“When 50's verse came on, when it was his time to rock, he got the mic in his hand, but then Scar 4 Life comes out of nowhere and starts doin his Shyte…I knew he felt a certain kind of way cause he was down with us, but he wasn't official, he was down with us on the strength of Jay, so he just walked off the stage.”

Back in the days before Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson was the financially inclined, beef driven individual that stands today, he was a rapper from Southside Jamaica Queens trying to find his own way into the music industry.

As Fredro Starr of the group Onyx pulls another page form his own Tales of the Industry, he speaks on the past beef between 50 Cent and Onyx and how exactly it all started.

At the time both were under Jam Master Jay's label and both entities had the common ground of Southside so it would only make sense that they would have similarities in dealing with particular struggles while coming up.

While prepping the third album Shut Em Down, Jam Master Jay was actually the person who spoke up for Fif and told Onyx they should look into working with him, which culminated into the track “React”.

Jealousy amongst the group, however, would cause a member of Onyx to pull a move on 50 during a performance which resulted in retaliation on the infamous track “How to Rob”.

Be on the lookout for Pt. 2

Stepping away from jerseys and white tee's to replace them with the corporate suit and tie, the man known as Shawn Carter has urged others to step their game up and take a more grown approach. For the rapper, this means doing certain things that people would never expect from the Brooklyn MC.

According to Eurweb.com, the rapper has stated that he might adapt a hobby of singer Chris Martin, from Coldplay, and start doing yoga. The relationship between the two first began to emerge with Kingdom Come as Jay made his return to the microphone. Since then the two have mixed their sounds on numerous occasions.

"Chris hasn't tried to get me to do yoga yet but I am close to doing it. I'm envious of what he can do on stage. Watching him is amazing, he can really move. I want to be able to move like that, get my leg behind my ear, things like that."

Already known for his ever growing experimental side in an attempt to evolve his sound, Jigga has stated an urge to work with more artists outside of the Hip-Hop genre. U2 frontman, Bono, has caught the attention of Hov as he stated his admiration for the singer's longevity and success in the music world. Jack White, of the White Stripes, has also caught the rapper's eye and has been placed on his radar.

The leader of Roc Nation recently stepped in to defend his baby brother Kanye West. Stating that the VMA incident wasn't as serious as it's become, he even decided to step to rapper 50 Cent who stated that he would have blacked Ye's eye had he came up and interrupted his acceptance speech. Hov assured 50 that had it been him, the same issue could have arisen and affirmed the fact that no one is afraid of him.

Beef between the two first started with 50's song “How to Rob” which Jay easily responded to by saying “I'm all about my dollars, who the Fawk is 50 Cent.” Only time will tell if there will be a round 2 between the giants and maybe Jay will be the one to slay the dragon.
