(AllHipHop News) Miami rapper Gunplay a.k.a. “Don Logan,” touched on his latest collaboration with recently released former Hot Boy, Young Turk, who served eight years in a federal prison after a shootout with Memphis S.W.A.T. Team members in 2004.

The rappers recorded the title track for Turk’s new mixtape “Blame it on the System,” and filmed a music video for the single.

Gunplay touched on the respect he held for his Hip-Hop comrade and a similar drive that he held, after being released from his own stint on house arrest in March of 2013.

“He’s got history in this game , he had been incarcerated for a minute…I was fortunate enough to overcome and beat the case [but] we been in the same predicament,” Gunplay explained to AllHipHop.com. “I was blessed to get out of the situation ..I bet Turk learned from his lessons, I bet he evolved and grew as an artist. I hear it in the music. From the time he got out he didn’t skip a beat, he kept working [and] everyone noticed it. I noticed it and that’s what really made me ‘say ok he trying to win.'”

Mark Zuckerberg Once Thought 50 Cent Worked For Him

(AllHipHop News) 50 Cent, born Curtis Jackson, never finished high school but at one point was believed to have been the head of Business Development and Sales at Facebook back in 2005.

How? Ironically, because of Facebook.

When Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin was replaced as the head of Business Development and Sales by Kevin Colleran, Zuckerberg confused the Hopkins School graduate for mega super star 50 Cent due to Colleran’s profile picture of him meeting 5o Cent.

The initial face-to-face encouter between Colleran and Zuckerberg was documented in David Kirkpatrick’s new book The Facebook Effect: The Inside Story of the Company That Is Connecting The World  and reads like a Judd Apatow scene:

Zuckerberg arranged to meet Colleran in front of the Virgin Megastore on New York’s Union Square. Colleran showed up late and was walking toward Zuckerberg when he got a phone call from his new boss. ‘Where are you?’  Zuckerberg asked. ‘Zuck! I’m right in front of you!’ Colleran replied. Zuckerberg looked crestfallen. He thought Thefacebook’s ad salesman was the tough-looking Black guy in the profile photo.

President of Facebook and founder of Napster, Sean Parker informed Colleran that the meeting with Zuckerberg was weird because “we thought you were African-American.”

At the time of their meeting, 50 Cent had already sold over 8 million records with his debut Get Rich Or Die Trying, had one of the most successful radio singles of all time with “In Da Club” and was signed to Dr. Dre and Eminem.
