*50 Cent took credit for the sudden shutdown of popular rap blog World Star Hip-Hop yesterday morning…although it was back up and running hours later with the tag, “Website Officially Open for Business.”
According to theboombox.com, many in the hip hop community attributed the site’s temporary disappearance to the Department of Homeland Security’s fierce war on piracy that shut down hip-hop sites like OnSmash and Rap Godfathers in an online raid last fall.
