Boston Rapper Sam Adams a Fraud? Nope

Apparently the rumor going around about Boston rapper Sam Adams are not true. The article which was posted on JumpTheTurnStyle.com was totally fake, and the person who wrote it had no idea what they were talking about. They are usually a very reliable source of info. All the claims about knowing several individuals representing different parties was either not true, or they were lying.

So, in short. Im sorry for putting you on blast Mr. Adams, but word travels fast. If the news had been true, I felt it was a very dishonorable move. But all truths aside, good luck with your future endeavours.

EDIT:

Apparently Adams is on a 6-city tour with BarStool Sports.

…I’m doing a 6 city college tour with Barstool Sports. We wanted a musician. I picked the most popular one I could find to get people excited. That’s why I know he’s popular. That’s why I know his Itune numbers aren’t fake.  We get enough feedback where I can tell when something big is happening. That’s why I booked Sam. He’s the biggest thing going around here. It didn’t have to be a rapper. It just turned out he was the right guy at the right time for us. This was before any of the Itunes shit hit this weekend. So for people to say his numbers are fake is a joke. I know it’s a joke because we did the research on him.

So I guess if Adams is performing in front of 6 college audiences, it is very possible for him to sell this many units. This only goes to show not to believe everything you hear, even if you think it is a credible source. Lesson Learned.

Lil Wayne’s Rebirth Leaked by Amazon

After a shipping error on Amazon, it was found that 500 Lil Wayne fans received his highly anticipated album Rebirth two months before it was actually supposed to be shipped.

The album, which has been one of the most anticipated releases since it was announced, was meant to be released in early February. Some of the fans who pre-ordered the album were able to get their copy early. Amazon sent those copies out on its previous release date, which was December 15. (WOW Amazon is dumb)

As a result, Rebirth has been posted on various websites for bootlegging purposes. Wayne has not made a comment about this incident as of yet.

Timbaland Claims To Be “Done With Hip Hop”

Super producer Timbaland, known initially for his contributions to Hip Hop, says that he’s done with the genre.

“After my last album, I know where my bread and butter is at,” explained the producer, whose latest album features contributions from pop acts such as Justin Timberlake, Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus, to MTV News. “I know 75 percent [of the people who buy my album] are women who love Timbaland and most are the women who watch Desperate Housewives and all those others. I did this research. It’s the women who watch Sex and the City, Desperate Housewives — all the real go-to-the-bar women like Timbaland, and mostly European women. It lets me know that my fanbase is mostly women and they are from all cultures. So it’s not a person who loves mostly Hip Hop. It’s a person who loves everything besides Hip Hop.”

Known for his innovative and always-evolving sound, Tim says that it’s not only the almighty dollar that’s driven him to this decision – he’s also not impressed with the Hip Hop music of today. “I was done with hip-hop a long time ago,” he said. “Once my generation left, I left. I do it, but there’s nobody from my generation besides Jay who’s doing it. I look at Lil Wayne as being from my generation. Some people are still acceptable. Kanye is acceptable from my generation.

“It’s just not the same. By it not being the same, I kind of fade to black. I did music [on this album] that fits where I was going to in my age bracket. ‘What does Tim listen to in his car all the time?’ I love ’80s music. So how do I infuse ’80s with modern-day music? You Timbo the King, you gotta figure it out. I figured it out a couple of years ago with Nelly [Furtado] and Justin and myself. We had a tremendous run. I think it was good for me to do it that, because some people would say ‘Tim is cold.’ The same people who smile in my face would be the same ones to talk behind my back. But I got this run, I’m not gonna stop until I wanna stop.”

As for Timbaland’s immediate musical future, the producer says that if the success of his latest LP, Shock Value 2, is anywhere close to the first, he’ll release a third for free.

Game Feels Sorry For 50

Game recently talked about 50 Cent’s new “Before I Self Destruct” album and it’s first-week sales. Referencing his recent freestyle diss of Suge Knight, Game talked about not name-dropping the G-Unit general. “I don’t apologize for sh*t, all I did was a freestyle,” he explained in an interview. “If anybody takes it to the heart like they gotta do something about it, then just do that…D*mn, did I say something about everyone but 50? F*ck. I am almost done with 50 Cent shots, I mean at this point, he is shooting himself. I mean for a guy to sell 10 million records his first time out and then to come back out and do 160,000 in the first week three albums later is a catastrophe.”

Game continued by saying he pities 50. “I really feel for him at this point. If he needs my help, then I will help him out and say his name a couple more times to help him float. I really feel bad about his first week, and I just want him to feel better about himself. Tell 50, there’s always the next album.”

50 Tells Everyone What He’s Learned

Esquire Magazine features a “What I’ve Learned” page each month where a celebrity fills in the blanks to pre-written words and statements. In this months issue, 50 Cent sat down to explain why the best hip-hop artist in the world is white, why studios were scared of him because he’d been shot, why Jay-Z is as safe as a politician, and more.

In related news, 50 Cent appeared on the Howard Stern show yesterday (December 9th) where he discussed everything from his financial status to his sexual escapades. Although he avoided certain questions, he did say he could easily physically beat up Jay-Z and Kanye West. The forty-five plus minute interview even featured the G-Unit general showing off his acting skills by crying on demand, make sure you listen to it all!

ESQUIRE – 50 CENT – “WHAT IVE LEARNED”

It’s Fifty, not Fiddy.

My mom chose the lifestyle because she didn’t choose welfare. Every time I seen her, it felt like Christmas. Everything that was nice in my life was gone when she left, and the only people I saw that had nice things were people from the lifestyle. And they’d look at me and go, Why you look like that? Why your shoes run-down?

What led my mom into the lifestyle that got her killed was what led me into the lifestyle: to prevent needing things so much.

If I’d had a choice, I would’ve been a college kid. I would’ve majored in business.

Sometimes you do need to convince yourself through convincing others.

I never saw drug use as a good option. I’d rather have an additional ten dollars than smoke. It wasn’t a decision to not smoke weed. It was a decision to hustle. It was a business decision.

Hustling was my internship.

Being shot defines how strong I am. It prepares you for the confusion of being an artist.

The adrenaline doesn’t allow the bullets to hurt as much as being afraid hurts.

Columbia Records shied away from me. They were afraid of someone who would actually come from the real shit. You know what happens right after you assess me being shot? You go, Wow, so he’s really down there with the people who will just shoot you nine times? Will they shoot me, too? Why sell 50 when we can sell Kanye?

There’s people who are considered intelligent who are idiots.

People who raise their hands deserve to be ahead of people who don’t.

Money is freedom. Money is a private plane. Money is no metal detection.

I sign autographs because there will be a moment when no one asks me to.

Don’t wait for them to tell you. Tell them.

There are too many entrepreneurs. We need the worker to make the process function properly.

The first time I felt rich was when I had $80,000 inside my house. I saw it as a means to more money.

Money is not going to make you happy. A new idea is what makes you happy.

When I got shot, it was a $5,000 exchange. The price of a life is cheap.

Obama takes away the excuses.

The best businessmen in the world make a bad deal sometimes. And it’s not usually in a boardroom. Most of them marry the wrong woman. That business deal is the worst business deal of all.

All the women have contributed to my success. Every one.

In my house, Carmelo Anthony is bigger than 50 Cent.

My son is more important to me than I am to him.

Always have bail money.

Curtis Jackson. I identify with the name. When I look in the mirror, I see Curtis.

Am I an honest man? I’m a selectively honest man.

Am I being honest right now? Yeah. Most people would answer that question with a yes. Even the liars.

Jay-Z is as politically correct as some of the politicians. He’s safe. There’s points when you’re acquiring financing, you make adjustments. He’s made those adjustments. It’s his choice. For me, it’s not a necessity.

When you’re safe, people start walking on the stage because they feel safe with you. People don’t walk on the stage at my shows.

Air Jordan. Tiger Woods. You know how a person is made for something? Eminem is made for hip-hop. The best rapper is a white man.

My music is a soundtrack. The film is my life. My music matches things I’ve experienced or felt. Even if the whole thing is made up.

When you get hurt as bad as I got hurt, the idea of hurting someone as bad as they hurt you is no longer out of the question.

Depression is a luxury I still can’t afford.

I like generals. I like Napoleon. I like strategy. The majority of them are praised for mass destruction, but it’s exciting to see how it comes to the mind mentally.

Is Charles Manson a serial killer? No, he isn’t, because he ain’t do no killing. He’s a coward. He was just crazy enough to influence people to kill for him. There were a lot of Charles Mansons in my neighborhood. There were no Napoleons.

Hip-hop is arrogant because people are arrogant.

Rap artists are like fighters. They don’t need a coach to call them champ for them to believe it.

You need a respectable opponent, but you don’t have to respect ‘em. In the end you’re gonna finish ‘em anyway, right?

Rakim Explains Album’s Long Delay

Legendary rapper Rakim recently had his new comeback album “The Seventh Seal” hit stores after a very long delay and now the rap veteran is talking about why it took him so long to get his third solo project on the shelves. According to Rakim, part of the long delay was due to him taking on the role of CEO in addition to being the artist.

“It’s hard to tell because when I came back from Cali, after the Dre situation, I tried to keep working, I just wanted to keep busy,” Rakim says. “I got a little studio in the crib so I stay working. But once I sort of zeroed in on the topic, The Seventh Seal topic, it was probably three years. At the same time, it wasn’t just working on the album, I was trying to get my business and everything together. I got my own label, I got the album coming out on my label so you know, trying to wear two hats. An artist and CEO, I usually take a long time with my albums anyway, but, this here took extra time trying to get the business situated.”
