He wrote:

I tell @eminem i love him for what he did for me, he put me on. New Music: Raising Kanan Theme Part of the Game ft @nlechoppamusic &@rileyy_Iz out now.

The rapper gave Eminem a major shout for putting me on a successful music jourmey.
Eminem discovered 50 Cent is 2002, the same year the rapper flew to Los Angeles and recorded his first seven tracks among the 'In da Club' which later earned him number one spot on the Billboard list.
It is reported that 50 recorded his first seven tracks within five days and the records were produced by Dr. Dre.
