• Shady Records to Drop 66-Track Mixtape After 'Shady XV' Disc with Yelawolf, Slaughterhouse, 50 Cent [LISTEN]

    It looks like Eminem and his crew are going all-out for the 15th anniversary of Shady Records. They've already been promoting a two-CD compilation, "Shady XV," which hits retailers Nov. 24. Now it sounds like the rest of the tracks they couldn't fit on "Shady XV" will be included on a massive mixtape featuring 66 songs. "You guys gave me 130 records," DJ Whoo Kid said on RapRadar, speaking about Shady's co-founder, Paul Rosenberg. "Physically, you can't fit all of them on 80-minute CDs, so we had to do a double disc." The project, which has yet to be titled, will run a whopping three hours. As MTV News notes, it sounds like the mixtape will be all old stuff. "Just as a fan, you go back and you listen to some of the posse records, and the freestyles, and the remixes, crazy shit," Rosenberg said. "I forgot about all that stuff. And going back and listening to it, it brings back memories. So we did a two-CD thing. "We figured since there's so many people that are gonna be saying, 'Ah, why didn't this song make it [on the album]? Why didn't that song make it?' We'll just do something to please everybody." Some artists to look out for include Em, Yelawolf, Slaughterhouse and 50 Cent. Rosenberg did not reveal a tracklist, but he did revisit "I Get Money (Remix)" and Slim Shady's version of "Wanksta."

  • A Brief History of Law Enforcement and Hip-Hop Award Shows: T.I., Rick Ross, Jeezy and More Get Dusted Up

    Many, many agencies have called out hip-hop performers for merely being storytellers and not the actual "gangstas" their music portends. Incidents and events at awards shows have backed up the stories they tell like perhaps no other platform can.

  • Yo Gotti Shares '11/11' Produced by Infamous [LISTEN]

    Yo Gotti's upcoming studio album "The Art of Hustle" was originally promised for release today, Nov. 11, but if that does not end up happening, at least we have a new leak from the album, appropriately titled "11/11," which you can check out below. The Infamous-produced song features an eerie beat reminiscent of minimalist composers such as Philip Glass or Steve Reich, so this does not quite sound like your typical hip-hop track. You can check out Yo Gotti's "11/11" here: The Art of Hustle will be Yo Gotti's seventh studio album overall, his first since 2013's "I Am." Prior to "11/11," two other songs have also been shared from the album: "Errbody" and "I Feel Like" featuring Lil Boosie.

  • 50 Cent Loses $16 Million Lawsuit, Pushes Back Solo Album 'Street King Immortal' to Focus on G-Unit

    When you are worth more than $100 million, you can afford to take a financial hit, but 50 Cent just absorbed a $16 million wallop from Sleek Audio. AllHipHop reports that the G-Unit star committed some pretty unethical snafus en route to getting saddled with a lawsuit loss that will surely hurt his pockets. When filing the suit earlier this year, Sleek not only claimed that Fitty not only stole its product design to launch his SMS Audio headphones, but that he also jacked their confidential client information. He is also delaying his next solo album to concentrate on G-Unit.
