Joe La Puma started a new blog where we can see some old interviews from 50 Cent by Complex. Make sure you spread the word and show some support! Read Some excerpts below...

50 Cent Talks Dr. Dre, Jay-Z & Before I Self Destruct

Complex: People said that Blueprint 3 came off very braggadocious, just like you alluded to—Jay bragging about the stuff he has.

50: But that’s a career trait. That’s a style. The choice that he’s made as an artist. He’s done that his entire career. He felt he could shift trends with the things he’s actually saying. I mean, it’s cool, it’s an option to write that when you’re that successful. I just feel like writing imperfection instead of creating a superhero is interesting. I’ll write the things they’re not willing to say because they think it affects their “cool factor” to the point where they feel like it puts them in the box. They’re limited to what they can say and do. I don’t give a f***. I can say and do what I want. So I write those defective characters.

Complex: So you had the big “50 Fest” show in New York recently, where you reunited with a lot of artists. Seems like that was a big step for you. Is that part of the maturation process?

50 Cent: Well, for me the New York show was an opportunity. It was actually branched revenue for Thisis50.com. And at the same time, an opportunity for me to work with artists and have them seen in the same light. There’s no middle ground in hip-hop. It’s either you’re rocking arenas or you’re getting top dollar, getting money out a nightclub. You can’t really get more than that $75,000 threshold, that’s really it in the nightclub circuit.

50 Cent Talks Old Rick Ross Photos & Lil Wayne

Complex: So Blood In The Sand is a third person shooter with a bunch of ammunition. What’s your favorite gun to use in the game?

50 Cent: I like the 9mm action on it, the action pistol, the handgun. It’s not as dramatic, like, you got a rocket launcher and a big machine gun, but I like to use the handgun.

Complex: Gaming reviews were really impressed by the helicopter aspects of the game, did you get to test that at all?

50 Cent: Yup, and that actually came from me liking Outrun as a game. There’s that point where you’re actually flying and running, because of the environment it came out the way it did. I threw out the idea and allowed the guys that actually do that to do it, to make the game come out as cool as possible and it came out amazing. Better than my initial idea, but of course I’m going to take credit for it.

Complex: There’s a part of the game where you recruit girls at a strip club and send them to distract enemies. That sounds a little bit like Pimpin’ Curly to us…

50 Cent: [Laughs] Yeah, that was early, that was two years ago. That concept has been around for ages, sending women to distract men. They make for a great distraction, especially attractive women, right?

Complex: Who would you say is the best shooter in the game besides you? Banks, Yayo, or Whoo Kid?

50 Cent: Well, I think they’re fairly good, but I like to play as myself. Yayo doesn’t play with me, he takes me off and puts him as the actual character. It’s cool, when you’re the actual character in it, it kind of makes you have a superhero’s vibe, it’s like being in an action film where you’re Hancock.

50 Cent Talks Kanye Sales Battle & MTV’s Hottest MC List

Complex: TV named Lil’ Wayne’s the hottest MC right now, what are your thoughts on that?

50 Cent: MTV can suck my d***. It doesn’t matter. I could say whatever I want. If I want to be an a******, idiot, I could just say whatever I want. You know what I mean, like, I’m just doing this as an example, because I don’t really mean literally MTV could—I could say it, like MTV could say that that’s their favorite artist because that’s one person’s opinion. Whoever they said, “Can you go out and set up this list for us.” That’s their opinion who they put in. They put Game number three when I wrote the three singles that created him. What does that mean? That I’m number 3? Because you’re not into me this week, I get a chance to sit in the number eight spot, but the project that I created is number three.

Complex: The Cam’ron situation, was that the easiest rap “feud” you’ve ever had to deal with?

50 Cent: That wasn’t really a rap feud, the boy got punched in the face and we ain’t hear nothing from him since. You know what I mean, that’s like—he jumped out the window, said things to make his crew—and I kept that away from the entire Dipset. I consciously kept it 50 Cent/Cam’ron because I thought he was an idiot for coming out there. I could have made it 50 Cent vs. Dipset, and then when he got punched in the head and he didn’t want talk anymore, they would all look like they got played. But it’s not like that, it’s just the boy Cam’ron puts himself into positions that he can’t actually handle being in.
