50 Cent Exposes French Montana

Remember back in '09 when the 50 Cent/Rick Ross beef was ablaze? If so, you may recall a video 50 released called A Psychic Told Me, which had had footage of DJ Khaled's mom's house and of her asleep at work. Well, according to 50, that footage was supplied by none other than friend of MMG, French Montana. Explosive!

It's a good thing French decided to sign with Bad Boy instead of MMG because we could've had an Alfamega situation on our hands. For French's sake, I hope it's not true, but 50 has never been known to be a liar.

Thursday Billboard Update - 7/19/12

Frank Ocean's Channel Orange debuts at #2 with 131,000 sold, just behind the Zac Brown Band's Uncaged with 153,000 sold. Frank Ocean's sells mostly came from iTunes, as his physical CD only sold about 3,000 copies. If his newfound fans were looking for a place to direct their anger, Amazon would be that place because they offered the Zac Brown Band's album for only $3.99 all week, which helped them surpass Frank for the #1 spot. Just putting it out there.

The big news on the Hot 100 is P!nk's Blow Me (One Last Kiss) soaring 58-9 in it's 2nd week on the charts. Also entering the top 10 is Flo Rida's Whistle, which rises 5 spots 12-7.

Wale & Meek Mill - Actin Up (feat. French Montana)

Some newness off of MMG's Self Made 2 album dropping June 26th.

Wale & Meek Mill - Actin Up (feat. French Montana)

Can't wait to hear the radio edit if they decide to push this as a single.

Anyway, this song it self definitely isn't as hard as it should be. The track is incredible, and the verses were fine, but that hook was lazy as fuck. "Deez hoes be actin' up, deez hoes be actin' up, deez hoes be actin' up, and deez niggas be lettin' 'em." That's it? Uhh, okay then...

Jadakiss - Paper Tags (feat. Wale, Styles P & French Montana)

Jadakiss first announced his new mixtape Consignment late last month and now we're getting our first offering from it. It won't be the last because the "Gansta Grillz" 'tape will be dropping this Friday April 27th.

Jadakiss - Paper Tags (feat. Wale, Styles P & French Montana) (Alt. Link)

Hard body, as to be expected. I'm assuming this record is old (a Rick Ross throwaway maybe?) because French Montana says, "Double-M-G, we got the streets locked," on the hook, and obviously he decided to sign with Bad Boy. Whatever, I just can't wait for this 'tape!

XXL's 2012 Freshmen Class Revealed

I can't decide if it's a good or bad thing that I can't identify half of the people on this cover. Oh well, I'm positive it's a bad thing I can identify Roscoe Dash, that nigga's first single came out about 2 or 3 years ago. Maybe the Shop Boyz will be on the 2012 cover?

French Montana Feat. AR & Cassidy - City Of Dreams

This track is really nothing to write home about, but you can check out the video anyway if you like. Oh and just a heads up, AR has the hardest verse.



Wow, I can't believe Cass ended his verse with: "I need food for the tummy, man. So I got to Cocaine City where it jump like a bunny, man." LMAO! He had a pretty decent verse, but that ending was just weak lol.

Oh and what was up with dude getting shot in the face at 1:26?? What did that have to do with anything?? lol.
