50 Cent über "Yeezus": "It doesn't feel like Hiphop to me"

50 Cent kann mit Kanye Wests Album Yeezus absolut nichts anfangen, wie er in einem Interview mit MTV UK preis gibt:

"He’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."

Das Album sei für ihn kein Hiphop:

"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 Hiphop 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."

Bereits vergangenes Jahr drückte Hopsin seinen Unmut aus:

"That album was wack. It was—and I tell everybody this, being creative is like a clock. So, a clock only has 12 notches. He went all the way around like he was at the one then went all the way to 12. And then you go so far to where you just end up back at one again…The album sounded like he tried to get so creative where he maxed out and went to back zero. To where it just sounded like something a local producer would have made in my neighborhood. Or from my high school or something."

Wie das der egozentrische und von sich selbst so überzeugte Kanye wohl aufnimmt? ;-)
