http://www.hardknock.tv Hip hop superstar 50 Cent sits down with Nick Huff Barili as part of SXSW’s interview series. This hour long interview has been posted in 5 separate parts. In part 5 of the interview 50 Cent talks about conscious capitalism, Africa, leaving a legacy, the energy in the Bay Area, working with new artists, his name and much more.

“According to World Bank numbers, 10 percent of business would alleviate all [the strain] of poverty,” 50 Cent revealed. “The only place you would find that much money is in business itself. So, I decided to promote conscious capitalism at that point and I said I want my ventures moving forward to have automatic—it’s like creating a business that you have a partner that doesn’t exist, but that partner is an actual cause. It’s against hunger, hunger’s not a third-world issue. It’s a world issue. Within America you have one in six American’s going hungry. You got kids out there that’s surviving based on school lunch.”

“I work with artists on a song by song basis. Because I’m in a position where I’m not having a problem financially I can decide to do it just based on the art and the music,” he explained. “So, you’ll see me do and it’ll be strange. I’ll work with an artist on their first song. Like ‘Toot It And Boot It’ with YG, or ‘Buzzin’ with Mann, or I did ‘Down On Me’ with Jeremih. Those records were for free. They didn’t have it in the budget to pay what I would charge.”

  1. corporatism is not capitalism. The merging of state and corporate power causes economic fascism and so democracy doesn't exist. This is why we have imperialism and so poverty will not end until we rid ourselves of this crony system.

  2. 50 is the man! I love when he's talking about business he literally means business. Then when he gets to talking about hip-hop his inner G comes out lol. "Dats ma nigga, I fux wit him!" hahaha . 50 is the true definition of starting from the bottom and rising to the top. Respect

  3. 50 Cent is one of the smartest artists. I'm glad. I found his music at a young age because ever since Power Of the Dollar, I knew how to deal with problems in different ways. 50 is a teacher. One of the best teachers. An open minded guy

  4. Key words "Based on a concept"…. if you want to in act change don't involve globalist organizations like "The World Food Program". With half of the WFP's budget poverty can be irradiated. Think about it
