50 Cent finally releases the official video ‘Major Distribution’ featuring Snoop Dogg and Young Jeezy. Directed by Eif Rivera. This is off his upcoming album “Street King Immortal” dropping this spring.
French Montana stopped by Hot 97′s Angie Martinez Show to discuss some of his upcoming work and to talk about the recent twitter beef he and 50 Cent have been indulging in.
Rick Ross speaks with Felisha Monet about backstage incident with Young Jeezy at the BET Awards and explains how Gunplay got separated from the MMG Squad at the awards. He also throws a jab at 50 cent in the boxing game. “It’s Nothing Personal”.
50 Cent showcases his expert driving skills and classic flow in his new video for “My Life,” the lead single off of his upcoming album “Street King Immortal.”
The video features vocals from Adam Levine as well as a couple of verses from 50′s fellow Detroiter Eminem. The video shows 50 and Eminem attempting to avoid the blinding spotlight of a helicopter chasing them. Eminem does his running on foot while fifty takes the more stylish route, choosing to evade his captors in a sleek, black car. Levine evens out the mix of outlaws, appearing in no way phased by the thick smoke invading his personal space. The video was shot at Michigan Central Station, an abandoned train station in Detroit. Video from the shoot hit the web in October though Detroit Urbex. At that time, the film crew said they were shooting scenes for a shoe commercial.
New video by 50 Cent talking about his new single ‘New Day’ feat Dr. Dre and Alicia Keys.
Every artist has a particular starting point in their musical career and in Hip Hop that point usually begins with the release of a mixtape. During his interview with VEVO Lift, Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar spoke on the impact his mixtapes have had in his career and even commented on being inspired to drop a mixtape thanks to 50 Cent’s projects.
Mixtapes for me is really the start of my career and this goes all the way back to when I was 16 and I was at my homeboy Dave’s garage. We was looking at what 50 Cent was doing and seeing that no money was behind these tapes and they was just getting buzz where they was from. Not only New York, but it came all the way to the West Coast. We wanted to follow that recipe, ‘Let’s do it too. Let’s put 12 tracks on a CD and burn ‘em up and pass ‘em in the city and see what it do.’ It wasn’t no super big scale, but it was the start.
Chris Lighty was one of Hip-Hop’s most successful executives, helping/managing the careers of numerous artists such as 50 Cent, Diddy, Busta Rhymes, Mariah Carey, Q-Tip, Missy Elliott, Mýa, Diggy Simmons, Cormega, Ja Rule, Mobb Deep, LL Cool J, Nas, and more. Violator Management founder Chris Lighty has passed away in his Bronx Apartment, according to numerous confirmed reports. The cause of death appears to be suicide. A gun was recovered next to his body. His last tweets from 2 days ago are troubling: He retweeted the following: ‘Life is about perspective. It’s not what you see, but how you see it. What you see is what you get.’
50 Cent’s Street King Immortal single, “New Day” featuring Dr. Dre and Alicia Keys, has been gaining traction ever since his release. But, like with any song that involves Dr. Dre, there’s a lot that goes into it. In this new interview the hip-hop mogul goes into the story behind the record, how the beat, verses, and everything else together, and what it took for it to drop. The song is the lead single off 50′s upcoming Street King Immortal album, slated to drop November 13th.
50 Cent stays busy and releases another music video off his DJ Drama-hosted mixtape, The Lost Tape. I Ain’t Gonna Lie. Video directed by Eif Rivera.
In addition to his recent interview with Oprah and nights out at PartyCasino , 50 Cent has confirmed that his next official album, Five (Murder By Numbers), will drop July 3rd. The album, which comes out after the Lost Tape and The Big Ten mixtapes, will be his last under his deal with Interscope. “I said I was gonna put a record out that was completely up to album standard, and I’m gonna do that. I worked on this album for a long time. It’s been three years,” he said. 50 further discussed the relationship he’s had with Interscope: “Labels at different points, they drop the ball,” he said. “It’s not visible when the momentum is feverish. For me, with Interscope, all the success I’ve had in music has been with them.”
50 Cent gets locked up in the comical video for “OJ,” yet another release off his Gangsta Grillz mixtape The Lost Tape.” But this ain’t your ordinary prison experience. Sporting an orange jumpsuit, the G-Unit chief cruises the jail house halls eating Cheez-Its, performing a blessing in the church, and making out with the female warden. Watch 50 take charge behind bars.
New music video by 50 Cent performing his new song ‘Murder One’. New mixtape from 50 Cent “The Lost Tape: Gansta Grillz” is 50′s first “Gangsta Grillz” mixtape of his career. Hosted of course by DJ Drama and with features from Kidd Kidd, 2 Chainz, Eminem & more.
Some folks may have thought that 50 has dropped off of the hip hop radar, but he’s still plugging away in the studio and putting out new material. Check out an interview where he discusses “The Lost Tape” and his plans for its release.
Here’s a look at the new music video by 50 Cent and his new song, “Put Your Hands Up” off of The Big 10, mixtape available for free download here. The video itself is a bit of a story, which means the directors took a bit more effort than just putting Fif in front of some flashing lights. However, the intro is a bit drawn out, and seems like a bit of an excuse to put hot chicks in the same dress. The rest of the video does pick up from there, and even shows off a bit of 50′s humorous side. Check the method below.
A little while ago, I put up a post about 50 Cent’s “The Big 10″ mixtape, for which he’d be shooting a music video for every song. ‘Off and On’ is the first video to drop from the mixtape, directed by Jackson Smith which features some pretty tight body paint. Check the method.
The master of musical mischief himself, 50 Cent announced the other day on twitter that he’s releasing a new EP titled “The Big 10″, and that he’d be shooting a music video for every single track. For those of you who remember the Deluxe Edition of The Massacre, we know that shooting a music video for every one of 50′s songs may not be the best idea. A majority of the videos on the bonus DVD were vastly inferior to the professionally funded, and label distributed hits off the CD like ‘Candy Shop’. But as a 50 fan, I hope he’s learned from his mistakes, and I greatly look forward to seeing what he’s got cooking in the kitchen for “The Big 10″.
The G-Unit name has been all over the world for years now, but some of the newer members of the Unit have not. In the video blog straight from 50, the ENTIRE G-Unit crew takes a trip to Vegas, and whiles out in what seems like one of the funnest company retreats imaginable. Check the method.
Rick Ross’ private jet made an emergency landing in Birmingham, Alabama, 2 hours ago, en route to his concert in Memphis, (TMZ found out).
It’s the second time today where a plane in which Rick was a passenger made an emergency landing. TMZ broke the story … Rick Ross suffered a seizure this morning on a Delta flight that returned to the Ft. Lauderdale airport.
Rick Ross went to the hospital, was released, and then took off at 5:07 PM ET from Ft. Lauderdale to make his concert tonight in Memphis. But at 5:44 PM CDT, the plane was diverted and landed in Birmingham after he had a seizure on board.
Ross is currently in a Birmingham hospital emergency room. They do not know his condition.
Interestingly enough, when asked if he had any words for Rick Ross, 50 Cent tweeted: ‘Yea he gotta take care his self RT @adamjohnston99: @50cent Any words for Rick Ross?;
5:05 PM PST: MyFoxMemphis just tweeted, rapper Yo Gotti will replace Rick Ross at Memphis Madness tonight.
4:57 PM PST: We’ve just confirmed with the hospital that Rick is in STABLE condition.
Busta Rhymes – N*ggas In Paris (Unofficial Remix)
I’m a firm believer in the truth that some beats are just made for certain rappers. Jay-Z and Kanye West destroyed the beat for their newest single “N*ggas In Paris”, and no one can say their approach to the song was anything less than stellar. However, it never occurred to me what a monster like Busta Rhymes could sound like over a beat that seems to have been designed for his flow. Click the pic above to take a listen.
Tyga ft. Drake – Still Got It

Being label-mates, it only makes sense that Tyga and Drizzy-Drake would come together for a single eventually. But I was thoroughly surprised by the quality of the record they were able to produce. I can’t wait to hear ‘Still Got It’ playing over the airwaves soon. Click the pic above to take a gander.
50 Cent ft. The Cataracs – The Enforcer

Unexpected collaborations are nothing new to Fif, especially after tracks with Justin Timberlake, and Michael Jackson. But his newest step outside of the box is with The Cataracs for the “Real Steel” movie soundtrack. A nicely paced, memorable electro beat wouldn’t be the first thing you’d expect to hear 50 Cent on, but it works quite well. Click the pic above to listen.
While 50 Cent’s original plan was to feed 1 billion African children in five years, he’s revising it slightly. He thinks he can do it in two and a half years. Fif has a lot of fundraising irons in the fire to achieve this ambitious goal. And the first up is his Street King energy drink. He is donating proceeds from sales to the cause. The drink hit shelves this week and has already sold out in many stores nationwide. The high number of pre-orders of the beverage enabled 50 Cent to send the United Nations a check towards hunger programs. But energy drinks alone won’t feed a billion kids, so 50 Cent is brainstorming all sorts of ways to put food on the table. He said he is in talks with Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Usher and Drake about the initiative. His party for the SK drink seemed to be quite the event. Check the method.
Everyone in the hip hop industry is well aware of the hit making capability of beat master Scott Storch. He’s a legend who’s worked with The Roots, Dr. Dre, Christina Aguilera, Fat Joe, Game, 50 Cent, Paris Hilton, and Nox, (just to name a few). But when he announced his OWN solo album, I was curious to see what he had in mind. Check the method below.
G-Unit has been all over the world since 2004, but one of the most interesting video’s I’ve seen from them isn’t on MTV, but from their own personal stash. A video surfaced recently about their trip to France, and their shows in Colmar and Cannes, check the method.
In the entertainment industry, the only thing better than success is seeing people around you doing big things. From Tokyo 24, to b.FUNK, it seems everyone I talk to is making huge strides, and Carmel Candy is no different. The UK model has been state side since June, and has been tearing up the east coast from the minute she stepped foot in the US. Check out her interview on This Is 50 Radio, when even Fif himself pops in to say a few words.

The newest sensation out of the Bay is making some pretty huge waves in the music community. Kreayshawn has had her track ‘Gucci Gucci’ all over the radio, and in Entourage (my favorite show ever) and even got Weezy to spit over the beat. So with the song gathering so much speed so quickly, it’s no surprise that producers and DJ’s have been throwing out remixes. However, none of those other remixes are from me…. So I decided to jump on the bandwagon and take a crack at it. The result is what some people have described as “better than the original”, but I don’t wanna take it that far. I will say however that this is one of the funnest projects I’ve worked on all year. Check the method below, and click the picture above to download the track.
People all over the world have watched the evolution of Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson from new gangster rapper, to radio sensation, to world wide musical entity, to actor, to business man. But VH1′s RocDoc is focused on the opposite direction, the past, 50′s history as a person, and the legacy of those in his family that came before him. Personally I find these types of stories very interesting, and the fact that it’s 50 makes it even better. Check the method below.
