50 Cent Fires Warning Shots At Rick Ross
2008-04-01 00:03:00 Last year, 50 Cent didn't have the year he thought he should have had. He wasn't alone in thinking that. Many fans also believed 2007 wasn't quite the best year for Fif. Some even went so far as to say he may have been falling off. Now, 50 admits there were errors made, but he mainly puts the blame on the label. According to new reports, 50 is stating that the label heads, including Eminem, asked Fif not to release too many mixtapes citing that the tapes would take away from his official album record sales. "They think I'm crazy," 50 told MTV about Eminem and label heads. "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." Aside from mixtapes and albums, 50 has also been working on beef.

Prodigy's Last Words As A Free Man
2008-03-31 23:59:00 In his final video before entering his prison term, Prodigy spoke on his upcoming album, H.N.I.C. 2, respecting people who speak their minds, and what fans should expect from him upon being released. The 10 minute, self-recorded, clip featured Prodigy accompanied by his wife as he drove through the Holland Tunnel to turn himself in to his three-and-a-half-year bid. Balancing driving and recording, he slightly touched on the upcoming follow-up to his 2000 album H.N.I.C. ?I?m fittin? to turn [myself] in. I?ll be right back,? Prodigy said. ?Trust me, I?m leaving y?all with a dope album, so look forward for all of that. Video crazy. Everything?s crazy. I love it when a job comes together. The music speaks for itself,? he continued. Rather than speaking on the actual case or his personal feelings, Prodigy analyzed his current situation by looking on the more positive side. ?Take the good with the bad. Turn a bad situation to a great one, so just know that,? the Queens rapper said. Wh... More About: News , Free , Words

Gnarls Barkley The Odd Couple Album Review
2008-03-28 20:33:00 Gnarls Barkley are a musical tandem uniquely suited for each other - both men are as enigmatic as they are fascinating. Whether singing or rapping, Thomas DeCarlo Callaway b/k/a Cee-Lo lays his entire life on the line lyrically. Few artists have ever been such an open book when it comes to discussing religion, sexuality, politics and everything from self-loathing to exuberant joy. Brian Joseph Burton b/k/a Danger Mouse puts the E in eclectic like few producers have before him or since. A broad range of artists have called on Mr. Mouse for his beats, ranging from cult hip-hop favorites MF DOOM and Jemini the Gifted One to chart-topping sensations Gorillaz and The Rapture. His sound is a square peg that doesn't fit neatly into the round holes of any one genre. It would be far too easy to say his rap sounds like eletronica, his pop sounds like rock or his rock sounds like rap. For Burton such distinctions are entirely malleable - he can freeform shape music into anything th... More About: Review , Gnarls Barkley , Couple , Album , The Odd Couple
50 Cent & Ludacris Suing A Tavern For Copywrite Infringement?
2008-03-28 20:28:00 Cover bands have long used their passion to perform the songs their idols once did on the biggest stage. However, a little tavern in Spokane, WA is finding out this may in fact be against the law. Known as The Flame, this tavern/restaurant has recently been slapped with a lawsuit due to copyright infringement concerning songs that are being performed for night time entertainment. Local attorneys representing the artists involved have asked that the plaintiffs be paid ?no more than $30,000 nor less than $750.? The lawsuit and complaint were released earlier this week in which the attorneys stated, ?Neither Defendants, nor any of the Defendants' agents, servants or employees, nor any performer was licensed by, or otherwise received permission from any Plaintiff or any agent, servant or employee of any Plaintiff to give such performances.? Songs included in the lawsuit are 50 Cent ?s ?Candy Shop? and Ludacris ? ?Get Back,? along with other records from various artists. This lawsuit come... More About: Infringement , 50 Cent

Plies Talks New Female Clothing Line, Upcoming Dating Show
2008-03-22 18:13:00 It's been less than a year since his debut album dropped but Plies is already planning to release his sophomore album this June. In this SOHH exclusive, the Florida born rapper talks about his new album, Definition of Real, his upcoming reality show and his new clothing line. As SOHH previously reported, Plies is preparing to release his sophomore album, on June 10th, just ten months after dropping his debut. "To be able to turn around two albums in a ten month frame, first and foremost I do understand how much of a blessing it is to have such success on The Real Testament," he says. "To have a certified gold album in this climate definitely speaks volumes." Plies is planning to repeat the success of his first album by following the same format of keeping costs down. "I always like to keep my overhead low," he says "I don't want to be in a situation where I'm spending $2 million on a project." Instead of paying high prices for beats from big name pr...

Lil' Mama Recruits Swizz Beats & Scott Storch For Debut Disc
More articles from this author:2008-03-21 19:18:00 New York rapper Lil' Mama is breaking ground with her second single "Shawty Get Loose," finally giving her debut album a release date. The teenage rapper's most recent single, features teen sensation Chris Brown and R&B crooner, T-Pain. According to Billboard, the single moved from position 92 to 19 on the Hot 100, garnering the biggest gain on Billboard's tally this year. "Shawty Get Loose" is a follow up to her No. 10 Hot 100 smash single, "Lip Gloss."
