BIG APPLE PRESENTS WWW.SWAGGNEWS.COM

Hundreds of rappers have gone at Jay-Z in the past, but Beanie Sigel is the first one to hit at Jay-Z from a position not of jealousy, but of disappointment. Sigel alleges that after years of friendship Jay doesn’t return his calls anymore, is only about worried about making money and not friends, has done stuff that would make Beyonce look at him differently and snitched on him. It’s oddly compelling, like a divorce court proceeding transcript going public.

According to Sigel, Jay offered him a financial incentive to remain on the struggling label’s roster. “I told you I ain’t want your money,” he said addressing Jay-Z directly.

“But you was in a position to let me get my own money, and you couldn’t do that,” Sigel claimed.

Whatever issues remain between the two artists, who have always appeared to be very close, Sigel has made it clear that they can be resolved.

A new cartoon called “Gay-Unit Workouts,” which puts G-Unit members in compromising homoerotic positions, has hit the net giving rise to the possibility of Rick Ross adopting 50 Cent’s cartoon strategy in their ongoing battle.

The new cartoon focuses on making the rappers appear overly comfortable with one another.

“Yo son, get your a** off my tongue so I can speak,” an animated 50 tells Tony Yayo on the clip. “Eh yo so, I’m thinking later on I’mma buy us all some matching clothes. I think I blew a hole in my pants today, Yayo. “Nah Fif, it looks good, no problems over here. But for real son, that n*gga Ross f*cked you up on that ‘Mafia Music’ son but I heard he got some new sh*t though…called ‘Magnificent’ John Legend, son. Sh*t son, I don’t know what the f*ck we gonna do.”

50 Cent may have a new adversary within a day’s time.

The G-Unit leader has upset rapper Foxy Brown, who was briefly mentioned in the ballooning war of words with Miami heavy weight Rick Ross.

Foxy Brown says she is granting 50 Cent 24 hours to retract the line where she is briefly mentioned on “Try Me.”

On 50 Cent’s diss track, he says, “The cop f**ked a fox.” The line, although scant, refers to a brief, personal relationship Rick Ross and Brown had. It also refers to Ross’ past as a correctional officer.

Foxy Brown’s camp issued a statement that proclaims that she has no involvement in the conflict between the two rap titans.

In a statement to AllHipHop.com, Brown’s representative stated, “Foxy is giving that n***a 24 hour [period] to retract that statement or she’s going handle [him] Brooklyn Style.”

Ironically, after 50 Cent wrote the initial song, Rick Ross gave 50 Cent 48 hours to offer a more substantial response. 50 Cent returned with a number of insulting videos, including cartoons and a taped shopping spree with the mother of Ross’ child.

Currently, Brown is working on her new album Black Roses, which is expected to be in stores this summer.

Rumors swirled that Foxy Brown and Rick Ross were to be married, but those proved to be false.

During a recent interview on Seattle’s Kube 93, Game told radio personality Eddie Francis that he was siding with 50 on the feud between him and Rick Ross. “For the first time in four years I’m kind of like low key riding with 50 on this one,” Game admitted. “For this first time in four years homey I’m siding with this dude. It’s just ridiculous,” he said of battle between the two heavyweights. “He’s taking your baby mama shopping. She’s trying on fur coats with the Stevie Wonder jam… 50 eating you boy.” The Game then took some time out to extend his services to Ross. “Hey yo Ross, homey call me on my phone man,” he said. “This is the first time I talked about this, but yo Rick Ross reach out to my folks and then have him call me on three way so I can get you out of this mess man.”

Well, we can’t say we didn’t see this one coming. Anyone who’s followed 50 Cent’s
history of beef (II) knows full and well that Curtis doesn’t half step
when it comes to embarrassing his opponents. So it was only a matter of
time before Curtis’ latest nemesis, William Leonard Roberts II bka Rick Ross got the Southside Special.

Yesterday, 50 released a video
of him taking one of Rick Ross’ baby’s mothers shopping for furs and
Gucci bags. Was the hilariously embarassing move a career-ender for
Officer Ricky? All eyes are now on the Boss, waiting to see how he
reacts. 

#5: RECORD A SONG WITH THE REAL NORIEGA

• The rap public scoffed when Ross boasted that he knew “Noriega—the real
Noriega” on his debut single, “Husltin’.” We still don’t believe the
hyperbolic boast, but his “realness” would seem a lot less fraudulent
if he finally hooked up with the former De Facto Leader of Panama on a
track. We’d even settle for a phoned-in interlude live from the bing.

#4: CREATE THE ‘09 VERSION OF COP RAP GROUP 5IVE-0.

• It may seem unbelievable in today’s world of hustlers-turned-rappers,
but back in 1994, there was actually an entire rap group comprised of
police officers called “5ive-O.” See, Ricky? Being a gloried security
guard isn’t that bad! If he just embraced his past, he could reach out
to members of his C.O. graduating class and pump out an album about the
rough and rugged life of law enforcement. We guarantee it’d be the
realest shit on shelves.

#3: HIT THE GYM AND GET IN FIGHTING SHAPE

• In the midst of his battle with 50, Fat Joe challenged Curtis to a
boxing match saying he couldn’t beat him one on one. Rick Ross could do
the same and promptly end this shit. But, because he’s the size of an
adult Pacific walrus, we suggest he hit the gym first. He already
called himself Kimbo Slice on the mic. He should get down with the
dudes who trained the fellow Floridian (before he got knocked the fuck
out) and then arrange a time and place to whoop 50’s ass.

#2: MAKE HIS OWN VIDEO WITH 50′S BABY MAMA

• Since 50 already threw the “no women, no children” rule out the
window, Ross has no choice but to bring 50’s baby mother, Shaniqua
Tompkins, into the mix of things. Playing off the line in “Mafia Music”
where he talked about 50 burning Shaniqua’s house down, we suggest he
shoot a video where he goes through her new crib and installs various
fire safety equipment. “Yo, dis Ricky Rawse here, ’bout to install that
‘09 First Alert Dual Sensor Smoke Detector. What y’all know about that?
50 don’t know nothing ’bout this right here. RAWSE!”

#1: RECORD AN ACTUAL DISS TRACK ABOUT 50 CENT

• Out of all the things he could have dissed 50 about, we’re not sure
why he chose to focus on him burning his baby mother’s house down. Was
he scared to talk about all the real chinks in 50’s armor? Like, his
canceled MTV reality show, getting outsold by Kanye, his numerous
singles that have flopped, or his roster of failed G-Unit artists? Any
and all of those would make great fodder for a follow up diss track.
The man’s hard to beat, but he’s definitely not invincible.

Inside sources at Def Jam tell us that Island Def Jam Chairman, L.A. Reid has ordered Rick Ross not to call radio DJS or radio personalities regarding the beef with him and 50 Cent. Apparently Def Jam feels like Rick Ross is out there making a fool of himself. While he just launched a brand new single, “Magnificent,”
featuring John Legend, all the attention is focusing on his downward
spiral ever since going at 50 Cent. Sources tell us that Def Jam is not
pleased with the reaction his new single is receiving. A radio single
with John Legend is usually an automatic win, but unfortunately for
Rick Ross, he has only received 126 spins across the country since his
record premiered over a week ago. As of late, everybody that interviews
Rick Ross focuses on his days as a correction officer, his situation with his baby’s mother and 50 Cent instead of focusing on his record.

50 Cent has responded to Rick Ross‘ “48 hour” deadline by promising a career ending strategy aiming to discredit the rapper’s image and launching a cartoon lampooning Ross’s former career as a Corrections Officer.
