Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “50 Cent explains how Star Wars is like lingerie — CES 2015”.
This is Ross with the verge, and we are here with 50 cent we’re here to talk about star wars. Actually, thanks for doing this with us and how this kind of came about how this new Star Wars – lineup, oh, I mean the first one. They approached me with the idea of what you know executives involved with SMS Audio of going after the license right. I was like that that’d be interesting.
You know because I was like it’s like 50 cent and then the geeks g-unit gig doing it all come together and then what ended up happening is we was able to work out and do the due diligence going back and forth with each other, and we did A deal prior to that with Disney is this. Exclusive thing is: if we’re talking a headphone star, wars is gon na, be SMS. Well, with Disney and all theme parks. Anything by Disney related the audio products are produced by SMS and then because they have such an extensive search of the companies that they affiliate themselves with. It was easier for us to do the license deal with the Lucasfilm film.
That’S awesome! Sorry! How long ago, did you guys start this process? When did this was a hero’s right here yeah? This is the first generation of the Star Wars, okay, headsets and then we’ll be eject it for the first quarter. Okay, we ended up selling in two days, just sold out it. Yes, it’s hard to kind of explain what the kind of passion is connected to that brand. I mean it’s been in since 1975 and the people that people teach their kids to enjoy it the way they enjoyed it right now.
Actually, let me ask you about that. So uh, are you a big fan of Star Wars? I do I join it. What’S your favorite Star Wars, my favorite characters movies are later really always thought waiting. Why is that? I was a bad guy like that that energy comes from the bad guy. So when your kid grows up, are you gon na make him watch a Star Wars? Trilogy is this a thing it’s like look in watches. This is exciting.
You wan na see this it’s gon na be good. I don’t like the kids like they didn’t grow up with it. So like it’s like.
Do you want that culture, part of theirs? Like? Do you want the divorce around right? I think I think. Did you see it’s the point? It’S like it’s like buying lingerie right for women, our wars in laundering, the same sentence, but I’m I’m gon na, hear you out on glass. This metaphor all right. It’S a little sophisticated right.
Let’S go from hip-hop. We do things a little different, all right, all right, Star Wars, lingerie lingerie is the thing that you would buy. Some a woman for her tits really feel yeah Star Wars. I’M gon na. Take you to have a good time and watch it for him, what he’s really good yeah, so it doesn’t punish me to have to watch the kid film all right, actually we’re gon na wrap up.
I just want talk about the headset, so these are the first models. Some of these right here you get your r2 you’ve got your. You got your Vader model right there, but when you feel the difference, even in the texture, it’s been done completely different to try and feel like the character. The way people perceive the characters, though yes, so how much it is right now how much he’s gon na go for some 199 109. All for and all these are gon na come out yeah and we’ve been able to do some real cool collaborations.
As far as like working with other companies and stuff, we got we got with Intel to create the bio sports headsets, and these these this is without making it any difference in size. They got 12 millimeter drivers. It allows them to record your heart rate. I was easier, these are Fitness ones, real time. That’S awesome.
Do you use these when you go for a run I haven’t yet. I know I do I really like over over here right. It says on my ear, so it doesn’t disappoint for the court. We got a wireless version of this also to prevent you from pulling the cord off why you running all right man? Well, what’s next, what’s next for SMS, and what’s next for you when’s your next album big things, man, I got the BCP coming out of g-unit. The group album and that we will got back in the record studio started recording him because it was five of us.
It was so the process was so easy. It was so much coming out that I said we got to put this like this out. We can’t like sit on it until we are not excited about it anymore, because that’s how artists the new ideas, the good idea.
Well, I guess I said y’all wouldn’t sit here together. It wasn’t like three all came in today and everybody there everyone to get every collaborator, I’m ready ready. I got ta put this out like it’s been a long time. If you want to walk out with the, I will listen to it yeah. It actually relates to SMS or neo Tulsa, because it took four years for me to release this album, I’m getting ready to release because I decided to build this company. That’S a beans! So once everything’s out the geniune album you’re out your solo, album y’all gon na go in tour yeah right away.
