Had to shout-out our girl Teyana Taylor on this one. You should already know the deal, but we're gonna tell you anyway: you wanna be a star? Up your Google results. Six Mics is number two, so you know we gotta work on that. Don't sleep on your Search Engine Optimization game! And don't hate on our girl because she beat you to the punch, making that Google Me shit when she was 16.
Update: You already know who's got the first seven results for best rapper alive. Who's gonna try to take that belt?
We learned today via our friend Perez that Fitty is apparently starring in a movie with Val Kilmer. We'd be more than happy if Curtis gave up rapping for acting and we never had to hear another 50 Cent album. Of course Curtis is following in a long line of terrible rappers who went on to act including Kid 'n Play, DMX, LL Cool J and Ja Rule.
You already know how we feel about Rick Ross, but we've gotta agree with Nah Right on this one. Marrying Foxy Brown is definitely not a strong career move, Ricky. Now we know we already told you to marry an R&B singer, but the same just don't go for a female rapper. And it definitely doesn't apply for someone with such a long rap sheet of crazy shit as the Ill Na Na. Thank God Wayne smartened up before he married Trina. Who knows what kind of damage that could have done to the best rapper alive.
We feel like we can't really say anything about Wayne that hasn't been said in the past couple of weeks. But we will say this: can there be any doubt that dude is the best rapper alive? A million sold in one week? Amazing. Young rappers: adjust your sites accordingly.

Rumor has it consistently ridiculously dressed super-producer Scott Storch is broke. Maybe you didn't need all those yachts after all Scotty. And really you can only drive one Bentely at a time anyway. As hard as we're sure this has been on Scotty; its been effecting us at Six Mics too. Apparently his financial situation has been effecting Storch's production. When we heard Scott Storch was teaming up with the Clipse for their latest single, we were understandably excited. Somehow though Fast Life is kind of a bomb. Sure its an average song, but we just expected better. Get your paper right Scotty: we need more jams.
As you may know, the Bilderberg conference is taking place RIGHT NOW in Chantilly, Virginia. We've all made a trip or two down to VA in our day, but trust this one is different. For those of you not familiar, this is the super secret annual meeting of all those billionaires who make the world turn. What goes on at the meeting? No one really knows, but trust the conspiracy theorists are all over this one. What we want to know is: can a hip hop mogul get an invite? Jay's worth about a billion; Russel was one of People's 25 most influential and Diddy aint exactly a slouch either (dude can at least make a band). So where's the love?
We were over at Brisco's MySpace today when we were pleasantly surprised to find the above video for Rick Ross' stellar "Street Money". Apparently this shit's been around for a while, but we just found it so we're posting it now.
"Street Money" was supposed to be the second single from Trilla, but it ended up not even making the album. What gives Ricky? "Street Money" was fire. You already know we're feelin "The Boss" (which ended up being second single), but "Street Money" couldn't even make the album? It couldn't have been harder to clear than that Madonna sample JR had to cut from the original version of "The Boss". J-Rock: If you've got any spare beats laying around, get at us.
We would not advise most rappers to play in Wayne's world. Frankly, its a place we don't understand and are kind of afraid of. But here Lil Mama takes the much leaked beat from "A Milli" and murders it. We have to admit that we kind of hated "A Milli" the first million or so times we heard it, but Lil Mama is changing our minds pretty quickly. We gotta start paying more attention to this girl.
