50 Cent Speaks His Mind About Oprah Winfrey
Oprah: a Middle-Aged White Woman
According to azcentral.com, recently 50 Cent told Elle magazine: "She started out with black women's views but has been catering to middle-aged white American women for so long that she's become one herself. I think the idea of being publicly noted as a billionaire makes black women interested in seeing her views. But it's even more exciting to the demographic of white American women she's been aiming at to see that she has the exact same views that they have."
His "beef" as they would say in the world of hip-hop, comes from the lack of rappers invited to be on her show, most notably the lack in 50 Cent's appearance who as many rappers has a rags to riches story, having been a drug dealer who hits it big with rap albums, a movie, a video game, and a fashion line.
50 cent is not the only rapper to notice the lack of appearances by rappers and some rappers even feel snubbed by the Talk Show Mogul.
Rapper/actor Ludacris, born Chris Bridges, told GQ magazine, Oprah had been "unfair", last October during an appearance for "Crash" the movie he starred in.
"She edited out a lot of my comments while keeping her own in," he said. "Of course, it's her show, but we were doing a show on racial discrimination, and she gave me a hard time as a rapper, when I came on there as an actor."
Rapper/Actor/Producer/Director, Ice Cube, born O'Shea Jackson, joins Ludacris and 50 Cent after not being invited to the show.
According to nobodysmiling.com Ice Cube told FHM, "I've been involved in three projects pitched to her [ Oprah Winfery ], but I've never been asked to participate...for 'Barbershop,' she had Cedric the Entertainer and Eve on, but I wasn't invited. Maybe she's got a problem with hip-hop. ... She's had damn rapists, child molesters and lying authors on her show. And if I'm not a rags-to-riches story for her, who is?"
Oprah told Ed Lover during an appearance on his radio show, ""I listen to some Hip-Hop. I've been accused of not liking Hip-Hop and that's just not true," she said. "I got a little 50 [Cent] in my iPod. I really do. I like 'In Da Club.' Have you heard the beat to 'In Da Club'? Love that, love Jay-Z, love Kanye, love Mary J. Mary J. is one of my friends."
Oprah also said, "Years and years ago, Quincy Jones and I had this conversation about the evolution of Hip-Hop and what it really means to our culture. Hip-Hop is like jazz and gospel music, evolved from the people, a form of protest, a form of expression so you can't deny that, nor would I try. But I do believe there needs to be awareness of who we are, how we got here and what that means about staying here."
The Oprah Winfery show has had a lack in rappers as guests and the proof is in the hundreds of tapes of the show, but this doesn't necessarily show her lack as a black woman, and according to the Associated Press, not appearing on the show doesn't hurt 50 Cent. Even with his complaints, according to the rapper, an appearance on the show could take from street credibility. "I'm actually better off having friction with her," 50 Cent said.
