50 Cent recently featured on MTV’s Cribs to show off his house but it seems as if he was showing off his house to people who want to spend the $18.5 Million he’s now selling it for. Great marketing move Fiddy! Do you take payments? I got $2,000 a month on it… wassup?
It’s one of the most fabled stories in hip-hop history: Jay-Z and the Notorious B.I.G. meeting in the studio to collaborate on what would become the scorching track “Brooklyn’s Finest,” from Jay’s classic debut, Reasonable Doubt.
One top-class MC pitted against a rising blue-chip MC, and when Jay passed Biggie a notebook to jot down words for his verse, the Bad Boy rapper passed it back and responded that he doesn’t write down his lyrics. Jay said that he didn’t either, and the lyrical showdown began.
The result was undeniable, but if you’re wondering why Jay doesn’t have more great stories behind his numerous collaborations, it’s because that recording session was one of the few where he and the guest artist knew prior to the song being complete that they’d be working together.
And with the advent of technology and artists being able to e-mail audio files to producers and engineers, a guest like Lil Wayne doesn’t even get to hear the completed version of his song with Jay - “Hello Brooklyn 2.0″ from American Gangster - basically until the general population does.

Word on the streets is claiming that Kim Kardashian has been robbed of diamonds, jewelry and other items at New York City’s John F. Kennedy airport. A theft reportedly lifted more than $50,000 in goods, including diamond jewelry, a Cartier watch, and a laptop and digital camera.

Someone needs to rob me a copy of the 2nd part to the sex tape that was just released.
Chris Brown has released his video for “With You” from his Exclusive album. The dance moves are on point as usual and his color changing shirt effect is fire… good ish Chris!
This is what Weezy has to say about rappers, The Clipse in the upcoming issue of Complex Magazine:
“I thought the whole ‘Mr. Me Too’ video was about me, to tell you the damn truth. They think I want to be like them. I’m on a million-dollar bus going around the world charging people from $50,000 to $150,000 for verses, and I got 77 songs in magazines and I got a billion more. Do the math; you think I’m trying to be like you? No sir.”
I’m not going to say that ‘Mr. Me Too’ was directed at Lil’ Wayne but for a while, I had the feeling that he was looking for a new style to run with and may have experimented with the styles of other rappers. Oh well… If it’s true, then they should be mad that Weezy blew with their style.
