Someone never saw Behind The Music: MC Hammer. Via Daily News:

The free ride is over at 50 Cent’s G-Unit Records. The rap mogul has confessed he was overgenerous with artists on his label. In fact, Fitty spent $8.5 million of his own money to take a lot of the rappers on his most recent tour so that they could bring their entourages – and so that everyone could travel, as he says, “comfortably.” Not only that, he’d hand out hundreds of thousands of dollars to them at a time just for the asking, Sacha Jenkins writes in the new issue of XXL magazine. “Whether I got to give them $500,000 or $300,000 … Just ’cause they want $300,000 more to make what they [are] doing at the time comfortable. Like, ‘yo, I want to get this new place over here.’”

But that’s all over now; Fitty declared he “wouldn’t be assisting them financially anymore.” This came after seeing his artists were “being paid,” yet “[he] was the only person with G-Unit sneakers on” … and also after realizing he needed to invest those Formula 50 cents in lip-syncing lessons.

    “Fitty”? Please! Enough of Anglo-America saying that. I don’t like the guy, but it comes off as just plain dumb.

  4. In the words of Nelson Muntz: ha ha!

    there was nothing worse than listening to Julia Stiles relate an anecdote about “Fitty” calling her to get her on his show.

    okay, there are many things that are worse but it was still painful.

  6. I want to convince someone to just give me $300,000, just once!

    Never saw the Behind the Music, but the MC Hammer VH1 Original Movie was so perfectly shit-tastic. I actually watched it twice.

  11. It is Fiddy, not Fitty. Sheesh.

    I’ve always spelled it Fitty.

    But who the hell cares anymore about Fitty exactly? He’s obviously an idiot.
