G-Unit Trying to Start stuff with T.I.

Word is that G-unit may be trying to come at T.I's neck, because he's a supporter of Young Buck!! Apparently a song off the album T.O.S entitled "You So Tough." is their way of saying how they feel.

"This rap shit ain't adding up / How niggas get caught with 10 machine guns, only get 12 months" and "Got the best lawyers that money can buy / They say at best they woulda got me 10 or maybe nine." The last allusion followed, "I said, 'How do you explain how the homie breezed?' They said, 'You keep your mouth shut or you eat the cheese.'”

“While some of the rappers don’t like the fact that Rev. Sharpton has been leading marches against the degradation of women in music, a Gallup poll released last week revealed that Rev. Sharpton has a 50% approval rate among African-Americans. So why dignify a response to one rap artist who doesn’t even say anything substantive," Rev. for Sharpton said.

GAWKER Reveals some excerpt from "Hiding In Hip Hop'

I know you guys remember when i told you about the book Hiding in Hip Hop that's hitting stores May 13th By Terrance Dean? Well some of the people over at GAWKER have gotten their advance copy and they are putting bits and pieces out. So Lets play a little game of guess who..

*Dean's friend Sandy is working on a film with some major stars in it. "The lead was "Lucas," who is a megastar. No matter what film project he was attached to it was bound to be a box office smash. In Hollywood, he is considered a golden boy and very bankable. However, there were already many rumors swirling about his sexuality, and even though he married, it was hard for him to shake those pesky gay rumors."
Every day, Sandy says, Lucas' friend "Kareem, a leading [married] sitcom actor," visits his trailer, where they go inside and—everyone believes—have sex. Dean also says that Lucas runs with a circle of high-level superstar down low types. He later meets Lucas again and finds him to be "smooth, charismatic, and charming," and his wife even brings goodies to the film crew
