Killer Mike Retracts "Disrespectful" Jay-Z & 50 Remarks, "I Want To Apologize"

Grand Hustle's Killer Mike has clarified past remarks of citing 50 Cent and Jay-Z for copying his style of bringing back "hardcore" hip-hop by offering up an apology.

Mike says his words were misunderstood by readers thinking he was sparking a rap beef.

"I misspoke," Mike explained in an interview. "It was about hardcore hip-hop. I had just come off stage and a lot of times, because I know a lot of you guys asking me questions, I tend to talk like I'm talking about a friend and it appeared like I had been -- not disrespected but being disrespectful to Jay and 50, but I done got money with both of them. Jay allowed me an opportunity to make money. He let me on The Blueprint 2. 50 has me open -- for him. First thing I want to say, I want to apologize for that even appearing disrespectful. But what I really wanna say to the audience is, hardcore hip-hop was, is and will always be and even though I appreciate the bigger guys turning to that, so that more people can pay more attention to it, that doesn't disallow the audience from finding dope sh*t.
