Not sure but he said on here that he still wants to move there.

I'm sure there's gotta be something that'd allow him to leave provided he really wants to. Contract or not, you can't just restrict people of furthering themselves in life.

I'd have to disagree. Diddy did the same thing with Styles P, Jadakiss and Sheek Louch when they wanted to be released from Bad Boy Records.

Geez...all to keep them from going elsewhere. You'd think this was college football or something. XD

Many people have issues with Eminem being the best selling rapper of all time. Many people even straight-up deny it and claim Tupac is, despite the fact that the numbers say different. What do y'all think of this? Does it insult you that Eminem is the best-selling? Those of you who are always on will know that I think it is well-deserved.

:3 Em is a beast among beast lol. I think he really deserves it.

Posting from my phone, so I can't provide the best link right now. But Rihanna's next song, "Hard", which features Young Jeezy was released today. That shit goes hard, it's much better than her Russian Roulette single. Not quite as strong as Chris's "Crawl" though. Who do you guys think will have stronger sales, Chris or Rihanna? Public opinion is probably leaning in favor of Rihanna right now, but Chris actually has the music critics on lock as he's been getting nothing but good reviews for his first two singles so far. Rihanna will be on Good Morning America tomorrow, and Chris will be on MTV Friday at 6.

Rihanna of coarse.

I still can''t get over Chris Browns cover.....

RememberRoxas · November 5th, 2009, 12:25 AM

Its been confirmed somewhere that Relpase 2 is coming out sometime this month

THIS MONTH??!??!

matrix8140 · November 5th, 2009, 12:54 AM

lol And D: Attention Defecit is really sounding good to me. Favorite song would be Shades, and Mirror with Bun B.

Edit:Diary too and Triumph.

2nd Edit: Fuck it, I love the whole damn album. Wale put his essenced in to it. Im proud of him, being a rising DMV(D.C. Maryland Virginia) rapper. He spits nothing but truth. And the go-go sound couldn't fit with no one else. All the featured artists did their thing to, Including J.Cole. His verse was just disgusting lol. "They hoping I pass the baton, but I just past the patron."

XIII Heartless · November 5th, 2009, 03:45 AM

Really? This month? State your source, please. Although it IS supposed to come out before the year is out, and there's only 2 months left. Still, we haven't heard a single or anything....

At Shade: Rihanna, huh? This should definitely be interesting. I'm confident Chris will have the better album, but there's no denying pity goes a long way in procuring album sales. It all depends on how she looks and what she says tomorrow morning I guess. I'll definitely be watching.

Rain · November 5th, 2009, 04:11 AM

I also say Chris Brown will have the better album sales. He's making a very nice comeback and I'm liking his new songs so far.

XIII Heartless · November 5th, 2009, 04:28 AM

Well, I'm not saying he'll have better sales. That's my hope, but I agree with Shade, he's got too much going against him right now. However, I think in hindsight, he'll definitely have the better album. His new video is #1 on iTunes right now, I Can Transform Ya has already cracked the top 20, and his better single, Crawl, will be out soon. I think that song will definitely be a #1 hit on Billboard. And once he starts performing again! Shit, it'll be a wrap then, nobody can put on a better performance than him now that Michael is gone (R.I.P.)

Rolling Stone has confirmed it to be releasing in Nov. 2009

XIII Heartless · November 6th, 2009, 06:29 AM

Oh yeah, because Rolling Stone is the end-all in deciding release dates. XD They're just speculating since Em said it'd be out this year. I doubt it comes out this year, but if it does, it'll be December. Matrix, idk about Wale. The dude's verse on the BET Cypher was probably the weakest out of ALL the contestants (including the dude who didn't even use English!). Considering the likely fact that all the rappers pre-wrote their material, it makes him look even worse. I could've wrote something much better.

EDIT: Chris Brown will supposedly be giving the "whole story" tomorrow on MTV. For those interested.

I didn't notice this.

Eminem is good but his fans overhype him.
