The Mighty G-Unit crew took over Highline Ballroom in New York City on Sunday, January 31, for 50 Cent's"Tha Kanan Tape" release party.
Kidd Kidd used the occasion to spit some bars from his Meek Mill, Gunplay and Maybach Music Group diss song.
"Fuck Meek Mill and that clique he claim / Drake could've fucked your bitch if it wasn't for Wayne / Let's play a game of truth or dare, dare you speak my name / And tell Gunplay he gon' need gun play if he gon' get his chain / I had to get me out the mud, I come from the bottom / And all this money ain't nothin' bitch I got Mac problems," Kidd rapped.
Under Armour taps Jeezy for a new song titled "Hit Um." The track in Inspired by UM spokesperson Cam Newton being named the 2015 NFL MVP during Saturday night's NFL Honors show.
"It means so much, but not just for myself,'' Newton said in a video acceptance speech for the MVP award. "To be the first person in Panthers history to win it -- that's what I'm most proud about. I've received a lot of awards, but to be able to get this organization here, I'm really proud. We didn't get in this position by happenstance. It took years of hard work and dedication, and now we are reaping the benefits."
(Thump) 2015 marked the first time in history that current music releases were outsold by "catalogue album sales"—a term that refers to any release that is at least 18 months old. To put this in context, just ten years ago current music sales outpaced catalogue music by over 150 million albums.
That information, reported by Music Business Worldwide, comes from a year-end report by Nielsen, the data company most famous for their SoundScan music-sales statistics that inform the Billboard charts. However, this data pertains solely to albums—either physical or digital—and does not include streaming. So, whether the Nielsen report shows a real declining sales trend for new artists, or merely that we've shifted away from albums entirely (the argument that young people are more inclined to stream rather than purchase music seems plausible), is shocking, though perhaps not entirely unexpected.

Faith Evans gives fans a preview of her "Faith Remakes" EP in the form of an updated version of "Fallin' In Love" off of her 1995 self-titled debut album. The EP celebrates the singer's 20th year in the business.
"Here's an early Christmas gem "Fallin' In Love" from my #Faith20 remakes EP! Stay tuned Christmas day," the singer wrote.
It's probably safe to say that Erykah Badu has been crossed off of Iggy Azalea's Christmas gift list.
Badu was the host of the 2015 Soul Train Awards on Sunday, November 29th, when she poured wet cement on the Australian rapper's head.
She kicked things off with a monologue/skit explaining why no rappers would be allowed at the event. The singer took pretend calls from Young Thug and her baby's father, Andre 3000. She explained to them that they were cool, but the night was going to be dedicated solely to R&B.
A call then came in from Iggy Azalea.
“Uh yes? Who is this? Iggy Azalea? Yeah, hey. Oh no no no no, you can come, ’cause what you doing is definitely not rap," Badu quipped.
50 Centwill release"The Kanan Tape"on Wednesday, December 9, at 12 noon via Datpiff. A music video for each song on the project is being shot. On Monday, December 2, the music icon gave fans a brief glimpse of the visuals for theSonny Digital-produced"I'm the Man," coming soon.
