Everyone’s not happy about 50 Cent’s new MTV reality show, “The Money and the Power.” And one of 50’s toughest critics have been none other than Donald Trump.
In an interview with New York 1, Trump predicted that “Power”— which centers around 14 wannabe moguls scrambling through various tasks to win $100,000— will fail.
“It will fail because he's not Trump,” Trump said bluntly. “He just did a show. It was a copy of ‘The Apprentice.’”
Trump did admit that 50 was a buddy.
“I'm in many, many rappers songs,” he said, “And I know them. 50 Cent is sort of a friend of mine. I mean, he likes me… he's actually a nice guy. And P. Diddy did a show, which, by the way, I think bombed, but it was a copy. I wrote him a little note, ‘Good luck with the copy.’”
At Sunday night’s TRL farewell show, “Total Finale Live,” 50 told MTV, "I said, 'What's the matter with Donald?' He's got a little age on him. He must be getting senile."

Malcolm X asked what was a black man what a PhD. The answer is "a ni*ga"
Two interesting things:
1- Donald said 50 was his friend, not that he is 50's friend. 50 likes him. I'm sure he could give 2 shyts about 50 or Diddy because they don't control anything.
2-The minstrel show has to stop

Who cares. 50 takes old songs and add new lyrics, then changes a few instruments in the song and puts it out as another album. His first album was his one and only hit, but since he's rich, he will continue to keep his name in the street. Persistence equals success.
