Def Jam's sorry ass keeps pushing the new album back. Supposedly it comes out next month now...

 

[CrypticOne]

Jedi Mind Tricks Feat. Tragedy Khadafi - Genghis Khan

One of the dopest songs from JMT. People should also checkout Animal Rap by them too.

On Monday, while promoting his album Street Hop (which comes out October 20), Royce talked with MTV News a bit about the possible alliance.

"It's very much what it looks like," Royce said of Slaughterhouse joining forces with Eminem. "That's always a possibility. It's conversations being had, very good conversations. I just did an interview recently and they asked me to a address the rumors. I said, 'Rumors are what they are, people see things and they jump to a conclusion.' I never said it wasn't going to happen — I left it right there in the middle. I think it would be a great thing if it could happen."

Royce says he has been in discussion with Eminem and Slim Shady's Paul Rosenberg for some time and the Slaughterhouse/ Shady Records deal isn't looking too bad.

"I've been talking to Em and Paul for a long time," Royce added. "With this particular situation, things are falling into place. Everything is in place where it's supposed to be. I'm very prepared [for] when the opportunity presented itself. It's a time where there's things they need over here and certain things we need in order to move over there. I think it's a good marriage. Like I said, I just hope it can happen."

Posted on ThisIs50.com, the rapper's website also has a link to an alleged version of Joe's new album for free download.

This afternoon while in his Manhattan offices, employees say that 50 Cent was listening to Fat Joe's new album, J.O.S.E. 2 when all the sudden, he collapsed! An ambulance was called, and by the time they arrived, 50 Cent regained consciousness and was complaining of blurred vision and a severe migraine. 50 Cent was rushed to Mt. Sinai hospital at 4:26 pm. Doctors say after performing a Cat Scan and EKG there seems to be some damage to his auditory cortex, which is the region of the brain that is responsible for processing sound. (This Is 50)​

50's partner is rhymes Tony Yayo also participated in the stunt via Twitter.

'On my way to the hospital," he wrote Monday afternoon. "Keep 50 in ya'll prayers. Let's see him thru this. 50 rushed to the hospital here are the details." (Tony Yayo's Twitter)​

VIDEO:

50 may have lost his touch musically, but his comedy game is always on point. This dude's a fool.

Haha, wtf

I was watching Afro Samurai 1 and 2 and RZA was the musical mastermind behind both of them.

I now love RZA.

That is all.

*throws flash bang and disappears into the Hype world.*

 

[Wylie Times]

Lol this fool had the "I'll be missing you" beat playing in background with ER footage.

I'd go as far as to say Rza is the most influential Hip-Hop producer since Premier.

 

[Crook]

Only if we pretend Dre doesn't exist. Maybe.

Being more successful and being more influential are two different things. You can hear elements of Rza's style in more songs produced by up and comers than you can hear of Dre. Hell Kanye's production style is just a lighter version of what Rza does. You can hear it in some of 9th Wonder's stuff too (though you hear more of a premier influence in his stuff though)

I'm not going to say I know anything about either sides, I am simply going off of what I heard and it's what I love.

This is the opening theme song:

My McAfee Site Advisor red flagged that link.

 

[Crook]

I assure you it's safe, my friend. McAfee sucks btw.

 

[Manic]

McAfee may not catch everything, but I tend not to ignore the few things it does catch.
