AllHipHop.com: Speaking of records and controversy, did any of the old timers mentioned on “Ghetto Qu’ran (Forgive Me) ever step to you? You were still living in Queens at the time; did you ever feel tension on the streets after you released that joint?
50 Cent:
None. Everybody who heard the [still unreleased] record, appreciated it. Thats a big misconception. People try to figure out a reason, like thats the police trying to figure out a reason saying its because of the song [that Jam Master Jay was killed], like get the f**k out here. Nas made a record ["Get Down"] after [mine] that salutes some of the same n***as, but n***as call me a snitch for doing it. Theres a difference. They’re upset because it hurts them to watch me to win. People get upset; they will feel discomfort to having [to] watch me do good.
