This is way too funny not to share. 50 Cent was at Sundance promoting his Vitamin Water when he got up on stage and brought Jim Carrey up there with him. Fiddy started rapping, “In Da Club” for Jim’s birthday.

It’s too funny. Someone didn’t tell Jim that white boys can’t dance….LOL

50 Cent and Lil’ Wayne are apparently feuding. Lil’ Wayne started the rivalry, attacking 50 in a mixtape. He rapped “All about a dollar, f**k two quarters/B**ch, I’ll our syrup in that Vitamin Water/I hope you die ugly, and tonight will be gorgeous.”

To that, 50 rapped, “I’m on your heels, Mr. Carter/I heard you/You want me to die ugly? Okay/Don’t end up on the list, n*gga/Be a missing person like Cam’ron, like Ja, like Joe/Who wants some?”

50 Cent says of their rivalry, “It’s gonna be hard for me to get off him. He’s a talented artist, but if you put him in a space when we’re in direct competition, my consistency will break his neck.”

Team Fiddy, yo.

Eminem has released his third (and possibly final) cut of his song, “Crack A Bottle“. The new track features Dr. Dre and 50 Cent and it’s just a sign of things to come. It’s said to be on the 2009 release of Relapse.

Kanye West has pulled the plug on what was going to be another chart battle with 50 Cent, by releasing his new CD ealier than previously planned.

His album, 808s & Heartbreak was supposed to be dropping a week after 50′s Before I Self Destruct in December, but the rapper says that he’s going to release it in November instead.

Kanye says, “I finished the album and I felt like (moving up the date). I want yall to hear it as soon as possible.

Both rappers released their albums on the same day last year, with Graduation outselling Curtis.

After 50 Cent won visitation with his son Marquise every other weekend, Fiddy was asked of his plans before spending time with his son.” To which he responded, “I’m going to hang out with some hoes, make some movies, make some music, and continue to kick it.”

Ex-girlfriend Shaniqua Tompkins’ lawyers hit back, saying, “This is exactly what we are worried about. We don’t want Marquise to be in an environment like that.”

Shaniqua went on to say that her son doesn’t want every other weekend.

Hope they get it worked out, all this can be stressful for a young kid with a famous parent.

50 Cent has denied any reports that he is attempting to stall the police investigation into the suspicious fire that was set on his mansion in New York. It was said that Fiddy was frustrating cops with his lack of cooperation in the case.

His mouthpiece says that Fiddy has been ‘compliant’.

The statement reads: “50 and his attorneys met yesterday with Suffolk County authorities regarding the fire that destroyed 50′s house. The meeting had been arranged weeks ago. 50 is eager to review the findings of the investigation, when it is concluded.”

His ex, Shaniqua Tompkins accused 50 of setting the fire himself….but he was shooting a movie….

50 Cent has been reunited with his son Marquise, after he claimed that his babymomma had kidnapped him.

Fiddy recently blasted Shaniqua Tompkins for taking off with their son after her his home in New York was destroyed by a fire.

Fiddy says, “They done kidnapped my first one (son). My son’s mother got him, holding him hostage.”

The two agreed on a temporary custody deal and 50 was able to see his son. Reportedly, he gets ten days with Marquise before he has to leave to film a movie overseas.

Don’t they mean ‘gangsta’ lifestyle?

50 Cent has been sued for promoting violence and crime by James Rosemond, a 14-year-old, who claims to have been assaulted by friends of the rapper.

James and his mother Cynthia Reed have filed a lawsuit on Wednesday alleging that Universal Music Group, G-Unit, Shady, and Interscope Records are liable for encouraging attacks like this.

Rosemond said he was assaulted last year by four guys, including Tony Yayo, and one his employees, because he was wearing a Czar Entertainment shirt.

“The members of G-Unit, including defendants Yayo and 50 Cent, encouraged, sanctioned, approved and condoned its members threatening violence, and or engaging in violent acts in furtherance of its business,” the lawsuit said, according to the Reuters news agency.

They’re saying that the attack was intended to promote Yayo and 50′s ‘gangsta’ image.

Yayo and his employee pleaded guilty to charges relating to the attack and his employee was sentenced to nine months in jail for child endangerment.

Curtis Jackson AKA 50 Cent is denying rumors that he was set to help Michael Jackson revive his career.

Rumors were flying that Fiddy would be helping produce some of Michael Jackson’s new album and even collaborate with him on one of the songs.

Fiddy says that crap aint happenin’ and he doesn’t even think that Michael needs his help.

He says:

“Anyway, what can you possibly teach Michael Jackson about music – nothing.”

Carlos Evans, a record producer, claims that he was never paid royalties for 50 Cent and Lil’ Kim’s hit song, “Magic Stick”:

He was paid a $7,500 advance and was promised a cut of the profits, Evans says, but he hasn’t been paid and his requests for a royalty audit have been ignored.

Evans is seeking $2 million in compensatory and punitive damages.

If Fifty is laughin’ “straight to the bank”, then he should have no problem fronting the cash on this one. I’m just sayin’.

Kanye West and 50 Cent have released their new musical offerings today, in the form of “Graduation” and “Curtis”. Fans of hip hop are all but tired of the gun-toting and women-bashing music that rap today has become. Not saying that Graduation is any sort of masterpiece, because it isn’t.

50 Cent’s violent lyrical content may have already jumped the shark, according to fans:

As much as I try to stay open-minded to different kinds of music, I will never understand — nor do I wish to understand — the appeal of rhymes that glorify gun violence, perpetuate racist stereotypes, and discuss women as nothing more than sex objects.

There are clearly millions of people who buy into 50 Cent’s version of cool, but I am not one of them.

Maybe if the beats were stronger, or the rhymes were more clever, or the songs didn’t all sound the same I would be more generous. But 50 Cent sounds like nothing more than an uninspired brain-fried gangsta whose time in the music business is well past its due date.

Is either album phenomenal? No. I believe that the fans are speaking loud and clear. Down with the violent music and we’re ready for musical empowerment via Graduation.

On a personal note, I do not like Kanye West’s music. He comes across as arrogant. I’d much rather fire up an old 50 Cent tune as opposed to listen to Graduation.

Kanye West and 50 Cent are scheduled to appear on BET next Tuesday, September 11th, when their respective albums are due to hit stores.

This should be interesting. I don’t really care for Kanye West’s music, so I’m hoping that 50 Cent outsells him.

If it were up to a googlefight, 50 Cent would blow Kanye West right out of the water!

Here is the scoop:

West and 50 Cent have hyped the albums as an epic battle of rap titans — 50 Cent has said he’d retire if West’s “Graduation” outsells his “Curtis” CD in their first week out.

Curtis Jackson, better known as 50 Cent, has recorded two tracks with Dr. Dre and, “Come & Go,” ft. Eminem will be a single on the album. A G-Unit album is also coming out later this year, as well as a soon-to-be launched, “Official G-Unit Records” website as boasted here.
