50 Cent talks Detox

7 Aug, 2008 2 Comments

Perhaps a sign of things to come, more and more artists are speaking about their role in Dr. Dre’s alleged upcoming album, Detox. Possibly the most anticipated album in Hip Hop history, the latest artist to speak on the long-awaited album, which is to be released in November or December, is none other than 50 Cent.

“I recorded material with Dr. Dre for the Detox,” said 50 to MTV News. “It’s great. I want it back. I want the records back,” joked Fif.

50 did indicate, however, that he wants leftover material Dre has. “He has the music. It’s right there in the computer. I stop by [his studio] every time and get something that adds something significant to my project each time [I’m about to put a record out]. And I spend three or four days there. To me, he’s the best producer in the game.
“When I walk in the studio, I record the first [beat] that comes on regardless if I think it’s a hit record or not,” 50 continued. “We get in work mode, get comfortable and go through the material that’s in the computer. Dre always has hit records. Sometimes, artists that need producers, they need someone to create a direction for them musically. I need the jewels he’s just got laying around. He don’t gotta tell me what to do with it. All he has to do is say, ‘Track six.’ Or, ‘Go to track eight.’ He’ll have hits playing there. You just have to get in and get them.”

It’s 50’s guess - just as it is anyone else’s - as to when Dre will finally deem the album ready for release. “Hopefully he’ll get it done and put it out,” he said. “I’m waiting for the Detox. All I can say is, Dr. Dre is the best producer in my eyes. Just the consistency over the years. … He knows what he wants. He’s such a perfectionist that it becomes difficult for him to put it out.”

Paul Wall Not Hurt But Acquaintance Killed

7 Aug, 2008 No Comment

Houston rapper Paul Wall was not injured/killed as rumors were floating around the net this morning stated. Unfortunately though, his friend, Emanuel “Lil E” Hobbs, 23, was slain in a gunfight that left three others injured.

“Swishahouse and Paul Wall want to let everyone know that he is fine and alive,” a representative told an online publication today. “The concerns and questions are overwhelming, we thank you for your concern.”

Officers found the dead man lying on a driveway about 11:15 a.m. The wounded men apparently fled, police said. They later showed up at area hospitals, where they were being questioned later Thursday.

Rick Ross day erupts in gunfire

7 Aug, 2008 No Comment

The Second Annual Rick Ross Be Out Day was interrupted by gunfire today (August 6). The annual event took place in Carol City Park and offered the local community a day of food, and fun sponsored by Rick Ross himself. The event went off without a hitch, until Ross took the stage and that’s when the gunfire erupted.

“He was giving back to the community when this happened, Rick and the whole Poe Boy team got on stage and that’s when someone in the crowd started shooting.”

The shooting resulted in a number of people fleeing the area in fear of their lives, the witness added. Rick Ross Be Out Day provides local children with back-to-school necessities.

50 Cent Disagrees With Eminem, Fires Warning Shots At Rick Ross

16 Apr, 2008 1 Comment

50 Cent can admit when he is totally wrong and his gambles don’t pay off. For most of last year, he took the advice of Interscope Records and fell back from the mixtape circuit because the label had advised him that it was taking away from his official record sales. That was right around the time DJ Drama and Don Cannon were having issues with the RIAA.

But 50 has made up for lost time in the past six months, releasing three mixtapes since last fall.

“They think I’m crazy,” 50 told us last week in his Connecticut mansion, chuckling about what Eminem and Shady Records tell him about giving away so much material for free. “Sometimes [Em] misses why I put it out. He goes, ‘Why did you put it out?’ But I can’t be as hot as I’m gonna be if I don’t play around. I gotta spar before I go fight the champ. That’s my concept of it. If I don’t go out and make material and lock in, I’m not gonna make the best possible material for the next [official] project.”

Fif — who has been working on a new freestyle with Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo over the beat of Snoop Dogg’s “Neva Have 2 Worry” — obviously hasn’t been slowed down by any of his recent issues with his hip-hop peers. Lately he and Fat Joe have been going back and forth in interviews, songs and Photoshopped pictures on the Web.

“The Hip-Hop Weekly [a fake cover] came out, and it was a thing with [Benzino] supposed to be [sleeping] with Fat Joe’s wife,” 50 said. “I didn’t make that. I didn’t have anyone [Photoshop] that. Why would you do that? I work for Hip-Hop Weekly? They’ll know that there are issues between me and Joe, so when he approaches them, they’ll say, ‘Nah, it must be 50. You know how 50 is.’ But I didn’t care, ’cause I don’t like Joe neither. It doesn’t matter to me that they did it, but it didn’t come from me.”

But several days ago, 50 did hold a mock funeral for Joe online. In the video, he started to cry, saying the SoundScan returns of Joe’s The Elephant in the Room killed him. He also warned Joe’s friend Rick Ross not to align himself too tightly with the Terror Squad general.

“Rick Ross is doing good,” 50 elaborated. “I also complimented him that he had the #1 album. I said, ‘Just don’t stand too close to this fat piece of …’ I’m saying that because of what [Joe’s] trying to do. He runs to Miami and hangs out with them like he’s running Miami? Does Fat Joe run Miami? I don’t think Fat Joe runs Miami. I think people from Miami would be upset you’re even questioning that. The fact he can influence DJ Khaled on the radio, does that mean Fat Joe runs Miami? … I don’t care if [Khaled] ever plays my records. He’s not important enough to what I’m doing for it to matter. Not to say Miami doesn’t count. He doesn’t count for it to matter to me.”

The G-Unit album, tentatively titled Shoot to Kill, is slated for this summer, while Fif’s next solo LP, Before I Self Destruct, is coming toward the end of this year.

50 Cent: “Young Buck Is No Longer In G-Unit”

16 Apr, 2008 2 Comments

50 Cent has made it clear about the status of Young Buck, one of his artists who has had a shaky relationship with the company for several months. 50 Cent revealed today that the Tennessee rapper was no longer in G-Unit the group, but would still record for the label.

“You can look at it and see that’s Game [former G-Unit rapper] all the way. I was giving him a chance, giving him the benefit of the doubt [to remain with the group]. You can take this as an official notice right here – pretty much you can say: Young Buck is no longer in the group G-Unit, but signed to G-Unit [Records] as a solo artist,” 50 Cent told DJ Envy, a co-host on the Hot 97 Morning Show with Miss Jones.

Most recently, Young Buck revealed that he had not collected any royalty income as an artist on G-Unit Records, a subsidiary of Interscope. Those reports were quickly dispelled by Sha Money XL, manager of Young Buck, who said the rapper was “waving the G-Unit flag strong.”

“There has been a new rumor going around that 50 Cent has not paid Young Buck any royalties,” Sha Money XL told AllHipHop.com. “I, as Buck’s manager and as former President of G-Unit Records, want to make it clear: that is false. Young Buck has cleared over $10 million dollars working under 50 Cent’s and my guidance.”

Young Buck, born David Darnell Brown, was expected to appear on Shoot to Kill, the follow up to G-Unit’s 2003 debut album titled Beg For Mercy.

Young Buck once was to lead the charge for 50 Cent’s G-Unit Sout imprint. Instead, the rapper started Cashville Records and signed rap vet C-Bo and The Outlawz, who were a part of Tupac’s inner circle of emcees.

But has also started David Brown clothing to supplement his rap offerings.

50 Cent and The Game initially parted ways, because the Compton upstart wouldn’t assume beefs with Nas and Fat Joe that the rest of G-Unit had declared.

Mike Jones Pegs July Release For ‘Voice Of The Streets’, Drafts Wayne & T-Pain.

8 Apr, 2008 No Comment

Mike Jones recently revealed the official release date for his sophomore album titled Voice Of The Streets.

The Houston bred rapper divulged to BET.com last week that his oft-delayed album will hit shelves on July 7th.

He also revealed that the next single off the set will be “Cuddy Buddy” which features Twista, Lil Wayne and T-Pain.

“A ‘Cuddy Buddy’ is when a man and a woman are in a relationship and things aren’t working out like they supposed to, the woman veers off to go holler at her Cuddy Buddy,” Mike Jones explained. “She goes off to call me, she calls Twista, she calls T-Pain and she calls Lil’ Wayne. We got the Keith Sweat sample ‘How Deep Is Your Love,’ in there and it’s right man.”

As reported earlier, Voice Of The Streets will also feature appearances from Hurricane Chris, Chamillionaire, Krayzie Bone, Z-Ro, Lil Mo, Trey Songz, Pimp C and Bun B.

Judge Sides With 50 Cent, Allows Rapper To Evict His Baby’s Mother..

8 Apr, 2008 1 Comment

A judge yesterday (April 4) accepted 50 Cent’s request to evict Shaniqua Tompkins, his ex-girlfriend and mother to his ten year old son Marquis, from his Long Island, New York home.

As reported earlier, 50 and Tompkins were embroiled in a bitter legal battle over child support payments last year.

50 was initially ordered to pay $25,000 a month in child support to Tompkins but a judge would cut it down to $6,700 this year on condition that Tompkins used the money to find a new residence.

According to The New York Post, 50 told the judge Thursday that he wanted Tompkins evicted from the house because she has not attempted to find a new residence and is taking advantage of the fact he pays all the bills for the Long Island home.

“To have her living there with her boyfriend and several other people is inappropriate,” 50 said. “She’s in the house with people I’m not responsible to pay housing for.”

“She doesn’t want to work. She doesn’t want to do anything,” he added. “She has a sense of entitlement over me because she was around before I had success.”

The judge sided with 50 to evict Tompkins from the Long Island house and gave Tompkins until the end of the school year to move.

In retaliation, Tompkins filed a breach of contract lawsuit against the G-Unit honcho yesterday claiming that the rapper promised to buy her the house.

Benzino Recalls Past Relationship W/ 50 Cent, Denies Fat Joe Photoshop Rumors..

8 Apr, 2008 No Comment

Hip-Hop Weekly publisher Raymond “Benzino” Scott is back to set the record straight. In an exclusive with SOHH the former Source owner reveals an interesting experience he shared with rival 50 Cent back in 2000 and also addresses recent allegations made by Fif regarding certain photoshopped images.

In an interview with MTV last week, 50 (born Curtis Jackson) rejected rumors that the altered images that appeared on the fake Hip-Hop Weekly cover of Benzino with Fat Joe’s wife, was his doing. Instead Fif blamed Zino and HHW, implying the publication printed the altered image to stir controversy between the rival rappers.

Insulted that 50 would insinuate Hip-Hop Weekly would publish such an image, Benzino phoned in to SOHH to clear the air.

“50 is real cunning at what he does,” Benzino told SOHH. “I’m not into photoshopping. What him and Joe got going on- is between him and Joe. I don’t have nothing to do with that. I think [50] just wanted to answer that, just to see if there was a division between me and Joe, which there isn’t.”

On March 24, 2000, outside of New York’s defunct recording studio Hit Factory, the heated rivalry between Murder Inc. and a then up and coming 50 Cent, took a turn for the worse when an altercation ensued between Ja Rule’s and 50’s camps, resulting in Fif being stabbed by Ramel “Black Child” Gill, a rapper affiliated with the Inc.

Three males, including Fif were treated for stab wounds at Roosevelt hospital.

Today, it is still unclear on what exactly transpired that night, as both camps have released conflicting accounts, but Zino revealed to SOHH that after the brawl, he aided Mr. Jackson and made sure the embattled rapper arrived at the hospital safely.

“The first-time I met 50 was when the situation at the Hit Factory had happened with him and Murder Inc,” Benzino recalled. “I was with the Made Men and we were recording at Sony studios which was a couple of buildings down. One of the guys from the group, Mr. Jesus, had bought 50 in. At that time he came down and said [50] wanted to meet me or whatever, so he came in the lounge and showed us he got stabbed.

At the time, Benzino only knew of Fif through his producers Tone and Poke. According to Benzino, a wounded 50 stepped into the studio to meet and greet him, but once he saw the rapper was hurt, he secured a vehicle for 50 to take.

“We had a car service when I was with the Source at the time,” he explained, “and I called [50] a car and sent him on his way. Everything was good. We haven’t spoken to each other since, with the whole Source and Eminem thing. I guess it was really impossible for the communication to take place.”

According to Benzino, he and 50 shared a mutual respect for one another. The two actually spoke about collaborating on a track.

“I saw him in Puerto Rico,” Zino recalled. “I guess that was the time he just signed with Eminem. [50] came over and gave me a hug and said ‘what up.’ We started talking about doing a track together through Sha Money. [But] once the Eminem thing took place, all of that fell apart.”

Today, Benzino looks to keep the nonsense in the past, but he believes the damage, which ensued between him and Em, may have forever sealed any future reconciliation.

“I’m a keep it 100, there’s so much damage and so much bullsh*t as far as his side of the fence and my side of the fence, I don’t see that happening,” Benzino explains. “[But] I’m not one of these *ssholes. I’m always for the bigger picture.”

Bobby Creekwater Preps Alchemist EP, Debut Album

8 Apr, 2008 1 Comment

Bobby Creekwater may be known more for his Shady Records affiliation than his actual music, but that should change soon.

According to published reports, the ATLien is prepping the release of two projects.

The first is an EP with Alchemist, Second Hand Smoke. The first single, “Fuckin Up My Cool” is circulating the net [click here to listen…], and the project will be offered as a free download on each of their web sites soon. Second Hand Smoke also serves as a precursor to Alchemist’s upcoming album, Chemical Warfare, as previously reported by HipHopDX [click here to read…].

Creekwater’s debut full-length, A Brilliant Mistake, should hit stores this summer. Executive produced by Eminem, the disc will feature production from Mr. Porter, Alchemist and Don Cannon.

Up until this point, Creekwater’s Shady discography was primarily limited to his five songs on 2006’s Eminem Presents The Re-Up, which was a compilation album released to introduce the newest signees to Shady Records. Still, last year did see him drop two mixtapes, Back To Briefcase and Anthem 2 Da Streetz II, on his own.
