Video: Lil Wayne Interview with Katie Couric (Full 11 Minutes)

At first look, you might think it’s pretty easy to size up Lil' Wayne.

He’s got the teeth -- gold and platinum diamond-studded crowns, a body covered in tattoos and the attitude.

Lil' Wayne: "I am gangster, Miss Katie."

Katie Couric: "What does that mean, when you say 'I'm a gangster'?"

Wayne: I don't take nothin' from no one. I do what I wanna do. And I'm gonna do that until the day I die. And if I can't do that, then I'll just die."

This tough-talking rapper insists that what you see is not necessarily what you get. "I have 'misunderstood' [tattooed] on my face because I do feel that a lot of times I'm very misunderstood

IMO, Weezy can hardly form a sentence, let alone command a presence of "fear" or "gangsgta"

but that BUG-EYE shit at 9:03 is a bit creepy.

News about NOTHIN'

Let me start by stating.

No that's definently not me in the picture, just tryna' give a visual on how I'm feelin'

I also needed a new picture to get that freakish cat's face out the ''rotating entry box" to the right over there.

I'm still chillin'. Things should be perculating by tomorrow.

R.I.P. Juan Epstein

Juan's Case

hate to be the messenger of bad news but the Juan Epstein Podcast is cancelled indefinitely. I can’t fuck with Rosenberg anymore. The guy is straight frontin on giving me his half of the money to buy Latarian Milton (The 7 year old that stole his grandmothers truck because he “wanted to do hoodrat stuff with his friends” ) a Nintendo Wii.

I am a man of very basic principles , if you make a promise, keep it….. Simple. This is not the first promise he has broken and I’m sure will not be the last. I can deal with it either way cause I’m just the type to not give a fuck, but to sheist this kid, who has brought us nothing but joy and happyness, out of his 8th birthday present of a Nintendo Wii is really bothering me. I don’t ask for much, but keeping your word is pretty basic in my eyes. Hopefully this can be resolved but its gone past the $150…. Its gone into really wack territory.

Listen to todays show to fully understand what’s going on.

Epstein's Case

Well I just noticed that Ciph has proclaimed the official indefinite end of Juan Epstein so here is today’s show that explains some of it.

Download: Morning Show (09/03/08)

You guys look at it however you want. I think it is pretty silly to end any sort of trust or friendship over the fact that we disagreed about 150 dollars that he claimed I “promised” to give, but that’s fine.

Also know that after the show I went to the ATM, took out 150 dollars even though I felt Ciph had “jailed” me and when I quietly tried to slide him the dough–he said it was too late and that it was “about my character” and that he can’t f*ck with me anymore.

I hope he changes his mind and wants to bring back Juan Ep, but if not–it was fun while it lasted.

I’m off to SOBS….

Uh Oh, looks like trouble in paradise. Whether this is a hoax or not. I'm grateful for the countless hours of enterainment these two brought about.

I guess we're supposed to ''listen to the show'' to get the coroner's report.

Play each starting from top to bottom, and see how a Madden Challenge can turn personal.

This is why I don't play video-games or sports, I seen homies get into full-out scuffles over Madden, it always somehow turns personal.

I know I'm probably late on this. But I have been curious on P's thoughts from the recent article where Nas bigged the Mobb and 50 up.


"you have 15 seconds left on this call" ahhh, an all too familiar sound.

Aint it a shame at 27 years old, I'm still getting these calls from the homies.

TMZ/ThisIs50 catches up with Curtis after his on-going court battles with Shaniqua.

In this video he goes in for a cool 15 minutes about all the shit going wrong in his life.

Video: The real reason Soulja Boy gets shitted on by Old Heads

Highest selling digital song of all time? Highest seling ringtone? ... How long have these even been an equation in the rap world? .... 1 year?

"If you need me for a feature or you need me for a beat.. Holla at me. Niggas hollerin' .. I aint really on them lyrics and shit like that, you know I don't really do all that.. I aint really for that. Niggas don't wanna hear that shit in the club, niggas don't wanna hear that shit from me"

While he does have a point that, ''niggas'' don't want to hear that shit from him, this is essentialy, the reason why Ice-T got on him like that.

Of course we all understand ''rap is a hustle''. Of course we all want to get out the hood. Of course we aint gonna ''knock your hustle''. But don't shit where you eat my dude.

You can't come into the game, a teen who had an extremely random streak of luck. Then turn on the exact ART-FORM that got you all that money you so flagrantly brag about. I know dude's a kid, when I was 17 you couldn't tell me shit either but it's got to be aggravating for people who've actually Paid Dues to see a little shit-head so ignornantly disrespect the artform like that.

I knew it, the squad over at thisiscurtis.com is already on it.

GangGeneral (whom is pretty much responsible for thisis50 uploads making it to youtube) just uploaded this about 15 minutes ago to his channel.

It's a compilation of Curtis, David and Jayceon in the what was once rare but now popular form.

Video: The GAME cries for Sean Bell

Now I understand gettin choked up, and I'm with Game when it comes to this particular topic, but full on water-works? I hope Game aint doing this to re-inforce Buck's phone conversation.

Watch this be the new fad in hiphop. Ninjas cryin' and shit. ::Shakes head::

Rumor: 50 AND GAME HAVE A SECRET MEETING

According to a reliable anonymous source over at Media TakeOut , 50 and Game have made an attempt to squash their 5 year fued, and we all know how reliable MTO is on their info. ::insert sarcasm here::

July 06, 2008. You thought it couldn’t happen …. MediaTakeOut.com just learned EXCLUSIVELY that last week rappers 50 Cent and The Game met at a secret location in New York to discuss future business dealings.

According to a G-Unit insider, the meeting was meant to gauge whether the two artists could work together on future projects – and whether The Game would consider rejoining the G-Unit. The insider told MediaTakeOut.com, “[The meeting] went well. No one has committed to anything, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Game was on 50’s next album [which is scheduled for release later this year].”

We really hope they can work this out. Hip hop needs this….

not sure I believe a f*cking word of this, especially if it came from MTO, but never the less, I found it somewhat post-worthy.

Nothin' Serious...

Let's say it's waked and baked day, and I was browsin through the crunkstastical.net archives and stumbled on this and got a bit of a chuckle out of it.

Funny Ishh.

Video: 50 Cent 14 minute confessional

Curtis speaks on detail to ThisIs50.com about a wide variety of things.

Most interestingly his perspective of the Buck situation and the relationship with Shaniqua.

Why and how he was inspired to create his new mixtape, Sincerely Yours with Mister Cee, which features Fif spitting over nothing but throwback R&B joints

Thisis50 - Full Conversation Between 50 Cent And Young Buck
by Thisis50-tv

Here is the full phone conversation between David and Curtis. I have not listened yet, but I have an idea of what it's going to sound like.

(*sidenote: at 1:57 p.m.)

Upon listening, I didn't mean to make light of this. This ''beef'' is un-like any other because it seems like what we're dealing with is real ''family business''

and who wouldn't consider the man who took you under his wing for the past 7 years ''family''

Buck didn't re-neg his statements or back-track or retract any of his actions in this phone-call. He kept it 100 with 50 all the way through the convo and tried to explain where his head was at and had legitimate issues. I usually side with 50 for being the ''smarter person'' in beefs.

But this was just wrong.

(cues "Re United" by Peaches and Herb)
wow. This is almost painful to listen to. I suspect the Young Buck stock has depreciated something serious after this.
