Remember the infamous battle between rappers 50 Cent and Kanye West last year? 50 Cent ended up losing the bet, and no he didn’t retire. But the rappers are already gearing up for round two before the year is out. The rematch of the century won’t take place at Caesars Place in Vegas, or on pay per view, but will rather once again be fought out in record stores this December ... read more |

With the country on the brink of economic catastrophe, I don’t care that the dollar is plummeting in value, the unemployment rate rose in 29 states since last month and oil barrels are running an arm, a leg and a portion of your torso – I care that 50 Cent has a job ... read more |

My plans to get totally obliterated for a live rendition of “Your Body is a Wonderland” have been indefinitely scraped. Concert promoter Live Nation has banned tailgating from five New Jersey shows at PNC Bank Arts Center this summer in an effort to curb underage and heavy drinking after over 600 people were arrested there during last summer’s concert season ... read more |

As the son of two God-fearing parents currently residing in the Bible Belt, I’d like to personally thank you from the bottom of my heart. It’s rare, especially in this heathen reincarnation of Sodom we currently reside in, that companies are willing to take firm action against the plague of pestilence and immorality engulfing this formerly great nation, founded by Puritans and Quakers ... read more |

The war of words between former crack dealer 50 Cent and husky badass Fat Joe continues to rage. The feud started a few years back after half dollar released a song entitled “Piggy Bank”, which bashed New York City rappers Fat Joe and Nas. Joe quickly responded with a track accusing Fifty of steroid abuse (he was later proven right), and a new interview with Complex seems to take the battle to a new level ... read more |

Like Templeton (2) from Charlotte’s Web, I’ll sniff, scrounge through, and eventually shit out the most important music-related stories of the previous week. In an unimportant gag that serves no real purpose other than to bind the article together, I’ll count all celebrity references in parentheses, hoping to snag 50 by the time this grouping of words gets egg on your face. Fired-up? Than like John The Baptist’s (3) head, I’m off! ... read more |

I can’t say the possibility of 50 Cent juicing surprises me, but who the hell saw Wyclef Jean or Mary J. Blige coming? It kind of makes you wonder who else is rapped up in this testosterone-ridden web of lies. Pun very much intended. Why is this even necessary? Is Wyclef Jean planning on running a few marathons? Is Mary J. Blige trying to increase hand speed so she can hit a major league fastball? ... read more |

When asked about his own projects, Em said he was “in limbo” but also said he is always working in the studio.
