I'll Do It Myself with Wayno - Maino Says 50 Cent FELL OFF! Do You Agree?

Wayno (0:00)

All right, we've been talking about Brooklyn today, or we're gonna be talking about Brooklyn today a lot. We got Maino, right? Now, Maino, the less rapper by the podcast, no secret to any controversy. They've been going back and forth with 50 for some months now. I mean, it kinda died down. Once 50 started focusing more on Street Fighter, and I mean, in the Power Origin series, he started focusing more on Rick Ross, you know what I'm saying? We ain't really seen him say nothing about Jim or the pod or none of that.

So, it's not at a surprise.

But Maino took the opportunity this weekend and Halloween and Troll 50 Cent, we gonna talk about that. And he also said that 50 fell off. Before we get started though, you know what I need, subs, likes and hypes. And if you enjoy this video and you want the audio, go to the links in my description and you could get it via The Black Effect Network. I bet. So 50 Cent, Maino has always been some sort of topic of discussion that seeped out of the music and went into the streets.

If we was doing top 10 tough niggas or top 10 gangsters out the city, Maino is definitely considered as far as rappers. Maino is definitely considered. Maino made a name for himself very early on in his career by having problems and controversy with people in the music industry.

And I think that in one light, I look at it as this, he took a page out of 50 book for sure. When Maino came home, it was right around the time when 50 had just sold 10 million or 20 million records in two years. It was right around the time when G-Unit was popping crazy. And Maino was moving through the streets of New York like a fucking rebel. Now, talking to Maino now, the man he is today, not saying that he necessarily regrets that, but he knows that he was wilding the fuck out. He know that he had a lot of fear instilled in the streets and the music industry, and it probably stopped a lot of bags for him. But I feel like on that podcast, Maino is possibly the most outgoing person. He the one that's going to laugh and joke and make fun or light of a lot of things that the other co-hosts won't do. And I don't take nothing away from none of them, but that's just Maino's personality. The nigga likes to have fun, and he don't take things too serious because he been through some serious situations. The did 10 years in prison and got cut twice while he was in there, so he been through it all. Lost a lot of niggas to the streets and all of that. But Maino, I always felt like his problem with 50 Cent stemmed from how people look at him versus his own personal profile when it come to the streets. This is Maino talking about that.

I think that he's a nice guy. And I think that somewhere along the line, like this character that he didn't build up for himself, that maybe, I'm not sure if he started to believe in himself or people just allowed it to go so long that he is now becoming to believe that. You can't believe nothing on this side. A hundred percent, right? I respect you as a menace man, I respect you as a man, and I respect you for what you done done, right? And what you done for the culture, but I don't know nothing about no gangster shit, bro.

I don't know nothing about that.

I don't, I'm a, you gotta show me that.

So, I don't know what this mystique and this information that I don't know. So, I just wanted to get that all, because we here now. I think he still wants to be your friend. I don't mind, because I don't think that none of this is personal, but when people have this thing about, oh man, you know, B-boy 50, you know, he don't play. What do you mean, I know he don't play?

Wayno (3:35)

How do I know he don't play?

SPEAKER_2 (3:37)

I don't, what you mean, he don't play? I don't understand, like, he don't play, like, listen, dope rap, like, we fell in love with the culture and the story, we respect that, but, and I'm not gonna take nothing away from a man when he deserve it, right? But at the same time, when we talking about, oh, he don't play, he's playing chess, we all men. And don't misconstrue grace with cowardice.
