Hey 50, just a couple questions
1. From the recent G-Unit reunion are there any chances of The Game being involved? Also what was it like to preform with everyone again?
2. Hows the relationship with Em, any new projects you guys are working on?
3. You've always been very business minded in your career is there any advice you would give someone who wants to start their own brand or company?
1. not a chance. feels good to be back on stage with them again. couple of them gotta get in shape again they get tired lol
2. I am gonna go to his show see him soon in london
3.because of the internet do it independently. you have access to things we didnt. i had to hustle bootlegers. chief keef is in his grandma living room doing it

Biggest regret of your career? How long are you planning to make music?
ill prolly make music longer than im suppose to. like a fighter who doesnt know when to retire lol i just love doing it

Big fan, just bought Animal Ambition and what I've heard so far is fire. What made you decide to turn this from a pre-album mixtape into a full album?
a mixtape would have previously released music. Animal ambition was all original if you put music out and call it a mixtape its not under the same scrutiny. i felt strong enough about it. it's quality.
