50 Cent is too much, this video is hilarious. Him and Rick Ross have been going back and forth the past few days after Rick Ross dissed him with a few lines in a new song titled Mafia Music. 50 responded quickly with the diss response titled “Officer Ricky Go Ahead Try Me“. Rick Ross got on the radio and said the diss was garbage, and that 50 has 48 hours to make a better one. That’s when 50 recorded a video saying he was going to fuck up Rick Ross’s life for fun, and in the video he was wearing the Karmaloop x T.I.T.S. Collab Tee featuring the infamous Karmaloop model Kelly Starr. There was a few radio interviews from both of them posted around online in between, and then the video above, that had the internet going nuts. 50 tracks down Rick Ross’s first baby’s momma, and takes her out shopping, and is helping her put out a book that she will talk more about Ross, and attempt to discredit his image. To make matters worse, the book is going to be put out the same day as Rick Ross’s new album, with the same title. 50 Cent is ruthless, and in the video above he was wearing another T.I.T.S. shirt, known as the Wifey 2 Tee. Both shirts from 50 Cent’s videos can be purchased on Karmaloop, and be sure to use any of the latest karmaloop discount codes, to save some extra money when purchasing!
It’s always good when these 2 link up for a track. Real laid back smooth joint, they both came nice, and the song seems to get better every time I hear it. The video above is from Joe Budden TV, Joell and Joe are discussing how the song should be structured, and they have some differences.
POST UPDATE: This song came out a month ago, but it was just Joell, and Budden. Now Royce Da 5’9 and Crooked I added verses to the track, but Joell and Budden’s verses are still the same. Added the lyrics to Royce and Crooked’s verses, but there is still some errors, so give me time and I’ll try to fix em up.

Just saw this posted on JoeBuddenTV.com. Joe Budden and the guys from Slaughterhouse will be doing a show that will also have a live webcast on the internet. I’ve never seen something like this done before, and it’s pretty cool that fans that don’t live in the area, can still get a chance to see the show. I don’t know how good the video and sound quality of the feed will be, considering it’s a live stream, with loud music, but I’ll be tuning in to check it out either way.
I’m gonna keep this post updated with the latest from the Joe Budden vs. Saigon beef. These 2 started having problems a little over a year ago when Budden spit the line “Soon as the wife gone, she jump on the python, they ain’t know I’m out to hit and run like Saigon“. He was referencing a video of Saigon running off stage after he punched Prodigy from Mobb Deep in the face. The line was not intended as a diss to Saigon, but shortly after, he released a video claiming he was going to smack the earth, wind, and fire out of Joe Budden for talking about him disrespectfully. Nothing really happened after that except for them talking about each other when interviewers would ask questions about their beef. Until now….

Bought this shirt a couple weeks ago from Karmaloop, which was put out by the brand T.I.T.S. (Two In The Shirt). They used one of the most recognized, and hottest models Karmaloop had to offer to be on this shirt, for their limited edition, exclusive Karmaloop x T.I.T.S. collab tee. The model is named Kelly, and if you’ve browsed Karmaloop before, there is a good chance you have seen her before. I don’t think I would have purchased this shirt if it was another random girl on it, so this was a smart collab for both companies involved. There is 2 other colorways, but this shirt is selling out pretty fast, if you can find it in your size and want to buy it, or anything else on Karmaloop, don’t forget to save by using the latest Karmaloop Promo Codes!
Joe Budden, and Ransom, both from New Jersey, were at one time considered acquaintances, and could be heard on numerous songs together. Their “beef” started when Joe Budden was putting together a collab track for his Mood Muzik 3 mixtape, and he got a verse from Ransom. Budden also put Ransom’s ex partner in rhyme, Hitchcock, who he was in the group A-Team with until they broke up, on the same record, without Ransom knowing about it beforehand. The song was titled “Family Reunion”, and also featured Fabolous. This beef started at the end of 2007, and we got to hear them go back and forth, and everything was kept on wax. Well here we are, at the end of 2008, and the beef we thought had died out, has resurfaced, and been taken to another level.
I personally think this shit is stupid as hell, especially if something really does happen, there’s gonna be evidence of it all over the internet. The latest update, which you can see above, is Joe Budden stating he is going to take the high road on this beef, and let Ransom have the win.
Here’s the full recap of this battle thus far, from beginning to now.
This is the song that really made me start checking for Charles Hamilton, he just turned 21 years old, and is signed to Interscope Records. It’s a good song, and a pretty good video to go along with it, and a Lacey Duvalle cameo near the end lol. I had heard his name thrown around on some blogs before, but never really paid any attention to him, until I heard him freestyle off the top with Joe Budden (see here). Then I heard the Brooklyn Girls song, after I heard it was played on Entourage, and I been listening to his music ever since. He recently completed what was called “The Hamiltonization Process“, where he put out 7 mixtapes and an album, for FREE, with each one releasing 2 weeks after the other. That’s a lot of material in a short amount of time. I still haven’t got a chance to hear every song, but I’ve checked out a good amount of it, and while there is a lot of hit or miss tracks, he definitely shows a lot of potential. To stay up to speed on everything Charles Hamilton, you can check out his blog @
I figured I’d post up the tracklist for the latest mix cd I made for myself in the beginning of the month of December. Every month or 2 I burn a collection of my favorite songs at the time for when I’m drivin around. I named this mix, “Welcome To Heartbreak” after the Kanye song obviously, because it was one of the songs I liked the most at the time, and I just like the way that phrase sounds, I guess you can say I relate to it as well. Unfortunately, I’m not gonna post the songs for download, but you should be able to find them online if you’re interested in hearing any of them. It was a pretty solid line-up of songs, it’s not till after I get to listen to the mix in the car, to see which ones I should have left off, and I wasn’t too disappointed with the selections this month.

So the single for Padded Room has finally leaked. At first listen I wasn’t really impressed, but the song is starting to grow on me, but I still think these 2 could’ve put together a better track, but maybe I just had my expectations set too high. Be sure to pre-order Padded Room due out February 24th, 09. Listen/Download the song below and judge for yourself. Finally got the dirty version uploaded.
