D12 & G-Unit Collaboration Is on the Way
UPDATE: Out of nowhere, Kidd Kidd spilled the beans on G-Unit’s collaboration with D12. He pretty much confirmed Eminem will take part to it, too, and claimed that he “kilt DAT s***” and “Eminem mite need to rewrite his verse lol.” Of course, Kidd Kidd faced some backlash as many thought he is suggesting he is better than the Rap God, but he quickly addressed his comments. He paid homage to Em and explained he hasn’t heard anyone’s verse, but knows that his part is a great one. View his tweets in the gallery at the foot of the article. It is yet to be determined whether the double posse cut will land on the Dirty Dozen upcoming mixtape or third studio album. Sep 30th, 2015 About a month ago, D12 made a major update on their impending third studio album which has been in the works for a couple of years now. The members explained the project is almost complete and will drop “when the time is right.” In addition, Bizarre, Kuniva and Swifty McVay were spotted hanging out with Eminem in the studio, meaning the Shady Records boss will be part of the record, too. Taking to Instagram yesterday, Bizarre hinted at a super collaboration, which will most probably land on the LP. He posted a photo of himself in the studio with the caption, “Working on this d12 g unit record .. We coming!!” The Dirty Dozen uniting with Guerilla Unit? That sounds more than exciting. Meanwhile, DJ Whoo Kid published an in-studio snap with a photo frame of Eminem on the equipment. He picked the caption, “#ComingSoon #Detroit,” alluding to the very same potential collaboration. This one can’t come out soon enough!
First Week Sales: Fetty Wap’s Self-Titled Debut Album

With HDD’s Building Album Sales chart currently at 57%, we can monitor its performance on the list in advance.For now, Fetty Wap has pushed 43,212 pure units, claiming spot #3. The chart is topped by Don Henley’s Cass County (46,767 units) and the runner-up is George Strait’s Cold Beer Conversation (45,738). As you can see, the numbers are pretty close and there is a battle for the pole position.

Were Young Thug’s Producers & Kid Ink Watching Gay Adult Movies in the Studio?
This is getting out of control. Young Thug’s controversial image and provokative style sense have been topic of numerous discussions and even though people continue to label him gay, he continues to claim he is not a member of the LGBT community. In the meantime, TSR put their hands on an Instagram video which has the potential to go viral on the blogosphere. According to the caption picked by the shadiest outlet on social media, the footage features “what looks like #YoungThug’s producer and other ‘rapper’ friends (all tagged in the video) allegedly watching gay porn.” SEE ALSO: YOUNG THUG: “90% OF MY CLOTHES ARE WOMEN’S” We dug a little deeper (no put intended) and found the video was originally posted by producer Beatmonster Marc three weeks ago. Underneath the flick, he tagged fellow producers and frequent Young Thug collaborators Wheezy and London on Da Track, along with Kid Ink. Still, we cannot confirm whether any of them were in the studio during the projection. Beatmonster Marc took notice of TSR’s post and wrote on Instagram, “@theshaderoominc gotta take this down they tripping stoled the video off a n**** s***.”
