50 Cent

Ok so I know I posted today, but I stumbled across a hilarious story. 50 Cent was at a New York radio station the other day when a shooting occurred. Don't worry don't worry 50 is fine, but apparently someone who may be in his entourage (that's the preferred term these days no more using the word posse) was shot in the leg. If you want to read more about the story you can find it here in a VH1 Article.

In the meantime here is an excerpt about 50's newest feud. It's actually with a member of G-Unit, his own rap group, known as "The Game." You may have heard his new song, but apparently The Game is being kicked out. I post this for multiple reasons:

1.) There is a rapper named The Game.
2.) 50 is getting a little too cocky for his level of fame I think.
3.) What's up with really hard tough black rappers arguing like old married Jewish couples? I'm baffled by this. Here is the section of the article from http://www.vh1.com/

On the radio Monday night, 50 — accompanied by G-Unit members Tony Yayo, Lloyd Banks and Olivia — told Funkmaster Flex that the Game was being excommunicated from the G-Unit because he felt the West Coast MC was disloyal.50 told Flex he was disappointed with comments Game made on the station Saturday night, when Game revealed he would not be getting involved in the beefs 50 is stirring up with "Piggy Bank" (see "50 Cent's LP Pushed Up, Harsh 'Facts' Sound Like Disses On Leaked 'Piggy Bank'").

According to Flex, Game even said he was going to do a song with Nas. "He's gone," 50 scoffed. "He might as well make the record."50 also said Game should stop saying "G-Unit." "He thinks he's doing me a favor when he says that."

During his conversation with Flex, 50 claimed Interscope was going to drop the Game until 50 stepped in and got involved with The Documentary. 50 also insisted that he's making more money off The Documentary than Game is, and that he wrote more choruses than he's credited for.

Game was on Hot 97 earlier in the evening, talking to host Angie Martinez. When listeners called in to ask about his and 50's problems, Game simply said he was going to continue to make "good music."

Two nights prior, Game had said on-air that he and 50 did not have to be friends as long as they worked toward that same common goal: making good music.For weeks there'd been rumors of friction within the G-Unit camp, but they'd always downplayed or outright dismissed the talk, and they even held it together long enough to shoot a joint video for "Hate It or Love It," which debuted Monday on "TRL."

Unreal ...
