50 CENT TEAMS UP WITH BEANIE SIGEL TO GO AT JAY-Z.

I knew it was just a matter of time before 50 CENT would pick up BEANIE SIGEL and make him go harder at JAY-Z. If you don't know, that is what 50 does; he uses his money and affluence to tear groups apart. He did it with the DIPSET CREW, when he got JIM JONES and JUELZ SANTANNA to go on stage with him when his beef with CAMRON was still on; he did it with PAPOOSE and REMY MA against FAT JOE (He went on radio with REMY MA and PAPOOSE and made negative comments about joe and made them laugh at it' he also promised pap a deal with G-UNIT), He promised J-Hhood a deal and made him go on stage with G-UNIT when the G-UNIT/D-BLOCK beef was on...And the least goes on.

BEANIE SIGEL and 50 CENT have a track out dissing JAY-Z, titled "I GO OFF". That is the second diss track beanie sigel would be releasing going at jay-z in the last 3 weeks.

This dude(50 cent) knows how powerful money is, so he dangles a corn infront of the donkey, and the donkey keeps moving in the direction of the corn, but never getting the corn.

50's album is dropping in days, and he needs some buzz to hype up the album, and he uses a bitter man's misery for that. Beanie sigel is currently fighting jay for not being of help to him, and also not letting him off his contract, and what does 50 do, he uses that opportunity to help Sigel amp-up what he has to say, in return for more light on him. You just watch how fast he would drop beans as soon as his 'BEFORE I SELF DESTRUCT ALBUM' drops. I just really feel bad for sigel, because this would realy not take him anywhere, unless he has a really solid plan, because i don't see anything he would gain from this.


Below is what 50 had to say at the end of the track:

"Yeah, you changed man," 50 says toward the song's completion. "You let the money change you, Jay. You used to be from Marcy, [Brooklyn] n*gga. Now you a pass the Grey Poupon a** n*gga. You don't want the shooter? I'll take him. [laughs] N*gga, feed the wolves or else the wolves feed off you. Eat your a** alive! I live by a combat's creed. Strategy. Your move, n*gga."

What 50 is said is funny, cos it's like he is talking about himself. 50 made tones of enemies once he got the money and the fame, and he is talking about the money changing someone.

I got to say i ain't on JAY'S side either, i am just saying 50 can not justify that statement. And as per beef, jay would tear him apart. It would have been more interesting to see a battle between GAME and JAY-Z.

MASE WANTS TO DO A SONG WITH CHRIS BROWN.

I am one of the dudes that stood by MASE'S side when the whole world , rappers and regular individuals, were throwing jabs at him for coming back into the rap game. Not that i supported the fact that he had to ruin the relationship he had with his savior, the almighty, but the fact that he still had that gift, that talent to just rap, now, that is why i had his back.

I can't say i have liked all his moves since his return; moves like joining G-UNIT, moves like dissing LOON and FABOLOUS, moves like walking around like 50 CENT's boy in the video of WINDOW SHOPPER, but i think he can still make those hits.

I think the reason he is back is because he has that passion for rap, and he knows he can still make good rap songs. I particularly liked how he made the WELCOME BACK album; he was on fire on most of the songs, but you could not point out in any song where he went astray from his new found religeon.

So, word is out on the streets, or rather, on twitter, that MASE wants to do a collabo track with CHRIS BROWN. I think that would be dope, because you know he was always the ladies man, so him and chris brown would definitely click/connect.

Below is what mase had to say on twitter:

"@MechanicalDummy lets do a smash," Mase wrote to Chris Brown's Twitter account on Thursday (November 12). "@Mattd8 The tape is being dropped internationally and nationally next friday I DO THE IMPOSSIBLE...5 different DJ -> one in London, Canada, China, Korea and the US...The tape is being dropped internationally and nationally next friday I DO THE IMPOSSIBLE..The tape will be hosted by 5 different DJs -> one in London, Canada, China, Korea and the US...I want to do 75 records with people by Valentine Day... I want the record of the most features that were amazing... didn't say I had a hot mixtape I said I want my day one dudes back I'm tired of dealing with people I don't know --> thats all." (Mase's Twitter)

Wow! I am happy to hear that mase is working pretty hard; trying to make 75 songs by valentine? That is cool, and i hope they would all be dope. He should just connect with the right set of people and make the comeback the right way. It would be good to have him come back full time; it seems everybody from JARULE, to DMX is trying to make a comeback, why not MASE?

REDMAN TALKS ABOUT DEF JAM IN NEW INTERVIEW.

I am a big REDMAN fan, i would stand by it anybady that he is/was a better rapper than METHODMAN is and can be ever be. A lot of people used to choose meth over red cos of meths voice; but you got to feel what red be spitting, and know that this is one skilled, intelligent individual.

When i heard him on EMINEMS top 10 favorite/greatest rapper list, i was not surprised; it showed me that even in the midst of all that gimmick/cartoonic rap shit that em does, he still could recognise the talent in redman.

I bumped into am interview of redman on hiphopdx.com, and i want y'all to read and know how humbly this great rapper is:


HipHopDX: First of all, congratulations on the success of Blackout! 2 and on an outstanding show.
Redman: Yes, thank you. Redman in the building!

DX: So how’s it going? How’s life?
Redman: Everything good. Blessed, I’m still living. We still got our arms and legs, we’re breathing. That’s enough for me.

DX: Now, before we get into the album, let’s talk Def Jam. Recently, Def Jam had its 25 year anniversary. As you were and are a big part of the label’s history, what can you say about its legacy?
Redman: [Pauses] Their legacy is…monumental. Their legacy painted a picture in Hip Hop. Definitely. I’m glad to be a part of that legacy. Their legacy is what all businesses, I would say, would want to take action in looking how they rose from the bottom to the top. This is like any business: whether you selling toupees, whether you selling records – whatever you’re doing, you want your business to grow. And their progress is definitely an outlook on what all business should take a look at – how they grow as a family. Now, just like any other business, you know, you always got an outcome at the end. But as far as their legacy, how they grew as a business and as a family, is monumental. I don’t think…I have never seen nothin’ like that before. To grow as a business…and have fun in doing it.

DX: You kind of smiled a little when you brought up how the business ends up. Does that say something about your opinion on the business right now?
Redman: Well, first of all, everyone starts with doing the business with their heart in it. They got the heart to do business, and grow as a family. But you know, as most businesses and most groups, something always ends up fuckin’ it up. With Def Jam, we grew as a family, and we all had the heart to do the music, and making artists, and blowing artists up. And when that left, that’s when Def Jam left.

DX: Do you single out any particular artists that, when they left, that’s where Def Jam…
Redman: No. Because it wasn’t the artists, really. Mostly the staff, the people who started it. Once that’s gone, and the new wave come in, then hey – it’s just like any other business.

DX: Are you talking about Rick Rubin and Russell Simmons?
Redman: Yeah, but even with Kevin Liles, when he left. Just crazy, man. But I’m still here, and that’s what it’s about. I’m still reppin’ Def Jam, fuck that.

DX: Where does your relationship with Def Jam stand today?
Redman: It’s like, they know I helped Def Jam grow to where it is, and I’m a vet artist. I’m not making records to sell two million, three million or whatever. They just appreciate me, that I held the label on my back all these years, and it was certain times in Def Jam life that I saved Def Jam – I can actually say that. Lyor will tell you that story if you ever bump into Lyor Cohen.

I actually can say I helped save Def Jam, and that I helped raise that family. My relationship now is, “Hey, Redman wants to come out with a record. Great! Let’s get him some money and let him do his thing.” And I appreciate that – fuck it. Because I’ll always have a job.

DX: You’ve spoken about signing to Shady Records on more than one occasion. Why did that never materialize, and is that still possibly in the cards?
Redman: Well, I never preached about it. Somebody just asked me, and I said, "I heard Shady Records was gonna fuck with me," and I will fuck with Shady Records. Because they’re new, I love Eminem as an artist – me and Eminem connected a long time ago, and he doing his thing. And for him to even make a statement, or even have Redman on his mind, like "Yo, he ain’t fuckin’ with Def Jam, bring him on over," I appreciate it. So my hat’s off always to Eminem. If Shady Records woulda picked me up, I would went over there.

It wasn’t nothin’. At the time when that was goin’ on, Def Jam was goin’ into they little funk, they didn’t know what was going on with that company. And as it is, it’s kinda pickin’ back up, but the love is not there like it used to be – it never will be there.

DX: Speaking of Eminem, he has repeatedly mentioned you as a major influence, and even called you his favorite emcee on his song “Till I Collapse.” What do you make of that?
Redman: First of all, I heard of Eminem when he used to be in Brick City.

DX: With The Outsidaz, right?
Redman: Yeah. Hard to believe, Eminem used to be in Brick City. And from him hangin’ with my dudes and showing Outsidaz love, I immediately connected. Like, I ain’t even really hear him. But just by my boy sayin’, "Yo, he’s dope man, show that nigga love," I was like, fuck it, hell yeah! White boy rappin’? And then I hear him and he’s extremely dope? I was just like, "Wow. He’s talented." And he came to the hood. So he’ll always get my hat off. Eminem…that’s my dude. Besides me going to his house, and we connected in the studio, I’ve run into him on many occasions. My hat’s off to the dude.

And as he said – me as his favorite artist – I appreciate that. I appreciate that I can influence some of these artists, and that I can actually say that the artists I influenced, they actually blew up. They actually did something with themselves. Like Ludacris. Ludacris said the same shit. My hat’s off to Ludacris, too. And for them to even mention me, and I know they new cats…to say I had influence on them, and that they blew up, that’s a big thing. I’m cool. I’m blessed, that’s good for me. I don’t need no money, I don’t need no recognition.

DX: Is there a possibility of collaborations with Eminem in the future? “Off the Wall” was nine years ago!
Redman: It’s like whatever, man. I guess when the time is right. Eminem know I’m around, I ain’t hard to find. Me and his peoples are always in touch. [Paul] Rosenberg and my manager…if I need Em, or really need to get in touch with him, I could do it. Whenever he reach out, "Yeah. Let’s do a song." So it’s nothin’. Paul, what’s good, baby?

DX: I’d like to play a game real quick – it’s called "What Would Redman Do?" What would Redman do if, while accepting a lifetime achievement award at the Grammy’s, Kanye West got up on stage and interrupted you?
Redman: Kanye [West] wouldn’t have gone up on stage and interrupted me. I’m not sayin’ it like in a negative way. I’m saying it, as for me, a nigga like me, I been in the game – it ain’t like I’m a new person in the game. I’m a vet. So to get a Grammy, you know, is something big. So you know I’ma be in that bitch deep. And my attitude is gonna be, "Yes, I finally did somethin’ for my mama." So my heart and my passion on walkin’ on stage, and accepting that award, and telling people how I feel, will let a nigga know – any nigga – don’t come in that nigga realm fuckin’ with that nigga shit. Because I will let loose on that stage.

I see what Kanye was tryin’ to do. I don’t talk about political things like that. He knew he was maybe a little bit out of order with that. It was just…it’s a right place and a right time to do things. When he did things before, it was cool – it was just the wrong place at that time. He know it now. He probably looks back at it like, "Damn! I was an asshole that night!" He’s a fuckin’ talented artist, so fuck everybody. He’s on my label, so fuck that. I’m ridin’ whitcha Kanye! I forgive ya!

DX: What would Redman do if, while performing Da Rockwilder, Lil Mama got up on stage in the middle of your verse?
Redman: I’da been like… "Who the fuck is this bitch?" until I know who she was. 'Cause I’m blind, I can’t see. Like I can’t see no further than that door right there. So them I woulda been like "Who the fuck is this bitch?" then I woulda been like, "Oh, that’s Lil Mama! What she doin’ over here?" Then I’d be like, "Fuck it. If we partying, then we partying." That’s the way I woulda looked at it. The more, the merrier.

DX: What would Redman do if someone tried to steal his Smart Car?
Redman: Well if I could catch ‘em…

DX: It goes zero to 60 in a day, right?
Redman: [Laughing] shiiiit…yeah, I’d definitely run and catch ‘em. You know, I’d just get my shit back, that’s all. [Mumbling] Asshole with a fuckin’ problem…

DX: What would Redman do if Christina Aguilera called you up and said she’s been dreaming of you ever since you guys recorded “Dirrty?”
Redman: That’s an interesting question. Uh, I’d call her back and be like, “Word? Am I on motherfucking [Punk’d]? Nigga, am I getting motherfucking pranked right now?” Yeah, that’s what I’d ask. I think I’d be on [Punk’d]. I’d think I’d be gettin’ pranked.

DX: But if you weren’t?
Redman: If I weren’t…I’d be like, “Oh, word?” I’d still say “Oh, word,” and be like, “Nah, I’m chillin’.” Yeah, I’d tell her I’m chillin’. I’d just tell her I’m chillin’. That’s unless, if she was really was like “Yo, I’ma fly you out here,” then I might have to go.

DX: Hey, free trip, right?
Redman: Yeah, free trip. I might have to go. See what she talkin’ about. Free trip.

DX: What would Redman do if How High 2 won the Oscar for best movie?
Redman: I would thank my people, and I would really take advantage of that Oscar and go do other films, and use that privilege that they give me to really tear Hollywood up, and bring some real movies out. ‘Cause I’m trying to direct. I’m trying to learn how to direct. So I would definitely do that. And I’d thank everybody, because I wouldn’t believe How High would get an Oscar. But if it did, I’d get high that night, celebrate, and use that Oscar to do more shit.

DX: What can you tell us about the new album…is pronounced “Reggie Noble OH Nine-and-a-half?”
Redman: [Exasperated] Yeah it was “Oh Nine-and-a-half,” but we had to change it to “Reggie Noble Nine-and-a-half.” Really, the basis of this album is to let Reggie Noble come across with some lyrics. Matter-of-fact, just put it all plain and simple, Redman is not on this album. It’s Reggie Noble. “Redman presents Reggie Noble.” Reggie Noble – the difference between that [and Redman] is you know what to expect from a Redman album: hard beats, hard lyrics, Funk. But Reggie Noble’s stepping out the box. Reggie Noble going into different sounds, Reggie Noble going into Pop sounds, Reggie Noble doing this, hard, all over the place.

I’m just releasing this as a free album to Def Jam. I was supposed to be coming out with Muddy Waters 2, but I’m coming out with that album next year. I ended up putting this album together while I was doing the Red and Meth album [Blackout! 2], so this is an album that I was like, “Hey, I put it together like a mixtape, so here.” Reggie Noble 9 ½ , December [8th, 2009]. I think you’ll enjoy it. I got a song that’s Poppish on there as a motherfucker, ‘cause I don’t give a fuck, I love music. It’s called “Stalker.” It’s crazy. I got a record for all the stalkers out there! All the guys that be stalkin’ chicks, and peeking through the window – I got a song for you, baby! I got a song! Y'all check it out!

DX: Between Malpractice and Red Gone Wild, you had a six year break. Now, you’re coming out with this album and Muddy Waters 2 right away. What’s changed for you that you’re turning up the rate?
Redman: Turning up the rate…financial-wise, that’s why. Second, Def Jam, within those years, was…scattered. It was violated. It wasn’t being ran right. After I dropped Red Gone Wild, and even before that, just seeing how it was ran and seeing how my connection with Def Jam – when I called or just…it just wasn’t right. I was just ignoring ‘em. I was just doing shows and getting money otherwise. Hustlin’ my ass off. So when they finally came around and got they shit together, I was like, “Okay, I’ll try something.” I see how it is now, though. We in a digital world, so it don’t even matter what they fuckin’ think no more.

DX: When I was at Rock The Bells in New York last year, I noticed that while other emcees were chopping it up, you seemed to be content chillin’ with who I assume was your family. Are you a very private family man? How do you keep that world separate from the Rap world?
Redman: I’m not a private family man. Like, everyone know I got kids. Um, I keep it separate by…I love kids. I love my babies. They keep me young, they keep me fresh-lookin’. It’s like, they know what I do. My girl, she know what I do. You gotta have an understanding woman, too. Like, you know, “I know what you do out there, but you just have to respect home.” And as long as I respect home, everything is cool. It’s just like any man. Like my mother always say: “A woman gonna be a woman, and a man gonna be a man – regardless.” It’s just about the respect level. Some men just fuck up and disrespect the home. I always keep my home tight, fresh. Then I go out and have fun. I go be an emcee, I go be Redman.

As far as the home life and separating, it get hard sometimes. First of all, I’m a road baby. A lot of emcees can’t say that. Me, I’ve been on the road since 19 with EPMD. And I’d been living with EPMD until I was 25, 24 or whatever. Those years, and I ain’t have a kid until I was 27, so within those years, and being on the road, never getting a real job, never having a real girlfriend, or learning morals of relationship and honesty and all that – I ain’t have that. I’ve been fuckin’ on tour since 19! So when did I have time to learn that? I’ve seen women in and out of my life all day, every day. So now, trying to make that happen and be a family man years ago, it was hard – but now I got it down pat. You just have to not disrespect home, and it’s cool. And I think your kids make you work harder and strive harder for more shit. So I love it.

DX: Method Man called you out jokingly a few years ago in an interview, saying you’re the reason Rockwilder is so short, saying “Blame Redman for that one!” What do you have to say about that?
Redman: Yeah, they always say that. But they don’t remember that we did two verses to “Da Rockwilder.” We did do two verses, but it didn’t sound right. So I said, “Let’s cut it short.”

DX: So Meth’s just putting you on blast, huh?
Redman: Nah, nah, he got his point. 'Cause Rockwilder kinda said the same thing. But it wouldn’t have been like it was if it wasn’t so short. Makes you wanna fiend for moe.

DX: More important than anything…how come we don’t see you picking your nose anymore?!
Redman: Ah, man. I do pick my nose, but not as much. ‘Cause my allergies was off the hook when I was younger. I grew older, they kinda calmed down. I got bad allergies, so they kinda calmed down a little bit as I got older.

DX: Tell me some super, mega ultra exclusive shit that no one else knows.
Redman: Oh man, I don’t really get into all that shit, man. Do y'all hear me in trouble, man? Y'all don’t hear me in trouble or none of that shit because when I get in trouble, I’m in the hood. It’s some real shit! If I go to jail, it ain’t no motherfucker takin’ pictures…I’m in some hood shit, where it’s goin’ down and ain’t no camera people around. It’s some real hood shit. Believe me, if I have some exclusive shit, it’s shit I can’t tell ya’ll motherfuckers! ‘Cause it’s some real hood shit. I don’t get caught in this political…this shit they got out here with these Hip Hop Cops. I don’t fuck around with none of that shit. I don’t fuck around with these bitches with these books, and none of that shit. I just keep to self, and keep to this music, man. Yeah, with everybody with a camera, you can’t fuck around…all my exclusive shit was back in the day when they ain’t have the camera and the Internet! Them shits is old right now, ya’ll want some new shit, I ain’t got it! But when I come across it, I’ll let y'all fuckers know!

GAME TALKS MORE ON THE RED ALBUM AND WORKIGN WITH DRE.

You know i am a big GAME fan, so you would always here it first, anything that has to do with him and his album, i got that for you. Even if it has to do with his personal life, i got that to...nah, i am just joking; it's all music hear, all about what is good in rap.

Several weeks ago, GAME surprised people on his TWITTER page when he posted a picture of him, SNOOP and DR DRE; up before then, people thought he would never get with dre again. Following the 2005 disbandment of GAME from G-UNIT, DRE's silence on the matter, made everybody believe that he was on 50's side; so as long as game and 50 still had their beef, people never believed they would see game and dre together again. And the fact that dre did not appear on, or did any production on game's last two albums, L.A.X and DOCTOR'S ADVOCATE, further cemented this in the mind of a lot people. So, it was really a big shocker to a lot of people.

The picture showed the three in the studio, and game twitted that they were working on DETOX, dre's album. Now, and recently, game has been talking about the good doc putting some work in on his album, THE RED ALBUM, and that would be real good news for the game fans.

I am a game fan, and i know he got mad skills, but sometimes, he does not know in what direction to go. I think this link-up with dre will do a lot of good for the album. I can't wait till it drops in FEB, Feb 16 2010, to be precise.

Below is what game had to say about the matter when he called into DJ GREEN LANTERN'S show, recently:

"R.E.D., I'm just painting the whole world red," Game promised in an interview with DJ Green Lantern. "It's basically the re-dedication, it's my most hood and street album since The Documentary so it's basically being rededicated to my fans, my family, my kids, my block, my hood. Like, hip-hop, the R.E.D. Album is gonna be crazy. I'm back in with Dre everyday going hard in the studio doing the little stuff, working on Detox with him and he's working on The R.E.D. Album with me. It's just, we got a good feeling out here...I did my last two albums without Dre and even though, I just did it on my own man. When I talked to him, he [was like] I've been doing a good job and he took a listen and I did my thing. I learned well, my time at Aftermath was spent well, so getting back in, that old feeling came back. The chemistry is crazy, I got a lot of love for that dude and that's why I never really disrespected him or really went at Aftermath, I only did what I had to do to survive man, but I got love for dude and we back in grindin' man."

50 CENT'S 'BEFORE I SELF DESTRUCT' ALBUM LANDS NUMBER 1 SPOT ON ITUNES.

50 CENT'S fourth album, BEFORE I SELF DESTRUCT has reportedly landed at the number 1 spot on the digital store, itunes. The album is moving digital units, i am happy for dude. I am always happy for anybody that is making money in this recession.

Okay, that apart, i would like to predict what the actual physical copies of the album would sell when it hits stores next week tuesday, on the 16th. From my analysis, REAKWON'S album, ONLY BUILT FOR CUBAN LINKS, was ahead of JAY-Z'S BLUEPRINT 3 at itunes, but when the albums dropped physically, jay sold over 400k and rae sold a whopping 86k. I am not dissing my nigga rae in anyway, i am just trying to state a point. When you are talking digital, you know anybody can buy from any part of the world at the exact time it goes on sale, but physical sales don't work like that.

50 has a lot more fans internationally than in AMERICA at this point in his career, so it is only natural that he sells more internationally, so if you ask me what i think he would sale in the U.S, i would say between 150-350k, nothing more, but he could sell less, i can't really say, but i stand by that range.

Below is what they had to say at sohh.com:

50 Cent's new album, Before I Self Destruct, which was yesterday exclusively on the iTunes Store, has already skyrocketed to the number one spot on iTunes' album chart. iTunes customers can purchase the album as a deluxe version with two exclusive tracks and iTunes LP, which includes 90-minute gritty coming-of-age film Before I Self Destruct, written, directed and starring Curtis Jackson (aka 50 Cent); the Two Turntables And A Microphone: The Life And Death Of Jam Master Jay documentary about 50 Cent's late mentor and friend, hip-hop pioneer Jam Master Jay of Run-DMC; exclusive photos; lyrics; animated package artwork and more for only $9.99. (Press Release)

RICK ROSS COMMENTS ON NAS DEF JAM PRESIDENCY POST

A couple of weeks ago, it was rumored that NAS had been offered the post of DEF-JAM president, a post formerly held by JAY-Z. He, nas, confirmed the rumor and said he is still thinking on what his decision would be.

Rick Ross was asked about what he thought about the issue, him being under DEF JAM, and he had this to say:

"I love it," Ross said about Nas being considered for an executive position. "I love when I hear an artist finna to get some other motherf*cker's money. We deserve it all, I can't lie. I want rap n*ggas to takeover everything, might as well f*cking do films too. It is what it is but at the same time, man, you know, Nas been in the game. I believe his track record speaks for itself and if any label is gonna do it, I feel it should be Def Jam. Def Jam is the Hip-Hop Hall of Fame. There's so many legends that came through the game after you've had a successful recording career as an artist, I feel there's a lot more to benefit, experience-wise, so why not capitalize off of it instead of giving it to a motherf*cker straight out of Howard University who ain't ever put a mixtape together, give it to a motherf*cker that did it all." (SOHH)

I am a big NAS fan, but i do not think it would be a good decision for him to take the post; that is just my opinion. Nas has always stayed true to the art of hip hop, and would not, through out his career, make any move that contradicts that. And i think taking up this post would have to see him bending his rules once in a while. He would have to approve what sells, and not what is really hip hop. Or if he stays true to the roots, and the company does not make money like they should, what would they say? Would they label him a bad president?

This is just what i think. I might be wrong, and i might be right, i do not know. Or maybe, this would bring the best out of nas and make him pay more attention to promoting even his own albums, as he would be supervising other people's projects. I said this because nas is a great rapper, but he gets to lay back some times. There are times when he drops an album, and it takes him like 5 months to drop a second video, and when he drops it, he does not give it the push it needs. I don't know; maybe it's this mystery nas surrounds around him that keep people wanting more from this talented rap guru.

All in all, we will have to wait for his decison, and i think it would give def jam some light in a different direction, which would be interesting.
