Not great but this was 100 times better than his TRL appearance. Remember that one pushing The Re-Up and 50 was there? 50 practically had to do the whole interview for Em.
I always wondered what happened between Eminem and 50 cent. They used to be hella tight, like 03-06, then their relationship just deteriorated. I mean, 50 thinks the fucking world of Eminem, that much has always been obvious and it genuinely seemed like he was looking out for Em.
It just makes me think that 50 was one of the "yes men" that Em was around, and I'm sure 50 had plenty of connections to pills and what not, not that eminem wouldn't have. But I can see 50 pushing em to try and make more music and do more tours, it's all about the money (or more so about the money) for 50 than eminem. Especially as 50 didn't have his Vitimin water deal and around the time of Curtis (and that horrible Peep Show verse) 50s buzz was gone. No rapper in their right mind would think that Peep Show verse was good. If I was making an independant album and Eminem was like "here want this verse?" I'd say "get the fuck off those pills you clown" but I bet 50 didn't care, he'd rather the shitty Em feature to try to push sales and "beat" Kanye. Even if Curtis outsold Graduation it still wouldn't have got the Grammy. And thank fuck neither did Encore.
