Here’s the interview 50 Cent did with ABC News. They don’t break any new ground other than that Fifty lives in Farmington, CT. It’s entertaining nonetheless.

Dame Dash reacts to the Jay-Z/Beanie Sigel beef and apparently he’s rocking to a different tune these days, not to mention the Urkel glasses he swagger jacked from Hov.

Beanie Sigel and 50 Cent appear together for an interview on Power 99 to discuss the Beanie/Jay-Z beef. From my perspective this looks like Fifty is just being an opportunist getting into the situation to throw rocks at Jay-Z, but that’s just me. Fifty also implies that Jay-Z stopped Beanie Sigel from getting a $800k record deal with an undisclosed label.

Sigel also responds to Jay-Z’s press conference comments about being giving two Bentleys, getting a record label and a clothing line. As well as being “rejected” by Jay-Z during his bail hearing.

Listen Here.

Since me and my friends are still talking about who out did who at the BET Hip Hop Awards Cipher, here’s a behind the scenes look.

50 Cent talks about the Jay-Z vs Beanie Sigel beef as his name was brought up by Beanie Sigel as someone that takes care of his artist. He also talks about Before I Self Destruct leaking and his past feuds with Rick Ross and Tia’s photoshoot.

Jay-Z has responded to Beanie Sigel’s accusations that he didn’t “push” him as hard as 50 Cent did Game while at a concert stop in Montreal, Canada. Here’s what he said:

Beanie Sigel had a record deal, a record label and a clothing line and NEVER WENT PLATINUM. I don’t know in the history of rap has anyone done so much with so little. If that’s not pushing a person..sh*t.

- Jay-Z.

Here’s more from the Montreal press conference where Jay-Z talks about surpassing Elvis and growing as an artist.

Beanie Sigel goes in on Jay-Z. Apparently, Beanie Sigel is upset with Jay-Z for a number of reasons:

1) At Sigel’s hearing the judge asked Jay-Z to take responsibility for Sigel’s whereabouts, and Jay-Z said “no”.
2) Jay-Z didn’t give him the proper marketing to sell more records like how 50 Cent gave G-Unit “hit singles”. Beans wonders why Jay-Z was never on his singles.
3) Jay-Z didn’t visit Beanie Sigel when he was in jail in 2003, but 50 Cent came to visit his uncle every month, even though Fifty was much busier selling 10 million records.
4) He feels Jay-Z owes him a conversation or more particularly a schooling on “how to get money” (i.e. get an accountant, lawyer, etc.)

Since I don’t think Joe Buddens as very much to do these days, he’s talking about how the feud with Jay-Z started. Interesting story nonetheless.

I do remember when I heard Jay’s Pump It Up freestyle and I was thinking like “damn imagine Jay-Z had that beat?”.

Yeah it maybe “harder” but it sure as hell won’t be better.

As you probably are aware Shyne was to be released from prison last Tuesday October 6th, however, because of some confusion regarding his immigration status he is still being held in custody. Officials are determining whether or not to deport Shyne back to his native country of Belize, where his dad is the Prime Minister.

Shyne’s lawyers will be continuing the fight to get Shyne back into the country, and his legal team as well as Harvard Professor Charles Ogletree are urging fans to petition Governor Patterson to have Shyne’s deportation decision reversed.

In short, it looks like we’re never going to get a Shyne album ever again.

I’m not sure how true this is but Lil Wayne claims that because his handlers refused them a night with Lil Wayne, they shot up his tour bus.

Diddy has been looking for a home for Bad Boy Entertainment for a while and being the hustler he is, he managed to get them in cahoots with Interscope. Also being the attention whore he is, he did a blog with the suits over at Interscope to announce the deal. The Game also makes a guest appearance.

As if DMX hasn’t gone through enough, he’s schedule to fight on the undercard against Eric Martinez, who is apart of DMX’s management. I suppose this is just a “fun bet” to settle something or another since DMX can’t use his dogs for entertainment anymore.

The match is scheduled for December 12th. Peep out the flyer.

Raekwon, Ghostface and Method Man are apparently doing an album together and here Raekwon gives us a little insight into it. I suppose its because the three of them don’t like working with Rza too much and are all the most successful Wu members. Makes sense.

50 Cent sends another warning about listening to Fat Joe’s music. I didn’t even remember Fat Joe had any music coming out until I saw the first one.

MTV talks to Royce Da 5′9″ about Slaughterhouse signing to Eminem’s Shady Records (because after all we did see them in the Forever video together). Even though Royce doesn’t confirm the rumors he does mention they are in “talks”.

On a side note, I’ve always thought our once beloved Joe Budden would be great on Shady, hopefully Slaughterhouse allows him to develop a relationship over there.

Here’s the video for the song Birdman jacked from Drake for his album Priceless. And I know how much you all are looking forward to a new Birdman album.

Jay-Z made an appearance on BBC’s The Price of Fame to talk about his greatness. The best part about this interview is when the interviewer asks, “Would you decriminalize drugs” and Jay-Z does his best to avoid answering -for obvious reasons. Peep it.

Was there any surprise that Jay-Z’s The Blueprint 3 wouldn’t hit #1 on Billboard? In it’s first week alone, BP3 pushed 475,670 units. Not only are the numbers impressive but this also makes Jay-Z the first solo artist EVER to have 11 #1 albums. “Jigga held you down 11 summers damn!”.

In other album sale news, Raekwon’s Only Built For Cuban Linx 2 sold a cool 67,625 albums, which I guess isn’t bad for having no mainstream singles. In fact if you compare it to Slaughterhouse’ dud which dropped a few weeks back, there only at 33,180 copies. Me thinks Royce, Joel and Crooked I are going to be kicking out Joey out soon.

Fab’s album Loso’s Way, which is the most generic album in rap history, sold a little over 200k. Honestly, Fabolous needs to call it quits, he ain’t no artist.

Kanye West made a special appearance on the first episode of the new Jay Leno Show to apologize to Taylor Swift for crashing her acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV VMAs. I didn’t know whether to laugh or feel for Yeezy during this, you’ll see what I mean. Check out the clip below.
