I posted this in Outbound, but might as well drop this news in here since this is pretty big news, but there are rumors going around that Interscope is cleaning house and trimming down the roster to concentrate on "core" artists. These are the rumored names of people that might be dropped from the Interscope umbrella:
Spider Loc
Mobb Deep
MOP
Tony Yayo
Olivia
Marsha from Floetry
There were other artists mentioned (such as Busta Rhymes and many of the artists on Shady Records), however I don't believe this part, especially with Eminem just dropping the "Re-up" compilation and Busta being back in the studio. Supposedly Interscope is reshifting their priorities and slimming down some of the "flops", which kinda makes sense on their part. If it's true, Spider must feel like a jackass for getting G-Unit tattoo'd on him.
-
if interscope wanted to cut down i think they would cut down on others than g-unit, shady and aftermath.. dont they got many others there?
-
al qaeda needs to fly a plane into the interscope offices
-
al qaeda needs to fly a plane into the interscope offices
I would love that!
-
i wonder what'll become of these artists
hopefully Busta Rhymes is still on the label
-
I doubt they will get rid of Busta even tho his album jus went gold but in today's new climate thats actually good numbers......Marsha they barely signed her and hasnt even dropped an album yet dont see it happenin but the rest of them i can see bein let go

damn, Jimmy "Interscope" Iovine really taking it to Shady/G-Unit...something else I just thought about, you think this is Dre's way of apologizing to Game for allowing 50 to stay and moving Game under the Geffin umbrella? Remember, it was Eminem that convinved Dre to sign 50, it wasn't like dre was doing back flips and signing 50 immediately

There is no proof that any of this is actually true.

say what y'all want but if this was to be true, it would be a great move, face it, most those niggaz on gunit and shady records are garbage, some on aftermath need to be let loose to give dre his time and space to make detox to........only thing i disagree with is if busta is gettin dropped...........would be ironice so soon after him defending game and spittin on doctors advocate.....truth is right now, geffen are clowning interscope, they got the two biggest westcoast artisit and in the last 2 weeks nearly sold a million records between themselves in the states alone

Basicly those are all gunit guys. I dont see why Bsta would be dropped and i dont think he wuld he is a vet and has sold a lot of records. Youll tell me Mobb depp and mop are vets yea they are but they havent sold as many records or have the potential and respect busta still has in the rap game among the vets and the young cats on the come up.

Thats right!! G-Unit is crumblin little by little...thats wutz up.

sounds like bs

you think this is Dre's way of apologizing to Game for allowing 50 to stay and moving Game under the Geffin umbrella? Remember, it was Eminem that convinved Dre to sign 50, it wasn't like dre was doing back flips and signing 50 immediately
man wtf are you talking about?
-
This rumor sounds possible. After all, label deals are given to successful artists as a perk and another business income stream. If the umbrella label loses money from these ventures, it wouldn't be implausible for these sub-labels to get dropped.
There's no loyalty in this game. Jimmy dropped Death Row like a bad cold the minute it stopped pushing units (even though Death Row made Interscope in the first place).
-
Is spider even officially on interscope?
-
Is spider even officially on interscope?
i was asking myself the same question.........i thought that g-unit artist were to signed to just g-unit(except for banks,and buck)
-
Where's the main source of where ya heard dis shit. ;D
-
there is no source ...........thats why its called a rumor
-
Is spider even officially on interscope?
No. And neither is M.O.P. and I'm not positive Olivia is, either. If it came only outta Game's mouth, you know you can't trust it.
But come on, now, is there any muh'fucka on this forum who really believed most of those people (ESPECIALLY Spider Loc) were gonna be releasing albums on G-Unit/Interscope? Crooked I is gonna drop before Spider ever does. Even if this is a rumor, it's a redundant rumor cause it describes what we should all know is inevitable.
-
we'll soon find out the truth i can guarantee that.
-
sounds like bs but it would make sence,they see game pushin units while gunit and whoever else they plan on droppin from interscope aint makin money for them.just look at banks album,hasnt even gone gold and they dropped game who sold more in 1 week than banks has alltogether.
-
If Spider did get dropped from G-Unit, it would be the funniest thing ever in the histroy of all things funny.
He's gonna have to put a big ass "LA" to cover that G-Unit tat.

or some sort of crab....
-
There is no proof that any of this is actually true.
it would be funny though
Mobb Deep, MOP are as washed up as can be
Spider Loc can't even pass for a rapper and Tony Yayo is an embarassment
wouldn't blame them if they dropped all these no-talents
-
Mobb deep should just sign to koch or some shit and have havoc produce the whole record...just goin back to their roots...but prodigy's wack ass really needs to step up...he still sounds like he's rappin while being on coma.
-
i believe it, i can try n find out more, i get messages from almost all the members of BWS.
like that's a reliable source, those dudes are biased as fuck.
This all sounds funny, but it also sounds like bullshit on the other hand.
-
there is no source ...........thats why its called a rumor
goofy mufucka
rumors had to start somewhere,,,,,
-
ok spider loc aint on Interscope roster, or on gunit roster on the interscope website. 50, lloyd, mobb, olivia, yayo and yb, are all g unit/interscope.
-
If Spider did get dropped from G-Unit, it would be the funniest thing ever in the histroy of all things funny.
He's gonna have to put a big ass "LA" to cover that G-Unit tat.
You mean like Game turned it into GUnot :D
I doubt this is true, Ill be more than happy if they drop Olivia and Spider, who are realistically never gonna drop an album.

Anyone who has seen "Stop Snitchin', Stop Lyin'" knows that the G-Unot tattoo wasn't no G-Unit tattoo, you can see on the DVD when he gets the tat.
Oh and Bishop Lamont indicated in a interview or sumtin a couple of days ago that Aftermath were departing from Interscope, so this could be true.
Mobb Deep, Olivia, Tony Yayo, Banks, Ma$e & M.O.P are ALL washed up and boring, they will _NEVER_ move units again, believe that.
The only nigga in G-Unit that survived Game's attack on them is 50, Buck will flop even though his shit is hot (that's why his album got pushed back 4 months after releasing two singles, Game did that "Olivia Shit" to him, which is kill him and his whole project so he had to go back to the studio and rewrite that bullshit he just spit lol!.

Have you got that interview????
-
If you guys remember the news posted on www.Aftermathmusic.com recently, I mentioned that there will be some possable "changes" happening with The Math. I wasn't aloud to elaberate on that but since rumors are already starting to surface, I'll give a little insight.
According to someone I know on the inside, there's talk about Interscope "cleaning house" due to the loss of money they suffered from recently. I can't reveal who I spoke to and there's no source, so treat everything I post here as a RUMOR. "Rumor" has it, that Interscope will drop G-Unit Records and Shady Records from thier distribution deal and strictly focus on Aftermath like they did back in the day. There's even talk from insiders that a couple more artists will soon be dropped from The Math. So basically Interscope is saying "fuck the g-unit/shady labels we're just gonna stick with Aftermath".
Here are some specifics on the Aftermath artists besides Dre to the "rumor"...
Eminem: His loyaltee to Dre is as strong as it was from the begining and he still sells... so he's staying.
50 Cent: He still sells so he's satyin' with Aftermath, but he may leave as soon as his contract is up.
Bishop Lamont: He's the next star. He's Dre next "partner in crime". He's Dre's new Snoop/Eminem.
Joell Ortiz: He's brand new to the mainstreem, but Dre and Jimmy love him and are keeping him.
Stat Quo: His fate is uncertain 'cause Interscope and Dre want to use Stat to bring thier label to the South, but they don't know if he'll stay or just do an album or two. It all depends on "Statlanta" and it's lead single.
Busta Rhymes: Busta may leave the label as a mutual positive agreement between him Dre and Jimmy.
Eve: Some people are saying that she's already dropped, and if she hasn't, then "Here I Am" may be her only album with the Aftermath logo on it.
G.A.G.E: He may be dropped soon as well unless he can build up a respectful street buzz real soon.
Raekwon & Dion: No news on them... my contact didn't mention them.
...so basically, if this "talk" turns out to be true... then the only artists that are confirmed to remain on Aftermath going into next year is:
Dr. Dre (off course)
Eminem (off course)
50 Cent
Bishop Lamont (off course)
Joell Ortiz
...and he told me they recently signed an R&B chick named Tiffany.
-
"Bishop Lamont: He's the next star. He's Dre next "partner in crime". He's Dre's new Snoop/Eminem"
I will go ahead and vouch for that one.... I have a video with Bishop that I am dropping shortly where he brings up his strong status with Dre and Aftermath...
-
Joell Ortiz: He's brand new to the mainstreem, but Dre and Jimmy love him and are keeping him.
This fag will never release an album on Aftermath.
-

props looking forward to seeing this.

Thanks... I will let you know as soon as its done.

- becuase we all know Game is trust worthy
-M.O.P. and Banks washed up ? Ha ha
- survived Games attack ? What attack exactly. So far Banks and Mobb Deep flopped. Mobb Deep would have a hard time selling anywhere and Banks flopped becuase he didnt do shit to promote himself. Banks, Obie, Busta all flopped becuase they thought that the name Shady/GUnit/Aftermath will maek them go plat automatically. Anotzher thing about Banks is that its obivus that the onyl reason he went plat is becuase of 50s hype. Just like Buck, Yayo and Game did. Game did slightly better numbers but still 2x less then previous because he hustled hard till release date and he was more interesting in publics eye, because of the whole Dre, 50 thing. If he'd stay on GUnit/Aftermath he'd flop too.

Here's a pic I took of Bishop with Damizza and Producer Dae One that night...

-
Thanks... I will let you know as soon as its done.
Cool always good to hear news on Bishop. Can't wait to hear his album think hes gonna have a big future.
Like detox is not not coming said alot of artists depend of the Aftermath, Gunit or Shady logo to sell. And it takes more than that to sell records.
I think Bustas records got fucked over a bit at Interscope with the constant push backs then that wack single which was a shame becuase I think some of Busta records of the Big Bang could've done well.
-
there is no source ...........thats why its called a rumor
goofy mufucka
rumors had to start somewhere,,,,,
so if i told you that detox will secretly be released tomorrow,you would believe me? would that make me a source? just because i made something up?

lol.. Deathrow has more credibility then BWS these days. What were they thinking? How could 50 cent be in the hole 32 million from the 3 g-unit flops, if all 3 albums had very little promotion, and all 3 albums sold around 1 million combined. WOW. I'm sure every major release that sells less 200,000 albums, costs the label 32 million dollars. BWS is a joke.

i'm not disagreeing with you.. but it's easy for anyone to be in the hole 32 million..
it's called 'advances'..
"50 bought it for me, but its still mine" - Young Buck..
If 50 advances money to start up G-Unit, G-Unit West, G-Unit South etc to pay his artists, then he could go into a hole if they don't return profit..
being a rapper isn't like a job where you get paid every two weeks, most rappers live off advances from thier labels in hopes to return profit.. (a classic example would be 2pac's Death Row record deal). Right now, you got niggaz like Spider Loc, Olivia and MOP spending their 'advance' money and not giving anything back. lol
Record label advance money from thier parent companies all the time. So if 50 gets a loan from interscope to start up g-unit and the only success he has is Game's album (which he had to split the profits with Dre) and Banks first album then he could easily be owning money. Remember, 50 Cent's deal is through Shady/Aftermath, so you know his money is getting splitted up with Dre and Eminem... It's funny b/c he brags about Dre and him splitting Game's money when he's in the same type of record contract lol.

speaking the truth homie
but.........50 cent didnt split the money with dre.......dre gave 50 a percentage of profits(thats if game was even signed to g-unit)
-
I agree with you, but theirs no way G-Unit lost money. Bussiness standards, the albums are not flopping. Interscope may not be making alot of profit, but after 2.5 million from Banks 2 albums, 1.5 from Buck, 3 million from Beg for Mercy, 500,000 for tony, 400,000 for Mobb deep. Those are good numbers for less then star artists. G-Unit clothing, every artist touring. Shit.. I'm not trying to sound like a groupie, but literally, G-Unit is one of the biggest money making groups in the bussiness. And its all thanks to 50 cent, em and dre.

Exactly. Dont forget GRODT Ost that went 2x plat
-
actually, numbers do lie.
jay z could sell a gold album, if it consistted og 10 tracks of him taking a shhit, all acappella.
his name sells the records not the music

32 Million in the hole? i dunno about that.... ::)

Banks = 1.5 Million (first time around, worldwide)
Banks = 270.000 (second time around, off the charts right now)
Buck = 1.1 Million (first time around, worldwide)
Buck = TBA (project pushed back several times, last time 3 months)
Tony Yayo = 400.000 (fell of the charts at 400,000, nowhere near 500.000 like you said)
Mobb Deep = 200.000 (the biggest G-Unit flop so far)
Please stop making numbers up, yes G-Unit used to sell alot of record for about 2-3 years, but as of right now they are not selling more than any other label, matter of fact they ain't even in the top 10.

Banks, Obie, Busta all flopped becuase they thought that the name Shady/GUnit/Aftermath will maek them go plat automatically. Anotzher thing about Banks is that its obivus that the onyl reason he went plat is becuase of 50s hype. Just like Buck, Yayo and Game did. Game did slightly better numbers but still 2x less then previous because he hustled hard till release date and he was more interesting in publics eye, because of the whole Dre, 50 thing. If he'd stay on GUnit/Aftermath he'd flop too.
People ain't checking for Aftermath/G-Unit/Shady no more cuz their shit is old with the same corny hooks and sound, they used to be big when they brought that new hype shit to the table but right now they are as washed up as a label can be.
Add wack rappers (Spider Loc, M.O.P, Ma$e, Hot Rod, Tony Yayo e.t.c) to those wack beats & hooks and u'll have a hot plate of flop.

Anotzher thing about Banks is that its obivus that the onyl reason he went plat is becuase of 50s hype. Just like Buck, Yayo and Game did. Game did slightly better numbers but still 2x less then previous because he hustled hard till release date and he was more interesting in publics eye, because of the whole Dre, 50 thing. If he'd stay on GUnit/Aftermath he'd flop too.
People ain't checking for Aftermath/G-Unit/Shady no more cuz their shit is old with the same corny hooks and sound, they used to be big when they brought that new hype shit to the table but right now they are as washed up as a label can be.
Add wack rappers (Spider Loc, M.O.P, Ma$e, Hot Rod, Tony Yayo e.t.c) to those wack beats & hooks and u'll have a hot plate of flop.
Same old shit ? Obie Trices and Lloyd Bankss 2nd albums were completley different than their 1st ones so we can cross that one out. Bucks said his 2nd album is completley different than his frist with different producers and guest features. 50 already said his 3rd album gonna have a different sound that the 1st 2, inspired by old soul joints. Bustas "Big Bang" was probably the ebst commercial album of 2006, unless Nas tops him.
Mase and Spider Loc arent signed to GUnit so we can cross that one out too. Again a big lol at M.O.P. being wack. Have no idea how Hot Rod is since he hasnt released anything yet. Yayo aint a lyrically monster but hes definetly not the wackest out there.
And again at calling flops on Banks and Mobb Deep. Its gonna take years before another label do numbers like they did.
Just out of curiousity, who do you listen to, since you have such a spesifc taste from comemrcial rappers ?

I agree with you, but theirs no way G-Unit lost money. Bussiness standards, the albums are not flopping. Interscope may not be making alot of profit, but after 2.5 million from Banks 2 albums, 1.5 from Buck, 3 million from Beg for Mercy, 500,000 for tony, 400,000 for Mobb deep. Those are good numbers for less then star artists. G-Unit clothing, every artist touring. Shit.. I'm not trying to sound like a groupie, but literally, G-Unit is one of the biggest money making groups in the bussiness. And its all thanks to 50 cent, em and dre.
Banks = 1.5 Million (first time around, worldwide) he went 1.5 plat in USA, I dunno how much he did worldwide.
Banks = 270.000 (second time around, off the charts right now)
Buck = 1.1 Million (first time around, worldwide) same as Banks
Buck = TBA (project pushed back several times, last time 3 months) it was pushed back once by himself, becuase all of the projects dropping on interscope right now
Tony Yayo = 400.000 (fell of the charts at 400,000, nowhere near 500.000 like you said) U.S. Sales: 670,758 Worldwide sales: 889,112 RIAA Certifcation: Gold
Mobb Deep = 200.000 (the biggest G-Unit flop so far) Mobb Deep wouldnt sell anywhere right now.
Please stop making numbers up, yes G-Unit used to sell alot of record for about 2-3 years, but as of right now they are not selling more than any other label, matter of fact they ain't even in the top 10.
GUnit records is doint normal numbers for rap records right now. And were only talking about 2 projects.
-
Detox is not not coming... do you work for gunit? ;)
-
Yayo aint a lyrically monster but hes definetly not the wackest out there.
:loser:
-
There's a whole lot of rumors flying around who's gonna get dropped. A lot of 'em are about G-Unit, but we'll see. I'm not taking guesses.
But if they would get dropped, you know that would shake something up.

dont know how reliable thiis is as there is no real quotes

G-Unit Not Dropped From Interscope
By Remmie Fresh
Date: 12/5/2006 9:15 am
Recent rumors have swirled that G-Unit Records might be dropped from the Interscope Records roster, but a representative from the label flatly denied that such gossip was true.
While nothing is certain, the rumors appear to originate from a recent appearance by 50 Cent on Shade 45 with DJ Whoo Kid. In the interview, the pair and others outwardly joke and offer opinions on rappers like Nas, Fat Joe, Jay-Z and The Game.
In the interview, which aired last week, 50 Cent said, "Everybody looks and they think 'Well you can't tell me what to do.' [The Game] played them. None of them sell any records. Look at Nas: 'Hip-Hop is Dead' is the same single [sample] off his last album. That right there is feasting."
He also charged that he was making 25% of The Game's current CD, Doctor's Advocate. A rep for Interscope refused to confirm such information.
Oher insiders suggest that the rumors stem from a down-turn in album sales for the G-Unit brand, which typically sells into the millions..
Despite artistic acclaim, Mobb Deep sold moderate units of Blood Money, which peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Top 200 and No. 1 on the R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart.
The G-Unit debut sold over 100,000 copies during its first week in May 2006 and has since been certified gold (500,000).
Lloyd Banks, another popular G-Unit artist, sold 143,000 of Rotten Apple in his first week, a considerable decline from the 433,000 copies of his 2004 debut The Hunger for More.
The album debuted at No. 3 on Billboard's Top 200 chart. The album also took the #1 spot on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. By week four, Banks had sold about 234,000 copies of the album, which is approaching 500,000 units sold.
Others charge that internet postings are the source of the false information.
In 2007, listeners can expect releases from Young Buck, as well as G-Unit founder 50 Cent. In the interview with Shade 45, 50 Cent said that he was 90% finished his upcoming album, titled Before I Self Destruct.

Yours numbers are wrong. Get a source before you talk out your ass man. AND WORLDWIDE sales are not tracked by RIAA, so they are impossible to get. Banks sold 1.5 million in the US. And my point still stands buddy, my numbers (more accurate, look it up on RIAA) are only off by a few 100,000. Game groupies are idiots, and you follow the trend nicely. I guess you believe Game sold 4 million worldwide. lol
A good estimate is to double the US sales to get the worldwide. But since worldwide sales aren't tracked by billboard, soundscan, RIAA, and don't earn you gold/plat awards, I ask you... How do you know the world wide sales?
-
AND WORLDWIDE sales are not tracked by RIAA, so they are impossible to get.
Not true. The United World Chart tracks sales for albums world wide.

Obviously something tracks them. But can I write now find the sales for any album I want?

Err... If it is currently on the UWC then yes you can track it's sales. I'd assume there is some source that keeps an archived data of numbers past.

Mobb Deep went gold ?
-
I think the whole riaa is confusing for alot of people. Mobb Deep has to be around 250,000 to 300,000 sold in the U.S. but they probably have shipped 500,000 units of the album to be sold. RIAA tracks albums shipped. That is why LL Cool J is gold with his last one but he has only sold around 250k. Ice Cube was certified gold a few months back but as of last week he sold 491k so by this week or next he will have officially sold 500,000 copies. Record label may ship 700,000 or like Koch ship 250,000 at a time.

If Spider did get dropped from G-Unit, it would be the funniest thing ever in the histroy of all things funny.
He's gonna have to put a big ass "LA" to cover that G-Unit tat.
You mean like Game turned it into GUnot :D
I doubt this is true, Ill be more than happy if they drop Olivia and Spider, who are realistically never gonna drop an album.
Anyone who has seen "Stop Snitchin', Stop Lyin'" knows that the G-Unot tattoo wasn't no G-Unit tattoo, you can see on the DVD when he gets the tat.
Oh and Bishop Lamont indicated in a interview or sumtin a couple of days ago that Aftermath were departing from Interscope, so this could be true.
Mobb Deep, Olivia, Tony Yayo, Banks, Ma$e & M.O.P are ALL washed up and boring, they will _NEVER_ move units again, believe that.
The only nigga in G-Unit that survived Game's attack on them is 50, Buck will flop even though his shit is hot (that's why his album got pushed back 4 months after releasing two singles, Game did that "Olivia Shit" to him, which is kill him and his whole project so he had to go back to the studio and rewrite that bullshit he just spit lol!.
- becuase we all know Game is trust worthy
-M.O.P. and Banks washed up ? Ha ha
- survived Games attack ? What attack exactly. So far Banks and Mobb Deep flopped. Mobb Deep would have a hard time selling anywhere and Banks flopped becuase he didnt do shit to promote himself.

Just out of curiousity, who do you listen to, since you have such a spesifc taste from comemrcial rappers ?
Aftermath/G-Unit/Shady are done, they ain't a powerhouse no more they are just one of the many hiphop labels out there right now, with the exception for 3 superstars (Dre, 50 & Feminem) that may do OK numbers but nothing close to what they have done before.
As for what I listen to when it comes to hiphop, it isn't much. The niggaz I listen to right now, as far as commercial rappers, are: 50 Cent, Young Buck, Game, Nas, 2pac, Snoop Dogg, Lupe Fiasco.
The 50 & Buck stuff I listen to is the old shit they did, from 1999-2004...Everything after that (except GRODT OST.) has been more or less wack/boring, so I'm hoping for a comeback from both 2007 with some fresh material, since most G-Unit releases have been shit and they are going the wrong way with their music.

well.. theres 2 rumors.
1. is g-unit dropped from the label
2. are there particular artists dropped from g-unit
if you really look at record labels, they are just a brand and publishing rights with a distribution deal. g-unit could 'always' be around.
the main thing is 'advance' money. Jimmy Iovine may not want to advance anymore money to G-Unit. That will cause 50 to drop some of the leaches of the label.. I'm pretty sure that Em, 50, Dre, and Jimmy thought that the G-Unit brand will automatically guarantee platinum sales for anyone who was down with them. Unfortunately, it hasn't.
