50 Cent has revealed that he is unsure about Kanye West’s 2013 album Yeezus.
In an interview with MTV, the rapper explained that he preferred West’s older work to his more recent “creative” endeavours.
50 Cent said: “He’s obviously a talent within our culture and is one of the driving forces of it, but some of that s**t is weird to me.”
On Yeezus, he added: “That last record, to be honest, I’m not playing it right now. I still play ‘Flashing Lights’, ‘Gold Digger’ and that whole [The College Dropout] project. But some of the new stuff is so creative and feels like he’s trying to create a whole new sound.
“It sounds scrambled… radio is going to play dance music, EDM – you got a lot of stuff happening in music culture that’s influencing a lot of R&B music to that tempo.
“It doesn’t feel like hip-hop to me, it feels like a fusion of something else, like a weird combination of dance music sounds and stuff.”
He went on to reference Canadian rapper Drake, explaining: “I don’t have a favourite artist, I have a favourite moment from artists. Like with Drake, there’s songs he came out with and the timing was perfect for the record.”
50 Cent’s new album Animal Ambition is set for a UK release on June 2, and a day later in the US.
