50 Cent being the unofficial face of WorldstarHipHop and Worldstar being the biggest thing in the culture at a point…I remember a lot of people thought 50 owned WS because you were so used to seeing his face on the main banner next to a…robot or something?

50 got mad and it led to this classic:

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
Gucci and Game doing like 8 songs together on mixtapes from like 06-09 with songs saying they were both bloods and then Gucci dissed Game without a Game response, which is atypical of Game




Didn't Game namedrop that Jeezy had crip affiliations on LAX Files?

Rakim was when he was signed under dr dre did an 18-song album that was never released and rakim originally had 50 cent's beat for Heat

yeah T.I. did plenty of songs with music videos that didn't appear on albums like that T.I. aaliyah joint called Dope, Pharrell having the better verse to "here ye, hear ye", and "memories back then" with kendrick and bob

nas and Pimp C posthumous collaboration


this game song



back when COD had a lot of rap cross over...I remember there were sound packs where your announcer was Ice T, 50, and Snoop Dogg, eminem doing a COD promo commercials, eminem talking about "ray guns" from COD zombies on "rap god"...rap voiceovers in video games like Game in San Andreas, etc

Game was asked in an interview who he would like to fight in rap... He said Gucci

Gucci's response was the first video posted..

Game never responded cause he knew he was wrong for that shyt

Jay-Z, DMX, and Ja Rule were poised to be a supergroup called Murder Inc. There was a big article in XXL about it. They were supposed to drop a really huge album on Def Jam, but for some reason (at least that I never knew) it fell apart.

Prodigy's collab with tech company called VOX that translates your voice. I was intrigued and forgot about after it was announced. I'm literally just now hearing it now.

Below is Prodigy HNIC Pt. 2 song remix of him speaking Spanish in a song

He then sues that company called VOX

The "Nas Lost" era.

I feel like with the the Nas business moves like the Mass Appeal label and media company his investment success and King's Disease grammy, no one remember the disgraceful "Nas Lost" internet commenter era and on this site.

It was from c00ns that were Jay-Z fans in the :hamster: era that hate any black man sounding intelligent.

That's the only 'voxonic' verse they ever put out.

It was just two people. A young male and his father.

Is this the one they had a song with Phil Collins on? Phil was even in the video
I don’t know if anybody answered, but the Phil Collins song was in 2002. Bone Thugs were on Full Surface in 2007, with that “I Tried” single that made a good amount of noise and that Mariah Carey/Bow Wow song. That album was actually pretty nice.
