I found this video at Rap-Up.com It shares a moment with 50 Cent who opened up to the camera. He talked about his recent custody problems with his son and his mother, his grandparents renewing their vows after 50 plus year of being married, and how he has no time to really have fun.
Wow, I thought life as a rap star was easy? In the end, I suppose they have real problems just like everyone else.
Three 6 Mafia got together with Akon to make “That’s Right“, a song off of Mafia’s album, “Last 2 Walk.” It was produced by Juicy J and DJ Paul and has a good beat and solid lyrics. Check it out below!

This song is called “Sunset” off of Marques Houston’s album, “Mr. Houston” which will be released on November 18, 2008. The song is about a man who loves a woman who breaks his heart. It’s a smooth song for those of you who are looking for something a bit calmer.

This song is “How Low” by Tanya Morgan (Please note that Tanya is not a female). The name actually represents a group of three hip hoppers named Von Pea, Ilyad, and Donwill. The group was founded in 2003 and won the hip hop competition Show Us What You Got. This track was released off of their album “The Bridge EP.” I like how funky the beat is and the lyrics are good too. What do you guys think of the song?
This is “Take It to the Top” by Statik Selektah featuring Cassidy, Saigon, and Termanology. It’s got quite an interesting beat. I love it when hip hop songs surprise me. This song is great. Plus, it’s got good lyrics. You can see more of this style of hip hop off of Statik’s mixtape, “Stick 2 The Script” which will be released on September 30.

Here is G-Unit’s newest song, “Close to Me” off of their album “Terminate On Sight” which was produced by Chris Styles. The album premiered at #4 on Billboard’s Top 200 and sold 102,000 copies. The track has a nice piano beat, but will it be enough to pull G-Unit together and sell more copies of their album?
This song is called “Another Late Night” by Outasight. It’s off of his album “Radio New York“, which was mostly produced by Dante Lewis. I like that this stays true to hip hop, but it has something else going on. It has a jazz feel to it. It’s nice to listen to. Check it out below.

Alright, so how many of you remember when Hot Dollar release his song “I Got 2 Get It?” Many fans liked the beat to the song, but hated the lyrics. Well, Topic brought something different to the song by changing the lyrics and bringing forth a better delivery. Off of his album, “American Hustle“, Topic present us with the new and improved version of the song. He even changed the title to “I Got to Get It.”
I must admit, I prefer Topic’s lyrics and delivery a heck of a lot more than Hot Dollar’s. I’ve included both Hot Dollar’s version of the song and Topic’s version so you can compare them.
Here is Hot Dollar’s version of the song:
Here is Topic’s version of the song:
It’s going to be the event of this summer so don’t miss it. N.E.R.D. will be featured along with a few other great rappers, at the HARD NYE!
“LOS ANGELES – Harder. Better. Faster. Stronger. HARD returns with the Summer Music Festival, going down July 19, 2008 at the Shrine Expo Hall in downtown Los Angeles.
The inaugural event, HARD NYE, made headlines as the New Year rang in with headliners Justice, Peaches and 2 Live Crew. This summer’s all-night spectacular will include 2 stages and boast a genre-bending line-up, featuring N.E.R.D, MSTRKRFT, Spank Rock, Kid Sister, A-Trak, Steve Aoki, The Bloody Beetroots, Kill The Noise and many more. Terry Kennedy and friends will be in attendance at the HARD Mini Street Park. If you thought NYE was impressive, prepare to be destroyed this summer.”
