"Power" star and executive producer 50 Cent joins Access Hollywood Live's Natalie Morales and Kit Hoover to talk about his Starz series and share his opinion on JAY-Z's newest album, "4:44." Plus, when is 50's new album dropping? "Power" airs Sundays at 9 PM ET/PT on Starz.
Access Hollywood: I hear you didn't like JAY-Z's "4:44" album
50 Cent: I said it was good. I just thought it was too smart. Because I do think you gotta dumb down the material to fit in to what the culture's producing. Because now it's a little more melody-driven. It's not as sophisticated as it was when I first came in.
Access Hollywood: When's your album coming out?
50 Cent: It'll be the end of the year.
Access Hollywood: What is it gonna sound like?
50 Cent: It won't be as smart as the JAY-Z record. I wanna make music that people can have fun to. So you don't have to stop ... You can get it immediately without having to sit and analyze.
Access Hollywood: Are you friends with JAY-Z?
50 Cent: Yeah. I don't have a problem with him.

DMX could be facing more than four decades in prison after being charged with 14 counts of tax evasion.
TMZ reports that the 46-year old rapper, born Earl Simmons, turned himself in Thursday, July 13.
X is accused of hiding income by using the bank accounts of others and living mostly off of cash. In 2011 and 2012 the "Party Up" hit maker listed his income as "unknown," even though he reportedly made $353,000 and $542,000.
He reported income of $10,000 in 2013, but according to the feds he raked in $250,000.
DMX's total IRS debt is listed at $1.7 million, dating back to the 2000's.

Kendrick Lamar recently sat down with Dave Chappelle for a cover story chat for the August cover of Interview Magazine.
Check out an excerpt from their conversation.
DAVE CHAPPELLE: Kendrick.
KENDRICK LAMAR: Dave. What's going on, brother?
CHAPPELLE: The last time I saw you was in Australia with J. Cole—you had just performed with Eminem. A lot's happened since then.
LAMAR: Definitely. How you been?
CHAPPELLE: I've been great. I want to start by asking you about a recent scandal in the comedy world: Kathy Griffin and the picture of her holding Donald Trump's decapitated head. My question for you is not about politics, but about the content in your work. In comedy right now, the issue is, "When does a comedian go too far?" And I imagine in hip-hop that's been a long-standing debate—even when I was coming up, when Bill Clinton went after Sister Souljah. When you write, how much do you think about the repercussions of anything you might say?
LAMAR: When I look at comedy—at Richard Pryor, at you—it's all self-expression. I apply that same method to my music. I came up listening to N.W.A and Snoop. Like them, it's in me to express how I feel. You might like it or you might not, but I take that stand.
CHAPPELLE: I have this thing when I write jokes; I call it my unseen audience. I'll think of certain people when I'm writing certain types of jokes. For instance: "What would my mother say?" Who do you think about when you write? Are you thinking about the streets? A lot of your work is openly spiritual and contemplative.
LAMAR: I really focus on what my fans will take from it, people living their day-to-day lives. At the end of the day, the music isn't for me; it's for people who are going through their struggles and want to relate to someone who feels the same way they do. I've got to take Mom out of the equation. I've got to go all-in, expressing myself, right there in the moment.
CHAPPELLE: What did you think when LeBron James, after an amazing, clutch performance [in a historic, 26-point comeback win during the playoffs], was like, "I just listened to DAMN. and got amped."
LAMAR: Moments like that ... If I hadn't expressed myself in the studio, who's to say he would have been listening to the album? LeBron James or the little boy around the corner, we come from the same struggles, and it comes out of my mouth for them to relate to.
CHAPPELLE: I know you're a big Tupac fan. And Tupac used to talk about this phenomenon, as he got successful, that he was out of context. He'd say, "Where am I supposed to go? I can't be around the 'hood anymore, and they don't want me in the Hollywood Hills. Where am I supposed to go?" Have you run into any altitude sickness from your ascent, fighting all the way up to where you are now?
LAMAR: I think I'm still growing. The more people I meet, the more cultures I start to embrace, the more people I open myself up to—it's a growing process I'm excited about. But it's also a challenge for me, to be at this level and still be able to connect with somebody who's living that everyday life. At first it was something I struggled with, because everything was moving so fast. I didn't know how to digest it. The best thing I did was go back to the city of Compton, to touch the people who I grew up with and tell them the stories of the people I met around the world. Making To Pimp a Butterfly was me navigating those experiences. I went to Africa and I was like, "This is something I can enjoy and something I can challenge myself with."
CHAPPELLE: Was Africa your "Oh, shit, I made it" moment?
LAMAR: I went to South Africa—Durban, Cape Town, Johannesburg—and those were definitely the "I've arrived" shows. Outside of the money, the success, the accolades ... This is a place that we, in urban communities, never dream of. We never dream of Africa. Like, "Damn, this is the motherland." You feel it as soon as you touch down. That moment changed my whole perspective on how to convey my art.

During the first two stops on their four-city promotional run to hype their upcoming fight, Conor McGregor, has twice told Floyd Mayweather to, "Dance for me, boy."
Some observers believe Mystic Mac is just promoting the upcoming fight, while others believe he's being outright racist.
TMZ Sports caught up with Money Mayweather to get his take on the growing controversy.
"Racism still exists, but I try to turn a negative into a positive," Mayweather said. "I'm not upset at all. A lot of people say that Conor McGregor is racist but I'm not worried about that. It is what it is. He's entitled to feel how he wants to feel. I just want to stay in my zone and stay focused."
