It would be awesome if Fifty and Eminem do another song together

[JazSimone]

Awww that's so cute. He DEFINITELY was the next big thing! Remember the 50 cent era? He was on every station blowing up like top three spots with a new song every few months... Em was definitely being literal when he said that lol.

[AA-qbni]

I love the way he respects and loves Em.

[coltsfan]

He literally looks the same in every thumbnail lmao

[millyzett]

a black guy saying a white guy is the biggest artist in hip hop is legendary!

[rederyboy]

50 Cent & Em on a track together has never been a disappointment.. wish they woulda done a collab album back then.

[hawkyhawk]

All the thumbnails have the same look lol

[Ijuba]

"I thought you died" 😂👍 the third comment

[jtcavicola]

Eminem should get 50 on his upcoming album. Tired of hearing Rihanna & Skylar Grey on every track.

[paulavish]

50cent has some crazy spontaneity in his spits that are actually humorous. And Eminem noticed that after noticing only in his own ciphers.

Two years ago they were gna drop a track together called champions.... Still waiting lol

[johanzo]

50 underrated all time bruh he had the club bangers

[petruspinotti]

[matthewmann]

50 was a big fan of Em even before being signed the same way Em was of Dre before being signed

[antoniolopezbanderas]

I'd like to know why CC subtitles are always behind time, and how I could sync them properly. Thnx.

[djm.]

[guywald]

"You would never die, except on the attempt of getting rich."
How could you miss that, Jimmy? The opportunity was there.

[hazard]

Eminem is the greatest rapper of all time.

[mattorton]
