What's the deal with 50 Cent Vs The Source?

I am out of touch. Dave Pearce on his radio show said, oh-ho-ho, 50 won't like that! Source mag gave him an award!! And Ja Rule picked it up!

Now, what's the mutual beef here? Has the Source called 50 on his inability to rap about subjects other than his fancy things?

Source = Benzino vs. Eminem = Shady = 50 Cent.

They did a 'scorching expose' on him, apparently he wasn't shot as many times as he says he was, and also certain people he used to be friends with haven't sufficiently benefitted from his largesse of late

Ow - another way in which I'm out of touch: Why does the the editor of a major hip-hop mag not like Eminem? Is he some kind of rockist? Mr Cent even raps about not 'giving anything back'.

Eminem is white, and taking hip-hop away from Black America. Despite signing D12, 50 Cent and Obie Truce to his label. It's all a bit silly.

bezino wanted t promote his shit through beef with eminem. benzino is founding father of the source... ja rule + benzino (together on s african tour) Vs Eminem + 50 Cent...
it all comes down to numbers... (and the best part iz XXL/Em+50 Vs Source/Benzino+Ja Rule beef)
