Notorious B.I.G. became a TOP 5 Dead Or Alive MC off the strength of just two albums. A testament to how great his wordplay and delivery was.
Who could have known that a senseless beef with another Top 5 DOA rapper Tupac Shakur would cost him his life?
In this rare interview with Uncle Luke at one of his famous Peeps Shows biggie and Luke chop it up. Along with Lil Cease they talk about the beef, Lil Kim, Biggie's plans to become a millionaire and his forthcoming album 'Life After Death'

Did you guys know today was International Pillow Fight Day?
Well neither did I, but it's a fairly well organized event where large groups of people get together and smack each other upside head with pillows.
Literally hundreds of cities across the world from Boise, Idaho to Warsaw, Poland took part in today's shenanigans.
The event is a part of The Urban Playground Movement.
On their website is a description:
About The Urban Playground Movement
All over the world, groups like us organize free, fun, all ages, non-commercial public events. From a massive Mobile Clubbing event in a London train station to a giant pillow fight near the Eiffel Tower in Paris to a subway party beneath the streets of Toronto, it is clear that the urban playground is growing around the world, leaving more public and more social cities in its wake. This is the urban playground movement, a playful part of the larger public space movement.
One of our goals is to make these unique happenings in public space become a significant part of popular culture, partially replacing passive, non-social, branded consumption experiences like watching television, and consciously rejecting the blight on our cities caused by the endless creep of advertising into public space. The result, we hope, will be a global community of participants, not consumers, in a world where people are constantly organizing and attending these happenings in every major city in the world.
So there you have it, maybe you can catch next year's event.

The next time that you are on holiday in a foreign city and a handsome black man with a bullet hole in his left cheek asks you to take a photograph of him by a fountain, help him out. It could be 50 Cent enjoying his downtime.
“If I get a weekend to myself that’s when I reflect on my life a little,” he says, “that’s when I think: I could easily be dead but God told my ass, ‘No, you ain’t done here yet’.”
In Amsterdam on tour last month the American gangsta rap star woke up in his hotel suite and had an urge for what he calls “a little taste of normalcy”. He threw on a hoody and some sunglasses and gave his ten-strong entourage of minders and managers the slip. 50 Cent then took his first break in days and went for a walk through the streets of the city.
“They got an interesting point of view on the sex industry there,” he notes, almost coyly, which is something of a surprise since the multimillion-selling man known to his friends as “Fiddy” is in negotiations about launching his own range of condoms and sex toys as we speak.
“But I didn’t spend too long in the red-light district. What I really wanted to see was the sights where regular people hang. I don’t want to sound ungrateful but sometimes I just want to feel like no one. In my downtime I don’t want people in my face.”
No one asked for an autograph. No girl asked to feel his “abs”, so hardened by gym workouts that you could grate carrots on them. These are the usual workaday duties of 50 Cent. But the man born Curtis Jackson III blended with the weekday crowd, with his digital camera, unmolested. He walked by the canal. He walked near the red-light district. Finally he found a pleasant square where he took some pictures of buildings and then asked a bystander to take one of himself. “When I get back to my home in Connecticut I put these photos on a map of the world with a pin. I’ve got them from all the places I’ve visited. I’m starting to build up a picture of where I’ve been, who I meet and what I’ve accomplished. I’m kinda making up a history for myself. I want souvenirs of the good stuff. I got plenty from the bad . . .”
Every morning in the bathroom mirror Jackson can see the bullet wound in his face from a drive-by shooting in 2000 in which he was hit nine times. His story is, by now, known well enough. Born in Queens, New York, to a drug-dealing mother, Sabrina, who was murdered when he was 8, Jackson was raised by his maternal grandparents and then became a dealer himself aged 12. But a talent for music drove him to the verge of a record deal. On the eve of signing to Columbia Records came the shooting. Jackson went to hospital. The company pulled out of the deal. Eventually he was signed by the white rap superstar Eminem, and distilled his terrifying urban tale into his 2003 debut, Get Rich or Die Tryin’. It sold 13 million copies and his subsequent output has established him as gangsta rap’s No 1 pin-up.
But offstage Jackson seems to have outgrown the persona. He’s a gently spoken, thoughtful 34-year-old. He’s astute enough to know that he cannot play the thug for ever and his business acumen has already propelled him into new and unexpected terrain.
Perhaps the most astonishing of these ventures is his self-help book, The 50th Law, co-written with the American business guru Robert Greene. In the book Jackson helps to bring the visceral survival instinct of the New York ghetto to the boardroom. Some of it is poignant: “When you’ve been in life-threatening situations you become aware that life is not for ever”; other parts less so: “I don’t regret slashing a rival’s face [as a drug dealer] and other things I’ve done because they make you who you are.”
Today he is slightly less bullish about the book and his boardroom skills. “From childhood my life has been about how to survive,” he says. “That’s not good for children. But it is a skill. It sharpens your mind. You bring that into the boardroom then you cannot fail. When it comes to discussing a risky venture, I know for sure that I am the least-scared man at the table.”
Jackson, who seems so soft and cuddly that you want to take him out and buy him an ice cream, knows that aggression will get you only so far. In fact, hanging out and relaxing is where he stumbled upon his greatest business opportunity of all. The clean-living Jackson, a former amateur boxer and regular gym bunny, says that he always liked a sports drink after a workout. This led him to invest $1 million (£660,000) in the Glacéau Vitaminwater company, which developed a special drink, Formula 50, in his honour. When Coca-Cola bought the company for more than $4 billion he walked away with $100 million.
“Yeah, that was a good day,” he says, laughing. “Some people get thirsty after a workout and leave it like that. I get thirsty and start thinking, ‘Well, if I need a vitamin water then there are probably going be a million other people working out who think the same way, too’. I don’t toot my own horn all the time but ... that’s how a millionaire thinks.”
When I ask him how I can make drinking coffee, eating a croissant and zoning out on a Saturday morning into a multimillion-dollar business opportunity, Fiddy doesn’t miss a beat.
“Own the croissant factory, man,” he says, with a hint of the testy teacher addressing a dozy pupil. “Make sure your croissants are the best. And put your name on them.”
He certainly leads by example. The drinks, video games, trainers and sportswear line, fragrance and body spray, novels (he co-wrote a gangster tale, The Ski Mask Way) and autobiography — and the films and music he puts his name to — mean that he and his beloved 13-year-old son, Marquise, will never want for anything. For him, when he is not touring or recording, that is what weekends are all about.
“I never knew my father,” he says solemnly. “That’s not at all an unusual situation in the projects. You meet a kid with two parents and you witnessing something pretty special in the ghetto. Having a son was a wake-up call to me. You get a chance to do things better, do them right. It’s only now that I can fully appreciate that the circumstances of my childhood were not right. Hustling is not a life for a 12-year-old. But I grew up seeing that as normal. Marquise will not. I like that. I like knowing that he will have something a whole lot better.”
Jackson says that he is currently single. After an acrimonious split with Marquise’s mother, Shaniqua Tompkins (she sued for $50 million without success and then claimed that Jackson burnt down the house that she was living in), he says that he has neither time nor inclination for a proper relationship.
“I don’t have time, and yeah, I think every man wonders if a woman is wanting to have a relationship with him or with his wallet. Men and women are always talking at cross purposes. He’s looking into her eyes. She’s asking about his finances. I’m looking for friendship first, someone that I can have a conversation with. After that it would be her job to make a serene environment to relieve the pressures of the workplace.”
If he met the right woman he says that he might even, as a mark of respect, remove the pole-dancing pole he has in the basement of his home. For now his favourite weekends are spent back in Farmington, Connecticut, with his maternal grandparents, who brought him up after his mother’s murder. The mansion used to belong to Mike Tyson (eerily, the man rumoured to have shot Jackson in 2000 — now dead himself — was one of Tyson’s former bodyguards).
“We talk, we eat, we watch movies. People listen to my music and think I live out on the street corners or there’s the sound of shooting, but I like it quiet. The less people in my face the better. I’m happy being 50 Cent on albums and on stage but back home I’m Curtis. I like that I sleep in Mike Tyson’s old bedroom. That’s a legendary place to get a little nap.”
50 Cent’s single, Do You Think About Me, is out now
Fifty's perfect weekend
Saks suit or tracksuit?
Tracksuit. I can do a suit for a premiere of one of my movies, but at home it feels wrong.

Smoothie. Well, my vitamin water if I really had the choice.
Nike Air Max or Prada loafers?
You can’t shoot hoop in Italian loafers, fool. Nikes.

Gym. I want to stay lean, but I don’t need to be putting my foot over my head and up my nose.
Porsche or Ferrari?
Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead. I bought it as soon as it came out.
McDonald’s or Burger King?
Don’t make me endorse a burger without getting paid.
Quiet night in or red carpet do?
Red carpet if it’s one of my films.
In da club or in da pub?

Water or vodka?
Water. You make bad decisions on anything else.
Organic home-cooked meal or takeout?
Takeout on the weekend, most definitely.
Upstate or downtown?
Both. Downtown on Saturday. Upstate on a Sunday.
I couldn’t get through the weekend without ...

Nappy Boy CEO and Konvict artist, T-Pain, has decided to ditch auto-tune, not to please fans but to give praise.
T-Pain announced in an interview with MySpace Music that his fifth studio album which will be released after "RevolveR" will be a Christian pop album.
"A lot of people don't know this about me," he said, "but I am a deeply spiritual person. Dude, I go to church just as much as I go to the strip club. That's saying something."
The album is tentatively titled "Even Heaven Got a VIP" and will be released on September 9 under his Jive/Nappy Boy umbrella.
The album will be so different that the Nappy Boy president is also shelving his signature Auto-Tune.
"Once that guy from 'Saturday Night Live' started using it, I called on God. I was like, 'Lord, you have to help me, who is this dude!?'," he said referring to his viral hit "I'm on a Boat" with Andy Samberg.
He added,
"I know this album might surprise people, but I am a sensitive guy. I don't sit just around and watch 'Scarface' and drink Henny all day. In fact, I just got through watching 'The Notebook'. You ever seen that movie? That sh@t is beautiful."

Boxer Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr is being sued for allegedly stealing a rapper who was already under contract.
Floyd signed Philadelphia rapper Freck Billionaire to his Philthy Rich Records imprint in 2008.
At the time Floyd says he asked Freck if he was under any type of recording contract with anyone else and was told no.
Enter Just For You Entertainment, a Long Island Management firm that is suing Floyd for interfering with their previous relationship with Freck.
Just For You filed the lawsuit in November 2009 and because Floyd hasn't responded they are seeking a default judgement of $155,000 which will cover their out of pocket expenses on Freck. Including studio time and living expenses for the rapper, as well as child support the rap star owed.
They also seek $600,000 in additional damages.
There's no love lost between Floyd and Freck who have been sending shots at each other via the media.
Floyd spoke to Allhiphop in 2009 and had this to say:
"We were working with an artist named Freck Billionaire. When he came aboard we asked if he had any contracts and he said no. Come to find out he was signed with somebody. The guy was trying to sue us and Freck stole one of our watches and left. So we’ve been looking for Freck Billionaire but he’s been ducking and dodging us. He stole a diamond watch and left."
In response Freck, who is a part of Fabolous' Street Fam recorded a diss track titled "39-1" and told AllHipHop.
"Since you really at the bottom of your heart don't wanna see anyone around you with anything, I'll send a courier to you with my watch. Maybe you can use it to lure in your next victim,"
In the end I doubt Floyd is too worried about the lawsuit. He's set to fight Sugar Shane Mosley on May 1 for a huge multi-million dollar payday.

Seems like maybe one or two basketball prodigies comes along every decade. You had players like Larry Bird and Magic Johnson in the 80's. Michael Jordan and Hakeem Olajuwon in the 90's, Shaquille O'Neal from the early 90's right into this century. While Kobe Bryant and Lebron James have dominated from early 2000 until now.
Could we be seeing the next great player in the form of a 5'1 5th grader?

As previously reported on PaperChaserDotCom. The mother of a 9 year old daughter who witnessed Erykah Badu disrobing at Dealey Plaza in Dallas during the filming of her music video "Window Seat" promised to file charges against the singer.
Yesterday (April 2) Ida Espinosa made good on that promise.
As a result Badu has been charged with disorderly conduct.
Sergeant Warren Mitchell said, "Having a fact witness that was there, is what let us file the charges,"
"After much discussion, we feel that these charges best fit her conduct. She disrobed in a public place without regard to individuals and small children who were close by."
Erykah now has the option of fighting the charges or paying a fine of up to $500.
Witness Ida Espinosa declined to offer a comment.

US neo-soul singer Erykah Badu has been charged with disorderly conduct for stripping naked on a street among pedestrians for her music video shoot.
She ended by re-enacting receiving a fatal gunshot to the head at the spot in Dallas where President John F Kennedy was assassinated in 1963.
Sergeant Warren Mitchell said Badu was charged after a witness offered a sworn statement to police on Thursday.
Badu's spokeswoman had no immediate comment on Friday.
The singer, who was born in Dallas, performed a walking striptease in front of tourists and pedestrians during the shoot in Dealey Plaza on 13 March for her video for the song Window Seat.
Sgt Mitchell added that the police department has had "people calling from all across the country to express their concern".
"Having a fact witness that was there, is what let us file the charges," he said.
"After much discussion, we feel that these charges best fit her conduct. She disrobed in a public place without regard to individuals and small children who were close by."
He said Badu can either fight the charge or pay the fine. Disorderly conduct is punishable by a fine of up to $500 (£328).
Witness Ida Espinosa, 32, declined to comment to The Associated Press on Friday.

A dozen days will pass before the Knicks go underground, before they leave LeBron James and his playoff-worthy peers with a wink and a tweak of a smoky Sinatra line -- excuse us while we disappear.
Another grim Garden season will be complete, and then a city of 8 million point guards will fast-forward past the Finals and the draft and stop dead on the stroke of midnight, July 1, when Knicks president Donnie Walsh makes what could be the biggest phone call in the history of New York sports.
LeBron, this is Donnie. Will you stay or will you go?
Actually, that first call will go to James' agent, Leon Rose. But no rep is making this decision. Only an athlete with a "Chosen 1" tattoo racing across his comic-book back can decide what, exactly, he was chosen to do.
To lead the hometown Cavaliers to a title or three? To save the big-market Knicks from themselves?
James should pick Door No. 2. Win, lose or draw in the playoffs, he should honor the magnitude of his game, his persona and his appeal and do a summer deal with the Knicks that would reduce the sale of Babe Ruth to a story the size of a rosin bag.
No, this isn't to say a start-to-finish career in Cleveland amounts to a bad option. The Cavaliers have been good to LeBron. They've built a consistent contender around him, and, of course, they'll pay him the maximum wage to stay, some $30 million more than the Knicks are allowed to bid.
And let's face it: If Cleveland was good enough for Jim Brown, it should be good enough for LeBron James.
Only it's not quite good enough when measured against New York. This isn't about the pizza, or the weather, or the nightlife, or whatever default positions writers often embrace when elevating one market at the expense of another.
This is about legacy, and one too important to be left in the hands of a New York columnist with an agenda.
Yes, I want to cover the world's best player. Yes, I want the Garden to be the Garden again. Yes, I needed to run into Pat Riley at last month's Big East tournament -- the two of us talking about '93 and '94 and '95 -- to remember what the city was like when the Knicks were playing for a title, even if they didn't win one.
So the pitch to LeBron belongs to more prominent voices, to past and present combatants in the New York arena, to five men from other corners of America and one plucked right off the asphalt of Rucker Park.
They all believe the Chosen One would benefit from choosing the Knicks. Only the former baller from Rucker Park, Donnie Walsh, was prohibited under David Stern's law from saying so.

Lil Wayne has set up a website WeezyThanxYou.com to keep his fans updated on how things are going with him while in prison.
He promises to write each week and answer as many fan letters as possible. Check out his first letter below.
"During my prison stint, I want my fans to know I love you. I want all of you to know that I appreciate all the mail I get, and this is my way of saying thank you. The F is for Family, Friends, and Fans.
Love. Live. Life. Proceed. Progress. That’s who I am and who I’ll always be. You see, we’re all living on borrowed time, so I’m not worried about this situation. Life happens quick. The more time you spend contemplating what you should have done…you lose valuable time planning what you can and will do. Trying to tear down the past prohibits you from building up your future. So for my time here, my physical will be confined to the yard. My love and my spirit, however, know no boundaries.
I’m in good spirits man, for real. My kids race through my mind all day. They know they were created with love, so love is how their life will be defined. I just hope my love and adoration for them provides a temporary bandage on a wound I unknowingly inflicted on them.
Real soon, you can catch me blogging for ESPN again thank you espn for not letting my passion for sports perish. I work out a lot because it helps pass the time. I read the Bible everyday. Jail didn’t make me find God, He’s always been there. They can lock me up, but my spirit and my love can never be confined to prison walls.
But this isn’t all about me, you are the reason for this letter. It’s because of you Rebirth went gold when critics aborted it. It’s because of you Young Money is and will always be a movement. If the weight of the world is on your shoulders, I beg of you, place it on mine. That’s the least I could do for you, after all you have sacrificed for me. If I could, I’d write each one of you back. Because of this, my team and I have created a website where you can view my letters. Each week I’ll answer as many questions as I possibly can.
For real, this will be the best way we can communicate for the coming months. The same way yall miss me, I miss yall, only 100 times more. To those who hate. Hate is only a form love that hasn’t found a way to express itself logically. Keep sending the letters and I promise keep responding. Thank YOU, thank YOU, thank YOU. No matter what they do to erase me, my love for you will always be permanent. Remember that. Take care. God bless."

Recently, Weezy explained the idea behind Weezythanxyou.com, which will basically serve as his gate way to the free world. The site will allow the Young Money quarterback to post daily status updates as well as answer fan questions. “I wanted to do something for my fans, so they know I am still with them and that I love them very much,” Wayne told me not too long ago. Fans who want to keep up Weezy’s release date will allowed to see a continuously running countdown clock until Dr. Carter returns home later this year.

Give me the patience that I need
To keep my piece of mind,
And with life’s cares, I hope, Dear God,
Some happiness to find.
Give me the courage to face life`s trials
and not to from troubles run.
let me keep this thought in mind.
