50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather talk about Fake Rappers

50 Cent and undefeated boxing champion Floyd Mayweather, Jr. recently analyzed the current state of hip-hop and why consumers have been lied to by artists.

50 believes hip-hop, as of late, has taken a turn for the worse. I completely agree !!

“It’ll just make room for you to impact when the hardcore comes back,” 50 assessed. “No one told the world to enjoy that softer music temporarily. I think a big portion of why people didn’t want to hear the aggressive content is because the people conveying them were lying.”

Mayweather, who has announced a joint music project with 50, believes some artists undergo image-changing moves to gain fame.

“You got rappers in today’s time, they get a small advance from their record label, get a bunch of tattoos, a few piercings on their face, go to jail for 10 or 20 days, then they killers,” Mayweather weighed in. “Next time out, they rock stars. I think rap is crazy, but it’s still very creative.”

Hip Hop Boxing News: Manny Pacquiao wins a Unanimous Decision over Clottey

Fighting on the star, Manny Pacquiao showed once again why he is the star.

With most in the crowd of 50,994, the biggest fight crowd in the U.S. in 17 years, cheering him on at Cowboys Stadium, Pacquiao dominated a strangely passive Joshua Clottey from the opening bell Saturday night to retain his welterweight title.

One ringside judge gave Pacquiao every round; the two others gave him all but one.

Clottey kept his gloves up high in front of his face and chose to engage Pacquiao only in spurts. The strategy worked to keep him upright, but he was never competitive in the biggest fight of his career.

“He’s a very tough opponent,” Pacquiao said. “He was looking for a big shot.”

Pacquiao was supposed to have been fighting Floyd Mayweather Jr. instead of Clottey, but the megafight fell apart over a dispute over blood testing. Pacquiao took out any frustrations by beating up Clottey on the biggest stage of his career.

“I want that fight, the world wants that fight, but it’s up to him,” Pacquiao said.

Pacquiao threw three times as many punches as Clottey, an average of 100 a round, and landed as many power shots as Clottey threw. Final punch stats showed Pacquiao landing 246 of 1,231 punches to 108 of 399 for Clottey.

“Everything’s working now,” trainer Freddie Roach told Pacquiao after the third round. “It’s easy.”
