50 CENT THREATENS TO LEAK DR. DRE’S SINGLE ON TWITTER
Jul 28th
The G-Unit captain had announced plans to release his fifth album this fall, but is now threatening to pump the brakes.
“Man I’m not releasing a album i can’t believe interscope is this f*cked up right now. I apologize to all my fans,” wrote a fuming 50.
His anger is likely related to the handling of his latest single “Outlaw,” which is currently No. 141 on iTunes. “I will work with other artist on there projects,
but I will not put out another album,” he continued. “They dropped the ball with me one time to many.”
50 also vowed to leak a single off of Dr. Dre’s Detox album. “I LOVE DRE but I’m putting his next single psycho out tomorrow at 2:00 #SK,
” he said. “Your gonna love it its a big song I just don’t think it deserves a great set up sense they can’t seem to get it right when it comes to me.”
50 later returned to Twitter to clean up his mess, he said. “I hate when I can’t present my music the way. I feel it should be but f*ck it check out I’m ON IT.”
He also backed off his threat to leak Dre’s record:
“I wouldn’t leak dre’s record he has done nothing but help me in my career. jimmy has always been supportive of me.”
He was obviously threatened by the Illuminati, for talking aout the side of his neck….smh.
Rick Ross’ Twitter Account Hacked By 50 Cent Impersonator
Jul 20th
A clever hacker changed Rawse’s avatar and background to 50 Cent icons and wallpaper and posed as the G-Unit general.
Last night, a 50 Cent impersonator hacked into Rick Ross’ Twitter account (@rickyrozay), changing the background, name and profile picture to that of Fif’s page and posing as the G-Unit leader.
The updates began last night with a tweet stating, “I want to impact peoples lives more. I created a new goal for my self, I want to feed a billion people in africa over the next 5 years.” For the next two hours, the 50 Cent impersonator interacted with fans, tweeted at Shawty Lo and telling aspiring rappers to call G-Unit and ask for Dr. Dre.
After inflicting the damage, the hacker said that it had been an “entertaining social experiment” and that “if you think 50 Cent really has the mental capacity and/or time to hack a Twitter account, you’re even more gullible.”
50 Cent Weighs In On Label Politics, 2Pac’s Shooting & Ja Rule
Jun 20th
Fif touches on a number of topics and clarifies what went wrong with Interscope Records.
In addition to dropping off his new single “Outlaw” last night, 50 Cent called into Funkmaster Flex to address claims made against Interscope Records earlier that day. During the interview,
Fif insisted that he’s always been ahead of the curve in terms of promotion and marketing, but that the label isn’t seeing eye-to-eye with him.
“I sat through the meetings, I tried to go through the regular politics, the red tape on how you’re supposed to do it, but that doesn’t work for me,” he said. “I’ve always done it and everybody’s played catch-up with me. With Jimmy [Iovine] and them, we all sat and talked about it and it seemed like everyone was moving in slow motion, so I’m gone.”
The G-Unit leader also touched on Dexter Isaac’s confession to being involved with the 1994 shooting of Tupac Shakur, saying that he doesn’t understand why this would come to light 17 years later.
“I think whoever dude saying he was involved, I don’t know why he would say that right now. I think they’re upset with Jimmy [“Henchman" Rosemond]. Because at this point, the statute of limitations would be up on that kind of situation, and he’s saying it without actually damaging his credibility of being a rat by saying the statute of limitation’s up. He was saying that he just feels bad about it, but he knows that Jimmy has some terrible legal problems right now. So to say that is just piling it on him. He’s done, they’re going to wash him up, Flex.”
As for his former nemesis Ja Rule, Curtis said he has some intel that he’s going to face some trouble while behind bars. “When you destroy something, you’re supposed to destroy it completely. Now he’s gone, now he’s gone completely. I even know what joint he in. He’s up in… I don’t want to say that, because a psychic told me he’s gonna have some trouble in there. Yeah, I heard that, but that’s when you put your ear on the street and you hear things.”
50 Cent always gives his opinion about the music industry, It’s never good advice but always something negative about another rapper.
Ja Rule Says 50 Cent & G-Unit Hurt RAP MUSIC
Jun 11th
As Ja Rule prepares to begin serving his jail sentence, he spoke with Rap-Up and regarding the state of hip hop and the “G-Unit” era.
Rule says that he there was a significant change in the rap game in the 2000′s that was for the worst. Here is what he had to say…
I do miss the old days because before the whole beef thing, we all used to get together, have softball games, and bond together. I think that camaraderie got closer after Big and Pac passed, and I think we made a conscious effort as hip-hop artists to try and be better with each other.
That era was great and then the G-Unit era came in and was built on so much hate, anger, and jealousy that I think it put everybody in that space,
even the fans. And then all of a sudden, it wasn’t fun no more.
The whole aura changed. You’d get artists that followed that come up like, Wow that sh*t worked for him.
I’m gonna start a beef with such and such.’ The whole vibe of hip-hop went dark.
I agree with Ja Rule, hip hop was calm until 50 cent entered the rap game and brought the negative energy with him.
50 Cent to Launch A Cell Phone App and Dietary Supplements
May 27th
50 Cent has inked endorsement deals with a group that makes cell phone apps and a dietary supplement company.
Although his music may not sell quite as much as it used to, 50 Cent has devised a wide variety of ways to make money regardless. Now, the G-Unit general is preparing to break ground on a new cell phone venture.
50′s long-time manager Chris Lighty recently spoke to Billboard about the Queens rapper’s new deal with UberMedia to launch Uber50, a custom theme available to users of of UberMedia’s Blackberry-based Twitter app UberSocial. Lighty explained that the deal actually came about at a time when UberMedia’s future in the Twitter sphere looked most dubious.
“[The deal between 50 and UberMedia] was [struck] during the period that Uber got locked out of Twitter and got fined,” Lighty said. “[50] had to use a different app. He was one of them [going crazy] and one of the more vocal [ones.] Uber saw that and contacted us.”
Lighty also indicated that 50 Cent plans to expand his brand futher into the health foods market. In addition to his lucrative deal with Vitamin Water, 50 plans to lauch a vitamin supplement company that cater to stores like GNC.
“We’re working on a new supplement company,” he said. “We’re going to build new supplements cause it’s a big opportunity like Vitamin Water was. We want to market and promote it when we put out 50′s album. There are different options of penetration for supplements through music; like going to GNC [for] protein shakes, vitamins, [etc.]. No beverage. When you go to a vitamin shop, there’s no one of pop culture [representing], it’s mostly muscle heads. We’ll cut through the clutter with 50 in the store saying, ‘You want to be 10% of me so take what I’m taking.’”
50 Cent making money, all the way around!
50 Cent Explains Beefs With Diddy and Jadakiss, Promises New Album
May 15th
50 Cent recently spoke on why he has an album in the vault that he will not release and why he has chosen to reconnect with former rivals.
The head of G-Unit recently met with Funk Flex at Funk Flex Full Throttle, a new show on MTV.
The inaugural episode featured 50, who also ensured fans that he is nearly finished with a new disc.
When asked about his work to mend relationships with former rivals,
50 said he felt it was necessary at times. He also added that certain beefs were never personal.
“Some of it is Hip Hop. It’s just the competitive nature of the art form. Like with Jadakiss’ situation, that was just Rap.
I don’t have a reason to beef, When you look back at it, when two years go by, and you say,
‘Why don’t I like them?’ And you can’t remember why, then you know it’s Rap.”
This led to a discussion around Diddy, someone 50 has had words with in the past. Their feud began when he spoke about extorting Diddy on “How to Rob,” saying he’d “snatch Kim from Puff.” Later, their feud escalated when Fif said Diddy was not “biggin’ up his brother,” but added that he was only giving love to the Notorious B.I.G. as a form of “biggin’ up his bank.” He also compared the head of Bad Boy to a “bitch” in a separate interview. Diddy also shared his displeasure with 50 Cent by saying his “breath stinks,” adding that he’s “ashy” and that he’s “a sucker,” before calling him a “hating ass crab.” However, now it seems the two are on good terms.
“I’m not upset with [Diddy] at all,” he said smiling, adding that they speak on the phone from time to time.
“He’ll call me like, ‘What’s the next move, playboy? Why I feel like you doing this?’ And I’m like, ‘Nah, nah, it ain’t nothin’.'”
Aside from rehabilitating relationships with Hip Hop peers, 50 has also been working on a lot of music.
During his interview, he also added that he is presently working on a brand new album, one that will replace a disc that is already in the can.
“I’m working on a record now. I’m almost done,” he noted. “I recorded a whole album before this one that I kept…Because I want to make sure it’s completely up to my standards. I’m critiquing myself.”
This goes to show you how phony, these silly little *rap beefs* are smh.
50 Cent Pulls Plug On “Sleek By 50″ Headphones
May 8th
50 Cent is out of the audio business. The Queens, New York rapper has canceled his “Sleek by 50″ line of pricey headphones after Sleek Audio announced that it has ended its contractual agreement with 50’s licensing company G-Unit Brands. While no reason was given, Sleek explained that they will be “re-evaluating our Wireless Hybrid over-the-ear headphones at a later date.”
The G-Unit henchman unveiled his wireless headphone line back in January, when he debuted the hardware at 2011 International Consumer Electronics Show.
“I know music and I’ve tried everything on the market as far as headphones go, but I wanted something different, something better, that really pushed the envelope and gave all music fans a new way to listen to their favorite artists,” he said at the time. “I was fortunate to find Sleek, the technology they employ and their knowledge of how we hear music truly blew me away. It was a perfect match, I didn’t want to create another pair of loud headphones, I wanted to create headphones that offer top-level performance, style and new technology.”
He later hinted at a beef with Interscope head Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre, who were apparently angry with Fif for competing with the popular Beats By Dre headphones.
Good luck 50, but i dont think you can compete with Dr. dre’s head phones .
50 Cent to Star in New Bruce Willis Flick
May 6th
50 Cent may be hard at work on his upcoming Black Magic LP, but most of his recent creative output will end up on the big screen rather than record store. 50, real name Curtis Jackson, now has plans to star with Bruce Willis and Josh Duhamel in an indie drama entitled Fire With Fire.
Produced by 50′s Cheetah Vision along with Emmett/Furla, Voltage Pictures plans to sell the movie at the Cannes Film Festival next week and is expected to officially start production on June 27, 2011.
The story focuses on a fireman in the witness protection program who, threatened by a man he plans to testify against, has to dramatically bend the rules of engagement to save the love of his life. The film is part of a 10-picture, $200 million deal with Lionsgate handling the U.S. releases.
Jackson’s other films under the deal and in progress include Setup, which stars 50, Willis and Ryan Phillippe, as well as the police drama Freelancers.
Fire With Fire will be directed by David Barrett from a script written by Tom O’Connor.
I hope it turns out good!
