1ST SHOTS IN NEW RAP WAR

March 2, 2005 -- Cops fear a new war has broken out in the trigger-happy world of hip-hop after gunmen sprayed 50 Cent's offices with gunfire and shot a rival rapper's sidekick outside a radio station.

Two unidentified shooters fired at least eight times into the West 25th Street building housing 50 Cent's Violator Management company around midnight Monday, law-enforcement sources said. No one was injured.

"The assumption is that they went there to leave a message," a source said. "That message is: 'It's not over.' "

In his radio interview, "Fitty" said it was over for The Game as far as G-Unit goes because he had refused to side with him in battles with other rappers.

At the building that houses the trouble-plagued radio station, workers said the latest violence has renewed fears after two earlier rap-related shootings.

Leann Rimes had to reschedule an interview at WXTU - Philly's country station - because another RAP station (Wired 96.5) is in the same building and one of these knuckle-dragging losers was scheduled to be interviewed (at 96.5) as well. Rimes' people feared for her safety.

Yeah,..that's a nice "Welcome to Philly" for you!
