“I don’t know how it helps,” said 50 about Kanye’s media outbursts. “The problem, what he’s talking about doesn’t make any… the communication with Sway isn’t going to adjust that.”
“He had some good ideas, but the route was a little wrong,” adds the Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ creator about Ye’s move into fashion.
During the interview 50 also discusses meeting Nelson Mandela, homosexuality, his upcoming boxing event, connecting with SZA, and his Animal Ambition project scheduled for release in early 2014.
“I’m gonna drop it in January. I wouldn’t call it a mixtape because it’s a higher grade than the material I put out on mixtapes,” said 50. “I’m gonna put the Animal project out as my viral marketing plan. The album will come after – Street King Immortal.”

Only reason why n***as is popping, them down south n***as sign any g###### thing. New York dudes, the one time we was rocking, we don’t go for all that. We want our [publishing]. We want all our s**t. So that s**t traveled down south. So dudes started going down there with that bulls**t. But, I like the music personally. I ain’t getting caught up in what dudes be saying, but Trinidad James can knock it off with all that bulls**t. He ain’t saying nothing. N***a signed his life away. He getting 360 deals.

Hip-Hop Rumor: Kanye West Working With “Ralph”?
I know we had the rumor just yesterday about Kanye and why the fashion industry doesn’t mess with Kanye West.
For that, it the link.
But there is something that may be working in Kanye’s favor. Remember when he said “BUT IT AIN’T RALPH THO”??
Yeahhhhhh…that statement referred to the iconic and still living designer Ralph Lauren. I am hearing that “Ralph” is now interested in working with Kanye West on fulfilling his fashion dreams.
I’m just hoping Ralph doesn’t remember when Yeezy Yeezy said, ”
Ralph Lauren was borin’ before I wore him.”
“They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry!” -illseed.

Funkmaster Flex Ready To Air Out R. Kelly Tonight on HOT 97
(AllHipHop News) Tonight (December 9th) at 7pm, Hot 97 could turn into a battle ground as Funkmaster Flex is preparing to call out R. Kelly.
Taking to his personal twitter account, Funkmaster Flex derided the veteran R&B singer for refusing to appear on Hot 97 due to the pair’s storied beef over the years:
I got choice words for R.Kelly tonight at 7pm!!!!! @HOT97!!!
— Funk Flex !!!!! (@funkflex) December 9, 2013
@rkelly he wants nothing with me today at all!!!! F*ck him!!!! Talk that talk out in the open to me????????????
— Funk Flex !!!!! (@funkflex) December 9, 2013
Hot 97’s Program Director and new face of all things controversial, Ebro Darden gave some context to the beef:
So.. @funkflex took a dump on RKelly back when he peed on that girl.. Then after BOBW concert wen TyTy allegedly maced him, he came up.. But
— Ebro el Viejo (@oldmanebro) December 9, 2013
Now he's saying he won't come to HOT97 because of old s###… I am trying to hold the wolves back!
— Ebro el Viejo (@oldmanebro) December 9, 2013
The problems seem to stem from Funkmaster Flex plublicly voicing his distaste for R. Kelly’s 2008 interview with BET following his acquittal of child pornography accusations. During the interview, Kelly questioned what truly constitutes a “teenager” and stated he had 19 year old “friends”.
Check out Funkmaster Flex’s 2008 verbal tirade of R. Kelly following the BET interview below:
