Game On Hot 97 (Audio) Link Fixed!! - February 28, 2005 By : SGV
 Here it is! Game on Hot 97 with Angie Martinez. A female fan calls up and has it out with Game. This is nuts, Rap beef is out of control.
They say all promotion is good promotion, so lets see what this does to Game's sales and 50's sales when his album drops in March. In my personal opinion (not Dubcnn.com's opinion), it seems like Game and 50 both have big heads of their own.
Aight, no more of my insight on this "beef." Here it is on MP3 Format. Shouts to Demics and Lil Jay for the hook up!

50 Cent Says The Game Is Off G-Unit?! - February 28, 2005 By : Nima
 Wow, after weeks and weeks of speculation about this apparent beef between 50 Cent and The Game, and 50 taking sublminal shots at Game in various interviews, it looks like the situation finally escalated.
According to many different internet forums, 50 is on 105.1 radio in New York right now talking about The Game. Here is a post by "Money In Da Bank" from the SOHH.com Forums:
"It's true, heard Power 105.1 with Ed Lover, and he had 50, Yayo & Olivia as guests. What 50 said was that Game is not with the group no more, because after coming back from overseas, he came back as a different person with a different attitude. 50 was talkin' how Game was more focused on dissin' Bleek and Jay and not focused on the label. 50 even admitted that Game is a rapper, not a songwriter (hint: 50 wrote his lyrics) and also gave him the cuts for Westside Story, How We Do, Higher, & Hate It or Love It. Ed asked 50, "So what happened, you and Game are in a shoving contest?" 50 responds, "He's the one who put his elbows out first. You know why Game sells? 'Cause they all knew that 50 Cent would be on the album. I won't be affiliated with him no more. His next album will probably sell 500 k cause of me. I gave him the ball and he ran with it, and now he ain't down with us."
Here is another post:
"when ed lover asked him what the situation is with game, and how is he as far as g-unit goes and 50 responed " he's across the street, around the corner, also said that he;s done as far as g-unit and that there will be no mending between them,,,he went on to say that the game is too inconsistent, he spoke about how he started beef with joe budden and then took pics with him @ a club in nyc...same situation with memph in miami..he said he say;s things and then ends up taking them back... so it looks like 2005 is gonna be a Big and messy year in HipHop..cant wait to seee what happens"
50 even went as far as saying that if Dr. Dre sides with Game instead of siding with him in this, he would drop a double album, fullfil his contract, and cut all ties with Interscope!
Apparently, The Game is now simoultaneously on Hot 97 talking to Angie Martinez about the situation. If anybody was able to record the show and has audio of any of the interview, please email me.
It will be interesting to see Dr. Dre's take on all this. Stay tuned!Discuss This Topic

Common - Be (Basement Elevation) - February 23, 2005 By : SGV
 Grammy award winning artist Common is often referred to as one of the most thoughtful and gifted lyricists in hip-hop.
His impressive music career began twelve years ago with the release of his debut album, Can I Borrow a Dollar? That effort was praised for its down-to-earth vibe and intelligent rhymes, but the unapologetic middle-class sensibilities conveyed on Common's second album, 1994's Resurrection, which yielded the hip-hop classic "I Used to Love H.E.R.," earned him the respect enjoyed by kindred spirits such as A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul.
Following the release of his deeply introspective third album, 1997's One Day It'll All Make Sense, which addressed serious issues like family planning, Common relocated to New York to heighten his visibility and become more involved in the music industry. Common unleashed 2000's noticeably more musical Like Water for Chocolate. The album was a versatile mix of gravity, sardonic humor and soulful hip-hop beats that spawned the Grammy-nominated single, "The Light." Like Water for Chocolate also signaled Common's emergence as a member of the Soulquarians-a collective of musicians that includes Roots drummer Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson, beat-maker Jay Dee and keyboardist James Poyser, among others-which reconvened to produce the bulk of 2002's Electric Circus. Circus, Common's fifth album was anchored by an uncommon and refreshing air of open-mindedness, both musically and lyrically. The album included the hit single "Come Close" featuring Mary J. Blige.
Common has been keeping busy since the release of Electric Circus. In 2003, he received a Grammy Award for "Love of My Life," a duet with Erykah Badu from the Brown Sugar soundtrack. His appearance on "Why (Remix)" with Jadakiss, Anthony Hamilton, Styles P., & Nas, garnered him a 2004 Vibe Award for Coolest Collabo. Common left fans hungry for more after he performed "Food" with Kanye West on the Chappelle Show earlier this year. The wait is almost over. Common is currently in the studio working on his new album, BE, with producer Kanye West. BE is scheduled for a May 2005 release

Infamous Times-Vol I: The Original 50 Cent - February 23, 2005 By : SGV
"The story of the legend who inspired the biggest name in rap."
On March 8, 2005, Vision Plant Pictures, in association with Czar Entertainment, will release The Infamous Times - Volume I: The Original 50 Cent on DVD to eager home entertainment audiences everywhere. A powerful music-driven video magazine chronicling the nation’s most reputed street figures, notorious neighborhoods and the alluring frills of the fast life, this explicit exposé goes behind the stereotypes typically associated with legendary hustlers to uncover the true tales of pain and betrayal that all too often destroys their lives and, most times, finds them dead or in jail. Volume one of The Infamous Times has already shipped platinum to major retail outlets throughout the U.S. and is on pace to quickly become one of the best selling urban DVD’s to date.
Running 120 minutes, the main feature of this landmark series tells the true story of Kelvin “50 Cent” Martin, a cold-blooded crook who, armed with an arsenal of weapons, robbed, killed and extorted many of Brooklyn’s biggest hustlers at the height of New York’s brutal crack cocaine epidemic and from whom the multi-platinum rap superstar, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, borrowed his moniker. This is the true story of the legend who inspired the biggest name in rap.
Hosted by venerated columnist, actor and convicted felon, Bonz Malone, the subject matter echoes the insight, candid perspective and journalistic intensity of esteemed investigative programs like Dateline NBC and 20/20. Likewise, The Infamous Times is poised to be one of the preeminent urban DVD series of the decade, revolutionizing the genre with its blend of in depth coverage accompanied by a hard-driving soundtrack. Superbly helmed by pioneering video director, Froi Cuesta and the brainchild of acclaimed music impresario, Jimmy Henchmen, along with entertainment industry veterans, Tone Boots and Griff, the series aims to enlighten “at-risk” youth on the hazards of street life as it contrasts the glamorization of criminal behavior that is all too common in rap music and mainstream film and television nowadays.
“We’re taking them all to task…politicians, parents, the young generation,” says series co-creator Tone Boots, who is also the Producer of MTV’s Direct Effect. “This story is very dear and close to me because I knew the original Fifty-Cent,” adds Jimmy Henchmen, the project’s Executive Producer and manager of platinum recording artists such as The Game (Aftermath/G-Unit), Mario Winans (Bad Boy) and Black Rob (Bad Boy). “I’m honored to tell a story like this that influenced the biggest name in rap as we know it today.”
In addition to the true story of the original 50 Cent featured in The “G” Chronicle segment of the DVD, the Danger Zone profiles the Brownsville section of Brooklyn and uncovers the influx of the LA-based ‘Bloods’ street gang that has besieged the neighborhood’s housing projects. In the Paper Dolls segment of The Infamous Times their cameras go behind-the-scenes of one of the most popular gentlemen’s clubs in the country, Sue’s Rendezvous – made famous in the lyrics of many rap artists over the past few years. Also, the DVD’s bonus content includes an exclusive interview with Jimmy Henchmen; a profile on celebrity jewelers from Manhattan’s famed ‘Diamond District;’ and a photo gallery featuring the work of award winning photographer Jamel Shabazz – author of the celebrated photo essay, Back in the Days.

BIG SNOOP DOGG VIDEO INTERVIEW UP! - February 22, 2005 By : Nima & Yash
 Yes sir, you read correct! We done did it again! Last saturday, myself, Yash & the big homie Lil Jay had the chance to hook up with Bigg Snoop Dogg after his show in Cologne, Germany, with The Game opening up for him. We have all of this on video, yes sir, a Snoop Dogg video interview!
Time was limited, but I believe the most important questions that have been very requested by the fans were answered. Yash had his "Free Tray Deee" shirt on, so you know Snoop had to speak on the Tray Deee/Eastsidaz situation. He also talked about the 213 and why it wasn't promoted well, his relationship with Dr. Dre and how he's still pushing for that Break Up To Make Up album. He also answered my question about working with producers like Battlecat, Meech Wells & Fredwreck again, and hooking back up with his old people such as Bad Azz and others. His answer to Jay's question, wether he will be going back to his Gangsta style, G-Funk, will probably anger alot of you... But hey, that's how he feels!
Highlights are him announcing that The Lady Of Rage is back in the studio, and his statement on Kurupt is very interesting too. We were pleased to see that Snoop is up on his internet game, and knew all about DubCNN already.
This is not all that's coming though, in a few days we will have some exclusive video footage from the show up for those who weren't there, and we also conducted a video interview with Soopafly, who answered alot of questions.
And in addition to all that, we also have an exclusive video interview with Snoop's 213 buddy Warren G coming. Matter of fact, we have TWO Warren G video interviews completed, yes sir!

The Game "West Coast Resurrection" 03/05 - February 17, 2005 By : Nima
 JT THE BIGGA FIGGA & GET LOW RECORDS SET TO RELEASE THE GAME 'WEST COAST RESURRECTION' (By: Betsy Bolte)
(Los Angeles, CA.) JT The Bigga Figga's Get Low Records announces the
upcoming release of The Game's 'West Coast Resurrection' on March 29, 2005. The album features previously unreleased material recorded in the bay area with JT The Bigga Figga.
JT the artist-CEO traveled from his Bay Area base to attend a hip-hop
conference featuring Russell Simmons and Minister Louis Farrakhan and was inspired by some of the personal and professional lessons he learned at the event. But JT was most impressed by an up-and-coming rapper he met there. The rapper's name: The Game.
"He caught my attention," JT recalls of the superstar rapper now signed to Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment. "His style was not like a normal West Coast style. It was more like an East Coast style with a West Coast look and West Coast lyrics. He sounded like a bunch of famous people. I knew if the right amount of money was behind him that he would definitely become a star. I told him I could bring him to the Bay and go ahead and knock out an album -- really as much material as possible. I told him, 'All I want claim to is the songs that me and you do. Whatever you do on your own after that, it's on you. Get your money, cousin.'"
As they say, game recognize game, so The Game agreed to JT's terms and
recorded approximately 30 songs with JT. Some of those songs are featured on The Game's 'West Coast Resurrection'.
Fans of The Game's major label debut, 2005's platinum-plus 'The
Documentary', will be able to trace the Compton rapper's evolution with 'West Coast Resurrection'. "You can hear early stages of The Game," JT explains. "You can hear a little bit of his development all the way through the album. You can hear the youngness in his voice, but you can still hear the hunger and still see the style."
The first song The Game and JT recorded together was "The Streetz of
Compton," a stellar remake of DJ Quik's classic "Born and Raised in
Compton." Another one of their early recordings was "Blacksox," a thumping song that also features JT and Bluechip.
"When you listen to that particular track, that's him finding his identity and it stands out because it's the rookie card," JT says of "Blacksox." "It represents The Game's essence coming into this rap game. That is the resurrection of the West Coast, because he's the shining star of the West and everybody's taking their hat off to him for the West."
Now, with The Game's 'West Coast Resurrection' ready to hit the streets, JT The Bigga Figga has positioned himself as an artist and executive with a keen ear for emerging talent.
"I want to be known as the guy that you can come to when you want to get your jumpstart," JT says. "If you're dope, let's throw it out there and see what we can do."
The Game did it. Who's next?

KDay - Power 106 Rivalry? - February 17, 2005 By : Nima
The homie Toon from DPG Recordz asked me to post this message for ya'll, it is concerning the recent relaunch of KDay (93.5) and the reaction to that by Power 106 & The Beat. Check it out:
"Before I explain, get this straight: I'm riding for Julio G. That's my dogg; I don't think he'll ever know how much he helped me, but if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be working with Daz and the DPGz today. So you can understand why I have to post this info.
Let me start by mentioning for those that don't know that the return of GOOD RADIO is on in Southern California! LA radio listeners were shocked and thrilled to learn that JULIO G and KDAY returned to the airwaves a couple of months ago (tune in at 93.5). Not surprising, however, was the reaction of rival stations Power and The Beat. After years of commercialized programming that only played music from the highest bidder, both stations have been trying desperately to copy the format, going as far as to alter programming to mirror that of KDAY, but to no avail.
And then this happened... Power 106 as a station (and specific DJ's such as Felli Fel and the wacc-ass Goodfellaz), have apparently issued private statements to artists as follows: "If any artist records radio promos for Julio G or grants KDAY on-air radio interviews, that artist's records will be immediately removed from Power 106 rotation."
Regardless of my personal opinions of Power (and The Beat), their DJ's, or the music they play, this is absolutely a bitch move. So from today onward, my dial doesn't even HAVE 105.9 on it. F**k a goodfella, f**k a steve harvey.

Exclusive: Daz "Do U Think About" VIDEO! - February 14, 2005 By : Nima
 Thanks to Daz and Toon for hooking this up, Dubcnn brings you the new video to Daz single "Do U Think About Me", off of his new "Dogg Pound Gangsta LP".
You can download it in QuickTime format below, play it with either Windows Media Player or QuickTime Player. The video is funny, although it's low budget, staying true to the independent release of the CD. Look for his big budget video to his So So Def single in a few months.

Whats crackin its F Sharp back with another update. I attended the NAMM audio trade show in Anaheim back in January and had the chance to check out new musical and audio equipment from lots of different companies. Of course attending the largest audio trade show in the world means seeing lots of musicians and performers as well. Caught up with lots of different West Coast artists like DJ Revolution, King Tech, Da Riffs, B-Real, and Fredwreck among others. Here are some pics from the show
