50 Cent Tops Forbes' Hip-Hop Cash Kings 2008 List
After last year's crown went to Jay-Z, resulting in the 50 Cent "I Get Money" (1-2-3 Remix) with Diddy on board, 50 Cent can claim himself this year as Forbes' estimated top earner in Hip Hop.
The leading financial institution estimated that 50 made $150 million over the last year, topped by his Vitamin Water deal with Coca Cola. Jay-Z fell $18 million behind Fif at $82 million, including his blockbuster Live Nation deal. Diddy rounded out the last at Number Three, coming in at $35 million, a departure from the close running of the three New York rap moguls the last two years.

50 Cent's son kidnapped?
50 Cent claims his ex-girlfriend, Shaniqua Tompkins, has kidnapped his son, Marquise.
Reports say that 50 made his claim in a recent interview with Sister 2 Sister Magazine, where he discussed the source of his feud with Tompkins. Allegedly, the feud began with 50 insisting that his son have a better home and education.
"It wasn't important before the beginning of last year because he (Marquise) was being home schooled... I was paying a teacher $60,000 just to teach him by himself," says 50 in the interview. "He was learning slower because it was just him and the teacher. So he needed to go to where he had the best possible schooling district and I found a house in the area that was, like, $1.5 million."

50 Cent sues Taco Bell over ad campaign
NEW YORK - 50 Cent has sued Taco Bell, claiming the fast-food restaurant chain is using his name without permission in advertising that asks him to call himself 99 Cent.
The rapper says in a federal lawsuit filed Wednesday that the Mexican-themed chain features him in a print ad asking him to change his name to 79 Cent, 89 Cent or 99 Cent. His real name is Curtis Jackson.
The rapper's court papers say the ad is part of Taco Bell's "Why Pay More?" campaign, which promotes items for under a dollar, including Cinnamon Twists for 79 cents, Crunchy Tacos for 89 cents and Bean Burritos for 99 cents. The papers say the Irvine, Calif.-based company sent a bogus letter requesting the name change to the news media but not to the rapper.
The rapper's lawyer, Peter D. Raymond, said his client didn't learn about the letter or that he was featured in the ad campaign until he saw a news report about it. Raymond said his client is seeking $4 million in damages.
Taco Bell Corp. spokesman Rob Poetsch issued a statement saying: "We made a good faith, charitable offer to 50 Cent to change his name to either 79, 89 or 99 Cent for one day by rapping his order at a Taco Bell, and we would have been very pleased to make the $10,000 donation to the charity of his choice."
This isn't the first time 50 Cent has sued over his name or image.
In July 2007, he filed a $1 million lawsuit accusing an Internet ad company of using his image without permission in a game called "Shoot the Rapper," in which the player pretends to shoot him.
The game shows 50 Cent walking in an ad across the top of a Web page while the viewer is encouraged to shoot him by aiming and clicking with the mouse, the rapper's court papers said; a successful shot results in a misty cloud of red, and then the viewer is directed to another Web page, where the ad firm's clients sell goods and services.
The rapper is a well-known victim of gun violence: He was shot outside his grandmother's Queens home in 2000 and rapped in one of his biggest hits, "In da Club," about being hit with a few shells.
The rapper has been nominated for 13 Grammys, including for the song "In da Club" and the album "Get Rich or Die Tryin'." In 2005, he starred with Terrence Howard in a semi-autobiographical movie based on that album. He also starred in the 2006 film "Home of the Brave" as a soldier returning home from Iraq.

50 Cent Sues Taco Bell for $4 Million
In late June advertising representatives for Taco Bell made what they call a "good faith, charitable offer to 50 Cent." In a written letter, the company propositioned 50 to change his nickname to either 79, 89 or 99 Cent for a day while rapping his order at one of their restaurants.
In return, the company would make a $10,000 donation to any charity the rapper chose. The Mexican-style fast food chain released the following letter to the national press in June, before the original copy eventually reached the 50's offices.

50 Cent Sues Taco Bell For Using His Name
50 Cent has reportedly sued Taco Bell for using his name in an advertising campaign without permission.
Last month, Taco Bell released a letter to the press asking 50 Cent to endorse its 'Why Pay More Value Menu' by changing his name to "79 Cent," "89 Cent" or "99 Cent".
50 Cent's lawsuit, which was filed in a Manhattan court today (July 23), claims that Taco Bell released the letter to the press before sending it to 50 Cent and fooled consumers into thinking that the rapper had agreed to endorse the fast food chain. 50 Cent has reportedly sued Taco Bell for using his name in an advertising campaign without permission. ... more -

Whats The Worst Song Of All Time??
I know its been a minute since the last post but I been doing recording alot of new music lately so I havent had the time BUT I got a lil time and there is something I HAD to share with yall. Even though I hate wack shit, I think one of my hobbies is listening to extremely bad shit or just plain infamous ass shit. Shit like Shawty Lo's line 'How you laughing? like HA HA HA' or anything off the hilariously classic and quotable 'Controversy' album by the legend Willie D (Bald Head Hoes is beyond a classic). But the song I found isnt by any of the usual suspects or anyone you know and if you do know these dudes you should of stopped them a LONG time ago. They are called Young Spuset and these niggas are the Bentley's in wack music. Off beat rhymes, terrible harmonies and bad execution. Everything that could of went wrong, did go wrong.
Now I love how music can make you want to make music but sometimes music aint for all of us. Then again if you stay at it you can get better, cause I would have never guess Wayne would be where he was if you asked me back when the Block is Hot came out. So here is the WACKEST MOST FUCKED UP SONG ADD-2 HAS HEARD PERIOD.... Young Spuset's 'Lets Stay Together'. If you can make it thru the whole song I tips my hat to you...
Do you have an opinion on who has the worst song of all time....Click here....

Mama Said Knock You Out: A Look Back At 50 Cent Beef
For some, the gloves worn by Curtis Jackson as he pummels artist after actress after rapper with his lyrical attacks may read marketing and promotion. Flanked in his corner by the most dynamic training duo in history (Dr. Dre and Eminem) 50 Cent has ensured his constant presence on the gossip sites and Hip Hop webzines with his verbal attacks on the innocent, the not-so-innocent and those looking for a free PR campaign.
Right or wrong, 50 Cent has encouraged some of the most talked about tirades in the last five years, giving former label mates a harsh dose of reality, (Young Buck) and the fuel to rage their own campaign against the notorious one (The Game), but as we all know, all is not fair in love and war and there have been casualties that have never really gotten over the knocks they have taken and some, even though they tug at the ropes, probably never will.
This piece is here to break it down - the tried, the tested, the totally annihilated and the ones who failed to drop to the floor when the Queens fighter came into the ring.
