50 Cent looks set to appear on the next single from Dr. Dre’s Long Awaited ‘Detox’ Album

50 Cent has been in the lab with Dr. Dre recently, working on a new single for the ‘Detox’ album.

The collaboration was sparked after 50 posted a comment on twitter regarding his disagreements with Interscope Records and its president Jimmy Iovine. It read:

“I’m sorry to announce I will not be releasing a new album this year if we don’t get on the same page.”

Later that day he tweeted again saying:

“Ok f*ck it I’m putting the first song off my new album out tonight.”

A few hours later the single ‘Outlaw’ was released.

Shortly after the comments from 50 and the release of the new track, the artists and management met up to discuss where to go from here. This conversation ended up with 50 cent having to go and speak to Dre and it appears the two decided to write and record the next single for Dre’s album, ‘Detox’.

There is no release date for the single titled ‘Psycho’ as of yet and, knowing the relentless dragging out of the album release date it could be quite a while before we actually hear anything… If ever!

50 has also said that his album and headphones should be available from November 2011.

Jay-Z and Beyonce track to feature on Dr. Dre’s Highly Anticipated Detox LP?

Acording to an article by The Sun, there is a strong possibility that Jay-Z and Beyonce will collaborate on a track for the upcoming Detox album by Dre.

A source claimed that the verses have already been recorded and the chorus has been kept free, quite possibly for Beyonce to drop her vocal.

Jay-Z and Beyonce have worked on many collaboration projects over the years and it looks like we’re set to hear yet another epic addition to the Jigga/Queen B collaboration pack!

Detox has been reported for release in late spring but so far there has been no official confirmation.

We’ll keep you updated and let you know if/when this collaboration is confirmed.

Hip Hop titans Jay -z and Diddy are in a 2 horse race for the title of Hip Hop’s wealthiest with their nearest competitor one Dr Dre sitting over $300 Million behind the pair, as Forbes released their results .

Although to some $25 Million would be a massive fortune, to Jay-z  it is the minor sum of which causes him the irritation of sitting in second place to Diddy, with the pair storming the Forbes Hip Hop Wealthiest Artists list with Diddy reportedly sitting on a fortune of around $475 Million and Jay-z sitting hot on his heels with $450 Million, with veteran Dr Dre tailing behind with an estimated fortune of around $125 Million.

Diddys’ fortune has been mainly accredited to his successful clothing line and Bad Boy Worldwide record label although his biggest profit is said to come from his Ciroc Vodka deal.

Jays’ wealth has been mainly attributed to his Roc Nation label, fashion ventures and advertising.

It is reported that just 2 years ago Forbes determined Jay-Z’s overall wealth at around $160 Million. A reported statement of how Forbes determine their results reads - ”In order to form the list, we followed the same procedures we use to calculate the list of the world’s billionaires (released today) — valuing current holdings, looking at past earnings, leafing through financial documents and talking to a bevy of analysts, attorneys, managers and other industry players to find the nitty-gritty details. We considered only performers, which is why Hip Hop mogul Russell Simmons isn’t on this list”.

Dre might have only managed to sly his way into third spot with a mere $125 million but we think it’s hard to put a price tag on a legend of this magnitude as he has done more for the expansion of modern Hip Hop than most anyone else on the planet. The discovery of Eminem and his resolve in the decision to expose him alone speak volumes.

The top five is finished of with a joint positioning of rapper and entrepreneur 50 cent and Cash Money Co-Founder Birdman with a $100 million fortune.
