Framed

50 Cent, Framed

Astonishing news, readers. We haven't seen 50 Cent in Framed in more than two years! Frankly, we're sort of distressed about that, since 50 is pretty much the world's greatest rapper and a paragon of human achievement. Which, if you leave out the rapping ability, also describes us!

Happily, we're making amends this week by bringing you "Baby By Me," the great new song and video from his fourth album, Before I Self Destruct. The video is hot, hot, hot, and features Kelly Rowland of Destiny's Child as 50's love interest. Seriously, you will be posting your thanks after you enjoy this splendid video and this week's lightheartedly amusing photo captions.

Please do nothing but enjoy, except for that posting your thanks thing we mentioned!

 

1 -- "I'm afraid it's true, 50. My new app actually eliminates misogyny from rap."

 

2 -- "And with the help of this perfectly ordinary ant I'll show that rubber tree plant who's boss."

 

3 -- "Perhaps I can reel in the elusive invisible fish."

 

4 -- "I'll imagine a triangle...no, an isosceles triangle...and then I'll imagine a Sentient Isosceles Triangle that has powers and stuff. Boy, that would make for a b****in' blog!"

 

5 -- Ladies and gentlemen, please say hello to 40, 30 and--of course!--20 Cent!

 

6 -- "Collectively, we're almost a dollah!"

 

7 -- Cow Heaven, it turns out, isn't nearly as good as the various other Heavens.

 

8 -- "Damn. My latest attempt at medium temperature fusion has resulted in nothing more than tasty steaks."

 

9 -- Now that Hose-O has increased his strength twenty fold, the End of Days is surely near!

 

10 -- 50's ability to harness the power of distant stars is simply good to have around!

 

11 -- "When will young people learn that alcohol doesn't solve their problems, even though it does make them wittier and better-looking?"

 

12 -- "Come on! You really write Framed?"
