My favorite part is hearing the name "Shaniqua" in a French accent. In case you're wondering, 50 won the case and Shaniqua has until June to get off his property, heres the video below.... MORE

We've all known it since September, but now the artist himself has come out and confessed that maybe his last album wasn't up to par. 50 called his latest album Curtis "a dud" last week during a video blog, and MTV asked him if he still stood by his statement.
"It was," he said at his office, located directly one floor above two clubs he has in the house. "It was a blockbuster that I lit, and it didn't explode. I felt like it should have went a lot further than the result... MORE
