “good” for Hip Hop.

“For some people it’s competition for them. It’s good for hip-hop…Yeah. Pusha T and Lil Wayne's [beef] ain’t nothing serious,” said the rapper. “If Wayne feels like [it’s real beef] then you know Baby would have got involved. Things like that, it’s good for hip-hop. If nobody got shot, it ain’t beef.”

Although an exact date has yet to be revealed, French Montana still plans on releasing his debut album Excuse My French before the year is up.

Besides the obvious (the bad music, he had his run, etc)



I think what hurts 50 is that he isn't willing to jump in whatever is hot to stay relevant like Jay & Diddy. You got a network of mainstream artist that work together & try to keep each other relevant, which is part of the business now. You'll see Drake featuring Ross, or Ross featuring Drake, Lil wayne featuring some nikka, etc. 50 has no desire to be in that network

It's bullsh*t. If 50 continued makin music the quality he was earlier on he would still be poppin. Simple.

Beef has nothing to do with it. All the people 50 beefed with aint relevant either.

Every person he dissed had fans that turned into 50 haters. Most of 50 songs are better than the stuff on the radio now.

I mean kayne could drop this song same beat, same lyrics and it would have been a hit.




50 helped Ross. He exposed Ross but because people hate 50 so much they declared this fat bum the king.

If 50 really was smart he would do a song called 5 families featuring jay-z, fat joe, jadakiss, camron and himself. Or make a song 50 jay z and nas...

50 has had big records with Jeremiah and that beat it up, toot it and boot it... All songs he featured on. Which should tell him that working with others will keep you alive. Half of these rappers today would be dead without features.

50 needs a cd like all eyes on me where PAC had every n!gga on the west coast on it. Destroy and rebuild my n!gga.

SINY!!
it was a combo of bad music and beef

speaking of How To Rob, how many placements did D. Dot get after that? 2? that kind of killed his career, that and his ghost producer (Kanye) bounced on him :takedat:

good points, had to correct that last part though

He has a point but this is a popular opinion and he has his own issues to worry about

Good point...Even Andre is on Drake, Wayne and Ross albums and he's a recluse that doesn't hang with any rappers... 50 has been stranded on an island for years now and it's obviously hurt his exposure to the new generation..

nah.. a large part of 50s appeal at the time was his Beef with Murder Inc who were running shyt.... he was the underdog and everyone was rooting for him...

Dude just took that formula and basically beefed with basically everyone that wasnt signed to shady/aftermath.... shyt got predictable

fixed.

The moment 50 cent "fell off" was when the beef with Young Buck started. He had supporters before then but once the Young Buck Beef happened people didn't understand the situation and they thought is was a publicity stunt and the stopped fukking with him.

People were saying the Game beef was a publicity stunt too but the Game/Young Buck Beefs were legit issues.

I still fukk with 50 cause I like game spitters. As long as he's spittin game in his songs then Imma ride with him.
