50 Cent: #9 Hottest MC In The Game

Tuesday, September 29 2009 8:31 AM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, Focus

Coming in at numero nueve is 50 Cent. Of course, not everyone was pleased with the placement.

Why He’s Hot: Over the past year, 50 Cent chose not to roam on one of his main predatory terrains, the Billboard charts, by continuing to hold back the release of his long-awaited Before I Self-Destruct LP. Instead, the G-Unit General began to fully realize the potential of another region in which he’d already planted his flag: the Internet.

Fat Joe’s Record Makes 50 Cent Cry

Monday, September 28 2009 10:44 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, Focus

“His record…it sucks.”

Earlier this afternoon, 50 Cent was “hospitalized” and treated for noise poisoning after listening to Fat Joe’s new record. Hugging his son Marquise, he sheds some tears over the whole ordeal. This guy’s sick. No pun intended.

Snoop Salutes The Memory Of Big Pun

Monday, September 28 2009 10:23 PM EST | Posted by: YN | Posted in: Blog, Focus

To help plug the Big Pun: The Legacy DVD (I still need to get my copy), the Doggfather pays homage to The Punisher. Peep his interesting take on Mr. Rios’ current status in hip-hop history.

“I feel like Big Pun’s memory has been put aside in a treasured way and not in a distasteful way. A lot of people doin’ songs with Tupac and Biggie that they probably wouldn’t have never fuck with. So that disrespects their whole likeness. So Pun’s memory is still untarnished because it’s not highly publicized. It’s precious because you only remember the moments that you’ve seen him on this Earth.”

Guess Calvin’s immune to any and all of Liza’s fuckery.
