Game To Respond To 50 Cent Diss


Do we really have to go through this all over again?! Game is set to diss 50 Cent once again after the Street King recently took shots at the Compton rapper on a recent freestyle.

Can't Lil Wayne jump on the diss just to make it a little more interesting? Check out the video above for 50's original diss directed at Game and Wayne.

T-Pain Adds Voice Effect To New 'T-Pain Mic'



Rapper/Singer T-Pain is widely recognised for his extensive use of the vocoder effect named ‘Auto-Tune’ yet since T-Pain burst on the scene with his debut single ‘Im Sprung’, the musician has built the auto-tune effect into a franchise, even releasing a number 1 ‘Most Downloaded’ iPhone app named ‘I Am T-Pain.

But T-Pain will not stop there as it has been recently announced that Pain will release his ‘T-Pain Mic’ in Kid’s stores ‘Toys R Us’ and ‘K-Mart’ across the US. Speaking exclusively to Reuters, Teddy Pain said "A lot of kids don't have cell phones, (so) in order to reach everyone, I'm taking it to where it can be a toy," said the Grammy-winning artist and producer. "They sell out every week. This was far beyond my expectations."
The singer has fallen under a lot of heat by using auto-tune yet this does not seem to bother the artist who states the effect re-constructs the tone of your voice but cannot buy you a singing career. Those are very true words!
The rapper is by no means the only one selling a microphone using voice modification technology. The makers of Bratz dolls have one, too, but T-Pain says he is not bothered by the competition.
"I don't care," said the rapper, who turns 26 years-old on Friday. "People will figure out which is better. I'm pretty sure there's no grown-ups buying Bratz toys to get that mic. I have no problem."

Will Smith Drops $19.5M On Real Estate


Hollywood actor and rapper Will Smith's New York City rental apartment during the filming of 'Men in Black III' has reportedly hit the 19.5 million dollars mark in the NoHo real estate market. According to Zillow, The 25 Bond Street, NYC apartment covers 7,300-square feet and has five bedrooms and six and a half bathrooms (who has half a bathroom?).

The 'Wild Wild West' star rented the apartment along with his wife and kids at the end of 2010 while he was filming the third sequel of the Men In Black franchise, the New York Daily news reported.
There are four working fireplaces, a kitchen with "2 of everything" and wall space for even a very large art piece.

With all this money Will Smith’s spending as of late, ‘Men In Black III’ better be the best movie I’ve ever seen.

Side Note: I had a picture of the apartment but its too big to fit on the post comfortably but it’s a big mutha-shut-it-like-Shaft.
