Fabolous: More Street Dreams, Def Jam: Less "Growth"

"To the left, to the left/ Everything is hustle to the death for the F."

The kid F-a-b-o has a new song produced by and featuring Swizz Beatz. And in the midst of all of this, where is Redman? Where is Joe Budden? You can find Redman's album cover, entitled Red Gone Wild, Thee Album, via Rizoh. Joe Budden has made a front-page feature on Eskay's Nahright. And really though. This is not right. Definitely not.

Def Jam has done a lot coming into the '07. But the way Def is choosing to prioritize certain artists is becoming quite monotonous, to say the least. And maybe some believe Redman is washed up, maybe some think Joe Budden, after enjoying a successful single (2003's "Pump it Up") before his debut release, can't come back from flopping the way he did. But like Method Man asked, where's the artist development? No one believes in their artists anymore.

Will Redman even get a video? Will Joe Budden ever get the green light for a new album? Unbelievably, it's been four whole years since Joe Budden hit the scene with his chart-topping hit. How is it that so many years have gone by, and still no Growth?

And by the way, Memphis Bleek has a mixtape in circulation. He's on his way with some new album material. Shout out to the kid DJ Bluesteel and the kid Splif at "Got Music?" I don't know about this Bleek shit though. This is going to be a long shot. How long has it been since Hov said he "could be one hit away his whole career"? And how long has it been since his modest success of his debut album?

Niggas alwasy hating on bleek......you wouldnt be as nice in Jay-z's shadow either. But ive enjoyed some of his music over the years, i think he has tried to be too commerical at times but that shit with trick daddy and TI was fire. The nigga making his money either way, its just a matter of fickle ass hip hop fans supporting albums. The understanding and made were better than alot of niggas efforts last year......

Man def jam is always on some bullshit they don't advertise great albulms like fishscale. Then turn around and get jay's stinker selling everywhere but old folks homes. The least they could do is get red a mtv diary or something.
P.S.- bleek is terrible I only bought his last albulm for dear summer jay seemed to know this and placed it track number 1 and 2 that's sad when you get treated like a lil nigga on your own project

Budden's situation is sad.He's so talented but he clearly needs to get off Def Jam....he's just not a priority for them and never will be.

at first i was doubtin fab's comeback but this song wit neyo produced by timbo sounds great, fab is the only rapper that can make a hit girl song wit out comin off as wak or soft i hope he makes a solid album i mean cuz he always has bangers but he needs a classic album cuz he dont got any but "Ghetto Fabolous" was good, i will get his new album

'It was a life-threatening experience, so I took it as that,' rapper says.

Fabolous has always prided himself on being street-tough, beginning with his first major hit, the 2001 gangsta track "Can't Deny It." But in October, the Brooklyn, New York, rapper got more than he bargained for when he was shot in the thigh by an unknown assailant. After the incident, Fabolous was charged with weapons possession after police discovered two guns in his car.

Now Fabolous is opening up about the incident. While he says it didn't take him even two weeks to get back on his feet after being shot, he hasn't shrugged the attack off. He says he took it very seriously.

"It was a life-threatening experience, so I took it as that," Fab said Tuesday of the shooting (see "Fabolous Hires Private Detective To Help Clear His Name After Arrest"). "Even when I got my truck back [after the shooting], Ilooked at [one of the shots] in the windshield — it was high enough to be a head shot. I looked at that as being more dangerous than the leg thing. My leg was better in a week and a half. I was back regular, like it never even happened. Even the hole didn't look nothing much [more serious] than a cigarette burn. The bullet didn't hit no bone. I'm a skinny dude ... I don't have a bunch of meat for it to really run through and be a flesh wound. For it to be a flesh wound, I was like, 'Wow.' "

The MC admitted that getting shot caused him to re-evaluate his inner circle as well as his priorities.

"I just fell back, took it easy," he said. "Maybe I was doing a little too much. Let some things take their course. I had never been shot before. I had to chill for a minute and got focused on the music and other things rather than being out and running around.

"It was a good thing that it happened towards the end of the year," he added of the shooting. "It happened in October, and I had two months to really think about what was going on. I didn't have my structure around me right. Once that thing happened, I had to get a structure within my life and make sure I get this sh-- moving right. I had a lot of things that wasn't moving right. Everything was moving on spur of the moment. Anybody who's in a leadership position or a boss position, you need to have some structure. You need to have certain people who ... make the whole clock keep running smoothly. I look back at the shooting like if sh-- would have been structured right, maybe none of it would have been happening."

Not only did Fab come under fire from the New York Police Department in the wake of the shooting, some fans and critics started questioning whether the whole situation was just a publicity stunt. Shortly after the incident, his new label, Def Jam, announced that he was dropping his album, From Nothing to Something, while the shooting and arrest were fresh on everyone's mind (see "Fabolous Album Moved Up To December After Arrest, Shooting"). The LP was delayed thereafter.

"I think Def Jam was doing that because they really wanted to get me out," he explained about the previous December 26 release date for the LP. "I don't know if they looked at [the shooting incident] as something to capitalize on, but they definitely wanted to get me out in December. We had talks about that months before, but I guess they wanted to use [the shooting] as a opportunity to get me out because my name had lit up. It put a little bright light to my name, so why not? But I had no knowledge of trying to capitalize on being shot as a reason to put my album out. And really, [the album] wasn't ready yet. When they [made the initial announcement], we wasn't ready. So they was just doing that on their own."

Fab's LP still isn't 100 percent done, but he's getting there. He's progressed far enough with production that a March 27 release date has been set and two songs have already hit the streets: "Return of the Hustle," which features Swizz Beatz and production by Just Blaze; and "Diamonds on My Damn Chain," a collaboration with Lil Wayne and producer Steve Morales, who's best known for his work with Celine Dion.

"I actually was staying down in Miami, we was staying at a crib [Morales] works at, it has a studio," Fab said. "Steve came through and said, 'I wanna play some joints for you.' One of the joints hit me instantly. It had a chopped-up loop from the song me and Jeezy did called 'Do the Damn Thang.' I said, 'Damn, I need somebody who can talk this bling talk and still make it a good record.' Weezy was perfect for it. We go way back."

The official first single, though, is "Make Me Better." The track — which features Ne-Yo on the hook and was produced by Timbaland — finds Fab in a very familiar mode, talking to the ladies. The strings will remind hip-hop fans of Raekwon's classic "Rainy Dayz"; as for the lyrics, Fab and Raekwon's classic "Rainy Dayz"; as for the lyrics, Fab and Ne-Yo tell ladies they are forces to be reckoned with on their own — but with their ladies upgrading them, they're that much better.

"You want a girl that completes you and makes you better," he explained. "You don't want a girl who brings more arguments and more bills. ... You want a girl who, when you're walking around with your tie crooked, she fixes your tie. .... That's the kind of [woman] I'm looking for. Whether she's a celebrity or non-celebrity don't really matter. You just need somebody you can connect with.

"It touches so many places," Fab added of the song. "It's a sexy record, plus a swagger record, an anthem record all in one. ... I played it for a couple of dudes a week ago, and they was like, 'I'mma tell my shorty that: "Yo, shorty, you make me better. I'm cool, I'm fly and sh--, but us together, we make a great pair." ' Dudes can take it — it's giving them some game. I felt it could work on all levels."

On the production front, while Timbaland helped man the boards on Fab's debut, Ghetto Fabolous, the rapper and super producer actually didn't get together in the studio this time.

"I never got to actually hook up with Tim," Fab said. "But I was in Miami working for two and a half months. So I would see him out, see him around. I seen him in [Miami hot spot] the Forge a couple of times, and a couple of his records would come on and I'd be like, 'This is what I need.' He'd be laughing and say, 'All right.' He definitely knows I respect his work. [When I went to record 'Make Me Better'] Ne-Yo came in and attacked them strings. He already had a vision. When I came in, all I had to do was put the spice on the sh-- and it was ready. It was smash already to me."

Cam'ron's my most hated rapper ever, but he has a point! 50 keeps talkin' shit about all of these artists not havin' any money, shoot, look at his whole camp!!!!! If it wasn't for 50 givin' them money to sign a contract, them niggaz would be broker than shit! Cam's right too, Jim Jones & Cam both made more money than Banks & Mobb Deep off of the profit of their record sells. If 50 was loyal like y'all say he is then he'll start doin' somethin' to help his artist sell records instead of worrying about his damn self all the time!

CURTIS O CURTIS HOW MUCH DID BANK SOLD. YO CURTIS HOW MUCH MOBB SOLD O CURTIS CURTIS,CAM OWNS 50 RITE THEIR

j.r writer merked the roc and tru dyke
r.i.p lil cease
dipset my dude

tha best thing4 both G-Unit & Dipset to do is Fuck Dis Beef & Get Dis Paper together....work on Projects together!!!!! Nobody in Hip Hop could fuck wit both Camps together...true story

i think cam was forgeting something when he was comparing money wit banks and jimmy jones.....banks sold 1.2 mill on his first album.....jones hasnt done that wit all his albums together.....and banks has other business shit that makes him mad money like bankshot productions....and gets a piece of everything g-unit sells like clothes and sneakers and all that shit.....not even cam is richer then banks let alone jimmy


Cam was straight up stupid.....i used to like his old shit but his new shit is straight up wack........no one on sipset is lyrical


ahhahahah and 50 rippin on jimmy....sayin he sold 300 000 on an independent label thats good for him hes never seen that konda money.....so that BBBBBAAAAAAALLLLLLLIIIIINNNNNNN!!!!!!!! ahahahahahhahahahah

selling 300 000 on an independent label gets u what??? quarter mill.....BALLLINNNNNN ahhahahahah my house is worth 3 times that amount so i guess immmm BAAAAALLLLLLIIIIINNNNNNNNN

Cam aint nobody too talk... The reason Banks didnt sell is because of Game dickriders who hate on G-Unit... Thats the music world... And i bet if there were a Stat for most bootleged album it would be Banks but thats just the way it is... Cam aint nobody but then again he did have a point... But 1 on 1 G-Unit VS Dipset i see a Ja-Ruling in the making... Jim Jones called in to keep everything cool that was a good move on his part...

one of the best hip hop lines in history It's just like what Cam said "Who far from a star but, his car is Gallardo" Cam don't care if he sells.

Cam is right though. How much did Banks and Mobb Deep and Lil' Scrappy sell??? They all flopped.

Dipset Vs. G Unit would be great man I'd love to see that
dipset all day !!!!

Cam'ron is so trash, 50 should of said how much did you sell these past years.
And you can't compare Jim Jones to Lloyd Bank$, Bank$ would chew Jimmy boy up. Jones made ballin' so weak, you don't hear people saying his rhymes off the whole song, but ballin' out of the whole song. Picture if Bank$ made Ballin', it would of been much better.

Oh yeah !!! This is how you can tell Bank$ got more money than Jones.
Look at the Ballin' video it look bootleg on a low budget green screen, and then look at the I'm So Fly green screen and his first video (On Fire) was in the Empire State building major difference.

The Unit Over Dip-Sh*t, I Mean Dip-set

G Unit Till The End !!!

LOL Cam got at 50 ha lol he told that nigga how much has Banks sold worldwide on a major label 50 said 300,000 Cam laughed and said Jim Jones sold that much independently. lol hahahahaha!

Cam aint nobody too talk... The reason Banks didnt sell is because of Game dickriders who hate on G-Unit... Thats the music world... And i bet if there were a Stat for most bootleged album it would be Banks but thats just the way it is... Cam aint nobody but then again he did have a point... But 1 on 1 G-Unit VS Dipset i see a Ja-Ruling in the making... Jim Jones called in to keep everything cool that was a good move on his part
dah reason jim jones say dat cuz he kno's 50 would shut dem down...game is a buster look 50 is right doctors advocate 830000,,,da re up 895000 and its a mixtape and dey did one song....as 50 said who run it!!!lol peace out,,,,GGGGGGGGGGGGG GUNIT

“Banks got more money then Jim Jones”

Koch and Cam and the rest of the Dips are celebrating 300,000+ for the BIGGEST SINGLE OF 06. 300,000 and you’ve got the biggest single of 06 isn’t a good look. Cam came off stupid and childish. Banks and Mobb Deep may have flopped but look at all of the albums that the Dipset have had flopped. JR Writer even sell 50,000?

I respect Styles and 50 both talking to each other to.

Reckless I gotta agree with u on this one, Jay is my dude but Def Jam is fuckin' up big time not pushin' they artist correctly.
It's like they don't give a fucc about my mans Red, Fab & Buddens. Them dudes is hella nicer than 1000% of the rappers out now.
Hip-Hop is dead bcuz lyricst are not appreciated anymore. All ni99as care about is making music 4 bytches. Don't get it twisted tho that music is more than welcome but come on u can't listen to that shyt 24 hrs. a day. You'd go crazy thinking about ass 24/7.
I need something thats gonna make me think of bigger, better things sometimes, some conscious shyt feel me.

As for my mans Bleek, like duke said above ni99as be hatin' on him. Bleek has swagger, he can spit and he has guap(money in the bank). The only logical reason I see people not embracing him is bcuz either 1 they feel he's dependent on Jay toooo much or 2 they're stans and wish they was in his shoes. Wateva ur opinion Bleek is my dude and I'ma always bump his shyt from the old to the new. Real TAlk!

"I got my Mind Right Money Right Ready 4 War Memph Bleek is Murda!!!"

Shouts II The Usuals!

Bk All-Day, Bed-Stuy Do Or Die!
WE IN THE BUILDING!

THAT WAS HELLA FUNNY CURRRRRRTISSSSS HOW MUCH MOBB SELL?, CAM GOT A GOOD POINT…BUT 50 PROB STILL GONNA DO LIKE 4-5 MILLION ON NEXT ALBUM & MUTHAFUCKAZ GONNA HATE….50 JUS A SMART BUSINESS MAN, PRODIGY WANTED TO BE ON KOCH TO DO RETURN OF THE MAC MIXTAPE…ALAN GRUNBLATT MADE HIS MONEY OFF HIPHOP MUSIC DA BIG JEW MUTHAFUCKA & THEN HE WANNA CUT MUTHAFUCKAZ SHORT, CAM STEP YO GAME UP GET YO OWN DISTRIBUTION LETS SEE U RUN SHIT….

LMAO at all the Dipset haters! Cam’ron was trippin because fifty had just dissed his record label! He said he could shut down Koch when Prodigy..his own man..just joined up over there. Not to mention the fact that Lloyd Banks sales are only just as high as Jim Jones sales AND Banks is on a MAJOR label. Thats up to 70% more profit than Lloyd Banks on Jimmys behalf.
50 Cent does NOT want war with Dipset. Not only are Dipset runnin New York right now, but if you listened to this full interview, who did 50 say was his favourite artist out right now? JR WRITER. who may i add flopped on sales, but let me tell you this kid is better than PAP. Hands down. 50 Cent is a clever businessman your right! Thats the reason why he was practically on Dipset’s dick before Cam called.

Hate Dipset all you want but they ARE the hottest out in New York, whether you like it or not. And Cams sales were bad but wait for the new 1. Guarantee it will do big numbers for an indy drop.

50 sound like a straight Square lame so lame, yeah cam got out of character a bit, but who wouldnt when somebody not speaking the truth, 50 sound like he be in the building behind a desk, not in a studio, not in the streets, but in the building kissing ass!!!!FUCK EM

Dipset/dipset affiliates and their fans stay losing.

I like that Loso joint feat Swizz produced by Just Blaze...I don't know what Swizz Beatz production u talking about though.

Dude, 50 could shut down Dipset. Dipset aint doing shit anymore and everybody knows it. Dipset aint shit. Dude, JR Writer sold 50k, Duke Da God sold nothing, Cam only went platinum once, on The Roc, Killah Season shit sold nothing, and nobody can say Jimmy has more money than Banks. Dude, people dont even no that with Koch, yeah you make 7 bucks a record, but with Jimmy they put out over 2 mill promoting him that he has to pay back, like Tru Life said, Jimmy still owes money, he is still in the red. Everyone knows Dipset aint shit, they never were. So Cam wants to bring up sales, like since 02 who has sold more? G Unit, or Dipset? Well lets see, Banks did 4 mill, Buck 2, G Unit album 4 mill, GRODT soundtrack 3 mill, Game 5 mill, Yayo 800k, Mobb 500k, Banks 300k in US? Or Worldwide? I dont no, and that aint even counting 50 who on 2 albums sold over 20 mill. So get the fuck outa here with that shit. Jimmy had the biggest rap record in the world when his shit dropped, he did 100k first week, his last album did almost 80k, and his last album he didnt have any big single. So you telling me that he could only do 20k more his first week and he had the biggest rap record in the world. Dude, Dipset dont want it, and they no it, first Jay spanked Cam and Jimmy already, and Tru Life is killing them right now, it aint even funny, as he calls them, Pam, Jenny Jones, JR who calls himself AR, so Tru calls him Always Runnin, Duke Da Broad, Smell Rell, and so on. But the funny thing is why Cam bringing up sales, he only says Jimmy, and only brings up Banks and Mobb, what happens when Cam dont sell, Buck sells alot, goes platinum,and 50 smashes everyone when he drops? then what, Dipset hasnt been shit for a long time, how the fuck is the hype man Jimmy gonna sell more than the leader? Thats like Yayo outselling 50. Tell me that aint some fucked up shit, Jimmy is a hype man, he dissing Yayo, he dont want it. Everyone saw the footage of Cam running like a bitch from JM. They some bitches.

i dont understand why the fuck dispet always tries to talk money to everyone. they dont have more money then the ROC or g-unit. after the rocafella fallout, every cd released by dipset has went plastic. seriously just go kill yourselves.

giles wasn't Cam just dissing Koch too????? blah blah blah...Dipset stay taking L's. That's what they live for.

NIGGAS BETTER PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO WHAT THEY DO AND SAY CAUSE FIFTY IS A MOTHERFUCKING G AND HE WILL SHUT IT ALL DOWN!!!!

Dipset is embarrassing....point blank.

Anybody else feeling that new Havoc "Leave it alone"? Prodigy and Hav stepping their shit up after taking that L. Dipset could learn from them.

i laffed wen 50 offerd styles a deal..
that was just to much lol
but styles was talking the truth about the supreme ish..
n i dn blame styles for bringin the whole…”old 50″ saying he liked em when 50 was hungry..not when he was full.. cus we saw him when he was hungry..he got shot at 9 times to survive and now hes full and what ppl are mad bcus he made it out of hell and he’s at the space where his son would not have to face the challenges that curtis has been threw

styles doesnt make the money that 50 makes ..so i can see how it’s difficult for them to trully get on the same page. They both take there ways differently from each other. 50 belives he can pay u to respect him..and styles belives respect is more valued than money..which is understanding.

dipset is hot group..but

how are you sayin on dipsets dick b4 cam called?
Obviously he isnt going start problems arguing speakin to cam.

Dipset’s bin ruckend n.y but its just a matter of time till they lose the reespect..i mean after all they already started getting jay…then nas…almost at 50, but luckly jimmy stopped it.

Like going to jay-z has been the mose pointless move ever..what dipset has acomplished doesnt compare to the process and the work of shawn carter yo.

Dipsets new they have all the air to breath..why stop breathin when you have all the air you can have all around you..wehn i say that, im sayin…dip got a group that has new york runnin numbers but why go at the ppl who shoveld the path for you to follow..”?

Cam’ron is killin his carreer…like if you look at it..his career is on the line.. Jay can easily ja rule em.
Its not the respect that makes jay-z what he is…it’s commonsense.
So lloyd’s numbers arnt reachin past jimmy…
just wait till 50 comes out. Like u’d say no1ne wud buy it. But even with masscre he manage to get 3 of his singles in 1,2,3 of top singles when his last cd came out.

what places has cam bin on?/?

Let me tell y’all something you may not know:

1)50 Cent has more money than everyone on Koch COMBINED.
2)50 Cent can end Dipset’s career with ONE SONG.
3)50 Cent is affiliated with EMINEM+DR.DRE.White America will NOT support Dipset.
4)Every artist on G-unit except MOP,Hot Rod,and Spider Loc,are millionaires.Yes,even Mobb Deep have over a mill.
5)Lloyd Banks will murder Cam’ron and Juelz Santana on a track.
6)Did you hear 50 Cent say “you wanna cause a situation?”.You know what he was referring to?Figure it out.

I feel sorry for Cam’ron,he has no idea what 50 Cent will do.

Dipset are now trying to beef with Gunit along with Rocafella?
Gunit’s heavy hitters:Lloyd Banks,Young Hot Rod,Willie Northpole
Rocafella heavy hitters:Jay-Z,Memph Bleek,Tru Life
Dipset heavy hitters:Duke Da God,JR Writer,Juelz.
Now tell me:How on Earth will Dipset win this?

Game Actin Like U DOnt Know!!!! HAHAH.. Em’s Mixtape sold more copies then Game’s Album SHit.. Em’s Only Got oNe single On His ALbum Out Right Now & Video. When Game Has Like 3 Singles And Videos.. If U Aint Down Wit G-Unit Ya Ass Gon Flop!!!!

50 Cent-MAKE DISSES TO CAM’RON PLEASE, I WANT THIS NIGGA TO FLOP ON EVERY THING HE PUTS OUT!!

FUCK CAM’RON

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG-UNIT!!!!!!!

People need to realize 50 cent is just on another level, these rapper can rap but 50 cent has hip hop in a choke hold. Hate him or love him but within a span of four years he set history selling about 20 million records with just two cds, he is on some superior shit. He set his boss status before anyone called up by saying when he talking everybody is listening, he stepped over all of them with that one sentence. Cam needs to step his conversation game up, just look at the interview he did with bill oriley and that elementary school principal he was acting the same like a child.

Man real talk…CAM..wow…u failed homeboy…damn…what you did was…GODDAMN so not gangsta…so not who you claim you are…but watever with u thou!! GoodLuck…2nd I like the fact 50 and Styles was able to talk and keep it grown man althou at one point I feel like Styles was gettin heated…but they was cool and if they can talk it out in the office or in the hood..wherever…do business…Great for NY. 3rd…No at 50 for laughin at ‘Preme…but Im sure he got his own reasons…but No 50, you dont do that man….4th CAM…wow…might as well take ur 7 mill and go hibernate man…Im still shocked…5th Styles P always been a favorite of mine and I respect him to the fullest and ppl gotta realize Styles and 50 is on two diff games…forget levels…Styles will settle for a steady bank account..his wife and kids…his 2 cars and a nice lil crib…50 will milk the shit outta anythin till there is no more and then he will find somethin else to squeeze on cause that’s how he is…sky is the limit…Styles is comfortable reachin the clouds..Hate em or Love em….Gotta respect them….but CAM…WOW

now i fuck wit dipset since roc a fella era

but they fuckin up tho. they immature they way too cocky. and look how cam was talkin n screamin out shit like a little ass kid. and they keep goin at the roc? why?? only person on dipset dat have to right to go at hov is cam bcus they been in da game since da same time, they both was on big l 1st album in ‘95. but he cant see jay wit lyrics and then cam n his niggas keep tryna talk money wit everything wen they still owe money. lyrically wit jr writer, hell rell, 40 n juelz, they can go sum rounds. but they would neva win a battle wit the roc vs. bleek, kanye, freeway and young gunz. all of em went plat b4 and can spit hard all day. young chris got new shit out now yall need to go check dat out

but dipset jus need to chill bcuz i would neva thought jim jones would have a hit record hes the weakest one. they should of jus saved there money n stop braggin n bein cocky. they wanna go at g unit. i dont fuck wit 50 foreal but they tha same as da roc. got niggas dat could spit and they sold millions. give em 2 years we wont hear from them no more.

G-unit and Dipset's leaders...Jim and 50 don't got beef with each other so I doubt that a full on beef will happen but if it does Dipset will get destroyed. Cam is a bum...he aint even the frontman of that pussy ass group nomore. He's now a dipset soldier while Jim and Juelz are leading the movement that aint even been moving.....pathedic. How u let them 2 dudes outsell/outswag/out rhyme you? Its embarrassing.

STOP BLAMING IT ON HOV'S PRIORITIZATION. THE ARTIST MUST CREATE HIS OWN BUZ VIA MIX CDS, PROMO TOURS GUEST APPEARANCES ON RADIO AND BET RAP CITY. BECAUSE OF BOOTLEGGING RECORD CO CAN'T AFFORD TO GIVE BIG BUDGETS TO NE RAPPERS BECAUSE THEY WONT MAKE MONEY BACK. LOOK HOW PUFF'S RECORD SOLD AND ALL THE PROMO HE HAD. WITH OLDER RAPPERS, IT'S A NEW GENERATION AND WHAT RED'S SAYING IS NOT RELEVANT TO THE BUCKS. RED NEEDS TO PUT OUT ABOUT 8 MIX CDS LIKE 50 DID IN ORDER TO REINVENT HIS SELF, OLD RAPPERS FOLLOW SUITE ITS NOT HOVS FAULT.

yo on some real rap dipset or i meen dickset r wack as shit there r really only two ok niggas on dickset juelz and JR. Cam wack, and im surprised jim sold as much as he did, thats a shame that the hype man surpasses the leader.Look i am a g unit supporter everyone on there nice, seriously cam need to shut his mouth hes had one good single that was about 10 years ago and that was Horse and Carriage yeah try to remember that. Anyway point blank camron the wackest ive ever heard second to ja rule come on i meen really “winky,dinky,minky,stinky” and thats a cam quote, what the fuck is that how do u start a song like that, for all yall cam fans yall know how he raps, say im lyin, on the real. GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG Unit bitch

you guys are pissing me off.50 is not that great.its dr dre beats emems fans and the guy that shot him that made him popular. he is not a good person look at what he is saying about nas. he was nas hayp boy know nas is a window shoper. he is very dissrapectfill he goes after ppl for no reason gust becose he can. i was a fan of his at first. know i thank has a ho ass snatch so do a lot of ppl. like style p sad respect over mony.i will say this he is a smart bussins man. he sold his sole for riches. oh camron needs to get a life dip set sucks ass

Ahhh, the NY Unity! LMAO!

But back on topic. The Def Jam thing is interesting at the least. Ya'll acting like this lack of promotion was an overnight thing. I highly doubt that it was. Remember that this is a business. Artists sign these contracts for albums and all that gets put into a budget. If marketing is the short end of that deal then the artist just got screwed. And I'm pretty sure that if your previous album sales weren't up to what the label thought they should be then they would cut back on your advertising budget for your next project.

Think about it...

YO YOU DIPSET FANS ARE FORGETING SOMTHING EVERY ONE TALKING ABOUT HOW DIPSET DRESS. NIGGA G-UNIT HAS THEY OWN BRAND OF CLOTHES THAT SELLS EVERYWHERE AND HAS BEEN FOR YEARS INFACT ANYONE CAN CHECK THE STATS G-UNIT CLOTHES SOLD MORE THAN SEAN JEAN AND ROCAWEAR IN 2006 IM SURE BANKS HAS MORE MONEY THAN THAN ANYONE IN DIPSET JUST OFF OF G-UNIT CLOTHES. I LIKE DIPSET TO AND HOPE THEY DONT BEEF BUT G-UNIT IS STILL THE NUMBER ONE RAP CREW IN HIP HOP THIS DECADE SO FAR EVERY ONE OF THEIR ARTIST GO GOLD OR P[LAT IF BANKS DROPS ANOTHER SINGLE OF HIS ALBUM HE WOULD EASY SELL 500,000 TO 600,000 ESPICALLY IF HE PUTS OUT TRACK NUMBER TWO

50 is not a g and nobody is feeling 50 the same way anymore. his 1st album was hot but the last album was garbage, u kids r so in love with this man that if he did a solo album r a country album that u would buy it. some of the best albums that came out last year got sleept on because of dick riders stop loving the man behind the music and start loving the music then this beef shit would not be going on.

Def Jam promotes people that can actually sell. Nobody is really checking for Red, meth, and joe buddens. People however are checking for Nas, Jeezy, Ludacris, and Rick Ross.

What joe buttons and reman rappin about isn't relevant any more joe buttons ad redman are old washed up rappers that need to retire
the only relavant new york artist
Are g unit and dipset
And maybe fabolous jae mills papoose
The youngin only interested in houston and atl artist
New york is DEAD

Half of ya'll niggas complaining about Joe Budden and Redman's albums not coming out would bootleg or download them if they did. So what's the point of putting them out in the first place? Stop bootlegging and support your artists then maybe the label wouldn't fear losing money out of the deal.

Only thing popping in Houston is Mike Jones and Paul Wall. If I had these corny ass rappers reppin my hood, I would cut my balls off and then kill my self.

Dipset are trendsetters
Ed hardy became a overnight brand name
U can't walk down the street without someone wearing a biker chain
Camron made pink look gangsta
Wearing baggy pants are played out that's back in the 90's
Real men don't sag or wear baggyjeans
Dipset is the nwa of the 2000's
They brung the gangbangin life style to the main stream
Now yall are scared I guess the general public is so used to studio gangstas

I thought this blog was about Fabolous, Redman, and Joe Budden. Take that cat fight between The Dipshits & G-Unot to the other two blogs for that subject

WTF!??

Even when the post isn't even about G-Unit or Dipset it still gets talked about in the blog!

Bleek, he's alright, but being the protege of Jay-Z will always make it hard for him to stay out Jays shadow.

Redmans album will probably drop, i hope atleast, since they dropped 2 Ghostface albums last year you never know. But when he does finally drop, don't expect him to get promoted much, they might even do him like Meth and not even give a video or anything.

And for Budden, as much as i like his music i'm starting to doubt that his sophmore effort will ever drop. Mood Music 3 will come out before it thats for sure.
