[Hip Hop News Now] 50 Cent Challenges Floyd Mayweather

The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge has sparked a nationwide charitable phenomenon.  If you have a Facebook profile, then there is no way you don’t know what I’m talking about.  My Facebook timeline has been flooded with people all across the country accepting the challenge and dumping a bucket of ice water over their heads.  This challenge has created great awareness for the ALS disease and it shows that Americans can work together for something positive.  When I saw that my sister was willing to get her hair wet, I knew that this was something special.

Since this fad first started weeks ago, there have been people from all walks of life dumping freezing buckets of ice water over their heads.  There have also been different variations made to the challenge.  These changes have been typically made from those who already stand out, e.g., celebrities.  Most recently, Hip Hop bully 50 Cent accepted the challenge, but of course he put his own spin on the challenge. 

50 Cent used this challenge to call out the world’s highest paid athlete, Floyd Mayweather.  This challenge, however, doesn’t involve the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.  Let’s just say that there is $750,000 involved and a page from a Harry Potter book.  Check out the video below to find out what 50 has challenged Mayweather with.  Will Floyd accept 50’s challenge?  Let us know what you think.

[Hot New Music!] G-Unit – “Loyal”

50 Cent and the G-Unit have been on a pretty impressive run since reuniting at this year’s Summer Jam festivities.  At first glance I thought that the reunion was just another brilliant scheme by Hip Hop’s biggest bully, 50 Cent.  That may still be the case, but with a November release date scheduled for an upcoming G-Unit album and with the crew bodying tracks left and right, this just may be something special happening right before our eyes.  Either way, it is great for Hip Hop.

In the last month the G-Unit has already tackled Drake’s “0 to 100”, HS87’s “Grindin My Whole Life”, Jeremih’s “Don’t Tell ‘Em”, and more.  Now the Unit is back this 4th of July weekend with their spin on Chris Brown’s “Loyal” track.  This song comes just two days after the Unit dropped a freestyle to YG’s “Who Do You Love” and less than four days after releasing their version of Future’s “Move That Dope.” 

G-Unit is definitely putting in that work and showing that their movement is much more than a game (pun intended).  Check out “Loyal” by G-Unit below and also for your listening pleasures I have included their versions of “Who Do You Love” and “Move That Dope”.  Peep the tracks and let me know what you think.  Feel free to comment via Facebook or Twitter.
