<p>What’s <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1584696/20080403/jay_z.jhtml">good enough for Madonna and Jay-Z</a> must be good enough for <a href="http://newsroom.mtv.com/?s=%2250+cent%22">50 Cent</a>, right?  </p>
<p>Wrong!  $150 mill is walking-around money for the <a href="http://newsroom.mtv.com/?s=g-unit">G-Unit</a> general, which is why we weren’t that surprised when <a href="http://www.mediatakeout.com/23601/mto_world_exclusive_50_cent_in_talks_for_300m_foxmyspace_deal_-_includes_touring_website_and_film_projects.html" target="_blank">reports surfaced</a> late Wednesday that 50 was getting ready to sign a $300 million deal with News Corp’s MySpace that would cover all his Unit-related activities. </p>
<p>Being the skeptics that we are, we tried to contact MySpace (no reply), 50’s current label Interscope (no reply), and a source at G-Unit Records (no comment) about this alleged ten-year deal that would reportedly include: shifting all G-Unit artists and operations to a new G-Unit label under the MySpace banner, marketing and selling all touring under a new News Corp. company, the acquisition of <a href="http://thisis50.com/" target="_blank">50’s site</a>, and a new production studio for all his film and TV projects.  </p>
<p>Oh, and according to Media Takeout’s exclusive, half the deal will be for stock, which would make 50 “one of the largest shareholders of News Corp.”  Whoa!  Holy crap!</p>
<p>Unlike our friends at <a href="http://idolator.com/390867/50-cent-could-be-getting-some-fox-attitude" target="_blank">Idolator</a>, we’re not trying to say <a href="http://idolator.com/390192/nate-dogg-not-dead ">Media Takeout got this wrong</a>, like, say, <a href="http://www.mediatakeout.com/23574/breaking_news_rapper_nate_dogg_did_not_pass_away.html" target="_blank">the Nate Dogg story</a> they had to apologize for.  We’re just going to hold out until 50 calls us himself to come check out his new office next to Uncle Rupe’s joint. </p>

<p>J. Prince, the ever-diversifying head of Rap-A-Lot Records, has signed up Lil Wayne as the spokesperson for a series of television and radio PSAs being produced on behalf of Strapped Condoms, J. Prince's rubber company. The PSAs aim to educate young folks on ways they can prevent HIV/AIDS infection (According to the press release, the Center for Disease Control reports that "even though blacks account for only 13% of the US population they account for about 50% of the people who get HIV and AIDS"). Of course, the campaign's called "Strapped 4 Life," which we could totally see some Arizona prosecutor taking out of context at Weezy's upcoming trial. Just sayin'.</p>
