50 Cent Confirms That His Album Will Be Out In July, Compares Floyd Mayweather To Muhammad Ali

50 Cent sticking with a July release date for his new album, says Mayweather is "the Ali of our generation."

For quite some time the fate of 50 Cent’s fifth studio album seemed a bit unclear due to his issues with his label, Interscope Records. But while being interviewed by various reporters at the Floyd Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas, he revealed that his fifth studio album will in fact be released July of this year.
“Of course man,” said 50 Cent when asked if he’s working on any new music. “I’m actually working on the music. New album will be out July.”
While 50 Cent did reveal the July 2 release date for his album via Twitter, this is the first time he’s spoken publicly on the album’s release date.
Since he was in fact being interviewed at Mayweather’s Boxing Club, 50 Cent was asked several questions about boxing and even spoke on taking part in the sport as a youth. He also referred to Mayweather as being “the Ali of our time” when asked if the boxer is greater than boxing legend Muhammad Ali.
“I’ve been watching boxing for a long time. I’ve been a huge fan of it,” 50 Cent explained in a video posted on HipHop-n-More.com. “I started boxing when I was 12-years-old. I didn’t get a chance to go as far as my friend [Floyd Mayweather] did. I get a chance to live vicariously through him …I think he is equivalent to Ali. He’s the Ali of our time, our generation.”
No other details on 50 Cent’s fifth studio album have been revealed.

50 Cent Lays Claim To Young Buck's Recordings

50 Cent seeks to halt Young Buck's asset liquidation until it is determined what can and cannot be sold.

50 Cent is laying claim to Young Buck's recordings and threatening to sell the assets in his bankruptcy.
According to WSJ, 50 Cent and G-Unit's attorneys indicate that a recent motion to sell Young Buck's intellectual property doesn't disclose the specific assets. Now, Fif is asking a bankruptcy judge to block the sale until it is determined what he can and cannot sell.
“The creditors are left with no choice but to file this opposition to ensure that the trustee is not seeking to adversely affect the creditors’ rights in assets that they own, or in which they have rights and interests,” wrote 50's attorneys in papers filed last week.
50 claims that his label owns 100 percent of Buck's recording rights and has the exclusive right "to distribute, reproduce, and authorize adaptations and all performances in whatever form." He also states that he owns the rights to everything from Buck's professional name to his likeness, and can administer and publish his songs.
The issue will go before a bankruptcy judge next month in Nashville, Tennessee.

Wiz Khalifa Given Citation For Marijuana Possession

Wiz Khalifa was busted for weed at a Holiday Inn in Nashville, Tennessee.

Wiz Khalifa was given a marijuana citation at his hotel room in the Holiday Inn in Nashville, Tennessee.
According to TMZ, a fellow guest at the hotel complained about the smell of marijuana, resulting in a call to police. Upon their arrival, Wiz tossed a small bag of pot in hopes of concealing it from the cops, who retrieved the item.
Wiz was given a citation for the incident, though no arrests were made.
In November 2010, he was arrested for trafficking marijuana following a performance at East Carolina University. A year later, the charges were dropped against Wiz because police were in error at the time of arrest.

Judge Rules Lyrics Can Be Used In Lil Boosie Murder Trial

A judge has ruled that lyrics from one of Lil Boosie's songs can be used as evidence against him in his murder trial.

It looks like Lil Boosie's ongoing trial for first-degree murder trial is going to get worse before it gets any better. A judge has ruled that specific lyrics from one of the Baton Rouge rapper's songs are admissible as evidence in his trial.
According to a recent report from NBC 33 TV, Judge Mike Erwin ruled during a pre-trial hearing this past Tuesday that three specific lyrics from one of Boosie's songs can be used by the prosecution to show personal intent in the murder case. Interrogating officer of the Baton Rouge police Alvin Howard says that the specific lines “187,” “murk,” and “cake” are references to Boosie allegedly hiring a hitman to murder Terry Boyd in 2009.
The ruling has not come without some resistance from the defense. Boosie's lawyers argue that not only is Officer Howard not an expert witness in rap slang, but that the prosecution may have altered the lyrics of the track in question and thus should not play the song in court. Judge Erwin sustained both of the defense's objections, but allowed the specific lyrics in question to be entered into evidence.
The name of the song in question has yet to be revealed to the general public. If found guilty, Lil Boosie faces a life sentence in prison.

Lil Wayne Scraps "I Can't Feel My Face" Album With Juelz Santana

It looks like Lil Wayne and Juelz Santana's long-awaited project is no more, as Wayne has turned it into his next solo project.

Fans still eagerly awaiting Lil Wayne and Juelz Santana's fabled I Can't Feel My Face album, don't hold your breath. Weezy confirmed that for now, the project has been scrapped.

In a recent interview with MTV, Wayne said that he has moved on from the long awaited project and will be reusing much of the music originally recorded for the LP on his upcoming I Am Not a Human Being II. He explained that while his recent prison sentence definitely put a damper on the initial release time for the LP, it was Santana's own legal issues last year that prevented the duo from finishing it.
"I actually got at [Jue]lz when I got out [of jail] and told him, 'Man, I think it's time we really capitalize on that,'" he explained. "[Now], he can't work how he wants to work because they shut down his studio. I sent him some music and he didn't send them back in the time-fashion that I work. I started putting extra verses on those songs and I've moved on. Now what probably would've been I Can't Feel My Face, has now turned into I Am Not Human 2!

Waka Flocka Flame Addresses Beef With Wiz Khalifa

Waka Flocka Flame gives a somewhat conflicted explanation of his beef with Wiz Khalifa to Angie Martinez.

In December 2011, Waka Flocka Flame called out Wiz Khalifa for having "no swag" and "hyp[ing his] way to the top." Snoop Dogg briefly spoke on matter, but Wiz Khalifa did not address the matter.
In an interview with Angie Martinez on Hot 97, Waka addressed the matter. "It's deaded," he said of the beef. "I ain't bothering nobody. I don't know what's goin' on."
Martinez pushed the issue, saying that she felt Waka Flocka and Khalifa could potentially collaborate. "Negative," replied Waka. "Negative. That's like me...rapping about cookies and creams and lollipops. What you gon' call me? Nice guy or a sucka? I got this album about to drop [June] twelfth."
"That's a nice guy. ...I got cousins who like his music. That's it. We're two nice guys with good music."
"I want my fans to support that man one hundred percent," added Waka. "I don't wish any bad on him or nothin'. It is what it is."
