New street video from 50 Cent takin it back to the street.

Cam’ron still has amnesia when talking about Jim Jones and Juelz Santana, but he does comment on 50 Cent breaking up Dipset and why he didn’t give up his Lambo in a robbery, plus more.

50 Cent talks about The Game, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre.

Game used to work at his mothers strip joint? Wow.

During an interview with Ja Rule as he plays Madden 2010 with a homie, he talks about thanking 50 Cent for mentioning his name on VH1’s Behind The Music. Rule also goes on to state that Fif owes him a lot of checks. He refers to 50 Cent as “this bitch ass nigga Boo Boo” who always has shit to say about Ja. They also discuss Barack Obama, sports and a possible upcoming three disc album.

Here is the full episode of VH1 Behind The Music chronicling 50 Cent’s life and rise to fame, including how he signed to Eminem and Dr. Dre with comments by Shady himself.

Part 2 and 3 after the jump…

MTV has released their full Top 10 Hottest MCs list after running a long standing poll. The thing is though the fan poll apparently didn’t count for diddly squat because the final top 10 don’t reflect the fan choices.

I mean at one point, Joe Budden was leading the pack and although I stopped checking Im sure he ended up in the top 10 somewhere, if not the top 5. Not to mention the fact that Eminem isn’t in there at all and he won the fan poll, and as disappointing as Relapse was to me personally, I’m still pretty sure that he is a better MC than Kanye West or Gucci Mane, who landed at the 4 and 6 spots. Or Rick Ross for that matter.

And how in the hell is Drake Top 3? He doesn’t even have an album out yet. I’m not knocking the guy’s talent and have high hopes for his music and inclusion on such lists, in the future, but how can anyone be the 3rd hottest MC in the game without having proven themselves on any real level? What albums has he dropped? What battles has he overcome, lyrically or otherwise?

And finally, Jay-Z took out the number 1 spot. Ok, I can see how he had the momentum going this year with The Blueprint 3, but the album itself was a disappointment and no where near his best work. Yes I said it, and let me further the controversy by saying that I’m not a 100% sure Jigga at any point in his career deserved the top crown when matched against his peers in that era, let alone now. But I guess that just goes to show the sad state of Hip-Hop this year.

No scratch that, we’ve had some great albums and music this year. I guess what this really goes to show is the sad state of MTV.

Here is the full list:

I never thought I’d see the day of D-Block performing at a music festival hosted by ThisIs50, Hot 97 and 50 Cent. It was dope as always. I’ve seen these cats perform three times and it’s always a hot show. This all took place on October 3rd.

No doubt yo. 50 Cent definitely held it down for the ThisIs50 Music Festival for an interview with MTV on October 3rd from Governors Island in NYC. Cameo’s from Cory Gunz, Trav, Maino, Jadakiss, Sheek Louch, Styles P, Tony Yayo, Lloyd Banks and a whole lot of cats. It was good seein’ 50 and the G-Unit crew givin’ daps to D-Block after they squashed their beef.

Here is part 2 of the ThisIs50 Music Festival interview with 50 Cent with Juelz Santana, Jim Jones and Red Cafe. Cafe is definitely bringin’ back that red flannel shit. Haha.

50 Cent’s been video chatting with fans lately, answering their questions, and expectedly it didn’t take long for Ja Rule and Murder Inc to come up in conversation. Fif’ also talks about Fat Joe hitting Jay-Z in the head with a bottle back in the day.
