BEHIND CLOSED DOORS
WORDS: N. ALI EARLY

He’ll probably receive a lifetime achievement award sometime after his legacy has been well established and chances are his grandmother’s mantle will have been clear of accolades since the dawn of his storied career. As made as any man in hip hop, 50 Cent has been nominated for a mind boggling 14 Grammy’s, but never had the pleasure of seeing his favorite woman smile that proud smile.

In 2003, after disposing of his most obvious irritant, he took the reigns as the new kid on the block, selling upwards of 12 million copies with the release of Get Rich Or Die Tryin’. He won fans and celebrity for his trouble, but no trophies. No best artist of the year. Not the best song. Nothing.

Lestonia Leviston, the mother of rapper Rick Ross, is suing 50 Cent for releasing a sex tape and including himself on it to further fuel a beef between the two.

Leviston claims the tape has caused her emotional distress and maintains she never gave the G Unit CEO permission to use the tape in any shape, form or fashion.

In the video 50 is seen putting his acting skills to work as his alter ego “Pimpin’ Curly” gets some run. Curly refers to Leviston as Brooke the entire time while he more or less narrates the action for the viewer, stroke for stroke.

The edited tape was originally broadcast on 50s website subsidiary BOOBOO TV and was made in 2008, according to the lawsuit.

In related news, 50 Cent and Rick Ross recently ended their beef.

Would you believe us if we told you we sent Alicia Keys and 50 Cent some giant frames to commemorate all the good times we’ve had over the years?

That she loved hers so much she placed it on her piano and sang us a song? That he ripped his open with the fury of a 7-year-old with the okay to gorge a giant SNICKERS bar?

Probably not… The truth is, the following video is actually a new promotion called fanvideo where anyone can log into their myspace/facebook account and watch their favorite artist (or maybe just one they like on some level) adore their ID for said social network.

CLIPS INSIDE

Looks like someone had a long look in the mirror and decided it was time to strike back? Five days in and three G-Unit disses by Young Buck… by the time the week is over he may not need Game.

Yeah, yeah, we know… it’s a little tardy and maybe even irrelevant, but why not? Go there homie.

Get yours and even if 50 doesn’t let you out of that contract, at least you let him know EXACTLY how you feel about him!

DISS INSIDE

Fresh off a year where he was found out and ‘begging for mercy,’ Young Buck sets off 2010 with a pair of G-Unit disses. The first, “Happy New Year,” was presumably released as the Apple dropped and “Steroids,” the newer diss, surfaced closer to the end of the weekend.

It could be an act of desperation in an attempt to resuscitate his career, or he could really mean what he’s saying. The bad thing is, most people don’t really care anymore.

Cold thing about it is “Steroids” is actually a decent diss. Nice beat, well orchestrated bars, great energy, concept, etc. He seems to have generated a decent amount of interest, but dude really can’t win in the long run.

Buck kinda did himself in with that long ass message whimpering about how he fucked up… before we know it they’ll be claiming he’s bi-polar like the boy Game.

They really should do a Fuck G U-Not album together.
