Rick Ross, Flo Rida, DJ Khaled, and Trina rep the state of Florida in the new issue of XXL. Here’s the cover, in all its…well, stomach.
XXL is definitely ahead of the game, by doing this because Florida seems to be hip-hop’s hot spot of the moment, especially with newcomers like Ace Hood doing their thing. My only question is where is T-Pain! He should definitely have been on the cover, at least over Trina.

As if we weren’t going to hear from Mr. Curtis “Interscope” Jackson when Fat Joe’s SoundScan numbers were released. In 50 fashion, a mock video surfaced on his community based website ThisIs50.Com, sending off, in what appears to be, Fat Joe’s recording career.
Teary-eyed and all, 50 begins the video with clips from a funeral (unrelated to Fat Joe in any way, just a couple of random clips) and the sounds of the trumpets playing “Taps,” the haunting but famous musical piece played during Military funerals in memory of a fallen solider. 50’s face is shown between each clip. “Fat Joe has passed away, his SoundScan came out. He only sold like, 46,000 copies,” 50 sobbed.
50 even took time to shoot some praise towards Rick Ross for his recent Billboard success, but also issues a semi warning in regards to his close relationship with the Bronx Bomber. “That’s when you know you’re not relevant when you got artists like…(long pause)…Ricky Ross….The BOSS! The Boss is out there looking real good coming in there with that #1 album. He’s from that same little pocket out there in Miami. But he shouldn’t stand next to that fat piece of s*it because you know how I get (starts to throw punches at the camera). You know how I get, right???? Yeah, you know (points to camera).”
Following the enormous digital success to their last mixtape (400,000 copies of Elephant In The Sand were downloaded from ThisIs50.Com), 50 and his comrades are already prepping another follow up entitled, Return Of The Body Snatchers Vol 2.5: Elephant In The Sand & Friends. Peep the cover below!
Is 50 going over board with his “Elephant In The Sand” antics, or is this just a couple rounds of healthy competition? SOUND OFF

So I guess Mr. M.I Yayo wasn’t lying, he truly is the BOSS. Coming in at #1 on The BillBoard 200, Trilla, Ross’s sophomore effort, sold 198,000 units edging out hip hop heavy weights Snoop Dogg, whose Ego Trippin project sold an impressive 137,000 units and Fat Joe’s Elephant In The Room sold a meager 46,000 units despite his public disputes with Papoose and 50 Cent (they say beef sells albums, but I guess not in his case).
Not to take anything away from The Boss’s success, but Ego Trippin was a HELL of an album. You can still hear “All I Have In This World”(a song produced by Mannie Fresh from Rick Ross’s Trilla) thumping out the speakers of the TSX!
What album did you pick up last Tuesday, Fat Joe, Rick Ross, or Snoop Dogg….and why? SOUNDOFF PLEAAAASSSEE!
