50 Cent

G Unit honcho 50 Cent was arrested this afternoon (September 8) in Midtown New York.

According to reports, 50 (born Curtis Jackson) was pulled over in his silver Lamborghini around 2 pm near Madison Square Garden because he was driving erratically.

The Brooklyn bred rapper was then arrested and issued four traffic tickets including unsafe lane change, no plates, driving without insurance and an expired license.

He is currently being held at the Midtown South precinct on West 35th Street and will likely receive summonses for driving recklessly and the other traffic-related offenses, before being released.

n this week's Pulse Report, the streets are buzzing about 50 Cent killing hip-hop, Diddy pissing off you tube, Beanie Sigel taking subliminals and Mos Def's arrest getting caught on tape.

1. 50 Cent kills hip-hop? By the looks of things, your boy Fiddy is trying to Ja Rule Diddy. Not sure if it's gonna work, but considering Diddy completely butchered Pharoahe Monch's writing on "The Future," it may be worth a try. Coincidentally, the track is produced by Havoc of Mobb Deep, who is signed to G-Unit Records. Fif has a way of feuding with people his artists work with. A week after calling Diddy out, the Queens rapper is taking more shots with his DJ Whoo Kid co-signed "G-Unit Radio 22" mixtape. The lower right of the cover pictures Diddy awkwardly hugging a man from behind with a bubble that reads, "take that, take that." Whether it's sarcastic or dead honest, the CD's intro features an interesting skit in which a preacher accuses Fif of killing hip-hop.

2. Diddy pisses off youtube. Ok, Diddy has to be stopped. The meaning of up close and personal will never be the same thanks to this dude. Since beginning his Press Play campaign, the Puffster decided to hop on the youtube and myspace bandwagons to feature clips giving a glimpse of his personal life. Thus far, heads have been treated to Diddy claiming to be a Proactiv pioneer and him waking up, stank breath and all. He's also announced that he's expecting twins. Puff's latest clip has him sharing the joy of bladder relief as he pisses for the camera. "Have you ever had to take a piss real bad?" Diddy asked before pulling out his Sean Johnson, stepping to the urinal. "It's almost as good as sex. That point where you feel your bladder is gonna explode. You feel like you drunk a gallon of beer and then you finally just...aaaaauuwwwww!" Eeeeeeeeeewwwww!

3. Beans gets subliminal. You know what the game's been missing? It may just be a dose of Beanie Sigel. The self-proclaimed broad street bully hasn't released much music since rejoining the Roc-A-Fella camp at last year's "I Declare War Concert." Well, he's back. A freestyle off "Streets Is Watching," Beans' latest mixtape with iPod king DJ Drama, is currently spreading throughout the streets and the net. The Philly emcee seems to be aiming at someone here, but who? Spitting over the "Cannon" instrumental, Beans offers, "now what cause the breakup?/ when ego's collide that foolish pride coincide cause dudes to say stuff/ cause dudes to say what/ really was on their mind all the time but I'm about my grind/ fuck the fake stuff/ far from a fake what/ when the whole shit shaped up/ I was in there/ doing a year in a wake up/ niggas disappeared/ sold they soul for a Jacob." Later on Beans observes, "what I can't see clear is how u let them play us/ look man they pape up/ we aint got a paper cup/ to piss in." So who is Beans addressing?

4. Mos Def's arrest surfaces on the net. Reports popped up that the Mighty Mos Def was arrested after an impromptu performance outside the MTV Video Music Awards last week. Well, a clip of the arrest is now floating around the net. The video has Mos performing "Katrina Clap" on a flat truck when several officers suddenly hop on stage. On the clip, one officer harshly pushes Mos' hand down and has a few words with him before pushing him gratuitously. The Brooklyn lyricist showed no sign of resistance when the officer stepped on stage. The clip then shows cops putting cuffs on Mos as he reminds the crowd of Hurricane Katrina's anniversary. Fans shouted for cops to let him go as he was getting put in the cop car.

Daz Dillinger

After years of grinding independently, West Coast rapper/producer Daz Dillinger is ready to unleash his debut record for So So Def this Tuesday, September 12th. In this SOHH.com exclusive Daz discusses his Southern connection, taking anger management classes and Suge Knight.

For his first single off of So So Gangsta Daz linked up with Miami rapper Rick Ross to record "On Some Real Shit."

"Streetwise I was in Miami a lot traveling and networking and when we made the song JD was like we need to put Rick Ross on there. He had 'Hustlin' out, it made sense to do it." Daz told SOHH exclusively.

While So So Gangsta boasts the same West Coast flavor that drew Daz and Tha Dogg Pound attention in the nineties there is no denying Dillinger's presence in the South.

"'On Some Real Sh*t,' I got the South's attention with it. This record is migrating from the West to the South. I'm a hustler I go state to state campaigning like the President," Daz said.

The rapper/producer has been migrating as well. Since departing Death Row in 1999, Daz has been traveling throughout the South, doing production work, releasing music from his independent label D.P.G. Records and planting roots in New Orleans, Atlanta, Memphis, Miami and Mississippi.

"I went outta town with it. I had my own money so it made everything right. I was wondering how to get my name outta everybody mouth, so I found out. I moved," Daz said.

Daz admitted to spending time in anger management classes, which in turn helped him to deal with certain issues that he addresses on the album.

"'The One' with Jagged Edge is about domestic violence... relationship type stuff. You're fighting, she forgave me, I forgave her and it's back like it was type of situations. Going through relationships over the years, I been through it and I had to learn how deal with those conflicts," Daz revealed to SOHH.

Though he's steering clear of conflict these days, Dillinger still has words for bankrupt Death Row mogul Suge Knight.

"He needs some help. I just don't fuck with him, I don't deal with him," Daz said. "That's on him, he lost the company, his catalog, everything. He felt karma cuz he do a lot of scandalous shit, between God and Tupac and being scandalous on different things. You know God don't like ugly."

In related news, Daz is currently giving away two round trip tickets to Las Vegas, a two night stay in a hotel room, complimentary dinner and spending cash to promote his new album. Fans can visit http://www.sohh.com/daz/ to enter.

Look for Daz's So So Gangsta to hit stores this Tuesday, September 12th.
