In the late 1990’s and early 2000’s several noted MC’s name dropped him from Big Pun to Nas (“Millionaire look at the sky make sure it’s still there/Ice grill stares and my jewelry is in every year/Pierre Cardin back in a Dapper Dan time/Now flex, angle wrecks, Foxy rock Anne Klein”) on “...

Captain Obvious?: Rick Ross Says 50 Cent Is Washed Musically [Video]
Source: Paras Griffin / Getty It seems disrespect dies hard with Rick Ross. Rozay recently made it clear that he is still not checking for one of his former foes. As spotted on HipHopDX the Miami MC holds nothing back when it comes to interviews. In a recent Q&A with the I Am Athlete podcast he discussed a myriad of topics surrounding his businesses, health and of course his music career. During the conversation with Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson he was asked if he would face off with 50 Cent in a Verzuz battle. As expected the “Gold Roses” rapper kept a buck about Fofty’s skills in the present day. “Would it really be entertaining, music wise?” he asked in return. “You know, I’m a real dude. 50 Cent had some huge records when he had the biggest producers and artists around and was put...

Master P & Baron Davis Interested In Buying Reebok From adidas For $2.4B
Source: REEBOK / Reebok With Nike and adidas basically reigning supreme in the sports attire arena of the game, it looks like Reebok’s about to undergo a major change. Their parent company, adidas, is looking to cut ties with the struggling OG sneaker brand and keep it moving, sparking interest from known entities. According to Forbes, the German sportswear company has decided to put Reebok on the market due to the lack of interest the brand has garnered over the years, but don’t expect the home of Shaquille O’Neal’s signature Shaqnosis’s silhouette to come cheaply either. Even with the struggles that Reebok has experienced over the decades on the street market (can’t resell a pair of Reebok’s to save your life out here), the asking price for the company is said to hover around a cool $2.4...

Knowing he had to make that lifestyle change that many refuse to commit to (addiction is the worst), Montana chose his...
