World-wide sensation 50 Cent gave a press conference in Taipei on Friday where he named Eminem as a role model.
It was Eminem who, with Dr. Dre, co-signed 50 Cent to the Shady/Aftermath imprint, a move which was arguably the sole cause of 50’s success. 50 Cent named the white rapper as a source of inspiration, saying, “I kind of look to Eminem to gauge how I should respond to success.”
“He's had even bigger success than I have in some areas,” 50 Cent said, most likely in reference to recent comparisons between 8 Mile and Get Rich or Die Tryin’.
“He's been extremely helpful to me to kind of stay levelheaded,” a statement that perhaps hints 50 Cent may finally adjust to his fame and tone down his verbal grievances, just like Eminem did once before him.
