Here’s a bonus 50 Cent interview back when Get Rich or Die Tryin was about to drop. Funny how time flies!

Eminem’s Relapse 2 does not have an official release date, but fans can expect new material in 2010.
“The new material [on Relapse 2] is definitely different,” he shared. “Making Relapse, I was still working the drugs out of my system, so there was a lot of…just jokey shit. It was a lot of punchline-y, funny, shock value—kind of going back to The Slim Shady LP. And that was cool, but I’ve kind of flipped the page. Now I’m going for songs instead of one-liners. I don’t want to make shit that you hear once and then the joke’s over; I want to make records that you could play a hundred times, a thousand times.”

Curren$y is briefly mentioned as “one of Dash’s hot new things.” On a side note, it sounds as if the office described below is the set for Curren$y’s “Life Under The Scope” music video.
Inside a large and empty belly of a building in the TriBeCa neighborhood of New York, Damon Dash roosts and inflates. These are his new offices and he’s barely moved in, but his aspirations seem to have leased this space forever. There is something of an art gallery on the first floor and a control center of video and audio on the second floor, with projection screens projecting budding talent on the blank walls before you. Lap-topping on a beanbag chair in one of Dash’s nuclei of work spaces is Curren$y, one of Dash’s hot new things, his wrist moored by a five-hundred-pound Tiret watch, one of Dash’s hot new accessories. Dash brands, too, but more brazenly. [Read the full story...]
B.G., formerly of Cash Money Records, explains why he’s parting ways with T.I.’s Grand Hustle Records. It’s politics as usual…
The news comes on the heels of the rapper’s latest release, Too Hood 2 Be Hollywood. “I’m gonna be a free agent,” explained the rapper in an interview. “I’m gonna sit down with the people that closest to me like my manager and lawyers and see what’s the best route to do. [Grand Hustle,] no, all that’s over with. [T.I.] was the executive producer of the project with me when it was on Atlantic. After the situation with him and the Hip Hop Awards, they kind of froze up on me, kept pushing the album back. This was pre-recession. Once I felt like they were playing with me, I stopped calling, got back doing what I was doing, creating another opportunity.”
