50 Cent on Kanye's 'Yeezus' album: 'That s**t is weird to me'

Rap heavyweight 50 Cent has given his opinion on Kanye West's 2013 album 'Yeezus' and admitted that he doesn't really get what Kanye was trying to do musically. 

Speaking to MTV about the superstar's latest studio album, Fiddy explained that there are too many genres involved and it strays too far from hip-hop for him: "He’s obviously a talent within our culture and is one of the driving forces of it, but some of that s**t is weird to me."

"That last record, to be honest, I’m not playing it right now. I still play 'Flashing Lights', 'Gold Digger' and that whole (College Dropout) project. But some of the new stuff is so creative and feels like he’s trying to create a whole new sound."

The 'Candy Shop' hitmaker went on to add that 'Yeezus' boasts a strange fusion of genres and he can't seem to get on board with it: "It sounds scrambled... radio is going to play dance music, EDM – you got a lot of stuff happening in music culture that’s influencing a lot of R&B music to that tempo. It doesn’t feel like hip-hop to me, it feels like a fusion of something else, like a weird combination of dance music sounds and stuff."
