50 Cent to start reading Joystiq

by Ben Gilbert on Feb 24th 2009 4:50PM

Among the variety of topics brought up during 50 Cent's conference call earlier this afternoon, we somehow cajoled the perpetually beefing rapper (that's an industry term, obviously) into giving our fledgling little site a shot. After asking Fiddy (we can call him that -- we're boyz) about his responsibility to his fans regarding the amount of vulgar language employed in his latest game, 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand, the rapper addressed us personally.

Speaking directly to me, he said, "You're from Joystiq.com, right?" To which we responded, "Yup, Ben from Joystiq.com." Now pay really close attention to this next part, 'cause this is where it gets good.

"Ben, I'm gonna watch what you write and I'm gonna find yo ass!"

Oh my! Come for the interview transcription (which is coming up later today) and stay for your game's review!

This is the best thing I've read all day. Watch yourself Ben. If 50 is as deadly as his game suggests then you're in for some trouble.

Actually, I think he is only in trouble if his skull is encrusted in diamonds. You know Fiddy takes that for realz.....

If he actually reads joystiq on a daily basis "I will buy his game".

Me too. This is the challenge 50 - you start hanging out with us and we will support your gaming venture.

The extra twenty or so game sales he'll get from us will make it all worth it!

The seven million he'll get from the rest of the world are great and all, but they got no class, you feel me?

hahahahhaahhaahahahahahahahaha aaaaahahahahha

gold

be careful ben

he wants yo ass ;)

better buy some flowers and candy?

The only way this could get better is if he made a Joystiq podcast theme song...

I hate you, Fiddy, and I think you suck. I bet you have a small penis and erectile dysfunction.

Tupac > 50 Cent > samfish

Dammit Sam, now your perky little bubble but is all abstract, wot the eff?!

-I was dubbed a pervert for clicking a certain link("synopsis"), figured i would roll with it.

Silly John, those aren't Less Than signs.

A++ trolling there

These here, were the last words of Samfish before G-Unit broke into his house and capped his ass.

Well to be fair Killington, it will only be because they heard there was a diamond encrusted skull in his house.

If it isn't archeologists breaking into my house, it's rappers. So annoying!

I'm sure he'll be impressed with the site, what with that new tentacle porn promotion and everything... that's right Left 4 Head features tentacle porn

50 paid off Joystiq for a good review

Fiddy-Gate?

dont worry ben, im pound for pound tougher than fiddy, i got yo back

Ah, so that's why you guys gave his game such a good review.

Great Scott!!!!!

Better be careful guys, or he could BUY your shit.

well now... isn't this a interesting..

I think this is the funniest thing I've read today at least until the interview transcription hits the net.

so, we have yet another disgruntled "LOOK AT MEEEE!!! I'M HARDCORE" get his knickers in a twist 'cause someone doesn't like what they do. Real class there "FIddy", real class...

So like if I was to post that 'fiddy' was a "steroid taking douche bag" in the comments section here, would that mean that I need to watch my back because he will find me seeing as he is now watching the site? Cool. Maybe I can get an autograph.

He's going to find you a donkey?

damn Ben. well if you pay attention to the rap game at all, you should probably start looking for a new career lol. just ask Ja Rule, Fat Joe, Cam'Ron, Young Buck, DJ Khaled, etc., he will end you.

big ups to Fif if he actually reads this site too. i wasn't feeling the last album (and it had to be the one with my name on it) but all the others are classics, im hoping Before I Self Destruct brings back that heat. March 24th.

He must have another album coming out...or the game(durr), new 50 beefs with new 50 releases :-p

Hahaha.. oh man that's great!

Can't wait for the full transcript!

awesome

Yo wazzup Fiddy?! I know yo readin dis shit, and i wanna lets ya know I'm hittin yo motha fuckin OG game up this weekend, that shit is hot man, especially if you play it stoned with yo gangstas. Peace fiddy!

If Fiddy was a fanboy, what kind of flaming fanboy would Fiddy be?

Gotta be a PSTRIPLE fanboy. He seems like the type.

Samfish

You might be right because the Wii is for adolescents and the 360 is for teenagers. 50 is neither of those things so the PS3 sounds right.

:p

And fity is a douchebag, so he meets 2 qualifiers of PSfanboy then

Don't worry--he can't spell, "joystiq". The poor bastards at joystick.com, joystik.com, and joystic.com are probably screwed, though.

If my name was Buck, would that make me twice the man that 50 Cent is?

Would you be Old Buck.. since Young Buck is already taken?

Hay, 30p! YOU FUCKING SUCK!

Win.

He should of started reading joystiq before he started making da games.

I wonder what other diamond encrusted objects are in possession of Mr. 50.

Shoes? Sunglasses? Kitty-Litter Egloo (for Mittens and Persivus)?

Oh! And let us not forget the diamond-encrusted humidifier to battle the sniffles.

I never knew 50 was a homosexual... :O This explains a lot.

like what?

rar, reply to Maverick Saturn

I was hoping you would post this, after Tina over at 1Up twittered "Ben from joystiq pissed 50 off. lol"

But at least you'll have evidence and witnesses for the upcoming trial when you claim self defence. Just remember, he's like a character in Far Cry 2... it's going to take more than bullets.

Any news on the Soulja boy game?

Nope, hes putting a notice up on his site to find anyone with 360 programming skills, haha

Um, Fiddy does conference calls? How Gangsta is dat?

Is this why you guys gave a positive review to his game? So you can pimp out that he is a reader?

nice to know yall remain impartial.

Well, the review came *before* the conference call, so...
