Gillie Da Kid praises 50 Cent 2007-03-06 16:27:00 Quick News: All the time you hear about fools in the Hip Hop game dropping bombs on each other, but it's rare to see the other side with the positivity and all. Well, according to SOHH, Philly native, Gillie
Da Kid, is singing the praises of 50 Cent. Apparently, when Gillie was locked up on a recent drug charge, 50 came to see him in jail. This is what Gillie had to say about the whole situation, "Shout out to 50, a real nigga, he came and reached out to a nigga in jail...I fucks with real niggas, you a real nigga homie. You Suge Knighted the whole situation, reached out to me when I'm in jail at a low point. I don't give a fuck what a nigga got to say about you, you a real nigga...You got any of these young niggas you need me to mop up for you, it ain't about nothing, you hear me."Was this attempt a sincere one for 50, or was it just another attempt at luring the G to the G-unit camp?

Foxy Brown pay your damn tab!! 2007-03-05 17:12:00 Everytime I hear about Foxy in the news, it just further verifies that not only is this bitch a drama queen...she's a real lush and this next report proves that. Based on a story by SOHH, Ms. Brown
has allegedly been banned from all Junior's Restaurant in NY because of her non-paying ways and rude behavior. As the manager Alan Rosen states, "She comes to Junior's because she likes the food, but she doesn't want to pay for it. She tries to skip out on checks and she's not polite."He also goes on to imply that's she can be a rude bitch as well. He says,"None of the waiters want to serve her because she's known for cursing out people...I think she needs therapy. She's been coming in for years, and it's always a little drama." In closing, Foxy you're not a gangster...go use some of that energy and make a hit for a change.
