<p>Rapper 50 Cent has commented on the latest chapter of his feud with Rick Ross.<span id="more-13590"></span></p>
<p>Pictures of 50 Cent, Floyd Mayweather and Rick Ross&#8217; ex girlfriend Tia Kemp hit the internet last week, featuring 50, Tia and her two children at Mayweather&#8217;s mansion in Las Vegas.</p>
<p>The photos featured 50 Cent and Floyd holding and posing with Rick Ross&#8217; son, as well Tia&#8217;s older son DeAndre from a previous relationship.</p>
<p>Originally both men left family members out of their long standing feud, after 50 Cent removed a video of G-Unit members filming DJ Khaled’s mother as she dozed off at work in a Florida retail store.</p>
<p>In response, Rick Ross posted images of 50 Cent’s son Marquis with a monkey head on the Internet.</p>
<p>According to 50, this is where the battle crossed the line and justified the video featuring 50 and Mayweather with Rick Ross&#8217; children.</p>
<p>“When you’re competing as an artist, there’s boundaries that I wouldn’t cross myself personally, until the other artist crosses those boundaries,” 50 Cent told Vibe. “It was a point where Rick had took my sons picture, he cut a picture of my son out and put him on top of a monkey. At that point, the parameters changed. Nothings off limits at the point.”</p>
<p>50 Cent, Floyd Mayweather and Rick Ross has been feuding ever since Ross name checked both man on his single “Mafia Music,” taken from his #1 album <em>Deeper Than Rap</em>.</p>
<p>According to 50 Cent, he was simply trying to show Rick Ross’ children a good time in Las Vegas and blamed the rapper for not having better communication with Tia and his family.</p>
<p>“That wasn’t mean to be a vicious event,” 50 Cent explained. “It was more like me wanting to actually get a chance to meet the kid. Tia told me she wanted to bring the boys out so we could actually talk in Florida. I was in Miami. Because my touring tour was so hectic, I wasn’t able to meet the baby at that point, so I had them bring him out to Las Vegas, [because] I felt like they would enjoy themselves and they did enjoy themselves. If Rick had more communications with his son’s mom and he helped out a little more, than he would be aware of those situations prior to them actually happening.&#8221;</p>
<p>At press time Rick Ross has yet to respond to the pictures and videos of 50 Cent holding his child at Floyd Mayweather&#8217;s mansion in Las Vegas.</p>
<p>50 Cent&#8217;s latest album <em>Before I Self Destruct</em> is in stores now.</p>

Judge Patricia M. Schnegg acknowledged that Brown has completed more than 100 hours of community labor so far, and seven domestic violence counseling sessions.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chris Brown has received &#8220;an extremely favorable&#8221; report from officials overseeing his probation, a Los Angeles judge said Thursday.</p>
<p>Judge Patricia M. Schnegg acknowledged that Brown has completed more than 100 hours of community labor so far, and seven domestic violence counseling sessions.<span id="more-13465"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;We have a progress report and it&#8217;s extremely favorable,&#8221; Judge Schnegg said. &#8220;That&#8217;s excellent.&#8221;</p>
<p>Brown, 20, who attended the hearing, was sentenced in August to six months of community labor for his felony assault on Rihanna, 21.</p>
<p>That amounts to more than 1,400 hours of washing cars, removing graffiti and cleaning and maintaining grounds in his home state of Virginia.<!-- jump --></p>
<p>He was also sentenced to five years probation, a year of domestic violence classes, and ordered not to contact Rihanna for the next five years. He has since publicly apologized for his actions.</p>
<p>Rihanna, who recently broke her silence about the Feb. 8 beating, told Diane Sawyer how she eventually broke things off with Brown, and how she feels about him today.</p>
<p>&#8220;Love doesn&#8217;t go away right away,&#8221; Rihanna said. &#8220;He didn&#8217;t accept that very well. Obviously he didn&#8217;t want us to be apart. But I had to make a decision for me.&#8221;</p>
<p>She added: &#8220;I want him to do well, have a great career, have a great life and grow up. And just take this as something you had to go through to grow up and learn.&#8221;</p>
<p>Another progress review for Brown is set for Feb. 18.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rapper Juelz Santana has responded to recent comments that former group member Cam’ron made in regards to a potential Dipset reunion.<span id="more-13461"></span></p>
<p>Juelz appeared on AllHipHop.com’s Eric B. and Friends morning show yesterday (November 18), where he addressed Cam’ron’s most recent statements claiming that “Dipset was over.&#8221;</p>
<p>While the prospects of a reunion between estranged group members like Jim Jones, Hell Rell and Freaky Zeeky are slim, Juelz remained somewhat optimistic, despite Cam’ron’s refusal to do business with his former allies.</p>
<p>According to a Juelz, the root of the dispute is centered around a bad business deal with Diplomat Records, which was run by Cam. The label released Juelz’ first two albums <em>From Me to U </em>(2003) and <em>What the Game&#8217;s Been Missing!</em> (2005).</p>
<p>&#8220;I would love to do it,&#8221; Santana told AllHipHop.com. &#8220;If you really look me and Jim [Jones] been shouting out the Byrd. Despite the situation with Cam and despite Cam getting on radio interviews saying ‘oh I will never do nothing with them again.’ My whole thing for not being next to Cam at this moment was ‘cause we had a bad business situation…I didn’t understand how I person that I thought was my brother could put me in a situation like that, even though I respect the situation just by putting me in the game, I’ll never take that away, but I couldn’t just stand there and just be a fool no more.&#8221;</p>
<p>Despite Cam’s statements that Dipset is finished, the Harlem native recently launched Dipset West, with his former group members.</p>
<p>“I put a lot of bricks in that building,” Juelz stated. “So my work was more than put in, so even if you can say you brought me to the game, well guess what, I gave you everything for brining me to the game. I helped build that Diplomat building to the top floor. When you think of Dipset I&#8217;ll always be in your brain. If Cam feels like for whatever reason he is too big to get over whatever happened, or he’s too stubborn or whatever the case may be, so be it. At the end of the day, I am comfortable. I can look in the mirror.”</p>
<p>As for Juelz Santana is not wasting any time moving his career forward, with several mixtapes planned, in addition to releases by his group Skull Gang and his own solo album,<em> Born to Lose, Built To Win. </em></p>
<p>Santana recently shot a video in Los Angeles for the single &#8220;Homerun&#8221; with chart topping New Orleans rapper Lil Wayne which will be featured on the album.</p>
<p>So far, featured artists on Juelz&#8217; third studio album include Chrisette Michelle, Chris Brown and others.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A new court battle has erupted over the infamous Hip-Hop label Death Row Records, which was once home to rap stars like Tupac, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and others.</p>
<p>Lara Lavi formed Wideawake-Death Row Ent. with the company that financed the purchase, New Solutions Financial Corp.<span id="more-13455"></span></p>
<p>Wideawake-Death Row bought the old Death Row Records in bankruptcy court for $18 million dollars in 2008.</p>
<p>Lavi filed a new lawsuit on November 13 in New York Supreme Court, claiming that New Solutions is illegally diverting funds from the Hip-Hop label.</p>
<p>Lavi, who claims to be the sole CEO of Wideawake-Death Row LLC., accuses New Solutions Financials CEO Ronald Ovenden, of diverting company assets and engaging in “fraudulent, self-dealing actions.”</p>
<p>The lawsuit seeks to prevent Ovenden, New Solutions Financials managing director Robert Thompson and another company from doing business on behalf of the Gangsta rap label.</p>
<p>Lavi also seeks to recover all of the assets Ovenden and Thompson allegedly diverted in additional to “reasonable costs and reimbursements.”</p>
<p>Death Row was put up for sale after former owner Suge Knight defaulted on a $107 million dollar judgment awarded to Lydia Harris, who claimed she and her husband Michael “Harry-O” Harris financed the label.</p>
<p>The news comes as Death Row Records prepares to release a greatest hits collection on November 24, titled <em>Ultimate Death Row Collection</em>.</p>
<p>The album is a three-disc compilation featuring 60 tracks from the labels biggest artists.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Based on first day sales, <strong>50 Cent</strong>&#8217;s <em>Before I Self Destruct </em>is projected to sell between 150,000 and 160,000 units in its first week.<span id="more-13412"></span></p>
<p>The projection, courtesy of <strong>hitsdailydouble.com</strong>, prognosticates by far the lowest debut numbers for a <strong>50 Cent </strong>album. The rapper&#8217;s previous three albums &#8211; <em>Get Rich or Die Tryin&#8217;</em> (2002), <em>The Massacre</em> (2004) and <em>Curtis </em>(2007) &#8211; debuted at 872,000, 1.15 million and 695,000 uniits sold, respectively.</p>
<p>The album was originally set for release on November 23, but was pushed up to November 16 because it leaked online last month.</p>
<p>Although 150,000 is a solid sales figure in the current industry climate, the number is dwarfed other similarly anticipated Hip Hop releases this year. <strong>Eminem</strong>&#8217;s <em>Relapse </em>sold over 600,000 its first week, and <strong>Jay-Z</strong>&#8217;s <em>Blueprint 3 </em>moved over 475,000 units in its debut.</p>
<p><strong>Interscope Records</strong>, the label on which the album was released, was reached for comment, but hasn&#8217;t responded.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Former Outlawz member Mutah “Napoleon” Beale will launch a new TV show in Britain to introduce people to Islam.</p>
<p><em>Napoleon TV</em> will launch December 1 on Sky’s Up &amp; Coming channel and will air across Europe and North Africa.<span id="more-13391"></span></p>
<p>Beale will present a number of different celebrities being introduced to the Quran, segments on Fatwa’s and advice from accredited scholars, which will help Western Muslims in need of guidance.</p>
<p>&#8220;It seems like here in America the media is attacking Islam in every way possible, so I decided to use the media to give people an understanding about the true religion of Islam, which is whole and peaceful&#8221; Beale told Al Arabiya.</p>
<p>The name of the show, <em>Napoleon TV</em> is a nod to his former rap alias as a member of Tupac Shakur’s group The Outlawz.</p>
<p><em>Napoleon TV</em> will also feature exclusive footage of Beale opening an orphanage in Gambia in partnership with UK charity, Muslim Global Relief.</p>
<p>The charity is personal for Beale, who was left an orphan after his parents were murdered in front of him during a botched robbery attempt.</p>
<p>His older brother Seike Beale committed suicide after the ordeal.</p>
<p>“I was an orphan and this is something I want to do because it is close to my heart,” Beale said. “I will not be making a single penny out of this all money raised will go towards helping orphaned children.”</p>
<p>As a member of The Outlawz, Napoleon was featured on a number of hit albums with Tupac Shakur, including <em>Me Against the World</em>, <em>All Eyez On Me</em> as well as Pac’s infamous diss track “Hit ‘Em Up.”</p>
<p>&#8220;People will get to see me going about my business while always striving to get closer to Allah,&#8221; Napoleon said.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Michael Jackson</strong> looks platinum-plausible after three weeks of the <em>This Is It</em> soundtrack, especially with Black Friday approaching. The collection includes <strong>Jackson</strong> hits like the Hip Hop favorite &#8220;Human Nature&#8221; various demo and single versions of other hits throughout the last three decades. The work fell two places to #4 from last week.<span id="more-13383"></span><br />
<strong><br />
Jay-Z</strong> slid one place with <em>Blueprint 3</em> in a week that saw seven charting debuts before him. With a new video to &#8220;Empire State Of Mind,&#8221; the <strong>Atlantic Records</strong>-distributed effort could beat out <strong>Black Eyed Peas </strong>and <strong>Eminem</strong> as 2009&#8217;s top-selling Rap album, although <strong>50 Cent</strong> and <strong>Lil Wayne</strong> loom on the horizon, with releases. Jay&#8217;s wife, <strong>Beyonce</strong>, had a massive 50-plus place increase of <em>I Am&#8230;Sasha Fierce</em>. The album slipped back into the Top 40, due to touring and appearances, as well as her new <strong>Lady Gaga</strong>-assisted &#8220;Video Phone&#8221; video.</p>
<p>Speaking of, <strong>The Black Eyed</strong> <strong>Peas</strong> stayed around their usual #20 spot for <em>The E.N.D</em>. The Electro-Pop work may be a departure from even the group&#8217;s more recent two albums, but the <strong>Good Life</strong>-birthed outfit remains an underground Hip Hop success story.</p>
<p>Another <strong>Interscope</strong> artist, DMV emcee and<strong> DXnext </strong>alum, <strong>Wale</strong> debuted just units behind, with his <em>Attention : Deficit</em>. Signed to <strong>Jay-Z</strong>&#8217;s<strong> Roc Nation</strong> management firm, and backed by <strong>Grammy</strong>, gold-selling producer <strong>Mark Ronson</strong>, <strong>Wale</strong>&#8217;s debut boasts appearances from <strong>Bun B</strong>, <strong>The Neptunes</strong>, <strong>Gucci Mane</strong> and <strong>Roc Nation</strong> tourmate <strong>J. Cole</strong>.</p>

<p>The biggest surprise on the charts last week <strong>Tech N9ne</strong>&#8217;s <em>K.O.D.</em> sold another 6,000 units, slipping just outside the Top 100. The Kansas City rapper, who has sold over one million records independently in the course of his career, has developed his <strong>Strange</strong> label extensively this year, signing <strong>Brotha Lynch Hung</strong>, and developing local talent, <strong>Krizz Kaliko </strong>and <strong>Big Scoob</strong>.</p>
<p><span id="intelliTXT"> </span><span id="intelliTXT"><strong>Rick Ross</strong>&#8216; first act on <strong>Maybach Music</strong>, <strong>Triple C&#8217;s</strong> scanned another 3,000 of their <em>Custom Cars &amp; Cycles</em>. The <strong>Def Jam</strong> release featured a number of videos made in promotion of the project, and boasted guest appearances from both <strong>Young Jeezy</strong> and <strong>Gucci Mane</strong>. <strong>Kid Cudi</strong> also crossed the 200,000 mark of his debut, <em>Man On The Moon: End Of Day</em>, executive produced by <strong>Kanye West</strong>.<br />
</span></p>
<p>Just days before doubling his prison sentence over parole violation, Baton Rouge&#8217;s <strong>Lil Boosie</strong> continues to climb past the 100,000 mark with <em>Superbad: The Return Of Boosie Badazz, </em>just as he&#8217;s done with his previous <strong>Trill Entertainment</strong> releases.</p>
<p>Besides <strong>Wale</strong>, the only other Rap debut was <strong>Wyclef Jean</strong>&#8217;s retail mixtape with <strong>DJ Drama</strong>, <em>Toussaint St. Jean: From The Hut, To The Projects, To The Mansion.</em> Released through <strong>Sony Red</strong>, the incubator to <strong>Jean</strong>&#8217;s longtime <strong>Columbia</strong> contract, this work features <strong>Eve</strong>, <strong>Lil Kim</strong> and <strong>Timbaland</strong>. The retail release cleared just over 3,000 units, falling in at #171.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gucci Mane spoke out for the first time Tuesday (November 17) since being <a href="http://musiconplay.net/13/11/2009/gucci-mane-sentenced-to-a-year-in-prison/" >sent back to jail</a> last week. Through a statement sent to <a href="http://www.xxlmag.com/online/?p=62899"  target="_blank">XXLMag.com</a>, Gucci said he is prepared to face the music.<span id="more-13378"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;I have accepted full responsibility for my actions, and I am ready to deal with what is in front of me right now,&#8221; Gucci&#8217;s statement read. &#8220;Thankfully, my label is still moving forward with my album release, so I will have plenty to look forward to when I get out. I am remaining positive and want my fans to know that I am grateful for their loyalty and continued support. I will get through this.&#8221;</p>
<p>Last week, Gucci was sentenced to 12 months in jail for a probation violation. He failed to serve hundreds of hours of community service and attend classes for anger management and drug and alcohol abuse. Gucci also disregarded court orders to obtain permission for his travel. His lawyer and the courts say the rapper will serve no more than six months. During his sentencing, Gucci faced two and a half years, but the judge was lenient.</p>
<p>&#8220;First of the year, he could be out,&#8221; <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1626277/20091113/gucci_mane.jhtml" >Gucci&#8217;s lawyer Dwight L. Thomas</a> explained to MTV News last week. &#8220;It all depends on his conduct and how he conducts himself while he&#8217;s there. We&#8217;re working on other avenues that might entitle him to be released early. If nothing happens at all, he&#8217;ll do six months. But if we&#8217;re able to do some of the things we&#8217;re exploring, we may get this thing down to two months.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;You can&#8217;t hold down a man like Gucci for long,&#8221; Shawty Lo told <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1626309/20091113/brown__chris__18_.jhtml" ><em>Mixtape Daily</em></a> about his friend&#8217;s sentence. &#8220;His situation is unfortunate, but he&#8217;ll be back on top in a few.&#8221;</p>
