"I made my bed and have no problem lying in it."
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
"NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - September 12, 2007) - KOCH Records and Black Hand Entertainment announce the release of Foxy Brown's new album, Brooklyn's Don Diva, on November 20th, 2007."
"This is just a temporary situation." says Foxy. "I made my bed and have no problem lying in it. My will is steady. What doesn't kill me will only make me stronger. I think there are greater injustices in America that require our immediate attention, like what's going on in Jena, Louisiana. I will not surrender, I'm fine, free Jena Six!"
Foxy's manager, Chaz Williams states, 'I visited Foxy at Rikers the day after sentencing, and her spirits were high. I expected nothing less. I was in court at sentencing and she didn't blink an eye. She's a strong girl. So, I'm sorry Miss Jackson, we're not impressed, and definitely not stopping musically. Brooklyn's Don Diva will be released as scheduled, and will be heavily promoted by her label, her distributors, and the Black Hand team. And to the pregnancy rumors, this is the official statement: She is not pregnant, check the video out!"
Yeah yeah yeah.
Barely a couple of weeks ago, according to the Associated Press, Brown appeared in court today (September 7) in shackles and begged Jackson for a chance to be freed, promising to straighten out her life."I'm willing to do whatever I need to do to change," Brown said. "I realize that's not where I want to be. It's humbled me in ways I never imagined."
Didn't look like that worked, now did it.

After reports hit the net that Kanye was on track to sell approximately 200,000 more copies than 50, give or take, 50 went on Hot 97 and blamed the label.
Man up and admit you lost, you corn.
Via HHNlive:
"To be honest the process of selling this record hasn't been fun," 50 told Hot. "I'm happy with the performance, but I'm not happy with the set up. We had conference calls and after we created this plan, nobody actually had a plan.""It was the label," Curtis continued. "Their dropping the ball all over the place. I'll release my next album and then I'm a free agent."
But a month ago Curt told SOHH that if he lost to Kanye, he wouldn't be putting out any more albums. He knew damn well he owed the label one more album. See what happens when you get too ahead of yourself?
50's bitch ass cannot accept defeat. If you wasn't so fucking arrogant and wack you would've probabley sold more records than kayne in the first weak. I hope you retire, now you taking the LL route and blame the label. Negro please
^^^^ While everyone is so quick to bury 50, can we wait til the REAL #'S come out next week???
Next time, next album Cam is gon outsell you, from the graveyard Koch records, as Wu tang say...watch your muf****kn mouth!!!! The album was wack anyway a lot of recycled shit, maybe Kanye could've spared you a BEAT!!!!
Anyway I still love 50, it's not a complete rap puzzle without him " I Get Money"," Amusement Park", and some better than these hot south singles and come album time no where to be found I'd rather listen to his music.
Viva Real Hip Hop!!!
Finding Forever & Eardrum.

WE ALL SHOULD BE HAPPY HIP HOP WON, AND IS PROBABLY GONNA BE 1 AND 2 ON THE CHARTS.
Life is not based on how many records you can sell. There is more to life, more important things you need to be worried about, like how many fine ass white bitches you can impregnate while your here on earth.
My Brothers, if your feed up with having bad credit, racism, and you want a change from having sex with your Nubian Queen, I have the solution for you. It's called the Black Cracker Movement.
The Black Crackers stand for the deterioration of white supremacy by impregnating as many fine ass white women as possible. We also have a policy of ruining the credit of our white counterparts and selling dope to only white children. Get them while they are young. We also go to golf courses in the suburbs, country clubs, hockey games, and anything where a lot of white women will be, to intimidate the white masses and let them know the Black Crackers are in the establishment.

If you thought the battle between 50 Cent and Kanye West was over, you'd be wrong. While just about every expert is projecting that Kanye West will sell more albums, 50 Cent isn't taking his apparent loss sitting down.
*
MediaTakeOut.com exclusively learned that the Queens rapper has ordered executives at his record label Interscope to go out to record stores and purchase 300K copies of his album Curtis.
*
According to an Interscope insider, 50 Cent laid down the gauntlet to the record company on a conference call yesterday. The tipster told MediaTakeOut.com, "[50 Cent] basically told us that we were being too cheap with his project ... He laid out an ultimatum, either we go out and, using our own money, buy up 300K copies of Curtis. Or he'll leave [the label]."
*
And 50 Cent's strong-handed tactic may just work. The tipster explained to MediaTakeOut.com, "For [Interscope] to do what [50 Cent] is asking, we'd have to significantly increase our post-production budget ... But 50 Cent is our most important artist, so we're looking for ways to make accommodations."
*
Right now music industry experts are speculating that Kanye will sell approximately 750K copies of his album Graduation this week. Without Interscope's 300K album purchase, 50 Cent's Curtis is projected to sell only 600K.
Developing...
Bottom line, Kanye is benefitting not only from his fans buying his CD but also 50s enemies buying his CD. Great marketing plan on Kanye's part. If released on different dayz, no way Kanye outsell 50. This is his best turnout ever and it has more to do with 50s enemies wanting to see 50 lose than Kanye's fans (PERIOD!!)
50 CENT GOTTA KEEP HIS HEAD UP. EVERY GREAT ARTIST HAS HAD TRYING TIMES FROM ENINEM, JAY, NAS, DRE ETC,
SOMETIMES WHEN YOUR BACK IS AGAINST THE WALL THATS WHEN YOU CAN DO YOUR BEST WORK EVER.
I HONESTLY BELIEVE THIS WILL BE A BLESSING IN DISGUISE FOR 50, AFTER THIS HE WILL BE OUT TO PROVE A POINT ON HIS NEXT OUTING AND FINALLY MAYBE HE CAN GET THE RESPECT HE DESERVES.
50 DONT LOSE HEART MAN, PEOPLE HATE A RICH MAN, WHEN YOU MADE 400MILL PEOPLE DONT WANT YOU TO BE THE HOTTEST OUT THERE TOO.
PERSONALLY I COULD GIVE A fU*k IF 50 WAS THE 10TH BEST ARTIST, HE MAKES GREAT MUSIC PERIOD.
JUST BECAUSE YOU CAME IN NUMBER 2 DOESNT MEAN YOUR CAREER IS OVER. IT MEANS YOU HAVE SO MANY HATERS THAT HATE YOU SOO MUCH THEY ARE WILLING TO SPEND 10BUCKS ON A KANYE CD. YOU GOT TO THEM SON.
WHEN THE DUST SETTLES ON THE KANYE/50 PEOPLE WILL REALISE THEYD RATHER BE IN A WORLD WITH YOU THAN WITHOIUT YOU.
AND 50 CENT SOLD 310,000 RECORDS IN ONE DAY. OF-COURSE KANYE SOLD MORE BUT YOU HATERS SHOULD ASK YOURSELF WOULD YOUR FAVOURITE ARTIST ALSO DO THOSE NUMBERS?
50 I RESPECT YOU, YOU DO WHAT EVERY BLACK MAN DOES, GET THAT MONEY AND SQUEEZ IT OUT WHILST YOU CAN.
IT LOOKS LIKE WHAT YOU SAID ON HOW WE DO HAS COME TRUE
'They call me new money, say I have no class
I'm from the bottom, I came up too fast
The hell if I care, I'm just here to get my cash'
HOW CAN PEOPLE SAY 50'S CAREER IS OVER OR THAT HE FLOPPED WHEN HE'S SELLING 310000 RECORDS IN A DAY?
JA RULE WONT EVEN DO THAT IN TWO WEEKS.
50 IS GOING NOWHERE
@ DTrouble313
I listened to Graduation once and I knew I was blown away.
Kanye coming with that real life shit. Not that ready made cookie cutter shit that 50 dropped. When you really put your heart and your soul into something that you love, you really can't lose.
50 made the mistake of looking at music from a corporate standpoint and that's why the album sound stale.
Remember my fellow Black Crackers, the next time your about to sign your name on the dotted-line of that student loan, car loan, home loan, or even a loan shark make sure you have a fine ass white woman with good credit as a co-signer. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
Better yet, your fine ass white bitch should be signing her name as the primary borrower, NOT YOU. If you can't achieve this at least have your white bitch co-sign. HERE IS AN EASY WHAT TO REMEMBER TODAY'S LESSON:
If she won't sign on the dotted line, make that white bitch co-sign.
Tomorrow's lesson will be on how to figure out when your white bitch is ovulating, so you can easily impregnate her.
I will also discuss various tactics on how to easily impregnate your white bitch.

As much as yall niggas hate on 50,u still can't deny him.How many artists have made the same impact on the game for their FIRST 3 albums ?? Only other person to smash the game like that on a consistent basis was Eminem.U may not like 50 as a person,or like the music he's been puttin out,but yall callin niggas names ?? That's some childish shit.So what if the nigg'as cocky as hell,so is kanye.Respect that man's hustle

I'm sorry there buddy but your wrong. It's like my daddy used to say, "If your not first, your last"!!!!
SHAKE-N-BAKE
Yall 50 supports are sore losers. Last week yall were talking about how Kanye couldn't win, there was now way...gggg and all that bullshit. and now niggaz wanna make excuses."500,000 isn't a flop" "if they dropped different days" , "if the climate was different", Kanye is a whinner...blah blah blah. Well the fact of the matter is for 50 (the self proclaimed sound scan killer) it is a flop. he chose to come out on that day and make it a battle, which for the first time WASN'T a good look for him. they didn't drop different days and to be honest it wouldn't have mattered. people aren buying it anymore. his theatrics are played out. to LB, Jay sold 600,000 plus out the gate and game sold 500,000 out the gate in THIS CLIMATE!! so it can be done. at leat the way kanye did it. so don't blame the label,current climate, or day the record's release date. finally someone out sold you while using your same tactics againt you.....lol
I'm surprised nobody is talking about 50 Cent on Rap City, when he brought out Jim Jones. I know Cam'run was flipping out when he seen that shit.
WOW!!! He's a typical NY nigga, always complaining and making excuses. What the FUCK you NY niggas got 2 say now when 50 don't sell shit!!!! gggggg-unot!!!
50 100x better than kanye! his is album is fire!!! if kanye ends up beating 50 its only bcoz of all those stupid leaks like follow my lead his project was so obviously mishandled. however if kanye does beat 50 in first week sales those figures will only be world wide. 50 will def beat him world wide. and album sales in total kanye doesnt stand a chance!!! fire tracks my gun go off, man down, come and go, ill still kill (even though i dont like akon), peep show, curtis 187, i get money, fully loaded clip, str8 2 tha bank
wait, wait, why is everyone all surprised
50 SAID THIS WOULD HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He said that Kanye was going to outsell him in the first week cause Jay would be scared of getting beat, so he would buy a bunch of albums for him.
He said:: WATCH FOR THE SECOND WEEK.
That's damn-near a direct quote. It was never about the first week, it was about overall. 50 said watch for the second week, because that's when Kanye's sells will drop.
And I whole-heartedly believe him. Kanye is great. But nothing in his album so far has blown me away. I think he's benefiting from 50's backlash moreso than anything else.
Once this weekend comes around, and 50's new CD's starts blaring out of cars at red lights, and once clubs start tearing into shit like "I'll Still Kill," "All of Me" and "Fire" it'll be a wrap.
I'm sorry, but CDs are sold from the clubs and red lights, always have been.
"Watch for the second week." -- 50 Cent.

im more than sure that 50 WILL sell shit. but to you all NY dick riders 50's worst is your favorites down south rappers best or numbers they want so get off it.
eat some breakfast b4 you put all that NY cock in ya mouf!

you prolly believe lincoln freed the slaves "whole-heartedly" too.
And WTF@twisting 50s words around...
He said the SAME EXACT thing in his article with Rolling Stone where he said the label was screwing with him this time around. They asked him about why he blew up at Interscope offices, smashing televisions and throwing his phone out the window.
He didn't JUST say this, he's been saying it for months.
Now I don't blame sohh, cause other sites are running this interview like 50 all of a sudden was turning on Interscope. But sohh should at least have the balls to call a story bullshit when they see it.
50 has a mixtape song out RIGHT NOW where he's like, "FUCK JIMMY (IOVINE)!!!"
His strained relationship with the label is nothing new.
Fuck God, Fuck 50 Cent, Fuck Kayne West, Fuck B5, Fuck whoever had an ablum coming out this week, and FUCK YOU if you didn't go out an pick up my new CD tittled, "Andrew" on SEALS records. And always
CHRIST BLESS!

Whaddup, i couldnt care for either nigga, but it seem like 50 gon lose, 500k isn't a flop for MOST, and 700k? thats ridiculous in this climate, especially when ye has got nowhere near that, i doubt he will sell that much. but fact is the kid said he WILL outsell ye, and ya'''ll groupies was shoutin it from the rooftops. 500k is a flop wen u meant to be the main nigga bar NONE! second place is the 1st loser, thats my word.
Brooklyn B says...

September 13, 2007 9:15 AM
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
And you probably think Kanye is better because of some false sense of "vulnerability."
Oh, I'm insecure, oh, I'm a hipocrit, I buy jewels but talk about rich people, oh I'm so vulnerable.
It's a gimmick.
Just like 50, except 50 KNOWS he's a gimmick. Kanye pulls wool over the eyes of the naive and has them thinking he's some sort of philosopher.
The dude has balls, but he's an average lyricst (honestly, he's not that much better than 50) with a good ear for samples. THAT'S IT.
He's made most of his accomplishments due to who he knows and who he's an alternative for. Lupe is so much better than Kanye, but he'll never have the shine cause he doesn't have the connections (Jay), the gimmick (psuedo self-degredation), and the opposing artist everyone wants an alternative for (50 Cent).
Don't get caught up in the bandwagon hype, please.
Kanye's album is as mediocre as 50, don't think this 50 backlash has nothing to do with his first week sales.
see people are still trying to throw dirt on the saints name. I don't care if you stan me, I do care about you saying f#% GOD. That's not cool and I pray that you get the hate out of your heart, before judgment day.
I really don't care about 50 Cent & Kayne West. I know this is off topic but I wanted to bring up Remy Ma. Did you hear that Remy is now facing charges of gang assault, tampering with a witness, intimidating a victim and third-degree assault. I know it hurts your ears when I say that all her current problems are a result of the cover on her mixtape, but it is.
Every rapper that depicted themselves as Jesus Christ has in some form suffered for their blasphemy.
Nas - he was punished by his baby mother sleeping with Jay Z and Allen Iverson. And his album didn't do that well
Kayne West - was punished by not winning an MTV award earlier this week
2pac - was punished when he got shot up in Las Vegas
So Stanley you continue to disrespect God's name and you will pay. Yall be blessed.
JESUS LIVES!

I almost forgot Fuck God, my CD "Andrew" in stores now. You can pick up the edited verison at your local Walmart.
first off yall hating on 50 when the guy makes hit after freakin hit.. So whatz the f n problem.. Secondly yall gotta remember kanye has a broader audience(no racial ish) but its true how many white people are gonna cop a lp like 50 or would they rather have someone like kanyes lp to buy....Yall stupid if yall havent realize that.. 50 is hood and if u dont understand that part then u wont buy his lp... but the lp is hot 2 death aint nobody else hold n hip-hop down besides TI and a few others....
To the dude that said what's up wit songs with Daft Punk and that 50 is so gangsta:
First of all, a song sampling Daft Punk is called CREATIVITY. Ever heard of it??? It's something that is seriously lacking in todays music.
And as far as you saying you like 50 cause he's the most gangsta dude out.... Why do you care? You're not a gangsta... i'm sure you relate to Kanye's songs more than 50 anyway, so stop frontin and actin hard like Milk said....
First off let me say I love GOD, and nobody is going to buy your dumb cd "andrew" so get lost!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ LB... u say the only hip hop artist that can sell 500,000 first week now is 50, ti, kanye... and jay can't??? Ok buddy just 10 months ago jay sold 850,000 first week
By the way kanye cd is way better than curtis, so sales are finally reflecting quality
@Down South Lyricist says...
i brought kanyes saturday and he got a hot album, short but hot. 50 dropped how many singles and he aint get no good response til i get money came out, kanyes on his 3rd single and all of them got positive reviews.
and ye is a "average lyricst (honestly, he's not that much better than 50)" you HAVE to be deaf of think 50 is YE and vice versa. we can put lyrics to lyrics to prove that YE is WAYYYYYY more lyrical then 50.
i dont even think 50 stans could co-sign that, thats beyond reaching.
-
im not gonna hate on 50 (i'll diss him and make jokes) but i brought YE's cause i knew it would be 1)different, 2)creative and 3) for the lyrics. Ye's last 2 albums was hot bot production and lyrics and kanye isnt afraid to try new shit and evolve. 50 albums is just like one dude commented on, there corporate albums so they sound the same.
amusement park=candy shop=majic stick
i get money=go shorty its ya b-day
..........damn i dont even remember all his singles and that aye yo teck bull shit is beyond wack i dont even hear that on the radio no more
@ My Fellow Black Crackers
As you know the media has was been constantly questioning the Black Cracker Movement on who are we going to endorse on 9/11 - 50 Cent or Kayne West. Since we are for impregnating the White woman, we have held a neutral position on the 50 Cent and Kayne West issue.
After much thought and input from my fellow Black Cracker we have decided to endorse brother Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson. The reason why we have decided to go with brother Curtis is because of a recent development in the white media. In a matter of a few days, brother Curtis was successful in obtaining the ULTIMATE GOAL of all Black Crackers, thus making him a God in the eyes of all Black Crackers around the world. And that Ultimate Goal I speak of is no other than Paris Hilton!!!
Our hats go off to you brother Curtis and may God continue to bless you and everything you touch. We have no more comments on this matter.
Thank you for you time!

Men this is not fair the only reason 50 is gonna loose is becasue of this Gunot losers that dont even like kanye but will bye his album to see 50 loose.

I didn't buy 4 copies of Kayne West. I was just using those cd's to hide that "Andrew" Cd. I didn't want anyone to see me buying PZ's CD, I didn't feel like getting laughed at.
Word up LB, niggaz are gone hate on 50 regardless, he said it himself, the more he wins the more they hate, wut other artist can setup themselves to sale $500,000 copies in 1st week, hell - 50 and kangay playin erybody, kangay gone sale more albums than he ever did, and 50 will do his usual 8 - 10 mil when its all over. WAY TO GO NIGGAZ!

GENEVA - The most common type of gorilla is now "critically endangered," one step away from global extinction, according to the 2007 Red List of Threatened Species released Wednesday by the World Conservation Union.
ADVERTISEMENT
The Ebola virus is depleting Western Gorilla populations to a point where it might become impossible for them to recover.
Commercial hunting, civil unrest and habitat loss due to logging and forest clearance for palm oil plantations are compounding the problem, said the Swiss-based group known by its acronym IUCN.
"Great apes are our closest living relatives and very special creatures," Russ Mittermeier, head of IUCN's Primate Specialist Group, told The Associated Press. "We could fit all the remaining great apes in the world into two or three large football stadiums. There just aren't very many left."
In all, 16,306 species are threatened with extinction, 188 more than last year, IUCN said. One in four mammals are in jeopardy, as are one in eight birds, a third of all amphibians and 70 percent of the plants that have been studied.
"Life on Earth is disappearing fast and will continue to do so unless urgent action is taken," the IUCN warned.
The Western Gorilla's main subspecies — the Western Lowland Gorilla — has been decimated by the Ebola virus, which has wiped out about a third of the gorillas found in protected areas over the last 15 years.
"In the last 10 years, Ebola is the single largest killer of apes. Poaching is a close second," said Peter Walsh, a member if IUCN's Primate Specialist Group, told the AP. "Ebola is knocking down populations to a level where they won't bounce back. The rate of decline is dizzying. If it continues, we'll lose them in 10-12 years."
Female gorillas only start reproducing at the age of 9 or 10 and only have one baby about every five years. Walsh said even in ideal conditions, it would take the gorillas decades to bounce back.
Yo Im from Kenya,AFRICA n still feel the effects of 50's loss.Ha ha ha...but its a phenomenal step 4 hip hop 2 be talkd bout all ova like this.Guess someone should tel Nas it aint dead no more & AKON,pliz when U come to Nairobi(dec.) dont talk 2 much bout that konvict sh** we usd 2 that down here.N big up 2 DEAd PREZ 4 coming to Nairobi,that goes out to all U otha hiphop acts its bout time y'all came back 2 where it all started,AFRICA!!! React!
why niggaz always blame the label when they album didnt sell like they wanted it to......after 6 videos......internet promo.....106 & park.......mtv.....magazines....radio.....what more can the label do.....lol its in his hands from here man.....the album is not that good.....his buzz isnt as big as it was when GRODT came out....the singing and all the gun busin songs are played out.
Kanye West's Graduation has reportedly trumped 50 Cent's Curtis in first week sales and is on pace to be the No. 1 album on The Billboard 200 next week.
According to Billboard, Nielsen's SoundScan recently launched Building Charts, a program that tracks weekly sales from eight leading accounts set up by music retailers nationwide including Trans World Entertainment, Best Buy, Borders, CircuitCity, iTunes and Target.
The Building Charts reading for Wednesday afternoon (September 12) revealed that Kanye's Graduation had first week sales of 437,000. Sales for 50 Cent's Curtis sales read off at 310,000 and country singer Kenny Chesney's album, Just Who I Am: Poets and Pirates, shifted 107,000 copies.
A poll and a survey conducted by SOHH before and after both albums from West and 50 leaked onto the internet, both predicted that Kanye would outsell 50 Cent in the first week.
If Graduation sells over 468,000 copies before Sunday (September 16), when the Nielsen SoundScan week officially ends, the album will snatch the title of rap's biggest first-week sales in 2007 from T.I.'s latest effort, T.I. vs. TIP.
Graduation features appearances from boasts guest spots from Mos Def, Coldplay singer Chris Martin, T-Pain, Lil' Wayne, Daft Punk and DJ Premier.
