Havoc disses Kanye

For whatever reason, Havoc from Mobb Deep has chosen to toss some verbal jabs at Kanye West. The video below was apparently shot right before the Saigon/Prodigy fight a few days ago. In the video, Havoc says that he loves Kanye's production but he's coming at him because his production is better. Could it just be a little friendly competition? You be the judge...

Jay-Z working on a new album


Jay-Z To Release New Album, 'American Gangster' in November

Jay-Z is currently in the studio working on his next album, the NY Times reports.
The album, 'American Gangster' which is inspired by the upcoming flick of the same name will be his first concept album and should drop in September.
Hov' got the idea after he was shown the film in which Denzel Washington plays the role of Frank Lucas, an early 1970s Harlem heroin kingpin.
“It immediately clicked with me. Like ‘Scarface,’ or any one of those films, you take the good out of it, and you can see it as an inspiring film,” Jay-Z said.

The movie drops November 2 which means that the album could drop the next Tuesday, November 5.
The first single should be 'Blue Magic' produced by Pharrell Williams and should drop in the coming weeks.
LISTEN HERE
Jay-Z spit a few bars from a song titled 'No Hook':
“ ‘Poor me, Dad was gone, finally got my Dad back, liver bad, he wouldn’t live long, it snatched my Dad back.’ ”
Please don’t compare me to other rappers. Compare me to trappers.

I’m more Frank Lucas than Ludacris. And Lude is my dude, I ain’t trying to dis.

Just like Frank Lucas is cool, but I ain’t tryin’ to snitch.

I’m-a follow the rules, no matter how much time I’m-a get.

I’m-a live and die with the decisions that I’m-a pick.

Kanye West crushes 50 Cent in sales showdown



LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Kanye West sold almost a million copies of his latest album during its first week in U.S. stores, winning a much-hyped sales race with rival rapper 50 Cent and providing the ailing record industry with a rare piece of good news.



According to sales data issued on Tuesday by tracking firm Nielsen SoundScan, West's "Graduation" sold 957,000 copies during the six days ended September 16, while 50 Cent's "Curtis" trailed with 691,000. West also bested 50 Cent in the U.K.

West's tally is the largest for any album since 50 Cent's previous release "The Massacre," which opened to 1.1 million units in March 2005 and spent six weeks at No. 1. It surpasses the 860,000-unit bow of West's previous album, "Late Registration," which spent two weeks at No. 1 in 2005.

Based on first-day sales, pundits had expected West's latest album to sell more than 750,000 copies for the week.

The rivalry between the rappers -- which both said was more of a marketing invention than a reality -- rekindled faded memories of a time when excited music fans would swamp record stores to snap up new albums.

The music industry has been in a tailspin for the better part of a decade, ravaged by piracy, and it's rare for albums to debut with such hefty numbers. In fact, for several weeks this year, the top seller sold less than 100,000 copies. Overall album sales so far this year are off about 15 percent from the year-ago period, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

"I am very excited to have participated in one of the biggest album release weeks in the last two years," said 50 Cent, who will forever have to live down a promise that he would retire if West beat him.

"Collectively, we have sold hundreds of thousands of units in our debut week. This marks a great moment for hip hop music, one that will go down in history."

Until last week, the largest sales week of 2007 had belonged to rock band Linkin Park's "Minutes to Midnight," which opened to 623,000 units. The biggest week of 2006 went to country combo Rascal Flatts' "Me and My Gang," with 722,000.

Both West and 50 Cent -- whose real name is Curtis Jackson -- are signed to the world's biggest record company Universal Music Group, which is owned by French media concern Vivendi

Fat Joe releasing new album


Imperial Records, a division of Capitol Music Group and Terror Squad Entertainment have signed a new deal to distribute Fat Joe’s next album, The Elephant in the Room, which is slated for an early 2008 release.

“Working with Imperial is one of the greatest moves I ever made in my life!” Fat Joe said. “I never made as much money in my career as I have since I went independent. The Elephant in the Room is guaranteed to be a classic.”

“Fat Joe is in a zone on this album, which is now his eighth solo work and I think it’s his strongest to date,” Neil Levine, Senior VP/GM of Imperial said. “It’s truly amazing to be working with an artist that’s getting better and better over time. He’s never sounded more confident. I’m extremely pleased to be working with Joe once again and we’re getting ready to do big things!”

Fat Joe’s new release is the follow-up Me, Myself and I, which featured the double-platinum single “Make It Rain.”

Fat Joe’s The Elephant in the Room will feature production from Scott Storch, Cool and Dre, DJ Khaled, Danjahandz and the Runners and will feature guest appearances by P. Diddy, Rick Ross, Fabolous and more.

50 Cent: '5 Rappers I Would Take Out of the Game'

On BET’s Rap City today, 50 Cent named five rappers he would like to see removed from the industry. They include

Ja Rule – for obvious reasons
Fat Joe – 50 says Joe’s not really a tough guy
Nas – 50 says Nas didn’t do the right thing with all the publicity he created for Hip-Hop is Dead
Game – 50 would take Game out of the game for having no loyalty
DJ Khaled – 50 named Khaled before saying that he wasn’t an artist and that he wasn’t nothing without features.
Cam’ron – just the mention of Cam’ron had his G-Unit friends screaming “Curtis!” in the background

When it was mentioned that Kenny Chesney could outsell both 50 Cent and Kanye, 50 Cent noted that they “still have CD players in pickup trucks.”

50 Cent To Add Jim Jones to the G-Unit Roster?

Another G-Unit member?
50 Cent was hosting BET's Rap City today and he introduced his next guest saying 'I told you earlier I was gonna bring somebody new into G-Unit, I might have a new signing, I might not. It's your man Jim Jones right here.'
Jim Jones enters and says: 'I came here to show some support. G-Unit is one of the few movements I respect in this game. I'm a hustler so I'm always open for money. It's still Diplomats though, baby.'
'I got a new deal pending. Somebody just offered me a whole bunch of money that I can't refuse,' he added, saying the deal was 'pretty much done'.

Jimmy doesnt really need the G-Unit hype he probably better of staying with the Dip-Set. When Juelz drops his new album the dip set gonna be back on track...

Early results: Kanye outselling 50???

Early sales result show that Kanye West is outselling 50 Cent.
50 Cent announced a few weeks ago that if his new album, "Curtis," did not outsell Kanye West's new album, "Graduation," during their first week in that he would retire as a solo artist.

Stores across the country report more Kanye sales, even in NY.
"It's probably at 3 to 1, with Kanye outselling 50 with our sales so far," Carl Alvarez, urban buyer for the Virgin Entertainment Group, said. "I anticipated 60% of people picking up both, but we anticipated Kanye selling more."

An Amazon.com spokeswoman said the site will be tracking sales for each album via a graphic on its music page all week. At midday Tuesday, West was outpacing 50 Cent more than 2 to 1.

"We're probably a little stronger on the Kanye side of things, due to our customer base," Best Buy senior vice president Gary Arnold said. "Kanye's base seems to be a little broader than 50's base, so if I have to anticipate results, I'd probably give the nod to Kanye this week."

--

My personal opinion is that Kanye's record is way better than 50's and that 50 wont quit as an solo artist if he loses the battle...what do yall think??
