Music News:

Game dissis Eminem in new single "My Life".

Coming off his song "Game’s Pain," it’s clear the Game’s mood isn’t getting any brighter. "My Life," another track from his L.A.X. LP was leaked Wednesday night. It features Lil Wayne and showcases more of Game’s wordplay and his very vocal torment.

"All the pictures of me and Em, I burned them. So there ain’t no proof I walked through 8 Mile/ And so since it ain’t no Proof, I’ll never walk through 8 Mile/ Sometimes I think about my life with my face down/ Then I see my sons and put on my Kanye smile."

Its funny, when the beat is an Eminem sample. But hey, i guess he felt like Em dissed him for not working with him no more. But 50s his artist so...

Eminem is Back in The Studio for new Solo Album, Label confirms.

For Eminem fans, the four-year wait since the Detroit MC released his last studio album, Encore, has been painful. But according to Dr. Dre’s latest protégé, Bishop Lamont, the end of the drought could be right around the corner. “Em is excited,” Lamont said, according to an Entertainment Weekly blog report. “He’s been quiet too long, and he’s got a lot to get off his chest.”

No release date has been set yet for the album, but Em’s label confirmed that he’s in the studio at work on the album. The 35-year-old MC has been on hiatus for the past two-plus years, in part to deal with his emotions about the 2006 death of best friend and fellow D12 member Proof in a bar shooting in Detroit, but Lamont said Slim Shady is emerging from his grief.

“He went through what he had to go through, and now he’s been able to take all the pain and stress and put it out in his music.”

Speaking of Eminem...lol

Dr. Dre preps Detox album for a November/ December Release.

The wait for Detox is almost over. Dr. Dre says his long-anticipated third solo album is starting to take shape in the studio and could arrive before the end of the year.

"I’m just now — over the last couple of months — starting to feel that it’s going to be right and it’s something I can be proud of, and everybody is going to love it," says Dr. Dre (aka Andre Young). "In a perfect world, I’m shooting for a November or December release."

If that happens, it will come nine years after his six-times-platinum 2001, which was itself a long-awaited follow-up to his revered 1992 debut, The Chronic That album’s bass-fueled G Funk sound dominated rap for years and propelled Snoop Dogg to superstardom. Both albums raised the bar for hip-hop production values.

"I’ve never set out to do that," says Dre, 43. "I just make the music feel the way I want it to feel and I don’t put it out until I’m totally happy with it. Then it does what it does."

"He’s a master of crafting a complete album, which is rare these days with everything being singles-driven," Creekmur says. "We’ve been waiting on this almost a decade, and that ridiculous level of anticipation will translate saleswise. It would be on par with Lil Wayne (whose Tha Carter III recently sold 1 million copies its first week out), if not more."

Detox has been the subject of speculation since Dre first hinted at the project in 2002. He has been working on the album, which will be released on his Aftermath/Interscope Records label, on and off for four years. He says he has assembled a new crew of musicians, and the beats will be heavily driven by live drums. "We have an entirely new thing going with the drums that’s incredible, and we’re still developing that." All "the usual suspects" will make guest appearances, including Nas, Jay-Z and Lil Wayne.

As long as the wait for the upcoming album has been, Dre says it’ll be even longer before there’s another one. "I’m going to put this record out, promote it, tour and then become a hermit. I’m going to stay in the studio and produce."

But he says he isn’t interested in producing albums for established artists. Dre, who previously helped launch Eminem and 50 Cent, says his goal is to find who’s next.

"All I want to do is sit in the studio with that person for a year and try to create another masterpiece."

Its cool to hear Dre is working with the then and now hottest rappers, for a minute The Carter III was becoming the new Detox - but that came out, now its his turn.



T-Pain says he and Lil Wayne Joint project is making Progress.

‘This T-Wayne movement is getting crazy,’ Pain says on the set of album photo shoot.

We’ve had it all wrong: T-Pain isn’t actually Teddy Penderazdoun. They’re two different people … well, entities. Pain is still Pain, but Teddy P is about a foot taller and North Carolina Tar Heel blue.

Pain introduced the mascot to MTV News last week on the set of his album photo shoot. Pain’s LP Thr33 Ringz is due in September. DJ Khaled, Busta Rhymes and Pain’s partner in crime, Lil Wayne , are all present and accounted for on the record. T-Pain also told us that the project between him and Weezy is definitely taking shape.

"T-Wayne is an entity that’s just gonna take over a side of the game," Pain prophesied.

"It’s two artists that done collaborated with every artist in the industry except each other. Being that we getting together, this T-Wayne movement is getting crazy. He’s sending me blank tracks, I’m sending him blank tracks," Pain elaborated on the project. "He’s sending me tracks with hooks, I’m sending him tracks with hooks. It’s just our hectic schedules are keeping us from recording. … But we both have studios on the bus. So we take that tour bus anywhere we go — it’s a done deal."

Pain and Wayne collaborated on the next single from Tha Carter III, "Got Money," as well as the first official single from Thr33 Ringz, "Can’t Believe It."

" ‘Can’t Believe It,’ I just wanted to simplify things," he said. "Basically I got a lot of stuff on my albums that’s not that simple. I’m not getting away from the simplicity of things, it’s just basically a way to calm things down. Then I put Wayne on it and he keeps murdering tracks I’m sending him. It’s just another world, it’s unexplainable."

Pain describes the meaning of Thr33 Ringz as music being a three-ring circus with him as the ringleader.

Cant wait to hear both albums!!

Lil Wayne is Being Sued.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A musical publishing company that owns the rights to the Rolling Stones' song "Play With Fire" sued U.S. rapper Lil Wayne on Thursday, saying he released an altered version of the song without permission.

Abkco Music Inc accused Lil Wayne, his artistic collaborators and his record company, a unit of Universal Music Group, of copyright infringement and unfair competition.

The lawsuit filed in federal court in Manhattan seeks unspecified damages.

Lil Wayne's "Playing with Fire" is a clear derivative of the Rolling Stones song with the original lyrics and music altered in a recognizable way, Abkco said in its lawsuit.

In one example, the lawsuit said a lyric from the Stones song is "But don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with fire," and the Lil Wayne version has the line, "But you can't blame me if I set this stage on fire."

Representatives for Lil Wayne and Universal, owned by the French company Vivendi, were not immediately available for comment.

Abkco also said that Lil Wayne's version uses "explicit, sexist and offensive language" and could lead the public to believe the company and the Rolling Stones approved of and authorized the new version.

Lil Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter, was proclaimed rapper of the year in 2007 by The New Yorker magazine.
