According to MTV, 50 Cent was previewing his G Unit album coming out soon for them and he went online recently to say that it was a 'dud' and isn't afraid to admit that. He admits that there were hit records on the album, but the timing was not good for their releases. He suggested that if "I Get Money" came out as the first single, that sales would have increased heavily.
Another place where 50 blames himself is the fact that he didn't build up to the release of Curtis with mixtape tracks to get the streets buzzing. He hadn't released mixtape material like this until after Curtis was released. He says that he took bad advice from Interscope.
50 revealed a track "The Party Ain't Over" featuring all the members of G Unit, which is supposed to "appeal to the inner hooligan" in us. Another track he showed was called "Down" produced by Swizz beats. Another record is called "Liar, Liar" where 50 is telling a girl everything she wants to hear when hes not completely sincere.
50 is excited about his mixtape releases coming up and is resuming taking over the streets from which he took a brief get-away. The news of 50 Cent and DJ Drama's G Unit Gangsta Grillz is coming out on the mixtape circuit to help G Unit get back on the top once more. He goes on to say that creating music hasn't been a problem because everyone was hard working in the studio.
On this album, they have to only come hard on one verse so they ended up writing 3 different verses and using the best ones. Interesting technique, definitely be looking forward to the new G Unit projects dropping soon!

REMY MA FACING 5 TO 25 YEARS IN PRISON
The verdict is in on the Remy Ma trial, and she has been convicted of four major charges : two counts of first-degree assault, attempted coercion, and criminal possession of a weapon.
These convictions are derived from an event in '07 when Remy was fighting with a friend over $3000 cash stolen out of her purse and shot the friend. Her defense tried to make the shooting appear accidental, but the jury didn't buy the story.
She faces from 5 to 25 years in prison.

SHYNE PO GETTING RELEASED EARLY?
Word is that NY rapper Shyne Po is going to get out of jail early because of his good behavior. He has been serving a 10 year sentence at Woodbourne Correctional Facility because of the 1999 shooting in a club. Shyne was with Diddy and Jennifer Lopez at the time of the shooting. Matthew "Scar" Allen and 3 other people were hit by bullets the night of the shooting.
In 2004, Shyne signed a 3 million dollar deal with Def Jam to release his album Godfather Buried Alive. Album sales for Shyne's second release were not the best.
Even though Shyne is being released now for good behavior, he hasn't always been the best behaved inmate. In 2005, he was punished for getting in a fight with another prisoner.
T.I. MIGHT APPEAR ON THE G UNIT GANGSTA GRILLZ
Even though T.I. is under house arrest and waiting for his trial, he's been on the grind recording numerous songs, including the Lupe Fiasco - Superstar remix with Young Jeezy and T.I.
A T.I. representative said that we should expect a large number of guest appearances with Tip. With recent news surfacing about the G Unit Gangsta Grillz mixtape, it's a huge possibility that T.I. would be on a song or several songs with 50 and the Unit.
T.I.'s new single for his album Paper Trail should be coming out in the near future. Paper Trail is going to drop sometime in September.
50 CENT AND DJ DRAMA WORKING ON G UNIT GANGSTA GRILLZ
It has been confirmed that 50 Cent and DJ Drama are working together to compile a G Unit Gangsta Grillz mixtape. Drama claims that both him and 50 are monsters in the game and that this mixtape is going to turn out hot. Drama says that 50 said it's about time for G Unit to get hot in the south. A couple weeks after Elephant In The Sand dropped on ThisIs50.com, 50 Cent called up Drama and inquired about starting this new mixtape.
DJ Whoo Kid is also going to be heavily involved on the project, and Drama says we should expect some comedic skits on the mixtape as well.
50 Cent has been busy at work showing his hunger as an artist again with several mixtape releases. This upcoming mixtape just adds to the list and shows 50 Cent isn't done in the rap game yet.
