(GEMS RADIO)—50 Cent is talking up differences between the two most controversial rappers of our time. He discussed the matter with journalist Brian J. Roberts.

50 says there’s racial undertones to the rappers’ lyrics especially when they rap about their mothers.

“I’ll pick two Hip Hop artists that have been profound and really prolific artists within our culture that were very similar but tapped into different responses,” he said. “So Eminem’s mom, the drug usage was part of it and he would do: ‘Sorry, momma / I never meant to hurt you / I never meant to make you cry / But tonight, I’m cleaning out my closet.’

“And then 2Pac’s mom also has some drug usage involved in her experience, and he said: ‘Even though you was a crack fiend, momma / You always was a Black Queen, mama.’”

50 Cent says that there are anger in the lyrics of both rappers. On Eminem’s side he’s trying to make things seem right again. In “Dear Mama” Pac rhymes words that express understanding to where his mother came from.
