SOULJA BOY TOUR POSTPONED TIL SEPTEMBER
Rumor has it that Soulja Boy's tour is being postponed until September. Some are raising the question if Soulja Boy will be relevant by September since he isn't lyrical and only makes "pop" or "clubby" music that fades away fast. It might be a bad move to have a tour almost a year after you drop an album.

50 SAYS THAT HIM AND JAY-Z HAVE BEEFS WITH THE SAME PEOPLE
50 points out in an interview that him and Jay-Z share beefs with the same people in the music industry. People get frustrated and nervous at 50 Cent's success so they take shots at whoever's the top dog. The same people who complain about 50 are the same people who complained about Jay-Z in the past. He is in a sense "cleaning up" Jay-Z's mess. The beefs aren't then specifically related to 50 Cent and himself as a person, but the fact that him and Jay-Z were both on top at different points and the people under them always take shots at whoever's the hottest.
MUSIC DOWNLOADS ADDED TO YOUR INTERNET BILL?
A Warner Music Group exec is pushing a new idea to charge internet providers an extra fee which goes straight to the subscriber/customer to allow people unlimited downloads of mp3's and other media. They say that the additional fee would be about 5 dollars added to your internet bill and it would be a legal alternative to illegally downloading music through sharing networks.
However, this may not be fair to add an extra 5 dollars to someone's bill when they don't even download music through P2P networks and download other things illegally. The Music Industry needs to learn to stop being so money hungry and stop putting out trashy music to bring record sales back up. They are looking for money instead of fixing their quality issues with the product.

T.I. STEPS AWAY FROM SIGNATURE SOUND ON NEW ALBUM PAPER TRAIL
After going platinum on his last go round, T.I. decided to veer away from his style that he used on his most recent album T.I. vs. T.I.P. using the paperless raps and going straight into the booth ala Jay-Z and Lil Wayne to drop his tracks. After his gun charges, T.I. is apparently trying to regain connections with his old producers to get back his old sound.
DJ Toomp, who produced other T.I. hits like 24's, U Don't Know Me, and What You Know is back to producing for T.I. on the album Paper Trail, whcih he said some compare to 2Pac's Me Against The World.
Because of his sentence, the album will have about 1 year to be completed and promoted before T.I. has to go to jail for 366 days.
