Word has it that Big Brother didn’t clear little brother’s verse for this remix. Damn. Ye’s probably thinking: “F*ck it, I’m gon’ be No.1 on Forbes next year.”

Nas to Bill O’Reilly: “I’ll Bite Your Nose Off!”

Monday, September 17th, 2007

Uh-oh, Esco is now threatening to go Hannibal Lecter on Bill O’Reilly. MTV decided to run some more classic quotes from the interview in which Nazz addressed O’Wiley prior to his VA Tech concert.

“I will tell him I’m an American psycho, I’m his worst nightmare. “They Shootin’ ” is just the beginning.

I don’t downplay nothing, that’s who I am. When he wants to come holla at me, be ready for Hannibal Lecter. He don’t deserve an intelligent explanation. I’ll bite his nose off! He wants to talk to me like a animal? I will be — but only to him. With everybody else I’ll be a gentleman, including his wife. That’s right — I’m crazy. That’s how we should be to him. He isn’t here to help us, and we don’t need his help.” [Full Story: MTV]

Is he back on the crack pipe or something?

It must feel good to have to perform your single live on air without worrying about bleeping out cuss words in between breaths.

It’s official. BET Hip-Hop Awards returns to Atanta for the second time in a row. The event will be hosted by Katt Williams again. And, T.I. is top nominee (9!) once more. Not to mention that they somehow managed to fill up the Hip-Hop Dance category for 07. Either hip-hop lives in the south or BET is allergic to change. Wait till Pimp C finds out.

50 Cent Calls It Quits

(via Str8hiphop.com)

Well…almost

An obviously downcast Boo Boo told Kala Rama of 22 News that he’s no longer excited about rapping. I’m sure this has nothing to do with Graduation outselling Curtis 437k to 310k the first day. Hell, at my local Best Buy, there were 40 copies of Curtis lying around in the front display section as opposed to 6 copies of Graduation. And I gather they stocked more copies of Graduation.

Can’t say I’m surprised though. After all, 50 said it three months ago that Before I Self Destruct (2/4/08) will be his Black Album.

Bonus:
50 Cent - Smile (I’m Leaving)
[Produced by Kanye West]
On this bonus track from Curtis, Boo Boo talks retirement and responds to mud slingers.

Curtis: SoundScan Killa in stores now.
