According to thisis50.com:
According to inside sources at Interscope Records, Busta Rhymes was allegedly recently dropped from the label. Our sources indicate that the dropping of Busta Rhymes comes just days after he had a heated argument and phone conversation over his tracks with Interscope Records President, Jimmy Iovine. We will have more information as the story develops...

Just sad that Iovine has so much power over Aftermath...Where´s the "Kill Jimmy Iovine" movement at?

They disbanded and reformed to become the Kill Russell Simmons movement. :-X

Just a joke. :) Russell really is as bad as Jimmy though in all honesty.

Haha, OK. Yeah, he´s bad too, but ain´t that bad I think. Damn, Dre really should try to leave Interscope when he is finshed with "Detox". Besides the 2000era, the whole deal was just bad for him

You know, he could leave once he finishes Detox. That would be his last album tying him on to them. Maybe Jimmy is keeping him from releasing it, since Aftermath is a sub-label and all. :-\

It's a shame, As I thought Aftermath did a decent job on 'The Big Bang' album.
-
Iovine is a fucking loser for this
long as we still get "Blessed" this year, I could care less.
oh and who the fuck is this artist "The Last Emperor" I see his name a bit on here recently.
-

Underground rapper...

That track with Zach de la Rocha & KRS-One they mentioned in that article is dope. I don't know much more music from him, I think.
-
fuck Jimmy Iovine
-
no way
-
Oh shittt, yeah, will that mean this album won't drop???

yeah he's fucking up. jimmy is a snake. the last emporer is from philly. he signed wit dr. dre in late 96 and left in 98 because he didn't know dre was working on an album(chronic 2001) and didn't put him on it and other creative differences.
-
dre should have more power over his company, he should have been had a better situation then he does. He should be in jimmy iovines position. But it seems like dre and so many others are afraid to take that big step and be a real boss.
-
fuck Jimmy Iovine
-
Utube Last Emperor - One Life and Last Emperor - Secret Wars. Dope songs.
-
this is stupid
what a joke of a label
-
That's how it does when you have sold your label to a bitch ass little punk who don't give a fuck about music.
Sadly, im sure that Dre is involved in that. You know, he just have to say " I don't gonna drop detox if you do that " to Jimmy Iovine and the white bitch would just stop acting crazy.
Jimmy Iovine is like Two-Face in Batman : that time he flipped a coin to choose who he gonna drop. It was between Stat Quo and Busta.
Next one is Bishop.
-
Next one is Bishop.
Dre would kill jimmy iovine if he dropped bishop...which would be cool cuz then if dre killed jimmy he'd be like the leader of our "kill jimmy iovine movement". :P ;D
-

well all has been said so many times before, history repeats itself ;)
-
Def Jam is pretty much the best label for Busta to sign with right now anyway.

Man, Dre would just shut the fuck up. Jimmy own 80 % of Aftermath, Dre can't tell him nothin.
The reality is that Aftermath/Shady/G-Unit are finished.

na bishop is dre's future dude. hes been workin with him since day one on aftermath. and im sure dre would talk to jimmy if that ever came up, he wouldnt just do it behind dre's back.

To a certain extent, you're right. Alot of their recent projects have been disappointments. Bishop will not help them out. They need a new Dre, 50 or Eminem record to still be relevant.
-

bishop will be dropped after the first album,iovine is not that stupid.
he let release him one album just to make dre happy,after that..... BAM
-
oh well what do you expect, Fergie brings more money Than Busta, jimmy is prolly losing money with the last g unit cd, so he prolly wont accept another flop, Aftermath is Dead Detox Hype is gone, Detox is now a joke..so if its true its a good thing for busta. funny thing is that if all the artist that been drop from the label join force and drop a compilation together it would be better than anything aftermath dropped in the last 3-4 years
-
People need to understand that in that time, Dr Dre, Aftermath & Interscope don't represent no more a certain amount of quality.
When you see that Game put out better music since his departure than any release on Aftermath/Shady after The Documentary (Big Bang was a hot album too), you undertand that.
Just do the math, the G-Unit album did 100 000 for the first week, Game can do at least 250 000 first week, and I'm downgrading my sales expectations about this album, so who's know ?
Bishop is presented like the new " Dr Dre " 's sensation, after Snoop, Em, 50 & Game. I saw that :
na bishop is dre's future dude. hes been workin with him since day one on aftermath. and im sure dre would talk to jimmy if that ever came up, he wouldnt just do it behind dre's back.
Man, I already know that. But I think you're wrong. Saigon is Just Blaze future too, but he can't do nothin about him if they don't find a big track to blow him up. Same for Bishop. Keep in mind that he told in an ITW that " Grow Up " was bigger than " I Dominate ". Do you see where i'm going ? Grow Up will never blow up, and that will push back the album if it's really the 1st Single.
After that, Dre will turn his side on Bishop, cuz Dre never push a guy who can't create hype with his single.

As much as the new G-Unit releases suck these days, I think they're still profitable, that's why they keep getting released on schedule. Look at the new group album; nothing but inhouse, cheap producers (minus Swizz Beatz) and no guest apperances. They pratically had the budget of a Koch record, not to mention that 50 is still huge worldwide.
Game on the other hand drop dope music but his cds are filled with A list producers and bunch of guests and in the end he's not gonna sell much more than G-Unit.
So, from a fan point of view I'd rather see Game on Interscope but from Jimmy's point of views it's not hard to figure out why G-Unit releases keep getting released.

But Game doesnt have to pay or not pay that much for features and beats..thats what he said before DA and just recently on Hiphopdx
he said most of the tracks are done just outta the love..so its either that or just u know "a favour for a favour" which how i think it mostly is.
and i know u wont believe it but i cant see why he would lie about it..
-
That could definetly be the case for guest apperances; like Game is on Luda's and Nas's album and they are on his, sort of favor for a favor. But on the other hand, he's not on Wayne's album and he said he would even charge his sister I don't know how many dollars. And I think he pretty much has to pay for all the production. Let's not forget that this is how they feed their kids, so I doubt everybody is just dropping beats or verses for free.

yeah obviously he pays for some of them but i dont know cuz wayne and game got a tight ass relationship.
isnt Waynes so called "brother" affiliated with BWS? like that Capito dude. He said they took that Capito dude in
to Compton and whatnot and thats actually how Wayne claims his so called "blood affiliation"..cuz of that dude Capito, whos
actually younger than him lol. And he even hangs with BD (Baron D). So i think BWS and Young Money/Cash Money been good.
lol i think that was just Wayne talkin reckless. But obviously we dont know. N i think Game recorded for The Carter 3 but it
didnt make the album.
In reality what i think Game does is "a favour for a favour" and then he takes the money from the budget and put it in his pocket.
But like i said we can sit here and talk and talk but at the end of the day we dont know shit lol
