Did 50 Cent just shoot a video for a sing that’s obviously not designed with the intention of shaking a few booties? What’s the world coming to?

Boo Boo seems to be in agreement with Nahshon when it comes to Drizzy Drake.

In fact, Curtis blatantly attributes Drake’s buzz to payola:

“When you hear a song on the radio it means it’s being worked,” he explained. “Ain’t nothing there just because, enough for it to be playing every hour on the hour. That song is being worked like he’s on a label. You know I’m sure Sylvia Rhone or Universal — they’re spending money to get the record played. They got the public feeling like its just happening.”

In somewhat related WTF news, Wale compares Drake to Zach Morris.

50 Cent has a new street album (fancy name for mixtape) scheduled for release (fancy name for megaupload) today. In an interview with MTV News, Fif specifically noted that War Angel is “a street album.”

Everyone’s favorite Jamaica, Queens rapper was  spotted yesterday with none other than Ciara, Vivica A. Fox, Karrine Steffans “Gossip Girl” star Chance Crawford; unfortunately for Boo Boo’s fans the Vitamin Water-charged emcee will not be showing up in the show anytime soon.

The pictures were taken yesterday on the set of Twelve, an upcoming release which also stars Crawford, Keifer Sutherland (Jack Bauer in my book) and Emma Roberts. Anyone else think that’s quite the motley crew of actors? No one tell Tommy he didn’t get an invite.

According to Woooha, Twelve is about a young drug dealer as his  life comes crashing down in the wake of his cousin’s murder. Surprisingly 50 doesn’t play the main drug dealer. He just plays another one. Maybe Fif will make a new friend in Crawford and boost the visibility of G-Unit’s sneaker line to caucasian tweens. Once can only hope. Read the rest of this entry »

Rick Ross – “Mafia Music (50 Diss)” [Feat. The Game, Ja Rule, and Fat Joe]
Oh hey, it’s Boo Boo and that Mr. T fella still going at each other’s neck 200 years later. Apparently, Officer Ross needed help from three other big name rappers. It’s not that Officer Ross isn’t capable of single-handedly destroying Boo Boo (after all, he’s twice as old and weighs twice as much as his adversary), it’s just that he’d rather share the glory with others. And that’s just because he’s a nice kind.

FINALLY, Boo Boo and Ricky Raws settle their score by shooting a fair one Street Fighter style. All rap beefs should be turned into video games so we can play them at home. Btw, is Def Jam Icon any good? I saw a cheapo PS3 version at Game Stop recently and thought twice about copping it.

Hey look, Interscope released a pic from some mysterious Eminem video allegedly dubbed “We Made You.” As you can see, those arrogant pricks Eminem and Dr. Dre are clearly violating the dress code.

People, stop holding your breath for Eminem’s first single. When has Em ever dropped a good first single? Em makes great albums, not great first singles. There’s a difference. Oh, and “Lose Yourself” doesn’t count.

Now that “Crack A Bottle” has cracked its way up to No.1 on Billboard Hot 100, I figured I’d keep the buzz buzzing by posting this free swag bag. This swag bag includes hi-def (and I’m talking 320kbps) versions of “Crack A Bottle,” the mid-tempo comeback anthem by hip-hop’s 3 Musketeers — Eminem, Dr. Dre, and Boo Boo. Clean, instrumental, short, explicit, and super clean versions of the song in one convenient folder.
