Ever since 50 Cent declared his next target would be one Shawn Carter, fans have been clamoring for the rap beef of the century. Bloggers have speculated that given 50’s ruthless nature in battle mode; its easy to see how Curtis would be one of the most formidable opponents Hov has ever faced.
Trolling over at ThisIs50, I came across this post that I’m sure will have the raposphere atwitter in anticipation: “We haven’t [seriously] discussed making an album together, ’cause we would have to sit collectively and create each song,” he said. “Unless we was doing something where half of it was his and half of it [...]
Is this video of Rick Ross’ baby mama. No links. No embedded video. I’m just not going to do it. Look, I’m all for porn. In fact, I’m a pretty big fan. That being said, I have decided to drawn an inconsequential line in the sand and say that I refuse to have anything to [...]
