50 Cent Always Tapes His Phone Calls Especially if He’s Talking to Idiots
photo courtesy of PR Photos/www.prphotos.com50 Cent has reportedly taken steps to prove that the taped telephone conversation between himself and Young Buck is authentic by putting it up on his website. Apparently, 50 Cent released a new song called “The Taped Conversation” featuring Young Buck begging him to be allowed back into the group after he was booted out in April 2008 over royalties.
Buck whose real name is David Darnell Brown has hit back stating the tape was doctored.
50 Cent is now making the recording available on his website ThisIs50.com. He also told New York radio station Hot 97 he always tapes his conversations - especially if the people on the other end of the phone are “idiots.” He said:
“A lot of times people don’t see what the other person is doing. They don’t understand the cause and effect. They don’t see the other person; they just pay attention to me.”
When questioned if he tapes all of his telephone calls, he said:
“With idiots, yeah! So if they saying something crazy, it’s right there.”
He added with regards to his former friend:
“He needs to go to a program and get some real help. Then maybe we can talk to each other.”
I thought it was illegal to tape phone calls without the other party knowing about it, but I guess the law varies from state to state.

The U.S. federal law allows recording of phone calls and other electronic communications with the consent of at least one party to the call. A majority of the states and territories have adopted wiretapping statutes based on the federal law, although most have also extended the law to cover in-person conversations. 38 states and the D.C. permit recording telephone conversations to which they are a party without informing the other parties that they are doing so.
12 states require, under most circumstances, the consent of all parties to a conversation. Those jurisdictions are California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Washington.
It is illegal under all jurisdictions to record calls in which one is not a party.
A complete state-by-state set of regulations regarding telephone call recording may be obtained in the following report published by The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press:
