Random Quote: Curtis "Vitamin Water" Jackson...

50 was recently interviewed by XXL for the Jan./Dec. issue. When asked why he never responded to Nas' slight diss on “Queens Get the Money,” he went on to express his opinion on Nas' current status in music:

"Man, Nas is cold as ice. Nas is the block of ice that sunk the Titanic… I didn’t even hear his record. I didn’t even hear what you talking about…I really don’t want to talk about Nas."

"I think he’s at one of those points to where his career’s finished, to be honest. He’s had some great moments and made good music in the past, but he no longer has the interest of the general public or myself."

Top 10 Murdered Rappers

Isn't that a f*cked up countdown? Yeah well, Askmen.com just dropped their list of the Top 10 Murdered Rappers. Surprise, surprise...2Pac came in at number 1. I know, who would've guessed? Considering the fact that Mr. Shakur is in the Guinness Book of World Records as the highest-selling hip hop artist ever, with over 75 million albums sold worldwide, including over 50 million in the United States.

For the entire list go to Askmen.com.

Side Note: I never have to hear another random 2Pac verse ever again. I mean his verses have been randomly added to any and every artists' song from Michael Jackson to Britney Spears (I wish I was lying...but I'm not). Please just let the man rest in peace....

Ever Wonder Where He Gets It From?

It's no surprise that Kanye uses samples a lot. This video just shows you where he gets them from. Some of them are pretty obvious while there are quite a few that aren't...

Say what you want about Yeezy and his use of samples, but I like to see you take an old song and transform it into a Top 100 hit. Yeah, I said "100", I'm not even asking for a Top 10 hit...whether you like him or not, you gotta admit the guy's a genius.

Okay, now time to go and download all of those originals...

R.I.P. MC Breed...

By now I'm sure you've heard that he passed away last week in his sleep while at a friend's home in Michigan. Back in September, Breed was hospitalized and placed on life-support after he collapsed when his kidneys failed during a game of pickup basketball. He had been recently released from the hospital and was awaiting a donor for a kidney transplant. A noon service for Eric T. "MC" Breed is being held tomorrow in Flint, Michigan.
