Rumor: 50 Cent Leaving Interscope in 2010? Shady Records Leaving Interscope? | Musicouch
"A while ago, I wrote about how I had insider information that Interscope interfered with Relapse 2 and they told Eminem to scrap the album and recreated Relapse 2 from scratch. The insider sources said that Interscope wanted Eminem to make a more mainstream album that was completely different from his “horror themed” material. Producer and longtime friend of Eminem, Denaun Porter, denounced the rumor and said Interscope would never interfere with Eminem’s work. But Denaun Porter is a puppet who isn’t going to risk losing his job talking down to the higher up executives at Interscope, so of course he’s going to defend them. Also, when you hear that Eminem is being pushed around by Interscope, Eminem ends up looking bad. So of course Denaun Porter will downplay it. If you actually took the time to look into Interscope’s history, you would see how full of crap they really are. Ask 50 Cent if they ever tried to make him scrap his album. Ask Obie Trice if they ever forced him to make songs he didn’t want to make.
Anyways heres what insider sources at interscope are saying.
- When Eminem finishes producing the final albums to complete his contract obligations, he plans to sign a new contract with Interscope as an artist/producer. Eminem, the artist, will continue being a Aftermath/Interscope artist. But he plans for his record label Shady Records to stray away from Interscope, become independent, and release albums without Interscope being involved. Eminem is not happy with Interscope shelving all of his Shady Records artists such as Stat Quo, Bobby Creekwater, and making Obie Trice leave on him. Right now, Shady Records is a shell of itself which is why they were negotiating with Slaughterhouse to rebuild the Shady Records brand. The problem is, Eminem doesn’t want to have egg on his face again. The reason why Slaughterhouse is not signed to Shady yet is because Eminem is working on making Shady Records independent so then Interscope can’t tell Eminem which of his artists will release when. You have to remember that Crooked I, a member of Slaughterhouse, has had a bad taste in his mouth from Interscope before. Right now at Shady Records, you’ve got D12 and Eminem, but there is no one else really that important signed. The shareholders at Interscope killed all of the momentum that Shady Records use to have.
- 50 Cent is getting ready to leave Interscope. “Before I Self Destruct” was 50’s final album obligation in Interscope’s contract and now he’s ready to split. Interscope is not really showing any signs of giving 50 Cent everything he wants in a new contract. 50 Cent feels he can get a better deal going somewhere else. By leaving Interscope, 50 Cent hopes he can rebuild the GUnit brand from the ground up. With Interscope, Gunit Records had a hell of a time trying to get Interscope to give a damn about any albums coming from 50’s artists. What’s going on? Why there was never a Olivia, Spider Loc, Young Hot Rod, 40 Glocc, Nyce, M.O.P. or G-Unit Philly albums released? Outside of Banks & Yayo (who both been released from Interscope) it seems no one is on the label. 50 Cent plans to leave and take Gunit records with him.
Looks like what Allhiphop.com reported back in August 2009 is coming true.
Rumors : Hip-Hop Rumors: 50 Cent Leaving Interscope? Shyne Vs Cease & Kim: The Real Deal
“I have an insider at Interscope Records who is pretty high up on the food chain. They have told me that 50 Cent is going to be leaving Interscope. This is nothing new. We all know that 50 Cent is on the last album in his deal and seeks to re-negotiate his situation and bring G-Unit with him. Here is what he said in a recent interview with AllHipHop.com.”
I think it would be interesting to look at the timeline to see why 50 Cent might be leaving Interscope."
Yo I'm really trippin over myself right now! They're gonna break up the three headed monster!
This would definately make sense. 50's been angry with Interscope ever since the days of Curtis, and Em might very well be about losing Obie, Stat, Creek, and Shady Record's alienation.
Dre isn't going anywhere. He's staying on Interscope till the day that he dies. Plain and simple. Aftermath isn't going anywhere too, Interscope realizes that Dre and The Math are to powerful to lose.
I also highly doubt that Em will leave Interscope. He's def gonna sign again w/ Aftermath/Interscope, but I'm suprised they're gonna let Shady Records off the hook of the label. But if what this guy said is true, that would explain why SH hasn't been signed yet.
50 is definately not going to sign again w/ Interscope. And I'm starting to doubt that he'll re-sign with Aftermath or Shady for that matter. He's starting to grow subliminally annoyed with Dre's attitude to some extent, and I think if he leaves Interscope he also has to leave S/A.
I am at loss right now. We're not going to be hearing anymore: "...Shady....Aftermath.....G-g-g-g-g-unit!"
Damn.
I have no fucking clue where 50's going to go either. I mean, he can't go to Def Jam with Khaled being pres of the south and all, and other than that the only other choice would be Atlantic. But then again, would he go to where Jay-Z is?
And G-Unit and Shady are going to have to be Independent. No one in their right mind is going to sign them. Maybe Shady. Idk. Fuck.
Thoughts?
