Young Buck Responds
with Unofficial Diss Song

New York,
NY – Lately, news has circulating all across the industry that Young Buck has been officially dropped from the G-Unit roster. 50 Cent recently went public to MTV News
about dismissing Young Buck from the group indefinitely and gave his personal
reasons why, stating that it was primarily due to drug problems and
inconsistent behavior. After 50 left his comments on the interview with MTV,
Buck apparently responded with a song stating his irreconcilable differences
and basically letting all the dirty laundry out on a track he calls ‘My
Interview.’ The track was e-mailed to MTV Studios sometime last week.

These were
the collected lyrics of the opening verse to the track ‘My Interview’:

“Damn
right I’m sipping syrup, flipping birds to get what I deserve/And I hear the
same things that you heard/ That ’50 kicked him out’ or ‘Buck sniffs coke and
he flips out’/ It’s too late, the whole world know what I be about/ Shit, I do
make mistakes like any other man/ Shit, I recoup off an album, quicker than you
can/ Am I loyal? Dr. Dre can answer that for ya.”

With harsh
and angry tone, he continues to lash out personal issues between the two as the
hook states as follows:

“It
ain’t nothing I ain’t been through/ Seen the evil shit that men do.”

At press
time, Buck is still working on his music surpassing G-Unit and is slated to
drop a DVD in June. It is confirmed that Buck is no longer with the group;
however he is still signed to the G-Unit label as well as Interscope. 50 also
confirms that Buck will remain on the group sophomore LP, ‘Terminate on Sight’ that
is slated to be released on June 24.

On the
real, 50 has recently been maniacally egotistical and overexerting his power to
an unneeded extent, he needs to calm the hell down. Either way, Buck doesn’t
need G-Unit; he has gained the creditability to do it on his own. It might be a
good look to go back with Cash Money; they are making plenty of power moves.

 

Jermaine Dupri
Reveals News on Upcoming MC and Usher Albums

New York,
NY – R&B is definitely pushing with full force, it is apparent that with
the release of Mariah Carey’s ‘E=MC²’ and Usher’s upcoming, ‘Here I Stand,’ R&B is officially going to reign over
the course of the summer. Recently, Atlanta based mega producer, Jermaine Dupri spoke with MTV News about their upcoming albums and
revealed some information about Jay-Z collaborations and his initial
production.

It has
always been obvious ever since their past albums that Jermaine Dupri have the
honorary position to include his production in both Mariah Carey’s music and
Usher’s music. JD always worked well with these two talented artists individual
over the course of their careers, spawning hit after hit giving proof that
their voices and his elements mesh well together. He boosted stating that Jay-Z
has guest spots in both MC’s and Usher’s album and both tracks were produced by
him. Hov is confirmed to be on MC’s ‘Bye, Bye Remix,’ that JD adds has a little
more upbeat tempo from the original. Hov has also graced Usher’s album by
featuring on a track called ‘The Best Thing’ which has also been confirmed to
make the album.

JD left
this additional statement to MTV News:

“It’s
cool, they not really sappy. It’s not a sappy song. Usher’s album is more about
teaching men [that] at some point, you gotta grow up. And growing up is
respecting a woman and having a woman in your life and taking care of your
woman. That’s his definition of growing up. A lot of other niggas have a
different definition. That’s his definition of becoming a man, taking care of
home. This song is kinda like that. It’s a responsible type of record. When
that girl you settled down with, she leaves you. You realize you lost the best
thing that ever happened to you.”

“The
hardest part about this Usher album is that I’m not involved in the record-company
process, this is the first album where we’re not in charge of who picks the
singles. So I can’t speak on that part of it. I would hope it would be the next
single. It feels like it should be. Usher left the studio saying it was the
next single. But he also told y’all weeks ago [that] ‘Moving Mountains’ was the
next single. Lyric-wise, hearing Jay-Z say what he’s saying and Usher saying what
he’s saying, people wanna hear this. I could tell you that. Niggas wanna hear
that.”

At press
time, Usher’s ‘Here I Stand’ is slated to be released on May 27, 2008, while
Mariah Carey’s ‘E=MC²’ was released on April 15, 2008, but doesn’t officially
include the Bye, Bye Remix, unless she decides to re-release the album under
another deluxe edition.

Mariah
Carey has always released those chart toppers throughout the span of her career
and will apparently continue to do so as her music progresses, and now that
Jay-Z has stepped into the picture we have a certifiable hit record on our
hands. The only thing is JD needs to stop bragging all the time on what he did
or what he’s planning to do. Didn’t his mouth get him into trouble with Dr. Dre, Eminem, and Timbaland the last time?


50 Cent Upset with
Alicia Keys Comment

New York,
NY – In the most recent issue of Blender Magazine, Alicia Keys had some choice comments to say about the origins of
Gangsta Rap and its existence in the music industry. After reading the article
and hearing the press surrounding the statements released by Keys, G-Unit
leader, 50 Cent added his own two cents about her choice comments.

Keys
statement to Blender Magazine goes as follows:

“Gangsta
rap was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other. Gangsta rap didn’t
exist.”

That
statement caused a slight wrinkle in the industry and shocked a lot of people
including 50 Cent. According to the Associated Press, Keys omitted another
statement saying that her comments were ‘misrepresented’ and that she wasn’t a
‘conspiracy theorist.’ When Blender was confronted, they said they stood by the
story.

This is
what 50 Cent had to say about Alicia Keys as stated to The Showbuzz:

“I don’t like
Alicia Keys no more though, the same reason why I said that I don’t like Oprah
Winfrey, I’m prejudiced. I don’t like people who don’t like me. If you don’t
like the content that I write because of my experiences; I am being who I am
when I am writing it. I fall into that ‘label’ as far as you considering artists
creating ‘Gangsta music,’ we fall into that.”

“If she
don’t like that, then I don’t like that classical music shit she be doing. At
some point she’s playing some shit that don’t relate to me. We listen to it and
try to figure out why people actually enjoy it. I am trying to enjoy it. That
statement changes my perception of Alicia Keys totally. But the magazine is
standing behind it, which means they probably have a tape of her in
conversation saying it. It’s just not really a bright comment anyway.”

His
perception of rap music derives around an art form and believes in its value:

“I think
hip-hop is so competitive, that the competitive nature, the art form makes it a
competition. I don’t think that a lot of people who judge hip-hop actually
enjoy it as an art form. They aren’t into it enough to understand what they are
listening to and they just hear disrespectful lyrics going back and forth and just
say ‘oh they’re fighting’  so it’s got to
be negative if it’s fighting. To just make reference to what hip-hop was from
the very beginning was just two artists battling. Battling turned into beefing
after Biggie and Tupac passed because unfortunately that turned into real
incidents in the street.”

50 Cent’s
rap history and rap in general has shown a lot of different issues that people
might not agree with, but at the end of the day, entertainment is still
entertainment, we all can agree to that.

On the
real, I personal can’t stand 50’s egotism, but I have to admit that he’s right
on this issue. Alicia needs to think before she says anything harsh about the
business she’s basically around. A lot of people might agree with her and a lot of
people might not. This basically opens up a good debate issue on what people really
think about “Gangsta Rap.”

 

Bill Cosby to
release his own Hip-Hop Album

Los
Angeles, CA – Decades ago, we remember the Huxtables and their segments on the Cosby
Show. Bill Cosby delighted fans all across the
nation with his quick wit and comedic parental style. He practically made
America full in love with the Huxtables over the course of the middle 80s,
early 90s. We have long since forgotten of the JELL-O spokesperson, until now.
Apparently, the Cos is preparing to release, get this, a Hip-Hop album of his
own.

The title
of his album is slated to be ‘Cosby Narratives Vol. 1: State of Emergency.’ He
states that the elements will be a mixture of Hip-Hop, Pop, and Jazz with
Comedian Concepts. With the addition of different guest rappers, he states that
it will take a more subtle approach and involve issues of confidence and
self-esteem.

At press
time, there is no actual set date, but is said to be released sometime next
month and that will he will continue to work on Volume 2, after the release.

I give the
Cos credit for trying to fuse the Hip-Hop world with the subject teachings of
positive nature, however, will his album sell, that’s another story. Either
way, his jump back into the limelight adds a bit of an interesting news story.
