As reported earlier, the album is projected to only sell around 160,000 copies by next week and will most likely miss the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200. 50 Cent believes that the low sales were caused by the album's leak and the inability of his record label to take action. "With the actual outcome of the project, once the record leaks from the international plant, what more can I do," 50 explained. "I can't, I held the record long enough to get it to them, to mix and master it and for them to ship it and then it leaks from the plant internationally, I'm like come on, then that's it. They lost the ball. You know what I mean, if the numbers look funny to me, it's they fault." Before I Self Destruct landed on shelves Tuesday (November 18). The set features appearances from Eminem, Ne-Yo and R. Kelly. 50 has enjoyed stellar first week sales since his official debut in 2003.

As reported earlier, two Molotov Cocktails were found outside the Grand Hustle offices Thursday morning.  A SWAT team was called to the office to remove the explosive devices from the scene. Nobody was harmed. Police have yet to point out a suspect but Geter believes an aspiring artist who came to the office earlier this week was behind the attack. "A kid came over there a couple of days ago that acted kind of crazy," Geter explained to MTV . "I wasn't there, but some kid that was a little off was pretty much asking for somebody to come to his party. He got a little irate when he was in the office. We're kind of assuming it was him. He made a couple of threats when he was in the office. Two days later, this happens. You can't help but say, 'It must have been this idiot.' " Despite the scare, Grand Hustle plans to keep things moving. The label will be dropping  new albums from Young Dro, 8Ball & MJG, B.O.B. and DJ Drama in 2010. "From January to springtime, those acts will be dropping," Geter divulged.

According to Channel 2 Action News, Atlanta police claim men in Fabolous’ entourage stole a rare 2008 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder. The vehicle, which was one of only two brought into the United States, was taken on January 31 and has not been seen since. Surveillance video shows two men in Fabolous’ entourage approach a bellman at the Intercontinental, received the keys to the Lamborghini and left as if it was their property. Fabolous and the rest of the group allegedly followed behind the Lamborghini in a minivan. Police investigating the theft have confirmed that Fabolous knows the men, but an attempt to subpoena the rapper to make him talk was refused by Fulton County DA Paul Howard, who offered immunity to anyone who helped find the vehicle. Meanwhile the vehicle’s owner, Eric Vargosko, is suing the Intercontinental over the loss of the Lamborghini. "The InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta has accepted responsibility for this unfortunate incident from its inception and has always been willing to provide fair and reasonable compensation for the damages caused to the vehicle by the incident," said Caroline Counihan in a statement to Channel 2. "We hold the safety, comfort and well-being of our guests and employees as our top priority and concern. We have taken several measures, including heightening security, so that a repeat of this incident does not happen."Sixshot.com info@sixshot.comhttp://www.sixshot.com/articles/15123/#commentsFri, 20 Nov 2009 03:59:15 PDT http://www.sixshot.com/articles/15121/Game recently sat down with Complex Magazine to discuss his upcoming album and 50 Cent's unwillingness to work with him. Earlier this week, 50 Cent revealed in an interview that he would never work with Game even if Dr. Dre made the request. Game divulged to Complex that he has no grudges towards his former boss and would be willing to settle their rift to work together. "Me and [50's] beef is old at this point. It’s pure comedy for me at this point. When he says something, I laugh. If I shoot a shot back it’s just a joke at this point," Game said. "Nobody is going to kill each other. Nobody is gonna beat each other’s ass. I’m not gonna do none of that. So we might as well get along. We exist in hip-hop. You know with opening arms he can re-join my band of brothers. Just say sorry and you want to make music." "He’ll never be as big as he was and he’ll never be able to put out an album that people will be waiting for and anticipate as much without me, period. And I ain’t saying that he needs me, but me and him made the best records together," the Compton rapper continued. " I understand it, he needs to understand it, and maybe one day we’ll record. [50] said  he’ll never work with Game again but that’s all him talking and his ego.  I can’t wait to mend the ties with Eminem. Me and Eminem had never been at odds but he had to take 50’s side. That’s his artist and his homie and what not, and I understood it but I’d love to get back with Eminem and work again and sort of restructure the Voltron if you will." Game also shared his opinion on 50 Cent's attempts to start a lyrical beef with Jay-Z. "Jay-Z will fuck 50 up in a battle! It would be so fast and over with. 50 is funny, but Jay is witty. Jay-Z is not to be toyed with. If he fuckin’ responds, if he feels like you’re really pissing him off and he responds, he’s gonna fuck you up! He would fuck me up, I’m just glad he didn’t fuckin’ respond, so I didn’t have to go dig in my fuckin’ bag and try to fuck him up," Game said. " I definitely think that Jay-Z didn’t come at me like he came at any other rappers because I definitely would have been more disrespectful and once you start a beef with me you better be ready to go the whole motherfuckin’ 12 rounds because I will try to chew your fuckin’ ear off like Mike Tyson. I’ll do it and I think he knew that—I’m disrespectful. So Jay, he did the right thing and just kinda let it die down and I let it die down ’cause it wasn’t anything really. It was fuckin’ fun and I really admire Jay’s career. I just really don’t care too much for the man himself." Game is currently gearing up to release his latest effort titled The R.E.D Album  The set is slated for an early 2010 release. " I got Rick Ross. I got Beanie Sigel, I got Jeezy. I finally did a song with Jeezy that’s fuckin’ crazy too," Game revealed. "For the most part it’s me, with a couple of features from people I haven’t worked with yet—I always try to work with new people every album. But it’s people that I respect and that are also poppin’ in the world and that other people want to hear."Sixshot.com info@sixshot.comhttp://www.sixshot.com/articles/15121/#commentsThu, 19 Nov 2009 14:09:28 PDT http://www.sixshot.com/articles/15120/Atlanta police have revealed that two Molotov Cocktails were found outside T.I.'s Grand Hustle offices today (November 19).

Molina punched Hilton in the eye outside a Toronto nightclub in June.  The incident was caused after Hilton and Black Eyed Peas rapper will.i.am got into an argument over the blogger's criticism of the group's latest album, The E.N.D. According to The Toronto Star, Molina was ordered not to have any contact with Hilton and not to carry any weapons. He was also ordered to donate $500 to charity and to stay at least 100 metres away from the nightclub where the incident occurred. Molina wrote a letter of apology to Hilton which the judge accepted but Hilton has stated that the letter is 'not good enough remedy'. Hilton has also filed a $25,000 civil suit against Molina.Sixshot.com info@sixshot.comhttp://www.sixshot.com/articles/15103/#commentsWed, 18 Nov 2009 08:48:00 PDT
