April 1, 2014
Brand new video from 50 Cent featuring Trey Songz called ‘Smoke’ that he was talking about in the interview in the previous post with the Breakfast Club. Directed by 50’s go-to-guy on the visuals, Eif Rivera.
50 Cent Speaking On Appearing On Diddy’s TV Channel, Being On The Same Airplane With JaRule, & on His New Single “Smoke” (Video)
April 1, 2014
Now The Breakfast Club is on Revolt TV? Power move. Only right they get a guest like 50 Cent for the debut TV episode. But Revolt TV is Diddy’s channel, and Rick Ross (a rival of 50’s) is in his camp… so, yeah, 50 had a chuckle with the Power 105 morning crew over that. 50 went on to make lively TV via interview video: speaking on air travel with Ja Rule, on Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo, on his new single “Smoke,” on his departure from Interscope, on (drum roll) “Detox” and more.

“This rap bread sweeter than a honey bun… f#ck a b!tch, I’d rather see this money come.”

Producer M16 laying out another track on the “Black Hystori Project” mixtape for CyHi to run over. Done. This “3:16” is perfection in the form of bars… Ear candy. Visuals don’t really feature eye candy, but dope nonetheless. Check the vid and verses. A wholly unholy spiritual experience.

The Top 5 Strip Clubs In Atlanta According To Waka Flocka (Video)
March 28, 2014
His list is very interesting because I’d have to agree with about 90% of what he said except the food part because I rarely order food at strip clubs. I found it funny he put Follies at number one because I find myself in Follies more often than any other spot in the city lately. Me & some friends used to go to Follies alot before most people even really knew about it, but things have changed in 2014.
