One follower asked, “Is 50 Cent a good rapper?” Jay stated: “Anybody can be a good rapper. 50 Cent, at one point he was a good rapper. He has the potential to be a good rapper but he’s on some sucka sh*t and we will slap his f*ckin eyeballs loose. We’ll slap 50 Cent’s f*ckin eyeballs loose out his scalp.”

Another follower commented, “Put some Kendrick (Lamar) on” to which Jay said, “Nah, f*ck that! I like the one song with Gunplay, ‘Cartoons and Cereal,’ but other than that we don’t know what these lames talkin’ about.”
