In the spirit of Thanksgiving, some of hip-hop’s biggest stars gave back to their communities. On Wednesday, 50 Cent joined Feeding America and the Food Bank for New York City to serve a holiday meal to New Yorkers in need and those affected by Hurricane Sandy.

There was a “Celebration” in Compton when Game returned to his old ‘hood to hand out turkeys to the locals. The self-proclaimed “Black Robin Hood” kissed women and babies and gave away over 1000 turkeys. After he ran out, he went back and bought 500 more to pass out. “Thankful to give,” tweeted Game.

Always one to keep it real, Young Jeezy hosted his annual turkey giveaway at The Gallery at South DeKalb in Decatur, Georgia. “Sharing is caring,” said the Snowman as he distributed turkeys to people of all ages and races.

Earlier in the week, Nicki Minaj visited her old elementary school P.S. 45 in Queens to speak with the students and donate turkeys, while her YMCMB fam Birdman and Slim passed out turkeys and other Thanksgiving items in their native New Orleans.

50 Cent is ridin’ around and gettin’ it in the video for “United Nations,” a cut off his mixtape 5 (Murder by Numbers). The hip-hop mogul rocks his SMS headphones and a Dsquared muscle tee as he drives around the Las Vegas desert in an ice blue Bentley.

50 shot the Eif Rivera-directed clip when Chief Keef was a no-show to his “Hate Bein’ Sober” video shoot. “I shot the UNITED NATIONS VIDEO when the my Man @ChiefKeef didn’t come to his video shoot,” he tweeted.

Hip-hop superstars 50 Cent and Wiz Khalifa hit Las Vegas to shoot the video for Chief Keef’s new single “Hate Bein’ Sober” on Thursday. The Taylor Gang leader got behind the wheel of a dune buggy as he drove through the desert with 50 by his side. But the star himself, Chief Keef, was reportedly a no-show.

“@chiefkeef didn’t show up to his own video. I never saw anything like this on the first song,” tweeted 50, who has been supportive of the Chicago teen rapper’s career. “Its not funny @chiefkeef didn’t sell any records yet, they will pull the plug on him.”

Later that night, Wiz surprised his fans and brought out Fif to perform “I Get Money” at his “2050 Tour” stop in Vegas.

Chief Keef’s debut Finally Rich is due December 18.
