50 Cent is back to his old antics again. Every time an album drops, he has to pick a new rapper to target, and this time it looks like he's picked T.I.
Hot 97's gossip queen, Miss Info, recently sat in on a listening session for G-Unit's T.O.S. (Terminate On Sight), and upon listening caught some shots at the King of the South.
According to Miss Info, on the song "You So Tough," 50 Cent's verse goes a little something like this:
"Now-a-days, this rap sh** ain't adding up / How n****s get caught with 10 machine guns, only get 12 months? / Oo-weee, don't talk to me. If you talking to him, you talking to them / I got the best lawyers that money can buy ... they say at best they woulda got me 10 or maybe 9."
That seems to be an obvious swipe at T.I., regarding his arrest last year for federal gun charges.
In March 2008, the rapper pled guilty as part of a plea deal and received 1,500 hours of community service, which will be followed by 12 months behind bars. T.I. faced a maximum of 10 years in prison.
Where this diss from 50 goes from here, we don't know yet.
T.O.S. (Terminate On Sight) is slated for release July 1.
