Teaming up with Pontiac and celebrity car tuner, Will Castro, well known for his TV show Unique Whips, to create a fully customized G8 sedan with unique features including headrests and floor mats stitched with a 50 Cent logo and an 800 watt audio system.
“Partnering with Pontiac has given me the opportunity to create something truly unique – a customized performance vehicle I am really proud of,” 50 Cent said. “The G8 is like none other and it pushes the boundaries of what people think a car has to be.”
50 showed off his enthusiasm for Pontiac’s earlier this year in the video for his single “Amusement Park”, which featured the Pontiac’s G8 and G6 GXP.
The G8 goes on sale nationally in early 2008.
Tony Yayo to Stand Trial
Rapper Tony Yayo will stand trial January 10 for his alleged assault on the 14 year-old son of The Game’s manager Jimmy “Henchmen” Rosemond.
According to MTV News, it has been reported that the judge has decided to combine Tony Yayo’s case with Lowell “Lodi Mack” Fletcher who is described as an honorary G-Unit member. Lowell is also accused of assaulting the 14 year-old boy in an altercation that took place in March 2007.
There is a long simmering feud between 50 Cent and Jimmy “Henchmen” Rosemond which was aggravated by the alleged assault back in March.

dam dat shyt hot ma granny jus copped a G6 an i thought she was on top of the world,guess i aint seen shyt yet! 50 doin it big stop hatin on dat man an yayo a dam fool dnt even kno y dey added him in the article
The car does look nice, but doesn't 50 think he's overexposing himself just a bit? I understand that he making that $, but people are suffering 50 fatigue (like Jimmy Iovinne said). He fucking everywhere condoms, computers, movies, books(2), on the radio as a solo artist, in G-Unit's shit, Ciara, clothing, talking shit in beefs, etc. Man just concentrate on making good music again and lose the "God" complex. This reminds me of Destiny's Child in 2001 when those bitches were everywhere and the public sort-of back lashed against them. If 50 was as smart a businessman that people think he is, he'd see that a celebrity of his caliber doesn't have to whore himself out to the public by endorsing every fucking thing. He can be selective and still bank off the shit. 50 gonna fuck around and be the next J-Lo.
i see your point but if thats the case then will smith fall in that category an ll cool j an many others 50 is more than a rap artist he is or at least is tryna b a global icon cnt knock dat g
overexposing wont hurt him as a businessman - it would only benefit him. but ya as an artist overexposing is prolly not a good idea.

F*ck 50...real rap
YOU A HATER WHY READ ABOUT 50 YOU BROKE A$$ N%$$A
yea all blk would be nice blk rims wit it too
i thought this was a site about hip hop, fuck, the car is nice and yes i already know 50 has alot of money, but if i was really interested i would buy a fuckin car magazine, def sounds needs to step it up and start putting up some decent news not any liitle thing they can get their hands on, or actually put out some editorials, this is supposed to be a hip hop site, what does this have to do with with hip hop,
Hip Hop NEWS. This is News.
But anyways, the car looks straight....50 is overexposing us due to the fact that he is gearing himself for when he...retires??
I mean, he CLEARLY cant rap forever...hes recycling shit now i mean cmon...you expand your horizons you wont be out of money when it gets to the point that when you go on stage and you dont feel it, you got shit to fall back on. Youll still have outlets for money. I aint mad at him.
This nigga 50 really is an entrepreneur...dont knock it fellas...
Damn 50, My nigga Jay better do something man if he wants to keep the title as the richest rapper in the game... That 500m+ can only get you so far...Fifty creepin up.
explain how this is hip hop news, this is def sounds promoting 50's new whip, i will admit 50 smart about his money, but i would rather read about a new artist, new album/mixtape, a review or interview then another fuckin 50 cent endorsment deal, its fuckin enough already!
I doubt Def Sounds can cover all the new artists and new albums/mixtapes.
And if you knew anything about journalism, reviews or interviews would fit into editorials and feature stories.
This is hip-hop news because it pertains to hip-hop artists.
50 is not a hip hop artist he is a pop artist, alright im not a journalist sue me, i just want to read about something othe then an advertisment, and im not saying to cover everything just atleast something relevant to music, nice use of the word pertain tho lol!
man u kno defsounds iz always slow on da news tip but who cares
pontiac sucks
cosign
sick whip
I see that everything else except is still working out for 50
i GOT to get me 1 of thees!!
at least he knows he cant rap lol
that n**** it gettin alot
