Soulja Boy feat. 50 Cent - "Mean Mug"

Soulja Boy and 50 Cent's mutual admiration for each other has extended beyond a XXL cover. Their musical collaboration, "Mean Mug" wasn't originally slated to be on Soulja Boy's third album, The DeAndre Way", Soulja must of had a change of mind.

"Mean Mug" was just added to Soulja Boy's third album The DeAndre Way, which was pushed back from November 2nd to the 16th and now (finally) to the 30th.

Speaking OF their XXL cover...



...(I know it's a little late in innernets --yes, I said innernets-- time, but) 50 Cent's look reminds me of something from my childhood. I just can't figure it out...



Umm, yeah. That's it! ;D

Kanye in His Own Words

Kanye West is in the October issue of XXL with his self penned story. Talking about what else? Taylor Swift. I'm tired of hearing about it, let it go. No more sappy songs Taylor or I'm going to be forced to take your guitar.

In his candid cover story, Ye speaks on the reaction he received from the infamous 2009 MTV Video Music Awards debacle. “I stress that the incident wasn’t about Taylor personally,” he explains in the story. “And it definitely wasn’t about race. Where I messed up is, at the end of the day, it’s your show, Taylor. It’s your show, MTV.”

“The relationship with the public and with your fans is like the relationship with your girlfriend,” he adds. “How could I not, at a certain point, be like, ‘I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have been at the awards show. I’m sorry.’ Not that I don’t deserve to get beat up or change who I am inside, to make sure that that doesn’t happen again.”

Diddy Covers XXL For The First Time

Diddy graces XXL's June Dub-Dime cover for the first time(o,rly?). In celebration, he brought an XXL size of his ego along with him.

“I am the champion of hip-hop...Hands down, undisputed, I’m the undisputed heavyweight champion of hip-hop. We are going to have to deal with those facts. There is nobody that can fuck with me with what I do, which is getting busy. We are going across the board, as an entrepreneur, innovator, motivator. Who was there first? Who traveled to Europe first? The first. The first. The first. The first. I was the first.”[sic]

Besides ego-preening that only Mr. Combs could do (take that, take that), the Diddy discusses Last Train To Paris, his grind to top of hip-hop's circle of moguls, and insight into his business acumen.

XXL's June issue will be on newsstands nationwide on June 1, 2010.
