Exclusive Preview “Food For Thought: Conversations With 50 Cent” from LowKey on Vimeo.

I’m looking forward to the 2nd installment of BET’s interview series “Food for Thought,” this time pairing 50 Cent with Angie Martinez, Harry Allen and Stephen A. Smith. The show airs tonite at 7:30pm, but along with 50’s much ballyhooed comment about “Mr. Knowles,” in this clip we see Fif telling Angie what songs he wished were his over the years….2 of them, I get. The last one? LOL. (thnx to Lowkey)

Previously: Food For Thought with Jay-Z

Mikey: With BISD in stores now, Fif is taking his wit and charisma all over late night television. Tuesday night it was Conan and last night, Fifty did Jimmy Kimmel performing “Do You Think About Me”, which is one of the few tracks off BISD where Curtis talks openly about his past  relationships with the opposite sex, “It’s like Paul McCartney stuck in my head, fell in love with a b-tch walked away with one leg.” (props to Yardie)

Zach: “Does anyone ever tell you, you seem like the black Byron Allen?…”

I hadn’t watched any of Zach Galifianakis’s “Between Two Ferns” interview series on Funny or Die until I saw this clip today on EW’s PopWatch blog. How did I miss this all this time? I know how…because Zeus was waiting for this special day to rain absolute hilarity on my crappy mood. So  I’ve spent the past 30min. watching these clips, and now I’m fully ready to hit the streets again and be my normal moderate-to-very grouchy self! Sunshine!

But seriously, these are awesome. I posted a couple other favorites after the jump…including Zach with Natalie Portman, and Zach with Bradley Cooper (The Hangover), and Zach with John Hamm (”Mad Men”)

honestly, I cringed when I saw the footage of Manny’s Filipino film venture in the most recent HBO “24-7″ series leading up to last weekend’s gory Pacquiao vs Cotto fight. It looked beyond embarrassing. But now watching the finished trailer…it looks more campy than clown-y. And according to ChannelAPA, the “Wapakman” satire is being compared to Stephen Chow’s ‘Kung Fu Hustle,” which (along with my other Chow favorites, like “God of Cookery” and “Shaolin Soccer,”) was hilarious and fun. We’ll see, but that’s setting the bar super high. Either way, the contrast of Pacman the deadly weapon vs Manny the karaoke-singer, always cracks me up.

(ps: also, Nicole from the Pussy Cat Dolls is in the movie too…..um. random)

Broadway/Thisis50 just posted footage of Beanie Sigel in the studio and transcribed these lines that Sigel spit…again towards Jay-Z.

“You in the hall already/on the wall already./ Youse a work of art/man, this boy all petty./Type to not feed no workers/cuz he grubbed already./Noodles, I had the sauce we coulda made spaghetti./ But i’m a shine on my own/ i’m a star already./Lost the best of both worlds/he coulda called R Kelly.”

Related: Dame Dash tells Mixtape Monster that he’s “surprised” by the position that Beanie took.

Mikey: Here’s a HQ video of Alicia Keys performing “Empire State of Mind II” in NYC last night. The hook doesn’t change so much, but A.Keys really breathes new life into the NY Anthem. (props to Illionaire/UHTN & Goodfella Radio)

Mikey: Kanye isn’t on some spiritual journey in India or whatever their saying, he’s “standing next to Jay who’s standing next to B” in London. Watch Hov also make a guest appearance with his wifey after the jump. (spotted at RealTalkNY)

Mikey: Dame Dash recently sat down with MixtapeMonster and gave more details about what  he felt went wrong with the Rocafella empire. He explains how he “spoiled” his artists, and his disappointment with the brand today, also breaking down his relationships and views on everyone from Kanye, Beans, Jay, Jimmy, and Cam. Obviously, there was alot of editing here, but Dame seems surprisingly honest about his true feelings and past dealings with his former/current peers. (props to MixtapeMonster via RR)

“I’m very dissapointed in where Rocafella went… the brand is compromised I never that that could ever happen where the brand is just not relevelant… Lyor is a funny dude… he’s a mastermind, brilliant and not scared… but I think his influence broke up Rocafella.”

New Music: Birdman featuring Drake and Bun B “Mo Milly” (from Baby’s upcoming Priceless album, more at Nahright)

New Music: Gucci Mane “Lemonade” (Produced by and inexplicably leaked early by Bangladesh) I like this sing-song chorus. Reminds me of a Cam beat for some reason.

New Freestyle: Joe Budden “Russian Roulette”

(and yes, Joe addresses his girl problems)

New Music: Jim Jones “Hit Em Up” (off his upcoming Ghost of Rich Porter mixtape)

New Music: Birdman featuring Lil Kim, Nicki Minaj “Grindin’ Making Money” (see Nation’s questions)
