It's no secret that Eminem takes what critics and fans say about his music to heart but now, 50 Cent reveals that those negative reviews once led to the Detroit rapper shelving most of an album.

Appearing on Big Boy's Neighborhood, 50 claimed that Em had a sequel for Relapse ready to go but canceled the project after a lukewarm response to the original album. "Being criticized about the music actually affects him," 50 said.

"We had a whole other album when he did Relapse," the rapper continued. "He didn't like the response, so he didn't even put out the whole Relapse 2. So it's like, if he doesn't like the response, he can change it."

50 also expressed his disappointment with today's younger generation, saying up-and-coming R&B singers never disrespect the genre's legends.

On the Beyonce-assisted song, Shady raps, "And I try not to listen to nonsense/But if you bitches are tryin' to strip me of my confidence/Mission accomplished/I'm not God-sent, Nas, Rakim, 'Pac, B.I.G., James Todd Smith/And I'm not Prince, so…"
