Just when I thought that I was done hearing about 50 Cent and his childish beefs…here we go again. A couple days ago XXL did an conference call where journalist could call in and do a question and answer with rapper Shyne. Everything seemed to be going smooth until none other than Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson called in pretending to be a journalist asking Shyne ” What is your real issue  with 50?” He was immediately disconnected but somehow found a way to get through again. This time he began yelling “Shut up n*gga! Shut up. You are on an island. You are on a f*cking island! I don’t care if you are in jail. i hope you got raped by a pack of n**gas.”

So… What what was Shyne’s reaction to Mr. Jackson’s phone hi-jacking? MTV contacted Shyne and this is what he had to say:

Wow. That’s like an all-time low. I didn’t know he was so desperate. He’s gone from confidential informant, witness-protection program dude, getting order [of protection] on muthaf—as. Now he’s a stalker. I was in shock. He called up saying he was ‘Jamal from Harlem.’ He didn’t call up saying he’s Curtis Jackson, Hawaii 5-0. He’s a busta. I can’t believe it. I can’t believe he would stoop to that low. Then again, a guy in the witness-protection program, he has no shame.”

Smh. I just can’t believe that 50 Cent really took the time to do that. Is it really that lonely at the top? I think that he is a really smart man and I am most definitely a fan but I’m really trying to figure out what kind of stupid juice he was sippin’ on that day. I wonder if he missed the memo that described where he is in his career compared to Shyne. It just doesn’t make sense and definitly not worth the time and effort.

Oh and I don’t know about you all but I hate that he basically repeated the infamous Mel Gibson statement about rape and a herd of n**gas. It was bad enough when Mel Gibson said it…Geez!  Stop the insanity people!

Unsigned Artist Of The Week: HYPE “Overnight”

Hailing straight from the Motor City is an artist that you don’t want to sleep on. He goes by the name of Hype and that is something that he definitely lives up to. From his honest lyrics and undeniable swag, he is proof that the flame for real Detroit based hip hop has not yet been extinguished.

Hype is no stranger to hard work, for the last two years he has been in the studio committing himself to his first project entitled “Overnight” What started out as a diss record in a friend’s studio has turned into the creation of an entire album filled with passion and real life experiences. Since the age of 15, he has been writing so it’s only natural that his passion for music would ignite an urge to put out an album. After observing the success of other artist, Hype decided that he was ready to share his talent and love for hip hop with the world.

Hype (named by one of his best friends after hearing his music) is more than a name for this up and coming Detroit artist, it perfectly describes his music. With songs like “I Lived It” and “Welcome, I’m Here,” there is no way that you can deny his ability to get you “HYPE.”

When asked how he describes his music, Hype says, “I really listen to artists’ lyrics to try and understand where they might be coming from. My music comes from my heart , if I haven’t lived or experienced it someone very close to me has. A lot of people who don’t know me describe my music as lyrical and passionate. Other people from Detroit feel that it is very personal.”

With a passion fueled by musical influences like Jay-Z, Eminem, 50 cent and 2pac, Hype is determined to build an empire for himself just as they have. The desire to be great instilled in him by his mother and grandmother growing up is evident in his will to succeed in every aspect of his life. His continued dedication and constant desire to learn more are exactly why Hype is destined to become a household name.

So what can we expect from Hype in the future? He says, “ I plan on working with a lot of other Detroit artists for my first full-scale mixtape, which I plan to drop by the summer.”

I’m looking forward to watching the development and success Hype will experience as he begins his career in the music industry. Speaking with Hype and listening to his music I know that hip hop is more than just a hobby for him. He has a genuine desire to put out good music and with his strong “can do” attitude, I have a feeling that Hype will definitely meet success at the front door. The music industry is full of sharks and negativity but something tells me that Hype has what it takes to make any naysayer think twice.

Yes…this is really 50 cent! He will be starring in a new movie titled ‘Things Fall Apart’ and was required to lose 60 pounds for the role. Reportedly, it took nine weeks for him to lose the weight. He had to go on a strict liquid diet and a 3 hour a day treadmill run. The character that he will be playing in the movie is a football player that has been diagnosed with cancer. He now weighs 160 pounds.

Below is a pic of 50 before the weight loss:

Crime Wave – 50 Cent

Good ol’ 50 Cent.  Filthy rich and still talking that gangsta sh*t.  Guess some things never change.  Boasting “I’m number 1 on Forbes” 50 is more confident than ever as he merks a grimy NY style track with a sample that says “no,no,no,no,no” Get em 50!
