Bieber has upped his street cred quest by hanging with Rick Ross and trying to rap to 2Pac at a club ... a move that hits close to home for Money B, since Pac got his start with Digital Underground and Money B appeared on 2Pac's song "I Get Around."
Money B thinks Justin doesn't have any real black friends ... just a few famous acquaintances ... and that doesn't give him a hood pass -- not even close.
We think Pac would agree.

Lifetime made the announcement earlier this week ... they're planning on a biopic for 2015, with Angela Bassett making her directorial debut.
According to our sources, the Houston estate is so upset they're considering a lawsuit to block production. We're told the family has already expressed displeasure to Lifetime and made it clear they weren't on board with a TV movie.
Sources close to the Houston family tell us the estate is planning its own movie for the big screen -- ala the "This is It'" Michael Jackson flick.
Pat Houston, wouldn't get specific with us but did say, "Whitney is certainly worthy of more than a television movie. If Whitney were here today, this would not be happening."
Lifetime had no comment.

She's only 12, but kid actress Rowan Blanchard has plenty of grownup business savvy ... because her deal to star in Disney Channel's "Girl Meets World" is paying her $10K an episode!
We got hold of Rowan's contract -- which guarantees her a 6-figure jackpot because the series has reportedly been picked up for 21 episodes ... meaning she'll pocket a cool $210,000 -- just for the first season.
Rowan -- who plays Cory and Topanga's daughter on the show -- stands to make even more if they decide to make a movie based on the TV show ... 'cause she'll collect another $150K, on top of her TV paycheck.
Girl Meets World = girl makes bank.

Big Shot Rob is being sued by Torrance Earle – who claims the ex-NBA star bought out his Texas-based physical therapy business back in 2011 for $90k … which Horry was supposed to pay off in several installments.
In the suit, Earle claims Horry changed the name of the business to the Robert Horry Center for Sports and Physical Rehabilitation – and allowed him to continue working as a therapist.
But Earle claims the relationship fell apart when Horry started missing payments and Earle demanded the remaining balance in one lump sum. Earle says a short time later, Horry fired him from the clinic and began trashing him to patients, employees and everyone else in town, ruining his reputation.
Now, he’s suing Horry for more than $500k to make things right. We made several attempts to reach Horry for comment. So far, we haven’t heard back.

We're told Floyd never felt like there was any beef with T.I. -- nor does he want to be romantically involved with Tip's wife Tameka "Tiny" Cottle.
Our sources say Money is very upset over being falsely accused of any shenanigans -- and feels it was ridiculous for T.I. to get mad at him ... since it was Tiny's choice to hangout while in Vegas.
We're told Floyd's only motive was continuing his friendship with Mr. and Mrs. T.I.
