Musically, 50 Cent is at a crossroads.

He’s fending off his the competition at every turn as a young crop of artist rises in Hip-Hop. Still, Curtis Jackson isn’t too concerned. As he points out, “I been on the Forbes list 10 years straight – consecutively.” The mogul looks at the rap game like the corner and his options for making money are increasingly limited. He’s decided to release his 5th and final obligation to Interscope whether the label supports it or not.

Money isn’t every thing and 50 gives the status of his relationship to the rest of G-Unit, Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo. It may be time for them to fly on their own, he asserts. But, when asked about estranged member Young Buck, who has had a myriad of personal and business problems, the General goes even colder. [Watch Young Buck "review" 50 Cent's "Lost Tape" ] “Where I’m from we got a code of conduct we follow: Don’t bite the hand that feeds you,” 50 Cent says. “N***as is lucky you don’t just kill ‘em. N***as shot me for $5,000.”

Here is Part 2 of the exclusive interview with 50 Cent, where he talks about his revenue, the status of G-Unit, and why the boot will not soon come off Young Buck’s neck.

    [...] Fif explained that from a business perspective he has little reason to vend new albums as he’s making enough money from other revenue to keep himself on Forbes magazine’s list of wealthiest rappers. “I been on the Forbes list 10 years straight – consecutively. When I came on the Forbes [list] this year, I’m like, ‘Would you look at that? I’m still there.’ I’ve been on a motherfuckin’ lunch break – I’ve been on vacation and I’m still there. Now I’m telling you I’m hustling in a different way and it’s paying off. If you look at it, I ain’t put an album out in three years, and I’m still in the list? Okay, let’s see the other guys do that,” Fiddy told AllHipHop. [...]
