YOUNG BUCK FINALLY OUT OF G-UNIT CONTRACT

If this is true, then i would pop some champagne for YOUNG BUCK, cos i followed him all through the hard times- when he could not make any money becuase 50 didn't give him the go ahead to work with anybody, or make a full length album. I got the news from sohh.com, and i hope they have a confirmed source.

But, really, i never thought 50 CENT would release him from that contract, but i guess that is a good move from 50. I GUESS HE WENT TO CHURCH YESTERDAY AND THE PREACHER SAID SOMETHING ABOUT FORGIVENESS. LOL! Sorry, i used the CAPS for emphasis

Below is the news;

A 100% reliable source just told us that 50 Cent has let Young Buck out of his contract with G-Unit. In April 2008 50 Cent announced on Hot 97 that Young Buck was kicked out the group, but was still contractually signed to G-Unit. Since that time, Buck has been unable to release any commercial music. Buck is currently working his new single "My Campaign", produced by Drumma Boy. It will be interesting what he does with his new position. If he can get singles reacting on the radio, he get into a good position. But considering the amount of time that he's been off the radar, it will be an uphill climb for Young Buck. (57th

So, very soon, you would soon start hearing some good music from BUCK, because that guy has some FIRE!!!

LLOYD BANKS'S BEAMER, BENZ or BENTLY GOES GOLD

I think i am really happy for this G-UNIT soldier, and i hope he made the must of the money. Lloyd Banks latest single, BEAMER, BENZ, or BENTLEY has gone GOLD; that means it has sold 500,000 digital copies. WOW! That is cool. Let me do the math, if he made 1 dollar off each sale, that is an equivalent of 500k dollars to his name; that is so cool.Even if he made 50 cents off each one...lol! He is still cool.

G-Unit's Banks scored a Juelz Santana-assisted smash in his days between leaving Interscope Records and signing to EMI.

Lloyd Banks' song "Beamer, Benz Or Bentley" has officially reached gold. Banks' longtime friend and bandmate confirmed the news yesterday on Twitter. 
Released in February of 2010, the Juelz Santana-assisted record produced by Prime became a radio and commercial success without major label backing. During the time of the heavily-remixed song's climb on the charts, Banks was renegotiating a contract at Interscope Records. Earlier this month, the G-Unit emcee finally reached an agreement with EMI Records to distribute his next album. That release, The Hunger For More 2, is planned for November, and is said to carry "Beamer, Benz or Bentley" with it, as well as the Lloyd-assisted "Any Girl."

Jay-Z and Kanye West to Drop 5 track EP

Yeah, KANYE WEST and his BOSS, Jay-Z are set to drop a 5 track collabo EP. The first track off the EP is the remix to Kanye's latest single, POWER. I haven't heard the remix, so i can't really say much about it, but i think judging from past collabo's, the two work together just fine. 5 TACKS? I think it would be dope.

I won't be checking for it, but i know it would be good. I am not just in the mood for that kind of stuff...the kind of stuff they would come out with...FOR THE RADIO type songs. I really want to hear some deep rap right now.

Anyway, i informed you, so start looking out for it.

Below is what they had to say about the album;

Ye says that "Monster" is the second song in a series of five between Roc-A-Fella's co-founder and its most successful artist.

In the last two weeks, two Kanye West and Jay-Z collaborations have surfaced. On August 12, the "Power (remix)" was leaked, featuring the Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder and the label's most successful '00s together. Yesterday, as part of what West has deemed "G.O.O.D Fridays," "Monster" surfaced, finding the two on the same song, this time with Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj and Indie Rock group Bon Iver.

According to Kanye West's Twitter, "Monster" is the second song of a five-song collaborative EP between the Chicago producer/emcee and the Brooklyn lyricist. The work will be reportedly called Watch The Throne. Details have yet to emerge regarding labels or release dates. Presently, West is a Def Jam artist, while Jay-Z left the label in 2008 after 12 years with the imprint

Eminem Rules with Recovery

Before i go on typing, i would like to apologize for not bringing the segment of top rap albums on billboard, i would bring that tomorrow.

I would like to say though, that eminem continues his dominance on the chart, as the highest selling rap album, for over 2 months now. I think the album is going out as the highest selling album for 2010. Eminem is surely smiling to the bank.

The album is selling 100k plus every week, and it has done 2.2million copies in the U.S alone. And it has sold 4 million globally. I think em has a brilliant formula for this album that would guarantee that it keep selling for a long time. The fact that he mixed his emotions with his usual wit, with his lyricism, with melodious choruses; that is a winner right there.

His latest single with Rihanna is blowing up the charts and making sure RECOVERY snags more sales..

Black Rob Blast Diddy

I don't know anybody that has worked with Diddy that has not later complained about his work ethics; about him being in one way or the other shady. The L.O.X, rap group containing JADAKISS, SHEEK LOUCH and STYLES P had an all out campaign at shows, radio, TV when they wanted to get off his label back in the early 00's after they accused him of not giving them what they were worth financially, and some one-sided benefits in his contract with them.

There was Mase, 112, and the list goes on. Who knows how he and BIGGIE'S relationship would have turned out if big had not died in 1997.

You can read what BLACK ROB had to say about him below:
"As far as all the people at Bad Boy, nobody reached out to me [when I was in jail] because all it takes is the press of a button, department of corrections, you know my name and birthday, I used to work here," Black Rob said in an interview. "When I heard this n*gga went to see [Lil] Wayne in jail and you ain't come and see BR? After all the years we spent together? Like, that sh*t didn't mean nothing to you, dawg? You actually think I'm not your man? So that right there, told me, that n*gga was never my man. You had like 50 employees, you ain't even have to write the letter -- Puff wasn't the one doing the records with me, he was just the last word. 'Good record. I like that, I wanna get on that.' He's not in the studio, 20 hours, 15 hours with me, never. It wasn't no love over there man. It wasn't no love. Dudes was just using, just trying to use me...They used the Black Rob Report as a spring board for the Biggie duet album. Puff wasn't doing nothing. He ain't have no records out. It was dry, everybody was going." (This Is 50)

Timbaland got robbed over $2 million worth of jewelry

Timbaland recently got jacked for over 2 million dollars worth of jewelry; men, that is a lot. The funny thing was that when i saw the heading, it was not written the way i wrote mine, it was written to attract readers, so they claimed he wanted to commit suicide. Anyway, his family did think he was going to kill himself, as he acted that way after he found out abot the theft.

Read below what really happened.
Here's what we're told happened ... Timbaland was on the phone earlier in the day with his brother-in-law ... deeply upset about something. We're told one of the things that was eating at him was a theft at his Malibu residence a day before. Someone had stolen a crazy expensive Jacob & Co. watch -- valued at $2 million -- and Timbaland suspected it might have been someone he trusted. Timbaland left his home yesterday and began driving. Family members couldn't locate him, became extremely worried and called the Sheriff's Department. (TMZ)


Timbo's family was nervous that the Virginia native would hurt himself after a $2 million piece of jewelry was stolen. The L.A. County Sheriff's Department brought out all the stops--a helicopter and squad cars--to try to find the Grammy-winner's Escalade. After some time, the vehicle was located and Timbo was brought back to his home, where paramedics determined that he did not present a threat to himself or others. (XXL Mag)
Where i am from in Nigeria, they would not even care about stuff like this; although it is only usual for the paramedics to do something like this, it is just odd to me.

I hope he overcomes it, and know that there is more to life than that; at least it was not his life that was taken. Although i know how painful something liek that can be.

baby on the success of "cash money records" compared to other labels in its category

Baby did a little bragging recently, but i guess he has the rights to do that, because you got to ask; where are all the other record labels that started off in the 90's? Where is NO LIMIT? Where is SO SO DEF? Where is RUFF RYDERZ? And the list goes on. I think he and his brother, SLIM, have done a lot of work in making sure they stay relevant, even more relevant than when they started off, and they are growing everyday.

"I look at that sh*t as we went through war and we sustained the weather and we stood in the fog," Baby said in an interview. "Even when muthaf*ckas counted us out, we stood up and we manned up. We did everything we had to, to get where we're at today. I think God gives it to ya when he feels you're ready for it. It took us a long time; we had to go through a lot of changes. A lot of obstacles, losses, gains. I just think right now we're so great at this sh*t. We got so many young n*ggas who look at me and Wayne and what we've accomplished. You see the hunger [that] Drake and all the rest of those little n*ggas [have] because they're reaching for those stories. We work like n*ggas who never made a dollar and I think that's impressive to them. That makes them go harder. Those little n*ggas got promising futures." (XXL Mag)

Just last week, my friend was playing JUVINILE'S "back that ass up", and i heard LIL WAYNE at the end, i was like, wow, such a long time ago. That was actually 11 years ago, and i remember how juvy was the hottest cash money artist back then. But wayne really stayed in there...i guess baby really believed in him.
