50 Cent Talks “Flight 187″

Friday, September 11 2009 9:22 AM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, Focus

50 tells the 1515 Boys that he wasn’t dissing Jay-Z on “Flight 187“, but rather, making an observation.

“It was the glasses,” 50 explained about why he compared Hov to sitcom character Steve Urkel. “They saw the glasses. I didn’t Photoshop glasses on him. I think Jay is really conscious of his actual moves. He does those things to make a statement in different ways to create clarity that he doesn’t have to be the way people want him to be. He can do what he wants. But [I wrote the song] out of the perspective of me mentioning things I thought were interesting.”

Bonus: Do it…do it!

T.I. x Chris Brown: Takers (Trailer)

Friday, September 11 2009 2:20 AM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, Focus

Nah man, that can’t be further from the truth. There’s no validity to that statement. I’m [an executive producer] on the movie and I ain’t put forth no sort of order or request, man. And personally, it’s very, very premature to jump to such a conclusion given that none of these matters have been resolved. No one has been tried or convicted or nothing like that. I’m not going to jump to no conclusions. I’m not going to. I think that’s unfair ’cause that’s what people did with me, and I’m not going to do that.— T.I. on rumors of Chris Brown removed from Takers, rapradar.com, March 9, 2009
