Fallout From Stack Bundles Murder: Funkmaster Flex condemns anti-snitching movement, speaks on 50 Cent’s influence on hip-hop, courtesy of www.xxlmag.com

During his nightly show on New York City radio station, Hot 97, Funkmaster Flex and his guest, Fabolous, discussed the tragic murder of Dipset rapper, Stack Bundles, and the negative impact associated with hip-hop. In an emotionally charged interview on Monday, June 11, Flex denounced the anti-snitching movement, calling for people to come forth with information concerning Stack’s murder. “Call me what you want, I’m snitchin’,” said Flex, who also stated he was going to read out police hotline numbers on the air for anyone who had any information.

Flex also questioned the influx of hustlers in hip-hop, stating, “I’m starting to feel like the street element is seeping into the game too thick and too strong. I really don’t care who gets offended. There used to be a separation of the music and the hustle. I’m not really feeling that it’s separated anymore. The hustlers are managing the rappers.”

Flex even went as far to place part of the blame on the success of 50 Cent. “I don’t know if the whole 50 Cent success has made rappers feel they have to say something negative about a person that’s coming out,” Flex said. His guest, Fabolous, responded by saying, “50 has said he’s fueled a lot of this stuff. I [never] seen dudes pull them hammers out on them DVD’s like that until 50 did it. I’m not gonna lie.”

“50 Cent is a different animal,” Flex continued to say. “He has thought out his process for the last 10 years. This dude don’t move unless he thought about it and has thought about what he’s gonna do, when he’s gonna do it. ‘Cause at the end of the day, for y’all tryin’ to be like 50, he’s really laughin’ at y’all countin’ about 200 million on islands. I don’t know if you noticed, but this dude has never really been at a nightclub or standin’ on a corner.”

THIS GUY IS A BIT OF A PROBLEM.

Rumors: 50 Cent's Album May Never Come Out!!

Music industry insiders were shocked a few weeks ago when Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson announced that the release of his third studio album Curtis would be pushed back three months. The official explanation for the delay was that it was a "necessary course of action ... to ensure the album's simultaneous worldwide release."

But one of the insiders at Interscope Records exposed the real deal on what happened. According to the insider, record company execs want 50 Cent to re-record at least five new tracks for the album. The insider explains, "The public didn't respond well to the first two singles [Amusement Park and Straight to the Bank] and people here got freaked out ... [One top executive] wants to make sure that there's at least one hit on the album. And he wasn't convinced by what he heard."

There's one big problem with this idea though. 50 Cent is refusing to do any more tracks unless Interscope coughs up significantly more money. The insider tells, "In [50]'s mind he's done with Curtis and he's moved on to [his next album] - which happens to be his last under contract [with Interscope]." Our snitch continues, "He's asking for an additional seven figures just to get him back in the studio."

And it looks like a showdown is brewing between 50 Cent and his record label. "Right now everyone's still trying to stay clam, but the lawyers are getting involved - and you know what that means ... If it were anyone else [besides 50 Cent], I'd say that this whole thing could be worked out. But right now, I can't even begin to predict what's going to happen with that album."

Gay rapper extraordinaire, Marshall Mathers, exposes his private parts explosively

Eminem and Mariah Carey seem to have the gripe that keeps on giving.

A source claims Eminem has returned to their famously contentious fling, six years ago, for unflattering material on his forthcoming album.

"There is more than one track that goes into really specific, intimate detail about what went on between Em and Mariah," an insider tells OK! magazine.

The source claims Carey has asked the head of her Island Def Jam label, L.A. Reid, to intervene.

"Mariah wishes she could sue Eminem for slander," says the snitch. "But it's his freedom of speech."

Ill will has continued to simmer between the recording stars, even though they seem to have had the briefest of affairs in 2001.

Eminem mocked Carey by releasing voice messages, said to be from her, of a woman pleading: "Why won't you see me? Why won't you call me?"

Eminem has confirmed the fling, although Carey denies it. She told Playboy earlier this year: "Something is clearly askew with him. I'm curious as to why he's so obsessed with me."

Damn. Just a bit more light and BAM! We got us some soft porn! Yesssss :)

He's gone batty. Well, he IS a BATTY BWOY! LOL

The Game appeared in a New York courtroom today (June 13) and rejected an offer from prosecutors that would have allowed him to avoid possible jail time. According to New York Newsday, Game turned down the district attorney’s offer of a sentence of time served in return for a guilty plea on a police impersonation charge that he picked up late last year. The Compton native was picked up on November 16 in Manhattan after a yellow cab he was riding in ran several red lights. When officers questioned the driver, he told them that his passenger had identified him as a police officer and instructed him to run the lights. Game was arrested and charged with impersonating an officer. The deal he turned down would have counted the time he spent in custody waiting to go before a judge as his sentence. “Why should he plead guilty to bogus charges for a non-jail sentence if he’s innocent,” the rapper’s attorney, Jeffrey Lichtman, said outside the courthouse. “And he is innocent. It’s rare that I have a 100 percent innocent defendant, but this is one.” Manhattan Criminal Court Judge James Burke ordered Game back to court on September 20.
