50 Cent to judge first YouTube Rap Competition
YouTube announced its second major music promotion, the YouTube OntheRise Rap Edition. This follow-up to last year’s highly successful YouTube Underground contest is the first of three genre-specific music competitions. This first installment seeks to discover the best rap and hip-hop artists in the United States, inviting unsigned talent who aspire to be professional artists to submit their own original music videos.
Artists can submit original videos that best represent their talents from August 10 through August 17. 50 Cent, Common and Polow da Don will help judge the contest and will select 20 finalists to be presented to the YouTube community on August 29. The YouTube community will then vote on a final winner who will be unveiled on September 7.
Here’s the OnTheRise RAP Edition ’07 by 50 Cent.

Will that be before or after he goes to trial for rape? Oh, that’s right – thugs are above the law.
YouTube has become the Internet slum lord for miscreants and trash, so at least he is in the right neighborhood.
