According to MTV.com:

The video for “Show Me What You Got,” shot by veteran director F. Gary Gray (Ice
Cube, Outkast) not Hype Williams, as reported earlier — is set to premiere on Monday. Shot on location overseas in Monaco, the video finds Jay-Z in espionage mode, sporting a James Bond attitude in car and boat chase scenes.

Pro race car drivers Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Danica Patrick make cameos in the clip. The four-minute video opens with Jay-Z riding shotgun with Earnhardt as he and Patrick dash through the famously treacherous roads above Monaco, racing each other in pricey European sports cars. Next, Jay is out on the water traveling in a speedboat with no entourage in tow. The Def Jam president and another boat, full of ladies, pace back and forth taking turns trying to one-up each other with tricks.

When Jay-Z docks his boat, he lands on an exclusive resort for the club scene and a high-stakes game of poker. And as the card bout gets tense, Jay-Z casually dismisses a waiter attempting to deliver him a bottle of Cristal, which the rapper called for a boycott of recently due to disparaging remarks made toward black people by the champagne maker’s managing director. His new drink of choice? That’d be Veuve Clicquot.

I had to hustle my way into this one. Got hit up with information a few hours before the event. Was given a plan to get in and it failed miserably. Was thinking damn, I came too far not to get into this party. So I patiently waited for my chance to strike. Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo rolled up with Bentley’s, security started getting extra tight and was saying the building has reached capacity. I was a few minutes from giving up when I seen Mobb Deep with a group of like 15 walking into another entrance. My opportunity came knocking and I answered, made a quick dash into the group and made my way into VIP. In the room was 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Mobb Deep and a member from MOP. I had no idea Mobb Deep was that short, looked like high school kids. No one had OD security and they walked through the crowd taking pictures and giving the females hugs.

Then everyone went downstairs. Then there what seemed to be a never ending line of females. Later found out it was models for a fashion show they set up downstairs. Ladies were looking very attractive, a group had on pasties which got a great reaction from the crowd. After the fashion show, Hot Rod started performing and then Lloyd Banks hit the stage performing, “Cake,” and, “Hands Up.” He then hung out for a while taking pictures with fans, while Tony Yayo took over as DJ. Its was a nice party, album release parties are popping(if you ever manage to get in). Check out Lloyd Banks new album, “Rotten Apple,” in stores October 10th.

Supposedly 50 is trying to stop the XXL from running an article with his former manager. Maybe 50 cent has something to hide? 50’s former manager told Radaronline, “I’m one of the individuals that really knows the truth about him, so I would imagine he wouldn’t want his credibility tested. I guess he just didn’t want to face the truth.” Link

Snoops is getting bold in a recent AllHipHop.com interview:

But at the same time, when you realize what’s right and what’s wrong you have to say as a man, “I want to do what’s right.” What’s right is to educate and to elevate. I could waste a lot of time and just put out negative music and n***as would do what I say ‘cause I’m Snoop-mothaf**kin’-Dogg. King of this Crippin’, King of whatever the f**k I want to. I could be the king of New York right now if I wanted to be. Who is it, Jay-Z and 50, that’s it? Them my lil’ homeboys. If you wanna keep it real, I could be the King of mothaf**kin’ New York and mash on n***as. But I got my hand out in peace and love because I’m a grown man and I understand that when I make peace with Jay-Z and make peace with 50 and I sincerely love them and treat them with respect and love all their homeboys, I get more out of it. The game expands more as opposed to me sayin, “I’m riding with the mothaf**kin’ West Coast, n***a. F**k y’all n***as. It is what it is.” I been on that page before.
