G-Unit vs Dipset...is it on? It sure looks like it. Late yesterday afternoon (February 1), Alan Grunblatt, Koch Records' General Manager, and Cam'ron phoned into Angie Martinez's Hot 97 show in New York to challenge 50's claim that he could shut down the label. After mocking Grunblatt and asking him if he wanted to be on the air like an artist, Fif straight herbed the executive, ordering, "put Cam on the phone!" The conversation between the two New York heavyweights began cordially, but quickly escalated when Cam demanded numbers. "I wanna see you shut down a Diplomat project," the Pink Panther told Fif. "How much Lloyd Banks sold?" "He's at 300,000," Fif replied. "And he's on a major and Jim is at 300,000 and he's independent and he came out way after Lloyd Banks," Killa responded before laughing hysterically. How much Banks sold? How much you sold Cam? At some point, the two even argued over who made more money between Jones and Banks. Cam then hogged the rest of the interview, talking over Fif and Angie without letting them slide a word in. "Curtis, how much Mobb Deep sold this year?," he demanded. "You getting ready to cause a whole other situation, watch this," the Queens rapper warned. "Cuuuuuurrrrrttttiiiiss, Cuuuuuurrrrttiiiisss, how much did the Mobb sold Currrrrtiiiisss? I wanna hear numbers, nigga," Cam then shouted, at which point he was cut off. Jim Jones later called the station to assure listeners that nothing was going down and that it's only "aggressive competition."
The brief exchange was actually sparked by an early dialogue between Styles P and Fif. In the conversation, Fif claimed that he'd be willing to broker a new deal for Styles, who is now a free agent. Meanwhile, Styles acknowledged Fif's accomplishments, but charged Fif for forgetting where he's from. "I like the old 50 Cent. I dug you a lot. You was like a cool cat. But I think you got too industry...When I hear you on the radio, I don't get mad. I ain't like them other rappers," Styles explained. "When I hear you laugh that 'Preme got convicted, you can't laugh at stuff like that. That ain't right, bra. We supposed to be from the hood. You can't laugh at brothers that get convicted." "Come back to the streets, bra," he later added. The interview ended with Fif claiming that he seriously wanted to sit down with Styles about possibly doing some business with him.
