50 Cent was hospitalized and released after a Mack truck rear-ended his bulletproof SUV in Queens very early this morning, reports ThisIs50.com and XXL. The rapper was on the Long Island Expressway when the driver of the truck lost control of his vehicle, hitting 50 Cent. He was taken to the hospital along with his driver, but after a few tests on his neck and back, the pair were released from the hospital and are reportedly feeling fine.

50 Cent is gearing up to release his next album, 5 (Murder By Numbers), on July 3rd.

As the British Invasion reached its peak in 1964, Brenda Lee went from Nashville to London to record one of her hardest-rocking hits, her perky vocal backed by a stuttering, squalling guitar. That guitar was played by session musician Jimmy Page, yet to skyrocket to fame with first the Yardbirds and then Led Zeppelin. "She said to me, 'I've come here to make a record with the British sound,'" remembered producer Mickie Most. "She felt she wouldn't get the same sound in Nashville because they're only just catching up on the British beat group sound of about six months ago."
