50 Cent: You Know You're A Sh*thead When You Rally Behind "Weak" Mill!

Meek Mill feud spreads past Drake and Future. He aims at the Unit's 50 Cent.

Meek Mill released a surprise EP in anticipation of his mixtape Dreamchasers 4. The mixtape has unleashed several subliminals aimed at Drake and Future. Seven months after the Great Feud of 2015, Meek Mill decided to go back into the studio and record a handful of tracks aimed at the Canadian entertainer and those associated around him.

Meek also took aim at another entertainer, one who is a media mogul whose recently struggled with his money.

Curtis got a broadside by Meek.



And Curtis decided to go hard on him. The Unit's leader has made it clear he's no fan of Rick Ross. I am guessing that Meek decided to come to defense of the rapper after 50 continued to taunt him on Rozay's legal situations.

And down below is 50 Cent's official social media page. He mocks Meek. He photoshopped Meek's face to a poop emoji.

LMAO Hey shit head, your career is over already.you better focus on getting Nikki pregnant so you can at least get child support girl. 💩💩💩 new meek emoji lol

50 Cent called Meek a "shithead" and said that his career was over. He went to social media saying that Meek better get his girlfriend Nicki Minaj pregnant and ask for child support.

When Meek released the 4 for 4 Mixtape, he released "Gave 'Em Hope" in which some of the lyrics targeted 50 as a rat. He also went through 50's feud with former ally Floyd Mayweather.

[Intro]
Let them niggas have the Grammys, we got the streets
We rich already and my chick the baddest
This Rollie like my trophy, young nigga

[Hook]
When they needed motivation (What you do?)
I gave 'em hope
When my nigga needed money (What you do?)
I gave him dope
Every time we went to war (What we do?)
We gave 'em smoke
Fiends was copping, I was broke
Fuck that shit, we gave 'em soap
They forgot we gave 'em hope

[Verse 1]
I would spend time on that corner trying to stack me a hundred up
Strapped with that Glock with on my hip shit the coppers was running up
I look at these niggas and I can tell they are not one of us
I ride in the back like a nigga that can't ride the front of the bus
They had it segregated, bulletproof Caddy, I escalated
Stepped up in my game like a escalator
When you shine like I shine, you get extra haters
Seen 'em ride with the fake and I hesitated
"Wait, these niggas serious?", or maybe Meek Milly delirious
Judge had to sentence a nigga, no period
I'm putting fear in these niggas, ain't sparing these niggas
I cut out your head with a hair on the trigger
Try to reach for my chain shit I deal with you niggas
I end one of you niggas, had the paramedics screaming, "Clear", on you niggas
Uh, back in the Phil, we gon' get to the money and stack up that dough 'til it way up
'Member them bitches? They played us back in the day like a Sega
Now I got paper, young nigga doing so major
Niggas is hater, look as they faces
Yeah, we still balling, bitch, it's the Chasers

[Hook]
I gave 'em hope
When my nigga needed money (What you do?)
I gave him dope
Every time we went to war (What we do?)
We gave 'em smoke
Fiends was copping, I was broke
Fuck that shit, we gave 'em soap
They forgot we gave 'em hope

[Verse 2]
Uh, look at the money and stack it up
I talk about it, I bag it up
You popping shit on your Instagram
Shit that you're popping ain't adding up
Shit that you're popping ain't making sense
I got fifty reasons say you're taking dick
And it's fifty reasons I should kill, nigga
But, for real, nigga, I been taking trips with my Philly niggas
Got the richest chick, she's from your hood
Niggas hating on me, I ain't really tripping, shit, I'm good
I be in the 40 with the .40 on me like I should
I be deep in your hood where you never be at
Be with them guys that you never could dap
You could never adapt
You know the game, if you cosign a rat, you forever a rat
We were never with that
You tried to go "Money" May with that paper, but now you in debt cause you never was that
Fuck is you high? You know better than that
Mention my name and Berettas with that
I move for real in these streets, in the world with that piece I'm like Metta with that
Fuck what you heard, I'm a get mine out the curb
I'm a just sit back, I'm watching 'em serve
How niggas, they didn't rock the wave and they surf
I'm on my surfboard, this what I worked for
Mention my name, the shit your get murked for
Shit you get robbed for, shit you get killed for
Shit you get carried boxes into church for, oh

[Hook]
I gave 'em hope
When my nigga needed money (What you do?)
I gave him dope
Every time we went to war (What we do?)
We gave 'em smoke
Fiends was copping, I was broke
Fuck that shit, we gave 'em soap
They forgot we gave 'em hope

I see that it was clearly aimed at 50 Cent. Meek who is currently facing a bid in the iron college once again violates his probation by doing something that the judge told him not to do.

By posting on social media, he may have violated his term of conditions. But who knows what could happen! He knows he's fucked anyway.

What makes the feud so crazy, 50 Cent wasn't letting Meek off the hook. He went on to post a handful of direct shots at Meek. Matter of fact, there were nine mentions of Meek in a video.

The first one was funny. The second one was hilarious and I'll leave it up to you to view the rest on his official Instagram page.

Hip Hop's first retarded MC. This nut make philly look bad. I got put some new philly artist on because this fool. SMH  #SMSAUDIO #FRIGO

 Let's hear what 50 Cent's going to bring to the table. Meek fired first shot. Will 50 Cent give Meek "back to back" disses?

Hip-Hop Holi-Daze!

Gucci Mane is currently in federal time out in Terre Haute, Indiana. While he's in federal time out, his management company releases music. The most recent release is East Atlanta Santa 2: The Night GuWop Stole X-Mas. 

Those in the hip-hop community are relying on releasing mixtapes to stay relevant.

This month alone brought a slew of hip-hop releases. 

DatPiff.com is the leading mixtape website. They get the exclusive releases from many known and soon to be known acts. 

Fabolous, Lil' Wayne, Chris Brown, Project Pat, Juicy J, Wiz Khalifa, Rick Ross, 50 Cent, Young Buck, Young Thug, Yo Gotti, Busta Rhymes, Bankroll Fresh, Gucci Mane, Waka Flocka, Timbaland, and Trey Songz dropped a mixtape this month.

Canadian rapper/singer Tory Lanez is rising in popularity. He released two mixtapes at the same time this month. He's becoming a buzz on the hip-hop community.

So far this year has been a great year for Kendrick Lamar. The Compton rapper has been nominated for 11 Grammy nominations. His album To Pimp a Butterfly.

Atlanta's king of the trap is Radric Davis (known as the Gucci Mane). Gucci Mane while serving time in ADX Terre Haute has released his 18th mixtape/album. He has been the most active rapper so far this year. 

The East Atlanta Santa 2 mixtape was released yesterday.

The Law Put This Dog In The Pound After He Failed To Take Care Of Them Pups!

DMX is sweating. The veteran rapper back in county lockup for some form of stupidity.

Earl Simmons is still a dog on the loose and the pound about to neuter him.

According to Wikipedia, Simmons is a product of his environment.

I miss them days when he was the biggest thing that came off Def Jam Records.

DMX as he's professionally known was a member of the Ruff Ryders. He, Eve, Swizz Beatz, Jadakiss and his group The Lox were the biggest acts during the late 1990s until 2005.

X and his crew were selling hits. But their egos, the law and canceling tours have damaged their reputations. Now people aren't rocking Ruff Ryders.

The mixtape circuit is the only thing that keeps Jadakiss relevant. The others decided to make families and semi-retire from the music. Eve is focused on acting and is married to billionaire mogul Max Cooper. Swizz Beatz divorced his former wife and went on to marry pop singer Alicia Keys.

X on the other hand, is trying to find Black Jesus.

X is still having trouble with the law and is on the verge of being put in the pound for LIFE.

Last time I've talked about X, he was getting in trouble for armed robbery of a fan. Now I hear that he's back in county lockup for missing child support for the seven children (or twelve). I lost count.

Since he's no longer rocking with Def Jam, he's having trouble trying to push out albums.

So I guess with the money making in the dirt, X has blown money fast. He recently filed for bankruptcy after complaining about his child support.

The courts ain't buying that excuse. The law put the muzzle on X after he came to town. He was suppose to perform at Radio City. Alas, his habits of canceling shows continues.

He said those included $400,000 worth of unpaid child support, a warrant issued by the city of White Plains for bail jumping and a robbery complaint out of Newark, New Jersey. No charges have been filed in the Newark case.

A management company that has represented DMX did not immediately return an email seeking comment from The Associated Press.

Young Thug: Thugger F. Stunna Conquers Weezy F. Baby!

The feud between Lil' Wayne and Birdman drags Young Thug into it.

Atlanta rapper Young Thug is feuding with Lil' Wayne. The rapper was brought into this feud because of Weezy's frustration with his former mentor Birdman.

Also the rapper used Tha Carter for his album title.  It comes at a time when Weezy F. Baby is fighting Cash Money Records over the scrapping of Tha Carter V.

Young Thug releases his mixtape/album Barter 6 (formerly The Carter 6). The album features Birdman, T.I., Boosie Badazz and Young Dolph. The album was marred with controversy because many of the fans feel that it was"disrespect" to Lil' Wayne.

Thugger was going to be sued by Lil' Wayne's lawyers for copyright infringement.

Young Thug and Rich Homie Quan released Rich Gang Tha Tour Pt. 1 & 2 on DatPiff.com

The album was initially reported to be entitled Carter 6, a continuation of Lil Wayne's successful Tha Carter album series which had also been released by Cash Money Records.

This created controversy, as Wayne's scheduled album Tha Carter V had been repeatedly delayed amid a dispute between himself and Cash Money, who had reportedly refused to release the album.

Wayne subsequently became involved in legal proceedings against Cash Money and publicly criticized the label's owner (and Thug's mentor) Birdman, as well as responding negatively to Thug's decision to name the album after him.

Despite this, Thug claimed that he was not trying to be disrespectful, and that Wayne was his 'idol'.

Following a threat of legal action, Thug announced days prior to the release that the album was to be renamed it Barter 6, in line with the typical Blood gang practice of replacing the letter "C" with "B".

Lil' Wayne also aimed at the rapper for going full birthday suit. The album cover has Thug in the semi nude. 

A week ago, Weezy told his Mississippi fans, "Y’all let him know I said, 'Fuck ‘em,'"

Of course, Thugger fired a shot at Wayne. And to make it even interesting he fired shots at rhyming partner Rich Homie Quan after allegations of the rapper having a fling with Thugger's woman.

"Pussy boy I'll leave you dead and call it Dedication," Thugger raps.  While he's insisted many times that he once idolizes Lil' Wayne, some could interpret that line as a diss towards his idol, given that Wayne released a Dedication series of mixtapes.

T.I. is also on "Can't Tell." Yesterday (April 15), T.I. took the Atlanta, Georgia rapper's words as sincere when he addressed the purported rivalry he was having with Lil Wayne.  "'Everybody's making it a whole lot more,'" T.I. said Young Thug told him. "'I'm doing it to pay homage. That's my favorite rapper.'"

HipHopDx.com reports that Barter 6 has been heavily publicized due in part to the emcee's statements. The rapper called his "Mamacita" collaborators — as well as his new boss, Birdman — his "lovers." Then there is his referring to Rich Homie Quan as "Bitch Homie Quan," as well as his Jay Z diss in a GQ interview.

The rise of Young Thug and Rich Homie Quan got the O.G.s of hip-hop worried. 

You wondering why Wayne aimed at Thug and Quan?

The infamous kiss. Birdman plants on on Lil' Wayne and former Cash Money rapper Gillie Da Kid made it public.

Lil' Wayne's I Am Not A Human Being 2 went Gold. Tha Carter IV was 2x Platinum. DatPiff has charted millions of downloads for almost every official mixtape Wayne puts out.

Weezy is doing just fine. But the feud with his longtime label is newsworthy. Wayne is the last original member of the label. He, Juvie (aka Juvenile), The B.G., Young Turk were the Hot Boys.

Birdman and then in house producer Mannie Fresh were The Big Tymers. 

Cash Money Records came to fame in the late 1990s with hit singles Back That Azz Up, Bling Bling, I Need A Hot Girl and #1 Stunna.

Young Thug was once affiliated with Gucci Mane's 1017 Brick Squad Records. 

He is managed by Rich Gang Music, Birdman's upstart music label.

50 Cent: Nah, Game Ain't Coming Back To The Unit!

Bad blood. 50 Cent admits that Game is a great artist but he stands firm in not allowing him back into The Unit.

Game burned bridges and then some. Now the Compton rapper wants to make "peace" with The Unit.

We've heard this story. One minute Game goes after The Unit and a few months later, he's cool with them.

We know that every attempt to reunite with his old crew was marred with Game's stubbornness and unwillingness to acknowledge 50 Cent's role in his debut album.

In the beginning I was down with Game throughout his fallout with The Unit. But when I seen him admit that he believes leaving The Unit was a mistake, I started to believe the rumors of Game being bipolar.

As you know this is over 10 years since The Documentary. The debut album from Jayecon Taylor (aka Game). The first debut album since he signed a contract with Dr. Dre and 50 Cent. That album was a certified classic.

Despite his constant name drops, Game managed to score a four times platinum album. He had a lot of A-game producers, a lot of featured guests and five hit singles. But the thing that was missing was The Unit.

Yeah, there were features of Tony Yayo and 50 Cent, but the album was missing Young Buck and Lloyd Banks.

Well according to 50, Game didn't get along with Banks.

He wanted to do his thing with the Black Wall Street Records.

He was picking fights with Joe Budden, Memphis Bleek, Jay-Z and Yukmouth.

When 50 asked Game to jump on a single targeting Ja Rule, Nas, Jadakiss, Fat Joe and Ashanti, Game refused. Game said he didn't want no part in the feuding. He wanted to rep his click.

So on radio, 50 fired The Game. On Hot 97, 50 formally dismissed him from the group and told the public that Dr. Dre and 50 will continue without Game.

Game got upset and tried to confront 50 at the radio station. When his entourage was denied entry, a member of Game's crew threatened the security and they drew the pieces and popped off.

Game and 50 were both at the peak of an all out East-West Coast feud. But that ended when Jimmy Iovine warned them both that they'll be fired out the cannon if they don't patch things up.

So in front of cameras, the rappers made peace, "sort off".

While both hit each other with subliminal and not so subliminally dissing of one another, Game decided to release the 300 Bars. The freestyle went off on 50, Banks, Buck, Yayo and R&B singer Olivia.

He created the G-Unot boycott with his manager Jimmy Rosemond (aka Tha Henchman).

Game had been forced off the Aftermath label because he didn't want to pay royalties to Dre and 50.

50 took ownership of the naming rights after Game got fired from the labels.

50 continued to record a few more albums under Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment and Eminem's Shady Records label. But when it came to his Street King Immortal, it was put on ice. They shelved the album and let 50 find the door out.

Now as an independent artist, 50 decided to reunite with his estranged crew. He made peace with Buck and Banks. He also patched up things with Yayo and recruited Kidd Kidd to The Unit.

Now the Unit is trying to recapture its glory. But one member is still looking from the outside.

Outside is Game. Now an independent artist himself, Game is hoping to recruit Dre and 50 for The Documentary 2.

Game's failed attempts at reuniting with 50 all stemmed from the way they promoted The Documentary. The album was a product of The Unit.

Game didn't give credit to 50.

I believe that 50 should reconcile with Game. Although I don't trust Game at his word, 50 should get over the feud.

So do you think that it's time for these two to bury the hatch?

Ben Carson: That Devil Music Keeps Us Blacks Chained Up!

Ben Carson thinks hip-hop is the devil's music.

Okay, Dr. Ben Carson was on a R&B station talking to the host about his potential announcement to run for the Republican nomination. The clown stated that his intentions to run could happen in May.

But in the meantime, he wants to let The Blacks know that he's "one of us".

Like his good buddy, Stephen A. Smith said, "For once, 'US BLACK FOLKS' should vote for a Republican."

But for Carson, he's not even trying to win the young voters. He's pretty much trying to sell the idea of him running to the church going, anti-gay Black folks who voted for Obama but became disappointed when he stepped pass the Black church, and walked into the madrassa.

Attacking hip-hop music is probably not the smartest idea for a Black candidate running for political office.

It makes you sound like Dan Quayle, the former president who served with President George H.W. Bush during the early 1990s.

Quayle and Bush were fired out the cannon after Bill Clinton managed to win over Black folks.

Make sure you visit YouTube to see Clinton playing the saxophone on Arsenio Hall.

 Mediaite reports that Dr. Ben Carson stopped by New York’s R&B radio station WBLS on Easter Sunday morning to share the news that he will announce his 2016 plans at the beginning of May. But while was there, the potential Republican candidate also made some comments about hip hop music that are likely to rub people, both in and out of the African-American community, the wrong way.

“We need to reestablish faith in our communities and the values and principles that got us through slavery, that got us through Jim Crow, and segregation, and all kinds of horrible things that were heaped upon us,” Carson said, according to Business Insider. “Why were we able to get through those? Because of our faith, because of our family, because of our values, and as we allow the hip hop community to destroy those things for us, and as we grasp onto what’s politically correct and not what is correct, we continue to deteriorate.”

The assertion that hip hop music stands in sharp opposition to “family values” received some pushback from the show’s host, who told Carson, “When you said ‘hip-hop,’ my antennae went up very quickly, because I said, ‘Wait a minute that sounds like an old argument that they used to make about rock ‘n’ roll/R&B back in the fifties.’ That’s what they used to say.”

In an attempt to better explain what he meant, Carson replied, “When I talk about the hip hop community, I’m talking about the aspect of modern society that pretty much dismisses anything that has to do with Jesus Christ, that’s what I’m talking about.”

Seriously, does he really want to go there?

Apparently, he does!

The Law Gonna Neuter DMX!

This dog has seen better days. DMX is being investigated in a robbery.

Neutering the Grand Champ. Earl Simmons, Jr. known by the music as DMX is in some hot water.

According to the junk food media, a man alleged that DMX and his crew barked and bit the victim at a gas station in New Jersey. Now the law is considering putting the dog in a cage.

Newark police are investigating a 21-year old's claim that he got jacked at a local Exxon gas station over the weekend. The victim claims that the rapper and him struck a conversation.

In a few minutes, DMX's bodyguards showed a gun and told the victim to empty his pockets and give up his phone. As the victim hands his stuff, DMX's crew head out. The victim decides to follow the SUV and grab the license plate.

The victim says that he got lifted of $3200 and his phone.

DMX and his reps are not commenting on this claim. If there's charges, the dog could be facing grand theft and assault. Those charges could put the dog in the cage for 20 years.

DMX, 44-years old came into the music scene in the late 1990s and was best known for the songs "Ruff Ryders Anthem", "What These Girls Want", "Party Up (In Here)", and "Where The Hood At".

The grimy and yet philosophical rapper has become washed up.

All bark but no bite. DMX spent time in Maricopa lock up when he was busted numerous times for driving under the influence. The controversial sheriff Joe Arpaio made him a "star" during his stay.

His run ins with the law from drug charges, animal cruelty, child support, driving the vehicles without a license, and disorderly conduct.

DMX's fall from grace was the day he was busted in Arizona for doing 135 in a 75 mph zone. The law had found him with narco (cocaine, marijuana and alcohol) and an unregistered in the glove compartment. The controversial sheriff of Maricopa County Joe Arpaio decided to make DMX a queen in the county lockup. He made him wear a pink jumpsuit and pink underwear.

Back in the hey days when I was a little hip-hop head, I was a big fan of the Ruff Ryders. The rap clique included DMX, Eve, The Lox (Jadakiss, Sheek Louch, and Styles P), Drag-On and in house producer Swizz Beatz.

They were the crew back then. I had one opportunity to see DMX at a concert. Back in 1999, Jay-Z launched his Hard Knock Life Tour which followed his Vol. 2 Hard Knock Life album. The tour made a stop in Dayton, Ohio at the Wright State University's Nutter Center.

That was my first hip-hop concert. It was promoted by Roc-A-Fella Records and Def Jam. It included Method Man, Redman, Memphis Bleek, Amil and Ja Rule. The headliners were Jay-Z and DMX.

The Ruff Ryders were top billing along with Cash Money Records. They did a joint concert tour in which Juvie (Juvenile), Lil' Wayne, B.G., Turk and The Big Tymers were the opening act and DMX, Eve and Jadakiss were the headliners.

In 2000, I went to the concert. The concert started really late. Cash Money performed their songs and this terrible comedian was the intermission. The comedian was supposed to be the warm up act, but it flopped. So as me and many concert goers were sitting patiently. It was getting late and about almost 12am, the concert promoter came out saying that the Ruff Ryders weren't coming out.

People were pissed. I spent $80 to see a concert. DMX, Eve and Jadakiss skipped the act. I said that I'll never buy an album from these guys ever again!

Now you see where are they now?

The Ruff Ryders are washed up. No one is banging their music. Maybe that DMX's "Party Up (In Here)" song still gets rotation, but are you really bumping him?

They were supposed to come to Dayton to perform at the Nutter Center. That didn't happen.

They skipped the concert and many fans skipped their albums.

Now DMX, Eve, The Lox and Swizz Beatz are pretty much trying the independent circuit. Their buzz is faded and now the only thing that keeps them in the news is the fact they're doing either reality television or causing some infraction that lands them in the courts.

Lil' Wayne: I'm Young Money, Not Cash Money!

Wayne and Birdman are having a father and son fight.

I guess somethings never change.

Lil' Wayne is upset that the Carter V is being pushed back. Now on a vent he's declared that he's willing to depart from his longtime label to get things done. This is allegedly Wayne's last album before "retirement".

Since his early teens, Dewayne Carter been a fixture to Cash Money Records. When the former Hot Boys members Turk, B.G. and Juvenile and fixture producer Mannie Fresh warned of foul shit, Wayne ignored them and told them to chill, "Baby's got it!"

When the Hot Boys breaking up and Mannie Fresh's departure, it was only Wayne and Birdman on the label. Wayne decided to start up a label and call it Young Money. He devoted his time to getting the right acts on the label and putting out hits.

That idea worked. Cash Money went on to succeed. Aubrey Graham known as Drake and Onika Maraj, known as Nicki Minaj revived the label. These two became successful talents and revived an almost dead label. They went on to release three successful albums and are posed to earn Grammy nominations.

Now every washed up rapper wants to be on the label. Even Juvie crawled back to the label after he went broke.

I guess this family feud got even nastier. I mean Drake has distanced himself from the label. He started OVO Sound and signed his acts and publishing to Atlantic Records.

Tyga who is feuding with Drake is pissed his album being shelved. He took to the internet and vent off at Drake and Birdman. He stated that he'll rerecord his album and have Kanye West aid him in getting it released.

Wayne feeling the same way went to the social networks to blast the label.

Your thoughts on this latest bombshell?

This comes this year after 50 Cent departed from Interscope Records.

Big Bank Hank Passes Away!

Big Bank Hank (left) passed away.

Everybody clap your hands, cause it's time to party and The Sugarhill Gang was here to party with you. Did you ever went over to someone's house and they offered food that tasted like wood?

That's some of the memorable things I could think of when I hear the music from the pioneers of hip-hop music.

Today a legend died and we here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to family of Big Bank Hank. He died today and it's sending ripples across the entertainment community.

The AP reports that the member of the pioneering hip-hop group the Sugarhill Gang responsible for one of the most popular rap songs of all time, "Rapper's Delight," has died of complications of cancer at age 57.

He died Tuesday at a hospital in Englewood, New Jersey according to David Mallie, a business manager for two former members of the group, and Aree Booker, a funeral director with Eternity Funeral Services.

Big Bank Hank, whose real name was Henry Jackson, was born in the Bronx borough of New York. He was a part of the Sugarhill Gang in 1979 when it had hip-hop's first hit with "Rapper's Delight."

The song was released as hip-hop music started to emerge as a genre, and it landed in the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. It also peaked at No. 4 on the Hot Soul Singles chart, now called the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

The Sugarhill Gang, which was formed in Englewood, also included Master Gee and Wonder Mike.

"So sad to hear about our brothers passing," Gee and Mike said in a statement issued through Mallie, who didn't work with Big Bank Hank. "The 3 of us created musical history together with the release of Rapper's Delight. We will always remember traveling the world together and rocking the house. Rest in peace Big Bank."

"Rapper's Delight" became a success thanks to the late Sylvia Robinson, the record label owner who released it on her Sugar Hill Records. Robinson, who was known as the Mother of Hip-Hop, died in 2011.

After "Rapper's Delight," the trio had minor successes with songs such as "Apache" and "8th Wonder" but faded away. Their last album was a 1999 children's rap album, "Jump On It!"

Gee and Mike currently perform under the name Rapper's Delight Experience featuring Wonder Mike and Master Gee, Mallie said. Robinson's son owns the Sugarhill Gang trademark, and Gee and Mike haven't been able to perform under the name since 2010, he said.

Gee and Mike were on good terms with Big Bank Hank before he died, Mallie said.

Ja Rule: I Admit 50 [Cent] Tore My A** Up!

Clearance bin rappers 50 Cent and Ja Rule posed together last year. The feud over, right? Ja reflects on it.

Ja Rule comes out of the cesspool to reignite the infamous feud between him and Curtis Jackson (aka 50 Cent, the leader of the Unit). This marks over 10 years since the hip-hop stans got to know how much Ja and 50 hate each other.

Ja Rule comes clean about his feud with 50 Cent. Although he's no longer worried about his sworn enemy, the entertainer might as well start it all over again. He wants to air out how this little feud started.

This a well-publicized dispute started with 50 Cent claiming that a friend robbed Ja Rule of his jewelry and that Ja Rule accused him of setting it up.

However, Ja Rule claimed the conflict stemmed from a video shoot in Queens because 50 did not like seeing him "getting so much love" from the neighborhood.

While at The Hit Factory studio in New York, the rappers had an altercation and some of Murder Inc. associates jumped 50. He was treated for three stitches after receiving a stab wound.

Rapper Black Child claimed responsibility for the stabbing, saying he acted in self-defense because he thought someone reached for a gun.

An affidavit by an IRS agent suggested that Murder Inc. had ties to Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff, a New York drug lord who was suspected of being involved in the murder of Jam Master Jay and the shooting of 50. An excerpt of the affidavit read:

The investigation has uncovered a conspiracy involving McGriff and others to murder a rap artist who has released songs containing lyrics regarding McGriff's criminal activities. The rap artist was shot in 2000, survived and thereafter refused to cooperate with law enforcement regarding the shooting. Messages transmitted over the Murder Inc. pager indicate that McGriff is involved in an ongoing plot to kill this rap artist, and that he communicates with Murder Inc. employees concerning the target.

In an interview with MTV, Ja Rule acknowledged his defeat against 50 Cent and stated that his new album, The Mirror, will not be continuing any past feuds that he has engaged in. He said: There was a lot of things I wanted to say, and I didn't want there to be any bitter records on the album. Because I'm not bitter about anything that happened [in the past few years].

In May 2011, it was confirmed that both Ja Rule and 50 Cent squashed the feud.

Ja Rule said "I’m cool. We ain't beefing no more. We’ll never collaborate. That’s just what it is. You don’t have to be at war with somebody, but it’s also kind of like U.S. and another country that they may not get along with. We don’t gotta go to war, but we’re not friends either. But we can coincide inside of a world. He’s doing him, and he’s not thinking about me, and I’m doing me and I’m not thinking about him."

Not so fast. HipHopDX reports that Ja still talking shit. Wonder when's 50 going to respond?

In a sitdown with VladTV, the washed up rapper opens up again about this issue with 50 Cent, Ja Rule explained his side of an infamous chain snatching incident and clarified that the G-Unit founder “had nothing to do with it.”

“He’s good at what he does,” Ja Rule said of 50 Cent early in the interview. “He tells stories. I call him MC Gusto, you ever seen CB4? That’s who he is in real life to me.”

“It had nothing to do with music, Hip Hop, Rap, none of that,” Ja Rule said before admitting that he gave up the chain when a gun when pointed at him. “Of course, I said, ‘Yeah, take it.' Nigga got a gun on you. Nigga with a gun is the winner. Hands down. The guy with the gun won. ‘Take that, hold on to that.’

“Anyway, so I guess the story got back in the hood and so 50 used that as his end, to have something to say about me,” he continued. “But it had nothing to with him. I didn’t even know you know this dude. His story is, ‘I seen him with Troy out and about and I got mad at him.’ Nigga you had nothing to do with it, why would I get mad at the guy next to the guy? His stories just don’t add up, they don’t make sense. But to an outside source, looking in listening, people don’t know what to believe.”

As you know, all the players from the feuds of yesterday are now on the bottom of the clearance bin.

See what 50 Cent done to them all.

50 Cent is on the independent circuit after leaving Interscope. He announced this year that he is done with Eminem and Dr. Dre after they held his garbage in the bin too long. It started to smell.

Seriously, his songs off the now shelved album Street King Immortal weren't charting. Even with Adam Levine, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Alicia Keys, Jeezy, Kendrick Lamar and Snoop Dogg on the tracks, Mr. Iovine wasn't seeing a profit. So instead of going into the studio to muster time to make hits, 50 decided to leave the label that made him rich. He jumps onto some off-shoot of Capitol Records.

50 Cent went on this rant about how Dre and Iovine screwed him. Mostly because his Slump headphones were passed by Apple. The Beats Audio put Dre in the billionaires club and Mr. Iovine formally left Interscope a very rich and powerful man.

Those outburst forced G-Unit entirely off Interscope. That also gave 50 a chance to reunite with his disgruntled members (minus Jayceon).

The Unit got back together and released a couple of sleepers but no hits. The Unit is formed with 50, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, Young Buck and former Cash Money artist Kidd Kidd.

Jayceon (by the name of Game) is acting like a total dickhead. Still trying to work out them differences with the Unit but still dissing. Buck tried to calm the feud but no dice. Game wants Blood.

Foolish rapper was dumped from Interscope after Jesus Piece sold less than 100,000 copies. Game tried to eat with Lil' Wayne and Baby. That didn't go so well.

Now Game is flipping burgers somewhere while trying to sell his Year of the Wolf album.

Of course, 50's proven a point. Back in 2005, 50 aired out problems with Game. He said that he's putting his shit out on Koch Records. I guess he's proven a point.

Game is signed to E1 Records (formerly known as Koch). Game stated that he'll sign Ja to his Blood Money label just to piss 50 off.

Media Pans Toyota For Using Busta Rhymes As A Pitchman!

Busta Gut!

O'Loofus hate hip-hop music. The controversial agitator has been on a vendetta against hip-hop. He managed to go after Ludacris, Snoop Dogg, Lil' Wayne, Jay-Z, 50 Cent, and even Busta Rhymes.

I am one for using entertainers for the promotion of products, but whenever they use rappers to promote a product, expect the racist right to scream outrage.

The 2015 Toyota Sienna minivan is coming out and they wanted to make light of the vehicle. They had a child actors rap a verse to the vehicle and Busta Rhymes appears in it.

Veteran rapper Busta Rhymes stars in a Toyota commercial and the junk food media attack it for being as crazy as he is. Especially for the fact he's no longer the skinny lyricist.

"Swagger Wagon," is the video and many panned it for the rapper "selling out" his trademark lyrical flow.

After all he hasn't released an album in four years. Busta Rhymes announced that he left Cash Money Records due to creative differences and he is no longer on Republic.

And of course, there's another controversy building up. The weight gain from the once very skinny and fit Busta Rhymes also has the nation talking.

I almost didn't even recognized him in the video.
