50 Cent has a new DVD and Album coming soon

50 Cent announced that he will be releasing a new DVD along with his new CD titled "Before I self Destruct". The lead single titled "Get Up" is a banger and the album is expected to have collabs and production by Scott Storch,Dr Dre and Eminem.

The DVD, all written by himself, is supposed to be a shocking reality into inner city life.
50 says “There will be some who will greatly identify with the characters and the situations presented and then there will be others who may be shocked at the struggles that go on in the inner city,” 50 Cent said of the feature, which marks his directorial debut. "I made the film for both groups."

I look forward to hearing the CD the most since his last effort which did well on Billboard, was not his hardest CD. This one is said to be darker!

Andre 3000 plans to release a new CD

Andre 3000 has plans to release a new album by the end of the year. He did not give too many details but says he has a vision and just needs to figure out how to get there.

He also said not to expect anything really on the collaboration side because he like s to just work by himself.

The album should be pretty unique and probably not for all hardcore Hip-Hop fans.

Irv Gotti returning to VH-1

It looks like Murder Inc. CEO Irv Gotti will be returning to reality TV on VH-1.
We were told season two of Gotti's Way will focus on the breakup of his troubled marriage.

I enjoyed the first season but I was surprised to hear of a second season considering every Hip-Hop artist is trying to get a reality TV deal. I'm thinking soon the people will tire of it!
