Complex: Getting back to Jay-Z, who ended up #1 on the list. Much has been made of his recent comment saying “no one is afraid of 50 Cent.” Regardless, it seems like the general public agrees that Kanye wouldn’t have pulled that stunt if you were on stage instead of Taylor Swift…

50 Cent: He wouldn’t. You can’t convince the public, you can’t convince Kanye to say he would’ve did that. If I was there and he did that to me we would have had an altercation. Right there. It’s clear. He [Kanye] would have avoided that, just being intelligent. The interviewer who asked [Jay-Z] about the Kanye situation made him feel like a punk. His presentation is really simple and you can’t have both. You can’t be gangster Jay from Marcy and be the good guy Jay-Z on Oprah. You just can’t. They don’t let you in. That’s Mr. Knowles, he just got that pass. There ain’t any tickets to an inauguration ball with n*ggas. If you’re from the hood, you have that element or that aura around you, there’s no tickets for you. It’s “safe” people there. This is why those things are happening. This is why he has to convince the person that he’s talking to he’s not afraid of anyone.

50 is a smart dude i cant be mad at him and u ppl stop riddin jay d*** . i love jay but how many god albumbs jjay really put out ? be really now the jay we hearin today is the best jay in a long time. and when 50 wants 2 go hard he goes hard and make great music and i love them both, they are 2 of the best in the game and both built an empire. jay do be talkin from both sides one time he is a gangsta next time the opposite. so those who hattin 50 stop reading twitter and go face him face to face lets see gets scared, i know it will not be 50.

- no one said he wasnt smart. hes just dumb for being an asshole, snitch, gay-basher(tho he fruity his damn self) PUNK motherf*cker. YOU NEED TO DO YOUR RESEARCH. he f*ckin hanged around cats in the NYC to get his street cred. MASTER P paid for his tour in the south, yet he dissed P. he snitched to the feds about ill gotten ways that irv gotti made murder inc( now the inc), he started a beef with ja rule that was weak, potraying ja rule as gay, he started a beef with the game (although the game was a bit of a dick rider) , he released a tape with young buck crying after 50 voided his contract because young buck said he wanted to squash his beef with the game.... DO I NEED TO GO ON. HE PIKED A FIGHT WITH KANYE WEST FOR HEAVENS SAKES. KANYE IS MORE GIRLIER THAN RIHANNA. and you call ppl like him a hero? i hear what u sayin but i dont feel you. ANY MONKEY FACE DUDE LIKE 50 can talk like he tough, but real gangsters never EVER have to mention theyre gangsters. REMEMBER THAT sh*t. YOU AINT GONNA CONVINCE ME A HONDA ACCORD IS A CADILLAC, NO MATTER WHAT U SAY. CAUSE YOU CAN SEE THRU IT IF U JUST PAY ATTENTION

- the only sucker is you. you believe in 50 cent. youre trash just like him. were talkin bout the same guy that claims hes an underdog, yet bullies other artists like hes a f*ckin C/O. BUT HE TALKIN BOUT RIC ROSS. he mad cause Jay Z is THAT...MUCH...BETTER. see, you live your life trying to quote the lyrics so u can feel tough. and you try to use the n word like toilet paper. but i guess it would make sense coming from an ass, full of sh*t, and open n stinking like you. read a book, take the n word out your mouth you fake wannabe thug b*tch, stfu n go eat a burrito. YOURE A DISGRACE TO THE HUMAN RACE. YOURE SMEGMA ON AN ELEPHANTS FORESKIN INFECTED WITH AIDS. NOW GO f*ck YOURSELF.

So Jay is now not good because he's on Oprah? Stop it. The man is growing leaps and bounds and the problem is the ole crab in the bucket syndrome, see a black man going up ya wanna pull him down back into the bucket with the rest of the crabs. I see what the man is doing and to me it's Gangsta on whole other level. Jay plays Chess not Checkers. 50, 50, 50.....You need to stop. This is grown man Business, not junior rapper biz. Get with the man and stop perpetuating the Crabs in a bucket syndrome.

Poor thang! Help your young boy from despair:

"It’s Crunch Time!”, is a new children’s book by Marie Brewer (www.helenbrewer.com for the

link to book) is my book of muscle for boys (ages 9-12) to point them in the direction of HOPE!...This is an interactive book where they can write about their feelings. It discusses acceptable behavior, honesty, good self-image, respect for females and animals, appreciation for teachers/school, choosing good friends. The book also talks about resisting gangs, guns, drugs, violence, alcohol and bad influences. Let's attack the behavior, not the boy. "It's Crunch Time!" , by Marie Brewer, www.bbotw.com. Be a part of the village to help our boys envision their true God-given purpose!

We can turn this thing around! SEE! THINK ! ACT!

Heaven gives us hope! Marie Brewer
