Yeah Bow Wow seems to be influenced by Will, he says that he wants to start be called by his real name when he does movies.

I don`t think so.Jigga said that in his next Tour he`s gonan diss some of the comercial MC`s.And on his side on Stage will be Ja Rule and also some others of the Murda Inc. Camp. No that looks like dissing 50 don`t you think? Yeah who knows maybe they do have beef now again we'll have to wait and see if Jay-Z says anything, I don't think 50 said anything about Jay-Z though but maybe Jay might be jealous that 50's outsellin' him. Ja Rule really should put the beef to rest and just come out with a hit album 'cause he hasn't really done much since 2000 either, he's been past his prime but he's still better than 50 now, I actually always liked him better than 50 if I had to choose, "Vinni Vinni Vecci" dumps on 50's whole catalog. A lot of rappers only have a few years of being on top of their game but not many have hit rock bottom as fast as 50, it seems like a whole army of rappers are gonna finish him off soon, I think that's why 50's trying to get Kool G Rap on his side 'cause he knows he needs a good ghostwriter in this battle, I swear if his next album's dope that'll be the reason why, lol.

Maybe if Em and 50 stop hangin' out maybe they'll go back to the way they were in the prime of their careers, I think both are mirror images of each other, if "Eminem Show" was Eminem's 1st mainstream album the public'd say he's as wack as 50 Cent, the stuff that 50 did before "Get Rich Or Die Tryin'" was pretty witty, lyrical, and had some flow to it, I could acknowledge that they had some skills then but with them dissin' other people so much was annoying for me to consider them my favorites. The thing is when they diss other people now they don't do it with no creative thought whatesover anymore and that's what makes them so wack now, they don't have no punchlines anymore. 1999-2001 was also the prime of his rapping just like Em, they both had a lot of street cred back then but by 2002/2003 both lost that credability, I think that 50 was rolling with Nas back then so Nas probably wrote 50's rhymes 'cause if you listen to "Power Of A Dollar" and listen to his commercial releases he sounded like a different rapper, maybe that's what lead to Jay-Z dissin' Nas on "Takeover", I think 50 and Jay are cool now 'cause G-Unit was on the "Roc The Mic" tour in 2003.

Basically like AJ said it'd be best for you to just be a friend to her and if she's really feelin' you she'll make the decision that she wants to be with you more often than her boyfriend but if not you could always hold your head high that you're there for her as a friend. I've been through a few situations similiar to those when I was in high school and I don't seem to be in contact with them anymore unfortunately, sometimes it doesn't work out but I gave it my all to try to get with them so it don't really bother me. It used to bother me more back then when things didn't work out but now I don't really worry about it anymore I just be myself knowing that I'll find someone that respects me for who I am when it's the right time that I meet someone that truely feels the same way that I do, you can't force love. I used to be more afraid to tell somebody how I feel because of rejection but now I'm more open to tell them so that way they know and if I get rejected at least I told them and didn't hold back my feelings so it don't hurt that much. Well actually that works with everything, sometimes it could hurt when you're patient, I could relate to that line in Will's "Could You Love Me", "You work like hell/still get hurt like hell". I believe that everything works out when the time's right, just approach it like you'd approach anything by keep trying to be there for her until she don't want you to.

Speaking of Eminem I read an article saying that him and 50 are becoming more distant these days, well I guess when they both run out of other famous people to diss they'll start dissin' each other... :stickpoke:

50's so wack that he makes Nelly sound like LL Cool J, dissin' all these rappers will make the public get tired of him. He thinks he's Pac 'cause he got shot and now is dissin' Dre like Pac did, he's an immiatator, maybe he wants to be killed like Pac so people could give him props forever, the difference though is other rappers respected Pac but I don't think many rappers respect 50 now, he don't seem to realise that his plan's not gonna work.

I'll be checkin' for this, Ice Cube is a legend! :bowdown:

If Dr. Dre made a song like "F***n' Wit Dre Day" that'd bury 50's career, 50 should know better than to diss the one that blueprinted the way for his career.

I remember reading in a Dr. Dre interview earlier this year saying that he wasn't gonna ever make any more albums but 50 dissin' him'll probably give Dre motivation to come back again.

Well ain't the new pictures from ws.com from the "Tell Me Why" video shoot? That's a sign that it's gonna be released, be patient. :davidblaine:

There's club songs released being hits all year though, it's unfortunate that the album is still stuck a lil' bit over 600K but it'll probably still finish the year as one of the 10 most popular rap albums, impressive for somebody in the rap game for 20 years, we all wanted it to be the top album and save the rap game though since it's a powerful album so it is a lil' dissapointing to see it not make the full impact it should've. btw, thanks for the info Frenetic.

:word: I'll keep her in my thoughts.

Well they were originally denying that they were a couple so who knows maybe they're getting married somewhere this very minute...

I thought it was just a rumor like Jay-Z and Beyonce being engaged, where did you hear this from? Most celebrity marriages don't last long, I'm surprised Britney Spears' marriage is still going, a year is a world record for most, lol. I found this just now under Bow Wow's bio: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bow_Wow "R&B singer Ciara Harris has been rumored to be engaged to wed Bow Wow. Both have publicly denied any such engagement despite Harris donning what appeared to be a large engagement ring while accompanying Moss to the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards..."

Yeah I doubt that Kool G Rap'll sign, they're probably just talkin', MOP's releasing a new album and it's not on G-Unit...

He could make $5-10 each album he sells as an independent artist though and keep his rep, the only he'd make any profit like that is if he goes platinum and I don't see that happening now, he's gonna lose a lot of respect among hip-hop heads too 'cause they think anybody associated with 50 Cent is a joke, he should just retire...

Kool G Rap is considered one of the least commercial oriented mcs and one of the most respected in hip-hop history, I don't understand the logic of him signing with 50 Cent who's nothing but a rap gimmick that'll be forgotten a few years from now, you'd figure that he'd take Nas' side in the Nas-50 beef.

Chuck D does make a good point there about how people shouldn't diss Vanilla Ice so hard for what he did 15 years ago and be open minded to give him a listen to what's he's doing now instead of callin' him forever wack, he's probably better than a lot of wack mcs out now especially since Chuck D collabed with him when he don't usually collab with too many rappers. btw, how did Beastie Boys' "Licensed To Ill" get to 9 million sold? I thought it went double platinum in the late '80s just like JJFP's "He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper" and Run-DMC's "Raising Hell" did, I find that number misleading. The reason why I was wondering how much "The Score" sold is 'cause Wyclef boasts in one of his songs: "22 million sold, no group alive could achieve this!"

Maybe 50's lookin' for ghostwriters to write a song dissin' Nas...

50 Cent To Sign Kool G Rap, Lil' Scrappy; Plans Label Positions For Newest Signees Thursday - October 20, 2005 50 Cent Photo Credit: Interscope 50 Cent may be adding a few more big name artists to his already stellar roster at G-Unit Records. He spilled the beans on Saturday (October 15) during an interview on BBC's Radio 1 Rap Show in London, where he said he may be signing Kool G Rap, Beanie Sigel and Lil' Scrappy. During the interview with host, Tim Westwood, 50 stated that he plans to remodel hip-hop. And to start off, the aforementioned artists will be next. "Everybody wants to be affiliated and a part of what we are doing right now 'cause we got the best camp," said 50. "I'm entertaining the idea of Kool G Rap; we talked and had conversations. Beanie Sigel, we talked to Beanie. [And] Lil' Scrappy is coming over to G-Unit." Although, there is no official word, 50 continues to express interest in possibly adding them to his artist roster. In addition to 50 scouting new talent, he plans to move some of his newest recruits -- Mobb Deep and Mase -- to corporate positions within his label. And even noted that they will sign new talent as well. "You'll be seeing, probably Mase moving into a corporate position. You'll see Prodigy and Havoc start signing new artists 'cause they are really experienced artists. In the A&R department, can't nobody A&R better than the actual artists," 50 told Tim Westwood. But wait, that's not it. 50 has big, bright plans for his G-Unit company. Currently, G-Unit Records is an imprint under the Interscope umbrella, but he plans to branch off on his own with plans of being the next Def Jam Records. "We getting ready to do something so big," 50 explained. "We are already making up 70% of the black music at Interscope. Eventually, we're just gonna move over, create our own radio staff and everything else -- just move away from it and be the [next] Def Jam." Aside from running his label, 50 Cent is preparing the release of his big screen debut, "Get Rich Or Die Tryin," along with the film's soundtrack. The film, which is loosely based around his life story, will hit theaters November 9th with the soundtrack dropping the day before. — Ronnie Gamble

Those sales sound realistic but what site did you find this on? I didn't know that Pac's greatest hits sold that much but I should've known since everybody jumped on the bandwagon after he was killed they buy anything that's his now, JJFP's greatest hits didn't even go gold, damn shame, how much did Fugees "The Score" sell?

I found this quote from one of Chuck D's Terrordomes from April 2000 where he talks about Vanilla Ice: "This news already out before I even said yea or nay. I hear that eMpTyV leaked out a report that VANILLA ICE’S next album is gathering PE for a collab. Well not exactly, CONFRONTATION CAMP is possibly gonna do some work on it. It was just talk but now the CAMP’s band element, CHAINGANG, will come to the table with some involvement. I don’t think cats know that the leader, KYLE JASON, will take on many, damn near most, collabs and cares less about making ‘the cool move’. KYLE hates most industry cliques and standards and relishes ‘underdog s***,’ which is why he nods his head to this move as long as it’s aggressive. Reading the ENEMY BOARD’S comments I feel what cats are saying to an extent but don’t confuse the two. CONFRONTATION CAMP, and KYLE especially, doesn’t want carry over PE fans for the namesake of it. I’ve told him that’s gonna be hard, with both myself and GRIFF, and even DJ LORD, in the group. As far as my take on it, as long as the music’s aggressive I’m ok with it. I look at VANILLA ICE beyond his early 90s trip and I’m honest about that. I think perception is important, but it rules robots just a bit much these days. If people wanna hold his art and consider him forever wack it’s an unfair assessment to evaluate in 2000. In 1990 there were probably a LOT OF SUBURBAN MCs across Amerikkka who didn’t develop until the mid-late 90s, and probably just obtained their total skills in the past few years. I happened to meet this guy when he was a kid in 1988 opening up for PE on tour in OKLAHOMA CITY. I’ve made that no secret. Tried to sign him then, it didn’t work out and I wished him well, which he did. Always said if the right thing came along there’d be some room to work together. The right thing I considered is the rap/metal collab, which I’ve always liked, and I dug his last project. CONFRONTATION CAMP is getting off the ground and a lot of cats will be uncomfortable. The members are cool with that…"

Yeah that quote's probably from 3-5 years ago, I don't think LL would say that now. :stickpoke:

Outlawz "Our Life"(Novakane-2001) btw, I didn't know Notorious BIG did "Lean Back", I thought that was Fat Joe.

JJFP "Brand New Funk"(He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper-1988)
