50 Cent was a guest recently on Houston's 97.9 The Box where he discussed the simplicity of today's music production.

"I still love music, I still wanna make music," he said, in answer to whether he had plans to record new music. "A lotta times I give my ideas to the young cats who are around and tell them how to do it."

He went on to explain how rap is and has always been a young man's game. "I'm gonna be all the way a hundred with you — Hip-Hop, the hip part of Hip-Hop is youth culture. I don't think you're supposed to have the hottest verse at 50 years old. I think that the 16 and 15-year-old kids should be doing what keeps the culture thriving so it grows to new energy and new vibes."

50 goes on to explain how things have become much more simplified. "Some of it when you look at it, it's easier," he said. "The cadences are the same, they're rapping the same way on the records. If it was like I gotta go make a record right now, I could do that record easy. You could actually take your favorite records and write your version of your favorite records with your words on that track and go get the next track 'cus they're using the same melody every time."

The host asked 50 whether he was disappointed about how the music changed from the mid-1990s with Biggie and 2Pac to the 2000s to now.

"It's evolving," he said. "Hip-Hop is so close to the streets that the influence has come into it. Look at gang culture. Drill music is gang music almost. When they're writing, that specific energy is in those records."
