50 Cent Calls Puff Daddy’s “Big Homie” Single Garbage
SMS Audio
Though 50’s former label Interscope Records might have seen it as a conflict of interest, 50 had no problem going into the audio business much like his mentor Dr. Dre with SMS Audio. Founded in 2011, “Studio Master Sound” not only helped 50 expand his venture growth, it also pocketed him $177K in nine minutes according to The Hollywood Reporter.
More fun facts: All Disney products are manufactured by SMS Audio, as well as Star Wars audio products. Striving for perfection.50 Cent and Puff Daddy always had a tumultuous relationship. Still, the two have had a mutual respect for each other’s craft. During his interview with Baltimore’s Q 92.3 Jams, 50 applauded Puff for remaining relevant, but then, called his single, “Big Homie” garbage.
“If the guy doesn’t have significant savvy with the actual business or with the actual culture he’ll be out of here,” said 50 Cent when asked about artist expiration dates. “You’ll see Jay around as long as he’s been around. What he’s on like 11 albums? Puff’s still out there. He don’t even need a record. Cause he don’t got one. Like you know Puffy ain’t got no music that you wanna hear. That ‘Big Homie’ shit is garbage. I’mma keep it all the way real with you. Because the guy says ‘Don’t worry about if I write my rhymes, I write checks.’ And then sings to you.”
