Charli Baltimore Explains Why She Hasn’t Seen “Notorious”

The former Murder Inc. rapper Charli Baltimore went on Power 105.1 to speak to Cherry Martinez about her upcoming film Gangs of Roses 2, which also features Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose, and her upcoming album release in April. Biggie’s former girlfriend was then asked about the Notorious film, in which she replied that she hasn’t seen it and then explained the reasons why.

“I didn’t want to watch it and I didn’t feel like – nothing negative against anybody who was involved with the movie as far as the production of it – I just feel a certain way about who and what people should do [with] a B.I.G. movie. I know people who were in his day-to-day, everyday life. I was pretty vocal about that. This is just my opinion, no need for anybody to get their panties in a bunch, but the only people to me who could have shot an accurate descriptive portrayal of real life were Damion Butler, who is D-Roc, [Lil’] Cease and maybe Money L. And a guy named Seeth, who used to be around. But out of those four, definitely D-Roc, definitely Cease.”

“I don’t think anybody else could do an accurate portrayal of Big. The only reason I say that, and no disrespect to his mom, but she just wasn’t around everyday. People grow up. The way you present yourself to your parents when you see them on holidays or whatever, that’s not really how you are everyday. If your parents are coming over, you’re cleaning the house, you’re making everything situated. You’re going to kind of be on guard. These were people that were around him good times, bad times, whatever times. That’s just how I looked at it.”

DJ Whoo Kid Talks About Getting Fired And Smacked By 50 Cent

Dj Whoo Kid stopped off at Thisis50, to talk about joining G Unit as the resident DJ, and his ‘love’ smack he received off 50 Cent. He recalls the amount of times 50 has sacked him from his position as his DJ too. Whoo Kid also talks about the time when Eminem and his camp wanted him killed…

“The first DJ got stabbed and left town, went to Tennessee or somewhere,” Whoo Kid said, describing how he became a part of G-Unit. “I think it was during that studio situation where the lights got cut off. It was a deejay that got stabbed. When 50’s mixtape came out, they had the tour schedule. They just needed a deejay but at that time, they weren’t interviewing anybody. The trust issue was crazy. So, I was put into G-Unit as the deejay.”

“It’s up to 48 [times being fired] now,” he said. “I don’t mind getting fired because I guess he’s so used to doing it so much that he gotta keep firing me. You could go on YouTube and see all the countries I got fired from.”

Whoo Kid then talks about 50 Cent smacking random people and himself.

“I didn’t want to fuck up with 50 on stage because during those days, he was ruthless. He was smacking everybody. He was smacking people per day. He was smacking everybody on the bus. If he had nothing to talk about or to do, he would smack random people on the bus. That’s why I stayed in the front with the fucking bus driver.”

“He loves me so it’s like a love smack. But the new niggas was gettin’ wrecked.”

On Eminem

“Along time ago, I leaked an Eminem joint by mistake and they wanted to kill me,” he shared.
