(Trey Songz and Fabolous at yesterday’s shoot for “Say Ahh” in Brooklyn. Thanks RealTalkNY)

Thanks to RickFromChicago who actually runs the Toronto blog the3XGP.com, and DJ Glew who interviewed Fabolous. They talked about Fab’s twitter campaigns, etc, but here, Fab pulls no punches when addressing the 50 Cent debate:

DJ GLEW: On Twitter you said: “Its interesting to c 50 Cent unite wit NY artists when he’s 1 of the reasons NY hip hop became so isolated & crumbled”…

FABOLOUS: I think that if you were to ask 50 a couple years ago if you were to do a show with those people he would have said no. It was interesting to me. I actually was invited to do the show as well but I had a prior show so I couldn’t make it. He had these hopes up [huh? Is this a misprint?] and he had really isolated himself with G-Unit when he first came out. He didn’t mix well with other artists and rappers unless it was Eminem, Dr. Dre, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, and whoever was affiliated with him. He use to offer if you wanted to come be with him then you can come be with him and get money but other than that he wouldn’t rock with you. He hasn’t had many collaborations other than on his songs and this is why I found it interesting and out of no where they put together this show with New York rappers and Hip Hop which is great. But it’s kind of this destroy and rebuild situation.

DJ GLEW: Do you think it’s because of the lack of interest people are showing him now? Do you think he’s trying to do the DJ Khaled unity thing?***

FABOLOUS: I don’t really think he’s trying to do that. I don’t really know what’s going on in 50’s head of why he actually did it…(cont.)

(Read more after the jump…and see more pics from the Trey Songz/Fab “Say Ahh” videoshoot…***btw what is the “DJ Khaled unity thing”?)

Fabolous talks to DJ Glew, continued….

FABOLOUS:….But I put it out there for a topic of discussion and people had different perspectives on it. Some people said it might have been another one of his marketing things or publicity stunts. Other people said maybe he’s growing up and done beefing with certain people. I just put it out there for a topic of discussion and I wasn’t taking shots at him. I think certain people misunderstood in blogs and emails. Blogs will sort of take it and twist it in another way.*** But what I really did was put it out there like how a talk show would sensationalize or put shock value to it. But it would be something that would have been a conversation in the barbershop. But that’s what Twitter is, it’s like a big humongous barbershop where everyone puts in what they think. So that’s what I did when I woke up this morning and I saw something online about it. It just happened this weekend so I usually just speak about things that are relevant at the time.

***I hope that Fab knows that while yes, there are definitely ways in which “blogs” can manipulate quotes etc….in this particular situation, and on this particular blog…the tweets were verbatim, in fact, they were screengrabs. There was no alteration of context or content. So the only subjective part was the editorial part of the post…and that’s not the same as “twisting” facts. That’s opinion…on an opinion.**
