Rapper 50 Cent has a manager named Sha Money XL. Quick aside: I really miss the early rap days of the much more interesting monikers of Ice Cube, Tupac Shakur, and the oxymoronic Biggy Smalls.

Anyway Mr. XL was recently held up at his barbershop in Queens, New York which was a newsworthy event for AllHipHop.com.  So of course they interviewed him and that’s when he said:

“N***as ain’t
  shoot my whip up, they did set me up,” he said. “I’m still in the
  hood and got a scope on all these jealous bitch a** n***s in my ‘hood
  that ain’t happy for me. [They] wanna eat try [to set me up] again – I
  will feed them.”

Oh. And then he talked about he’s the only HipHop mogul from Queens who’s stayed close to home.

"Steve Stoute, Clue
  and Irv [Gotti] blew and never turned around. Here I am doing the opposite and
  that’s the love I get? It’s all good. I’m still breathing – God bless
  that, [I’m] still rich, back to Jacob for a bigger bezel and bigger piece,”
  he continued. “I’m still in the hood and n***as know that but famous words
  from [50 Cent] – ‘f*** the hood.’

Nuff said.
