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.

Britain's Cure For Economic Slow Down



In the UK, our Government is a bit backwards when it comes to helping the economy, helping the pound sterling or battling knife crime, but this perhaps the stupidest one yet.
"Now it is time to put Britain back in the fast lane of global economies and look again at the motorway speed limit which is nearly 50 years old, and out of date thanks to huge advances in safety and motoring technology," Transport Secretary Philip Hammond said.
The speed limit on Britain's motorways is 70 miles per hour (120 kph), lower than in many countries in continental Europe.
"Increasing the motorway speed limit to 80 mph would generate economic benefits of hundreds of millions of pounds through shorter journey times. So we will consult later this year on raising the limit to get Britain moving," Hammond said.
The government is seeking ways to boost a faltering economy without breaking with its austerity plans.
Its "drive faster" plan was condemned by environmentalists who said it would lead to increased oil consumption and carbon emissions. Hammond said he was confident higher speeds would have only a marginal effect on road safety.

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."
