"Taco Bell knows about as much about rap music as it does about Mexican food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.aolcdn.com/tmz_documents/1120_tacobell50cent.pdf\"&gt;&lt;img hspace=\"4\" border=\"0\" vspace=\"4\" alt=\"\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2008/11/20/1120_50_cent_taco_bell_launch_bn-1.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In legal papers filed in Federal court, the Bell's lawyers claim 50's tough-talking $4 million trademark infringement lawsuit from this summer was just a publicity stunt -- but it's the personal shots they fire at Fiddy that really spice things up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bell's peeps tried to attack 50's credibility, saying his work \"falls in the subgenre of hip hop music known as 'gangsta rap,' a style associated with urban street gangs and characterized by violent, tough-talking braggadocio.\" They also claim that Fiddy only filed the lawsuit to \"burnish his gangsta rapper persona\" -- 'cause nothing builds street cred like a lawsuit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;50 sued over Taco Bell's lame promo where they offered to give $10K to charity if the rapper changed his name to 79, 89, or 99 Cent. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPDATE 11:04 ET: &lt;/strong&gt;Looks like Fitty's still in it to win it: His lawyer tells us \"Taco Bell needs to be stopped\" and that \"Mr. Cent intends to vigorously pursue this case.\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
