G-Unit captain 50 Cent recently revealed his five favorite hip hop artists in an interview with Larry King, and surprisingly included his past foe, Nas.
"Top five favorite rappers, for me, would be artists like KRS-One, Rakim, Biggie, Tupac, one of my favorites too, Nas was one of my favorites early on," explained 50. When asked who his favorite childhood artist was, 50 replied, "KRS-One because the aggression that he came with, with 'The Bridge Is Over.' Like, hip-hop's always been competitive so it's always been battling, it's been a part of the artform, and he came in with the kind of energy that was necessary for you to make a statement."
