The press recently interviewed 50 Cent, one of 2003’s promising new star on how it was like working with Eminem.

“I’m starting to figure it out. I think that what happened to Eminem happened so fast that he hasn’t even really realized how big he is,” 50 Cent said.

“He’s still down to earth and humble, despite the fact that he can rap circles around the game. He’s so talented sometimes it can become annoying. Plus he can’t really toot his own horn, it makes people uneasy, but I can. Essentially, the boy is No 1.”

“We’re alike in a lot of ways, he speaks a lot from his life experience, otherwise you wouldn’t know who Kim was. I do the same, it’s just a little more gunplay, more life-threatening situations.”

50 Cent’s hot number ‘In Da Club’ is currently burning up the Billboard charts.
