50 Cent Wants To 'Gimme Less' Censoring With Lyrics

Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - Rap music is rarely known for being censored, but according to 50 Cent, that is what is happening.

The "Get Rich Or Die Tryin'" star has spoken out about toning down his music by mocking Britney Spears.

Fiddy, who lost a public sales battle with Kanye West, discussed song lyrics with MTV, singling out Spears' single "Gimme More".

The pop track, Spears' 'comeback song', starts with her saying, "It's Britney, bitch!"

Fiddy had his tongue in his cheek when he said, "I guess they have their rules that apply individually to each artist separately: 'Oh no, he can't say that, 'cause he feels like that about that person.' But it's not a rule that applies to everybody else. Matter of fact, my next single, I'm going to start it [with], 'It's Britney, bitch!'"

50 Cent isn't impressed with the apparent double standard after his latest single, "I Still Will" was released under a different title.

He explained, "The real title is 'I'll Still Kill'...It's [renamed] 'I Still Will' for MTV. It's amazing because right after that [video plays], they'll have a group on TV called The Killers. There's always more pressure on hip-hop music. It's the stepchild of entertainment."

"In fact, my new project with Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Donnie Wahlberg will be out April 12th called "Righteous Kill". Nobody has a problem with that, but 'I'll Still Kill' is the wrong title for a song. It's easier to fight one CD, one artist at a time - that's really what they're doing."
