50 Cent has had a go at it with more than a few of his fellow rappers, from his scathing beef with Ja Rule to his venomous war of words with Fat Joe.

One clash that didn't escalate, however, was when the G-Unit leader and Cam'ron tossed barbs at each other. According to 50, their dispute wasn't nearly as personal as it seemed.

In fact, he told MTV News that the Diplomats leader was "a good guy." "What me and Cam'ron had is music," 50 said, characterizing their rift as a challenge to be the pre-eminent MC. "It's the competitive nature of the art form. In hip-hop, there's always been battling. It's a part of it. I don't wake up or go to sleep feeling like I hate Cam'ron. He's a good guy."

Just last week, Cam'ron talked to MTV News about 50 and also revealed that things between them are solid.

"I don't have no problem with 50," Cam told Sway during "RapFix Live." "50 cool with me.

"It was good for hip-hop," he continued. "We had our little hip-hop beef or whatever you wanna call it, but ain't no problem. Jim and Juelz do stuff with 50 and they camp all the time. I don't have a problem with 50 at all. It is what it is. We had our little discrepancy, and we moved on from it."

Over the summer, their protégés — Lloyd Banks and Juelz Santana — joined forces for the summer heater "Beamer, Benz or Bentley."

Travie McCoy is gearing up for his first-ever solo headlining tour, and he's bringing an old friend along for the ride.

On Monday (January 24), McCoy announced the details of his Sgt. Schlepper's Who Needs Hearts Club Band Tour (good name, BTW), a North American jaunt that kicks off March 17 in Toronto and crisscrosses the continent before wrapping up April 3 in Seattle. Joining him on the trek will be his good pal Pete Wentz — who will be taking his new Black Cards project out on the road for their first full-scale tour — rappers Donnis and XV, and hip-hop/funk collective Bad Rabbits.

An exclusive pre-sale begins Tuesday, along with special VIP packages that include a ticket, a meet-and-greet with McCoy and, according to a press release from Atlantic Records, "a Travie piggy-bank (for all the future Billionaires)." For more information about pre-sales and VIPs, head over to the tour's ticketing site or McCoy's website. All remaining tickets will go on sale to the general public beginning Friday.

In addition to his upcoming tour, McCoy is set to enter the studio with his group Gym Class Heroes to put the finishing touches on The Papercut Chronicles II, their first album since 2008's The Quilt. In late 2009, McCoy told MTV News that the new GCH album is shaping up to be a return to their early days (as evidenced by the title), saying, "It's definitely going back to the essence of Gym Class Heroes, which is four dudes sitting in a room, vibing off each other and making organic, dark metal."
