50 Cent Takes on New Movie Role


50 Cent has landed a role in a new crime drama film called Freelancers, playing the role of a police officer, according to MTV.
Recently the rapper has been taking on more movie roles, making an obvious transition from music to film. In this upcoming film, Fiddy's character is the son of a murdered New York City cop who joins the force and discovers that he is "on a team of rogue Gotham cops."
The movie is reportedly directed by Jessy Terrero, who also helmed Soul Plane and worked with the rapper on his "Candy Shop" music video.
Fiddy also has been working on his own film production company called Cheetah Vision Films. He has previously starred in films such as 2005's Get Rich or Die Tryin' and will appear in the upcoming Things Fall Apart

New Alicia Keys Album In The Works For This Year

Sources from the Alicia Keys camp have revealed that the "Speechless" songstress is at work on a new studio album that is due out later this year.
While speaking with Rapup.com earlier this week, Keys' longtime producer Kerry "Krucial" Brothers said that he couldn't reveal much, but the singer is already in the studio.
"We do got a release coming this year, but I can't speak on it yet. Last week we was in the studio working on stuff," he told the site.
According to Krucial, the new mom has brought the same intensity to her writing as she did before the birth of her new son.
"The writing is the same. The only thing changed is the schedule. We leave earlier now. No more to-the-crack-of-dawn stuff - at least not for now," he added.
The new album will follow Alicia's smash 2009 release The Element of Freedom.
Keys has also made headlines in recent weeks after she and Jay-Z took home the Grammy for Best Rap song for their collaboration on Jigga's "Empire State of Mind."

Throwback Track of The Week

LL Cool J - Around The Way Girl
Ne-Yo recently shared his opinion on the state of voice-changing machine auto-tune and not taken full advantage of, when creating records. Ne-Yo believes auto-tune should be used to assist, not taken full advantage of, when creating records.
"Auto-tune was meant to be a safety net," Ne-Yo explained in an interview. "It was not supposed to be wings. You're not supposed to strap it on your back and jump off the building. That's not what auto-tune was meant to be. If you're using it for what it's meant for, cool, fine, and good -- not, 'I can't sing at all, so let's turn auto-tune all the way up so I just sound like Willy the Robot.' That wack! That's terrible! It takes all the character out of your voice and you become a robot --Take the d*mn training wheels off. That's how I feel about it."

Drake Defends Ditching Lil Wayne's "I Am Music 2" Tour

 
Grammy-nominated rapper/singer Drake has come forward to address his absence from Lil Wayne's "I Am Music II" tour despite co-headliners including Nicki Minaj and Rick Ross. Although speculation suggests a rift between Drizzy and Weezy, the platinum-selling artist said he needed to take a break from touring.

Last week, rumors emerged claiming Drake was leaving the Young Money label. According to a member of Young Money, Drake would like to LEAVE the label . . . and join his friend J Cole over at Jay Z's ROC NATION label. The insider explained, "Drake likes making music with [Lil Wayne] and the rest, but he's a different dude. There's a lot of hood [ish] that goes down at Young Money, and Drake's not a hood [dude], so he wants to be away from that."Drake's mother is also worried . . . She doesn't want him around gangs or drugs." 

MediaTakeOut.com learned that JAY Z is pulling strings to try and [buy] Drake's contract from Bryan "Baby" Williams - Cash Money's CEO. The insider explained, "[Jay] is playing hardball, he wants Drake and he's not trying to pay too much for him. He's moving in slowly. Right now he's working [behind the scenes] on Drake's tour. Under Drake's current deal [with Cash Money], Drake owes them records, but not tours." (Media Take Out)

However, in addition to a Drake rep's denial, he also took time to remind fans of his loyalty to Young Money.
"YMCMB for the rest of my life. Always All Days.," Drizzy tweeted Friday (February 11). (Drake's Twitter)

Rihanna Fumes Over Change Of 'S&M' Song Title

Rihanna is blasting radio stations for changing the title of her new track "S&M" to make it sound more appropriate on the radio, according to Marie Claire.
There were rumors that BBC Radio One first changed the title from "S&M" to "Come On" to make it sound less racy. This would allow the song to be played on their Sunday afternoon chart show. They also cut out words such as "sex," "chains," and "whips" from the chorus.
RiRi's record label reportedly also toned down the song so that it would be eligible to place on the commercial charts.
When the singer found out about the change she tweeted: "Are you f*cking kidding me? 'S&M' called 'Come On' now? That's BS [b*llsh*t]!"
She added that she was "absolutely not" okay with the change of the name, especially without them consulting with her first.
Radio One has said they will play the original unedited version of the song after hours, but during the day they will play the edited version.

Ty$ Featuring Joe Moses - All Star

Trey Songz is facing an $18 million lawsuit over the rights to the music on his hit song "Bottoms Up" with Nicki Minaj.
The suit, which was filed on February 2, claims that Doc Mob Records hired producer Milton James (known as Tony Scales) to produce the original copyrighted track of "Bottoms Up." The lawsuit notes that the song appears on Trey Songz's album Passion, Pain, and Pleasure without listing all the relevant producers, naming Kane Beatz as the song's sole producer.
The suit names Songz, Atlantic Records, Kodak (who used the song in an advertising campaign), Songz's manager Gee Robertson, and producer Kane Beatz, among others.
Documents filed also note that Atlantic Records and Trey Songz were sent various cease-and-desist letters by Doc Mob's Derrick Price, which they ignored.

Bruno Mars Plea Deal to Avoid Prison

Bruno Mars has taken a plea deal to avoid prosecution for his drug arrest from last year, according to CNN.
The terms of the plea have the artist agreeing to stay out of trouble for a year, receive drug counseling, complete 200 hours of community service and pay a $2,000 fine, lest he face jail time.
The "Just The Way You Are" singer was busted this past September in a Las Vegas, Nevada casino restroom for having 2.6 grams of cocaine in his front left pocket of his jeans, said police.
Initially Tess Driver, an assistant to Clark County District Attorney David Roger, was the first to confirm the terms of the agreement, when she told the Las Vegas Review-Journal newspaper on Friday, January 28.
The charges will be dropped if Mars succeeds in following through with the deal, but if he doesn't he could face prison time, said Roger.
