The saga with 50 Cent and the editor of XXL magazine continues. It all started when 50's former manager Chaz "Slim" Williams had a sit down with XXL writer Radar. Slim had problems with 50 -- of course -- and wanted to air his side of the story through the mag. He gave a lot of dirt on 50 and in true bully form, 50 got pissy. He found out about the dirty laundry Slim aired and threatened pulling his ads out of XXL's print mag if they didn't scrap the interview or make it sound better. Supposdly, Slim has proof that 50 is lying about how many times he was shot -- if ever shot at all --and his hardknock lifestlye that has been exaggerated. XXL said "hell no" to 50 and ran Slim's story in the November issue anyway. The mag isn't saying either way of whether or not there is any truth to Slim's accusations. But yesterday, when a blogger for XXL wrote about the issue at hand, the story was yanked that same day. Word is that the mag is trying to make nice with 50 since they've pissed him off at this point. So they're trying to squash any rehashing of the situation. I guess they're starting to fall for 50's bullying tactics. Sad.

Ever since I wrote about Janet Jackson's product manager and what I thought was "curious" behavior, a lot has happened. Aside from the idle threats of violence, I've been all kinds of son's of bitches and we've been manning phone calls from the label. Clearly, I must have been on to something. But I "dropped" it. Then last night, this nonsense happens...

Janet's fansites and forums are now buzzing from a message left by someone "claiming" to be Gil, one of Janet's dancers. I have yet to verify it's authenticity, but here are excerpts.

"First and foremost, let me say that there will be a tour no matter what. Virgin got a 'talking to' and no matter what --- she is going to tour. There's a contract supporting this. They cannot pull out on the project by law...

Janet wants everyone to call Virgin when you get a chance or EMail, but calling is the most efficient. Leave messages! The people we need to be contacting are David Munz and Jason Flam."

But here is where it gets juicy.

"The reason for the album not doing well is Virgin is not at all supporting her on the Pop side of things. Jermaine has been doing his job by promoting Urban, but Virgin is not - I repeat - not supporting her on Pop.

The reason? Janet isn't resigning with them. Their attitude now is, 'She's leaving us. Why support her?'

The most crazy/shocking thing is -- Janet has been paying for everything. Flights, Dancers, Band, Hotels.... EVERYTHING! Virgin hasn't paid for a thing. All of this has been coming out of her own pocket. She's happy that she came in at #2, and it means a lot to her, because it was all of her work/money as well
as JDs work on Urban."

Now of course this can be some ridiculous fan with the ability and reach to start some shit, but let's think on it for a second. Aren't people sorta kinda baffled by the progress of this campaign? Even if you aren't a Janet fan, doesn't things seem a bit off kilter? Just a little?

Remember, this is the very same label that gave Mariah Carey $23 million dollars upfront to create an album, they didn't like it and then turned around and gave her $30 million to break the contract. All for one album, so this all maybe a disgusting rumor or it could be par for the course. (Ain't it funny though that Jermaine later goes on to produce the hits on Mariah's "comeback," Emancipation, and he is an executive at the very label that dropped her. That must grind somebody's gears over there.) Who knows? But let's move on.

Download DJ Clue's "So Excited" remix here featuring Fabolous, Khia and Fat Man Scoop.

Justin Timberlake's label seems to be doing their job. His single "SexyBack" continues to dominate the pop charts, the very same charts that Janet fans feel she should reign over. That damn Justin! LOL!

Check out his new video for "My Love" featuring T.I.

Damn them! I'm telling you I knew something had to be going on! But if that is true that she did it all on her own (paying), I would leave those dirty MF's too. Just another example of how the "whites" stick together....
JD did all he could do. Everybody called him fool and downed him for hustlin' for his boo.....I say ef them too! lol Do your thing JD and Jan.

First off, Sohhoul Man, Have a Happy B-day this week end. Welcome to the "29.99 plus tax" club.
Happy Friday to the Sohhoul Inmates, Sohhoul "Old" Man, and the "Trainees".

I think there's truth to every rumor and this doesn't seem too far fetched. It seems like Dang! can't get a fair break but we don't know what kinda shit she's responsible for in the back round. She may be playing the "martyr" a bit too much.
Since she's "paying' for everything, why is Virgin acting like such a bunch of Bitches? There's more to this than meets the eye.

P.S.
Dig, what happened to "first"? LOL

Posted by: skdamc at October 13, 2006 09:58 AM

and another thing...
Wht the hell would they expect her to stay and do more? With all these so called "young'ns" that they cater to sayin' that she's "old" and she need to sit down. Did they really expect her to continue on (not that she couldn't)?
She already said that she wanted to start a family and possibly have some kids and get married.
Not that doing those things would keep her from recording but she's 40 and if she trying to have children she really needed to do that a while ago (but to each her own).

This shit just burns me up!

Hey SK!

You know what? I forgot my music!


******My theme music******

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard,
And their like
It's better than yours,
Damn right it's better than yours,
I can teach you,
But I have to charge
La la-la la la,
Warm it up,
La la-la la la,
The boys are waiting… :)

First off, big ups to Warrick Dunn who held his 4th annual Wash ’n Wear Fashion Show last week at the King Plow Arts Center. He does this every year in an attempt to provide down payments on homes for single moms. I know for a fact that Warrick has been active in the community for the past decade in both Atlanta and Florida, so hip hop related or not he deserves serious props for his work.

Also, did anybody catch Ludacris rip Club Nocturnal at his album release party a couple weeks ago? He did the stage justice. No doubt Club Nocturnal was packed to the tilt but when Luda hit the stage it seemed like it got even tighter in the spot.

I initially notched "Release Therapy" as Luda's second best album but others are saying this is his best album to date. I just think people "live in the now" and are quick to to forget the past sometimes. However, you can never forget some of the classics that Luda has dropped for the A over the past decade. It's still up for debate.

Off the subject, but who is edging Luda up these days? I need to see his barber for real--he has the tightest edge up I've seen in a minute...Calm down lil' buddy, who said Photoshop?

Carmen. Superhead. The list goes on...

DMX's "baby moms," Monique Wayne, who conceived the poor child sometime in 2003 during a one-night stand, is suing X over his claims that she raped him.

I have no respect for groupies at all whatsoever. Homewreckers are even worse. The slut is guilty of both.

What is she mad for? If the little groupie slut wasn't standing outside every concert with her panties at her ankles then the tacky ho wouldn't have to worry about having her name thrown all over the place. The filthy whore knew he was married, and now her feelings are hurt because she's been called ugly, hard to look at, and labeled as the reason every man should "turn the light on before I go to sleep." She should have thought about this before she had his genitalia all down her throat.

This is nothing short of prostitution. All the smut had to do was ask for the $6M dollars in advance.

It seems that everyone's album gets leaked these days… and all the labels can really do is be tight about it and have their panties in a bunch. But when it comes to Hov? Def Jam recognizes no such thing. And I find this hissy fit hilarious.

According to Mediatakeout, Def has gone as far as contacting the F.B.I, threatening the leaker with promises to carry out criminal charges against them. Although there is no precise lead on who is responsible, Media says that a West African immigrant exclusively told them tracks from Kingdom Come began to surface globally after Jay accidentally left the disc in his hotel room in Africa, where it was stolen.

Media then said they later encountered a street vendor in Brooklyn, who had copies of the album for sale. The hustler told them the copies had just recently come from Africa. Who knows.

Jay has nothing to worry about. But if you're as corny as Jobbs or Jabbs or whatever his name is, then leaks are definitely something worth fretting over. Especially being a new artist on the scene.

Which would you rather have? A leaked album or an (accidental) fucked-face baby's mother? Neither one is a good look. Nevertheless, good luck to both.
