    During the press run for his new album, Hip Hop 50 EP Vol. 1, DJ Premier stopped by Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club to talk about the project and, in the process, shared a story about a song he had with 50 Cent right before he became a megastar.

    According to Preemo, he was tapped by Fat Joe to work on a Terror Squad compilation album in the early 2000s and had 50 Cent locked in for a song that was planned to be the first single. However, Dr. Dre stepped in after 50 was signed by him and Eminem.

    “[Fat Joe] signed me to Terror Squad, and we were supposed to do a project like a compilation album the way Khaled does his, and the first single I was going to drop was a 50 Cent record,” Preemo told The Breakfast Club. “This was when everybody wasn’t really messing with 50 to the fullest because he was having too much drama after doing ‘How To Rob,’ and me and Fif hit it off right away and clicked when I got on the phone with him.”

    He continued, “He said he would do the record, and right when it’s about time to do the record, we get a call that Fif can’t do it. I’m like, ‘Why not?’ and they like he’s about to sign to Eminem and Dr. Dre, and I’m like, ‘Noooo,’ because we already committed to us and I talked to Dre and Dre was like ‘Preem, I love you, but he’s not doing any more recording until he does his debut album.

    I guess not releasing his own music isn't enough for Dre, he wants other musicians to do that as well

    Dre must have been so proud of Jay Electronica until he f----- it all up and released an album in 2020

    So Fat Joe was cool with 50 after he dissed Big Pun on How To Rob and before he dissed Fat Joe himself for collaborating with Ja Rule on New York?

    Pun threw a shot at 50 right before his passing. I guess Fat Joe got over the beef. Plus they were both Chris Lighty artists. I do recall Joe giving 50 props here and there before his beef with Joe. I think Joe mentioned publicly that he liked “In The Club”. So, it’s not totally unbelievable.
