50 Cents Dropped By Mark Echo

50 Cent's clothing company, G-Unit Clothing, has officially severed ties with its parent company, Marc Ecko Enterprises, it was announced Friday (February 8).

Rumors swirled that the rapper's four-year-old clothing company was on its last leg with Ecko, and on Friday morning, staffers at G-Unit Clothing were notified that they would be let go.

Earlier this week, hip-hop news maven Miss Info reported on her Web site that 50 would likely retain complete ownership of the brand and attempt to relaunch the line with another manufacturer. A similar situation occurred with Eve's clothing line, Fetish, and Marc Ecko Enterprises. The female rap star's line, however, failed to garner much attention after the split.

The partnership between 50 Cent and Ecko began in spring 2003. As an exploding superstar, 50 entered into a number of business, including a partnership with Reebok and, most famously, a stake in Glacéau VitaminWater.

Recently, a commissioned G-Unit showroom and office for 50 were placed in the Marc Ecko Enterprises compound in New York. It's unknown as of press time whether 50 would continue to work out of the building. Calls placed to representatives for Marc Ecko Enterprises were not returned as of press time.

G-unit's product was good but it wasn't the best. I believe that with all the business that 50 has to look after, he let his clothing business fall by the wayside.

But this may be an oppurtunity for him to relauch his line and give it the attention that it needs to make the money that Phat Pharm and Roca Wear have generated.

What's Really Hood?

I woke up this morning and asked my self whats really hood. I woke up bigup to God.

Then I started to takle my numbers. And started to wonder what is it all for.

After a good amount of soul searching I figured it out. It's all about the journey and not really about the destination.

So, live, love and laugh because some days are going to be good and some bad. I sit and think about all the celebrities who are in trouble with the law and I wouldn't trade places with them for all their money.

Now to answer my question what's really hood? Whats really hood is waking up and realizing that tomorrow will come and it's up to you to make it what you want. The future is never written.

Russell Simmons And Politics

I was browsing BET's web site and came across an interview that Russell Simmons had given.

Most of the civilized world knows who Russell Simmons is. He is a pioneer of hip-hop music, fashion and culture. Mr. Simmons is also an author and a activist. Not to mention wealthy.

So, with all of this information in hand please tell me why Mr. Simmon's has been attempting to reach out to both individuals in the Republican Party and Barak Obama.

Russell Simmons is concerned that the lack of return commication from both party's may be an indication of how the problems of the African-American and poor are going to be handled.

At this point I believe that I agree with Mr. Simmons. Booth party's want the white house but are not prepared to tell us what they will do for us once they are elected.

The Republican and Democratic party's have failed to contact Mr.Simmons. I think that the people who desire to run our nation have forgotten that Mr. Simmons has a large number of the younger voting publics ear.

I would advise both party's to listen to what Russell Simmons has to say.

Pimp C's Death Ruled an Accident

Everyone knows that Pimp C died a few month's ago. His death has only recently been determined to have been an accident. Pimp C died of an apparent lethal mix of perscription cough medicine and a sleeping disorder, said the Los Angeles County Corner's Office.

The Corner's Office also went on to explain that the drugs Promethazine and Codeine often ingredients found in cough medicines are often mixed together with Jolly Rancher candy and alchol to create "Sizzurp" or "Lean".

"Sizzurp" and "Lean" are habits assciated with Houston's "Chopped and Screwed movement".

Cheif Assistant Corner Ed Winter, said that Pimp C did not overdose, but a sleeping order called Sleep apnea played a role in his death.

Sleep apnea occurs when a sleeper actually stops breathing in short spurts.

Pimp C can finally Rest in peace.

New York Giants Win

The New York Giants proved that a well thought out plan and a little faith can make anything happen.

The Giant's started early with a run downfield with the intention of scoring a touch down. After converting 3rd downs into first downs, all they came away with was field goal.

So, the score was 3 to 0 and the Patriots also played well. They scored a touch down and they were up by 4 points. 7 to 3.

The game was stagnant for a while when the Giant's scored again and the score was 10 to 7.

After the Giant,s touch down the Patriots came to life and started a blitz and scored a touch down. The score was Giants 10 and the Patriots 14 in the fourth quater.

But the Giant's didn,t give up even though it was late in the game with 35 minutes left to go, Plaxico scored. The final score was Giants 17 and the Patriots 14.

Eli Manning and his Giant's walked away with a win and reminded everyone watching "it not over until its over".

Bobby Brown's Gone Country

Bobby Brown has a new reality show starting on Feb. 1st. The show is called "Gone Country" and is brought to us by Country Music Television.

The show takes seven performers from various music genres and attempts to mold them into country stars.

Gone Country is Bobby Brown's second reality show. His first was Being Bobby Brown which he Co-Executive produced on the Bravo network in 2005.

Bobby makes it quite clear that he is not leaving music and wants to drop a new R&B CD sometimes next year.

I don't know Bobby your hip-hop but your doing a Country reality show. It could hurt your credibility with your core fans. Could it be your thinking? a pay check is a paycheck.

I wish you luck Bobby.

SuperBowl Sunday

The Superbowl will be played in Glendale Arizona on Feb. 3rd, 2008. The University of Arizona will be where the Patriots meet the NY Giants.

For everyone out there who lives under a rock the NY Giants pulled out a hail Mary upset over Greenbay in the playoffs. But they stuck with it and made it to the Superbowl.

The kickoff is going to be at about 6:20Pm. Now that I have given you all the pertinent information we can plan for the SuperBowl gathering.

Don't forget the snacks, refreshments, and friends. Everyone find a comfortable spot and hunker down.

I am going with the NY Giants because I figure if they won the playoffs, they can do it again.

Oh, they claim the commercials will be unforgetable. We'll see.
