The Game admits leaving G-Unit was dumb

2009-07-02T17:06:54Z

In a recent interview with MTV, The Game admits that his chemistry with 50 Cent on records was crazy and that leaving G-Unit was a dumb thing.

Although he apologize to 50 Cent and Jimmy Iovine he doesn't regret and feel he paved his way into Hip Hop andis now a force of his own.

"Jimmy always says, 'Man, I told you guys not to break up the Beatles,' " Game said. "He says he told John Lennon the same thing a long time ago. But I was young, man. I was dumb. I did a lot of dumb things. I felt me and 50 clashed. I'm not gonna dis 50. I'm not gonna go back on the plane. He had his side, I had my side. I did what I felt was necessary for me and my career to have longevity and survive in hip-hop and music to be around when I'm Quincy Jones' age — not just be Quincy Jones' age, but be a Quincy Jones.

Now, four albums in, I can honestly say from Banks to Buck to Dre to Yayo to whoever, if it would have kept going, endless paper. Millions of albums sold — because we were great together. Me and 50's chemistry was like how Method Man was to Redman when they get in. You know when Method Man gets with Redman, it's going down."

The Game also adds : "As a family, we had it. If we never [broke] up, I think Detox would have been out and we all would have been selling millions from Banks to Buck, Tony Yayo. I'm gonna apologize for my role."

Just a few weeks ago, 50 Cent told MTV he has no desire to entertain the Game...maybe this leave an opportunity to bring back the original G-Unit ??

2009-06-30T07:58:00Z

Royce 5'9's unwavering passion for music and hunger for the game keeps him in the studio day and night. For further proof, look no further then the amount of music he will be releasing over the course of the next three months, which will undeniably validate Royce's place in the pantheon of Hip-Hop's elite lyricists.

While Royce preps the release of his highly-anticipated "Street Hop" LP, (which will be released on 9-22-09) which is executive-produced by DJ Premier and has already generated overwhelming critical accolades alone with the release of street-singles "Shake This" and "Part Of Me" and the forthcoming self-titled debut LP from the buzz worthy Bi-Coastal conglomerate Slaughterhouse (Royce 5'9, Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz & Crooked I) this summer.

On the heels of both releases, Royce will first be releasing a Digital only EP entitled "The Revival." "The Revival" will be released on 7-7-09 and it will include new tracks from Royce's "Street Hop" LP along with a new unreleased Slaughterhouse track and will be available at all major digital retailers. Royce will also be debuting a new single and video for "The Revival" in the very immediate future. Likewise, each member of Slaughterhouse will also be releasing a new digital EP throughout the month of July and each release will contain a new Slaughterhouse track that will not be included on their debut.

With so much good music ready to be unleashed on the masses Royce asserts "I'm looking forward to releasing new music and touring this summer. Street Hop has been in the works for almost 2 years and the release date will be here before you know it. The Revival will give people a chance to see what I've been up to and what to expect from the album. The month of July will belong to Slaughterhouse with the release of our full length group album and solo EP's from me followed by Joell, Joey and Crooked. We will show fans why we are the ones to watch."

Michael Jackson family orders second autopsy

2009-06-28T18:13:00Z

Jackson family orders second autopsy amid suspicions about star's doctor.

Michael Jackson has died. He was 50.

Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon at his Holmby Hills home and paramedics were unable to revive him. We're told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back.

A source tells us Jackson was dead when paramedics arrived. A cardiologist at UCLA tells TMZ Jackson died of cardiac arrest.

Once at the hospital, the staff tried to resuscitate him but he was completely unresponsive.

Late on Saturday, the Los Angeles Times reported the autopsy had been completed but there was no word on the findings.

Family patriarch Joe Jackson told People magazine, ''We don't like what's going on.''

The Jacksons later issued a statement to fans describing the death as ''one of the darkest moments of our lives''.

The Los Angeles Coroner's office said on Friday that a preliminary autopsy on Jackson was inconclusive and a final cause of death would not be known until exhaustive toxicology tests were completed in ''six to eight weeks''.

Joe Jackson told Fox News that Michael Jackson's three children were in ''fantastic'' spirits at the family's compound.

Veteran US politician and activist Reverend Jesse Jackson, who is not related to the family, said he had spent Friday counselling the family.

And he revealed that family members were angered by lingering questions surrounding Jackson's death and were focusing their attention on the role of Dr Murray, whom the singer had hired just last month.

We're told one of the staff members at Jackson's home called 911.

La Toya ran in the hospital sobbing after Jackson was pronounced dead.

Michael is survived by three children : Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince “Blanket” Michael Jackson II.

Jackson's family members were huddled at their compound in Los Angeles where they have gathered since the most famous member of their clan died suddenly on Thursday (Friday morning Canberra time) at age 50 after suffering an apparent cardiac arrest. On Saturday, Los Angeles police conducted a second interview with doctor Conrad Murray, the only person with him when he collapsed. A spokeswoman for the cardiologist, Miranda Sevcik, said he ''clarified some inconsistencies'' over the death.

''Investigators say the doctor is in no way a suspect and remains a witness to this tragedy,'' Ms Sevcik said.

Frustrated by the lack of hard information, the family requested a second autopsy on Jackson's body, which was being kept at an undisclosed location, officials and local media reports said.

BIG RICH NEW ALBUM "HEART OF THE CITY"

2009-06-28T15:11:00Z

Fresh back from E-40's highly successful "Wake It Up Tour", Big Rich is set to release his sophomore album "Heart Of The City".

After releasing the critically acclaimed album "Block Tested Hood Approved" on Street Cred/KOCH Records in 2006 and the ground breaking San Francisco Anthem in 2008, Big Rich is proving that he is here to stay.

Now in 2009, on the verge of Big Rich's new solo release "Heart Of The City", he is wiser, worldlier shows us a different side of Big Rich.

"On my album 'Heart Of The City', I'm talking about issues happening in every city (not the glamorous/tourist side) on a daily basis. I'm trying to capture the mood of rolling through your city and seeing different things going on in your everyday life. I'm telling my story through the eyes of a hustler's lifestyle : not a gangsta, a drug dealer, a politician, but a person who once struggled and now enjoys the journey after the fact."

Though both of his previous releases reached nationwide attention with MTV and BET airplay, Big Rich insists he is not satisfied. Still hungry for more "Heart Of The City" is Big Rich's best work to date.

The official lead single "Ballin", produced by Automattik, is currently in heavy rotation on MTV, in the streets and catching a large amount of attention from radio stations throughout the entire West Coast. Other tracks on the album like "Pushin," were produced by D-Animals and "Fly Gangstas" by M.A., shows Big Rich's growth as a nationwide artist, whose music has reached new heights. Along with his heavy bass street anthems "I'm Back," "Wassup" featuring Glasses Malone and "Summertime" featuring The Jacka, Big Rich continues to deliver his trademark sound.

Guest appearances include Glasses Malone, The Jacka, Dem Hoodstarz, 3 Story Gang and more. Along with production by 3 Story's own in-house producer D-Animals, Automattik and M.A, also contributed tracks to the album as well.

After 2+ years since the release of "Block Tested Hood Approved", Big Rich remained relevant in the Bay Area Hip-Hop scene with several street albums, countless guest appearances and staying in rotation on MTV. Never backing down from a challenge, Big Rich is prepared to survive through our country's and the music industry's current recession by adapting and adjusting to the times.

"Heart Of The City" will be a fully independent album, released via his own label 3 Story Muzik/Street Cred Music Group and will hit stores on June 30.

Missy Elliott Planning A Biopic

2009-06-28T08:38:36Z

Missy Elliott is preparing to open up about her traumatic past on the big screen - the hip-hop star is planning a biopic about her rise to fame.

The Lose Control hit-maker, real name Melissa Arnette, has seen worldwide success since kicking off her music career in the 1990s.

However, her younger years were not without controversy - she was repeatedly raped by an older cousin from the age of eight and saw her mother being abused by her father, who pulled a gun on the pair on one occasion.

And after nearly two decades in show business, during which she became the only female rapper to have six albums certified platinum, Elliott is preparing to tell her life story in a forthcoming film.

She tells Elle magazine, "It's happening ; I've just got to find a great writer because I wouldn't want my story watered down. I went through a lot, and I accomplished a lot, and I want people to know how it all went down."
