"This is what music is about."

Sometimes you just have to let the moment wash over you. That's what Young Zee did yesterday (Jan. 13), when he finally got that Instagram response from 50 Cent. The Outsidaz star's original comment may have been lost to the ether, but right around the turn of the new year, Zee posted a screenshot, wherein Fif responds to the rapper with a simple "oh yeah." Innocuous, sure, but it sent Newark's Zee into a tizzy; yesterday's video-form selfie catches the rapper in tears of joy, unable to fathom his good fortune.

In recent years, Young Zee has been in the news for sparring with his old rhyming partner Eminem, and for claiming that he wrote some of Pras' lyrics on The Fugees' The Score, on which he had a guest verse.
