You have to admit Fifty with the tear drop is the funniest thing that’s ever happened in hip hop. Point blank period. I think it’s right up there with Jigga plastering ballerina P all over the summer jam screen years back. See what people are afraid to admit is Fifty knows how to market. He is the greatest promoter rap has ever seen. How else can you explain how he got everyone in G-Unit platinum plaques (except Yayo, who for the record isn’t that bad)?
People always ask me whats the best way to make money without doing anything illegal? Well, before I got into “legit” hustling, I was doing a lot of petty things such as selling bootlegg dvds and mixtapes (and things I can’t really say here). That was until, a friend of mine, asked me, “Why don’t you try the stock market?” My first reaction was to be scared as I had no clue about how stocks worked as they seemed all very mystical to me. It’s hard to describe the feeling, think of it like when someone tells you to try something you have never heard of before and the only “knowledge” you have on the subject comes from little bits of hearsay you’ve heard in the past. Since I’ve always had a open mind and have a good appetite for risk, I decided to investigate further -as any true hustler would.
I received this question from one of our readers, named Mike, here’s what he wanted to know,
“Hi YoRapper,
I just purchased some really cheap tickets to the Kanye West Glow in the Dark concert from your site and I had one question. I am a 42 year old dad and I am taking my 14 year old daughter and 13 year old son to the Kanye West concert here in Los Angeles. I just would like to know how should I dress?
Thank you,
Mike”
Last night, while waiting for the primary election results, I wanted a quick laugh so I decided to look up some “KKK-white power-neo nazi” kind of websites. After some google’ing I came across a “white pride” message board run by the group known as “Stormfront”. This message board was filled with all kinds of hate and ignorance as to be expected and I did get a good laugh out of it, I did, however, find some interesting things about these “folks” that I think you will all find kind of interesting.

Elliot’s Jump Off “Kristen”
This whole Elliot Spitzer paying for hoes has brought prostitution to the mainstream, wait didn’t Pretty Woman do that? Anyway, this whole “scandal” got me thinking, would I pay for sex if I had a family and was the governor of New York. Right away, my first reaction is hell no. I have a strict policy of not paying for sex, lap dancing or just spending any money on a chick for sexual favors (MOB). And it’s not because I have some high morality, but mostly because I’m a cheap bastard and would rather game a chick to do all that good stuff to me (I have such an ego). But let’s put ourselves in Elliot’s size 9 pair of Hermès loafers.
I really think Fat Joe messed up with this latest album, Elephant in the Room. Not because it was a bad album, at best it was average, but because this was a key moment in his career to prove he could make a classic album in the post-classic era (and ironically would no longer be the elephant in the room). This really could have been his Blueprint. Why?
Today I want to get yall fools opinion on mate selection, particularly on the question of whether to wife a trophy chick or a good chick. The question breaks down into do you want a women that looks good or a women that is good for you?

Have you ever noticed that the most successful people are also the ones who have the most successful relationships? Sure, there is a period when they are “young” and on the “come up” that they may go through a divorce or break up or two or three or four, but after they become “settled” in to their new found wealth, self-made people try to find someone to share it with. And it shouldn’t come as a surprise, they usually find it. Look at Jay-Z and Beyonce they been going out for the last 5 years or something, all after Jigga finished big pimpin’. But does the reverse hold true as well that unsuccessful people have unsuccessful relationships?
