“Dre sent over a bunch of beats, and we’re just going through them all, picking out who wants what,” the G-Unit chief told Blender from Eminem’s Detroit home, where he was spending the night. “We already finished one joint”–the Slim Shady-starring “Norman Bates Motel”–”and just started vocals on another. It’s gonna blow you away, I guarantee.”

Do these three still have the same impact they used to have? We have seen what a long delay can do with Nelly’s recent results, so will Eminem & Dr.Dre still bring in big numbers?

“I’m a big fan of Jay-Z, but outside of the States and hip-hop circles, no one really knew who he was until he married Beyonce.”

The In Da Club rapper has also disputed reports that Jay-Z is worth an estimated $1 billion (GBP540 million), but is adamant he’s not jealous of his fortune.
He adds, “I don’t believe he’s worth that much! It’s all been exaggerated. I’m comfortable. I don’t want for anything so I’m not in a race.”

Jay-Z was internationally known before Beyonce?

The film — which isn’t autobiographical — aims to show the complexities of what 50 refers to as “urban life” in a new way: “When [movies] portray certain lifestyles they don’t show cause and effect,” he says. “But I showed characters under pressure in scenarios where they felt like there were no other options, even though there were.” He adds, “There are always options. People just usually start to see them while being incarcerated — for not seeing them in the first place.”

I just woke up from a quick studio nap… I’ve been workin’ on 808s and Heartbreak about 16 hrs a day and Superman passed out for a little bit… I’m in hawaii but I’m still on NY time so I wake up mad early, do some business, blog, jog for an hour, play ball, eat and then hit the stu by noon. While approving the final cut for the Love Lockdown vid, I marvel at the fact that it was written less than 3 weeks ago. I’m very excited about the everything… I guarantee this will be 50’s favorite album of mine. This will be gangster’s album of the year.

Looks like Kanye seen 50 mocking him and won’t be backing down.

Another moment in the show that had everyone talking was when 50 had fun with Kanye West, doing his own rendition of “Love Lockdown.” Yayo said the crew was just having a good time and that they would welcome another SoundScan showdown with Mr. West. Kanye’s 808’s & Heartbreak and 50’s Before I Self Destruct are due in December, one week apart from each other.

“That’ll be fun,” Yayo noted. “In my eyes, I don’t think Kanye will never be bigger than Fif, no matter what his numbers do.”

I don’t see any reason why the results wouldn’t be the same…

I see 50 is still taking shots at Kanye despite Kanye never dissing him, this technique didn’t work before and won’t work now. With 50 dropping a week before Kanye’s next album can we expect more jabs in the near future?
