lol......wow....the industry is crazy....thats all i can say is wow

but fuck music right now....im on my movie shit lol

i thought someone hacked your page lol

it wont be koch, i hear warner and 50 are close to eachother

a few people did.....that was the idea behind it tho

unit flopped

the dudes were smart pushing game's album back

50 doesn't need a label.
He has enough money to do whatever the fuck he wants.
If I was him, I would just retire after Before I Self Destruct

whatever the fuck ever

im sure yayo and banks aint mad at the situation, at least they aint broke in the hood still

its still in the top 10 after 2 weeks, so it isnt a flop, it just didnt meet expectations

jimmy aint gonna fuck with 50 either

so someone did hack your page and draw smiliey faces all over you then you decided to run with the plan

I think we all saw the G Unit belly flop album comming a long time ago. It's only news to 50 who seems to think he's invincible.
Wayne kind of suprised me, only because I didnt think his following would buy as much as bootleg.

charts are screwed up
