50 Cent has blamed what he sees as a decline in intelligence in Hip Hop on why he’s retreated from rap over the last decade.
In a clip from his recent interview with Earn Your Leisure at Invest Fest that began making the rounds on Tuesday (October 1), the G-Unit boss said he’d need to dumb down his lyrics (word to Lupe Fiasco) in order to fit into the current rap landscape.
“If you listen to the music that’s out right now, I have to tap into my stupid. I have to tap into the stupid side of me to write the right thing when it comes time to write the music,” he said.
