50 Cent took over New York City last night with his MySpace album release show at Highline Ballroom. Big thanks to Roslynn, Randy and Earl from MySpace who set up the event and hooked us up with the best seats in the house. 50 Cent rocked the crowd for over an hour performing his classic hits as well as songs from his new album Before I Self Destruct, he also welcomed special guests to the stage including his G-Unit crew and Beanie Sigel.

Tonight (Tuesday, November 24th) MySpace will be airing the show so make sure you tune-in to myspace.com at 9PM ET/6PM PT and also check out myspace.com/50cent to hear all his music.

50 Cent’s new album Before I Self Destruct has been dominating the iTunes charts this week and tonight MySpace will celebrate the release with a party to end all parties at Highline Ballroom in New York City. 50 Cent will be on hand performing his hits along with songs from his new album. It also turns out that this will be MySpace’s 50th album release show, how appropriate right? If you are in NYC and would like to attend the show head down to Highline Ballroom and pick-up your free tickets starting at 12 noon today, Monday, November 23! The show will kick off at 8PM, you must be be 21+ to attend, and entry can only be obtained by picking up a ticket at Highline Ballroom or RSVPing to hiphoptix@myspacemusic.com.

A lot of complaints have been said about hip hop, about everything from its glorification of drugs, money, guns and violence to its degradation of women. But never has anyone argued that rap is just too, what’s the word?, gay. Until now. Our friends over at Cracked.com have put their journalism degrees to the test by investigating the dark world of unintentionally gay rap lyrics. From 50 Cent to Ice-T (and back to 50 Cent again), nobody’s safe from their lyric-Googling powers. Though I’m a bit worried about the safety of the Cracked staff – those guys might be in for a beat down.

The expo is finally over. All the producers and designers can breathe a sigh of relief and get back to making games instead of pimping them. All in all I felt, as an outside observer, that the show left me slightly wanting. There was no groundbreaking news, no giant promises, and no real blockbuster game announced that we didn’t already know about.

The Nintendo Talk

Nintendo is about making cash. Which isn’t a bad thing. Unless you’re a serious hardcore Nintendo gamer fan boy who wishes they’d remake Zombie’s At My Neighbors for the Wii.I wouldn’t say they are done with hardcore games altogether, but the order of the day is definitely casual stuff, and their talk certainly said that. They did introduce some new hardware for the Wiimote that promised more accurate movement…and then used it to throw a Frisbee to a dog in Wii Sports 2. (more…)

It’s pretty obvious that 50 Cent and Timbaland have most likely dabbled in various “performance-enhancing” drugs – but R&B singer Mary J. Blige? What good could possibly come out of Blige taking ‘roids?

I’m baffled…and intrigued!

The Times Union reported that Blige and the other celebs in question used fake names to order and pick up prescriptions in Florida from Dr. Gary Brandwein, who was tied to the steroid scandal involving deceased WWF wrestler Chris Benoit.

Wyclef Jean and Tyler Perry have also been named as steroid users in the article, but who cares? I can’t get over Mary J. “Not Gon’ Cry” Blige. Seriously: if it’s true I’ll be floored and very confused. Couldn’t she just take coke and pills like any other maladjusted superstar?

Nothing confuses me more than singers like Blige (and Whitney Houston too, for that matter) that release these inspirational songs that middle-aged moms go nuts over, just to debunk their own myth by plummeting deep into drugs, depression and overall indecency.

It’s a funny world we live in, folks.

Kanye West – Graduation

Tighter, shorter disc
Makes for more consistency;
Less visionary

Some criticism:
Too braggy and boasty (duh);
Whiny and preachy

Mr. West is best
At sampling oddities (Can!)
So tune in, drop out

Kanye West and 50 Cent’s ego-tastic battle of the record sales kicked off yesterday, with industry insiders placing Mr. West ahead of 50 in the early runnings. Still, it’s too early to confirm any numbers until Soundscan chimes in.

Further hyping the hype (if that’s even possible) is Kanye canceling his face-off with 50 live on MTV due to his dissatisfaction with the network after the VMAs didn’t go as he planned (no main stage performance, no awards won).

But forget all that: Fiddy isn’t going to quit the music business, and Kanye isn’t going to boycott MTV for very long. All this media hoopla boils down to selling records, plain and simple. (more…)

Last night the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards proved that a large chunk of the entertainment world is ruled by talentless hacks.

From technical difficulties (did anybody sound-check anything beforehand?) to only showing snippets of live performances by music’s heavy-hitters at various locations around Las Vegas – Kanye, five-times snubbed out of awards last night, is reportedly through with the VMAs after his performance was butchered by execs – MTV has fully transformed into a Metric Ton of Visuals.

The highlights lowlights:

Britney’s show-opening, pace-making, stupefying, phoned-in performance of her single “Gimme More.” Even Spears’ super-fans were stunned by her carelessness. As for the “magic” of Criss Angel assisting Brit? Smoke and mirrors, I guess – just like Brit herself.

Sarah Silverman’s harsh put-downs of Brit left the room in a deep silence. F***ing everybody looked away when the camera panned to them after any of Silverman’s barbs towards Brit. Just one more example of celebs having all the money and power in the world and doing nothing short of saving face. Despicable.

Check out the video link (and more pics) of Brit’s performance after the jump.
