Of course, he's still been acting, pulling publicity stunts and ruthlessly taunting some of the biggest artists in the game, but there haven't been any new verses from the vicious Queens native lately. That all changed over the weekend when 50 heard the new Cee-Lo jam entitled 'F--- You.' </p>

News <p>When Rick Ross proclaimed himself Big Meech, a famed criminal who is an actual friend of Young Jeezy, it was only a matter of time before Jeezy decided to take some shots at the larger than life rapper. His first salvo was entitled 'The Real B.M.F.' and contained an actual recorded take from the prison-ridden Meech over a new beat. Unfortunately, it didn't hold a candle to Ross' original, so now Jeezy has jumped on the Teflon Don's beat and thrown some pretty pointed disses towards Ross. </p>
