Shady Records and G-Unit's places in Hip Hop history are still being written, but to date the two companies have helped to make stars out of Obie Trice, D12, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, The Game, Slaughterhouse, Tony Yayo, Kidd Kidd and Yelawolf.
Of course Eminem was instrumental in helping to launch 50 Cent's career towards superstardom when he and Dr. Dre signed the South Jamaica, Queens, New York emcee to a record deal in 2002. From that point on it's been a wrap for the competition.
Here's some nice throwback footage of Slim Shady and 50 freestyling. There's also a short clip of a bullet-proof vested 50 Cent and Tony Yayo performing the classic song "Life's on the Line."

"They both was mad, so I just stepped in. If y'all got problems handle that on your own time.Because it's a million cameras in here. The way these blogs are gonna put it.

"I always knew 50 Cent. I be wanting people to understand that," he continued. "Even if that was 50 Cent and Ross about to fight I would have got in the middle. Y'all not gonna fight while I'm right here. I know both of y'all. Y'all got me in the middle of this. That mean y'all don't got no respect for me. 50 a cool guy. He cool on my end.

Anticipation is starting to build as we inch closer to the release of the film The Frozen Ground. The movie is based on real life serial killer Robert Hansen (played by John Cusack), who murdered 17-21 women in Alaska between 1980-1983.
Vanessa Hudgens plays the role of Cindy Paulsen, a prostitute who is the only known victim to have escaped from an encounter with Hansen.
Detective Jack Halcombe (Nicolas Cage) needs Paulsen's help to track down Hansen.
50 Cent plays the role of Paulsen's pimp, Clate Johnson.
The Showbiz 411 caught up with Hudgens at Wednesday's London premiere of the film to talk about her pole dancing scene in the film. Check out what she had to say and take a look at a few photos from the event.

Owning a sports franchise can be quite lucrative. Depending on attendance, merchandise sales, TV deals and other factors, owners can rake in millions of dollars a year.
Forbes has put together a list of the top 50 most valuable sports teams. Lets take a look at the top 15.
#1 Real Madrid
Value: $3.3 billion
Owner: Club members
Los Merengues finished runner-up this year in La Liga and the Copa del Ray, but nab the title of the world's most valuable sports team thanks to the highest revenues in sports ($650 million during the 2011-12 season). Real inked new deals with Adidas and Emirates Airlines over the last 12 months that will bring in roughly $80 million combined annually.
#2 Manchester United
Value: $3.165 billion
Owner: Glazer family
Manager Alex Ferguson retired this year after leading United to its record 20th league title. Sir Alex was at the helm for 27 years and helped create one of the most valuable brands in sports. The team's record shirt sponsorship deal with General Motors for the automaker's Chevrolet brand kicks off in 2014-15 and is worth $559 million over seven years.
#3 Barcelona
Value: $2.6 billion
Owner: Club members
Barca added 21-year-old Brazilian star Neymar (above) in June in a transfer deal worth $74 million. Barcelona's jersey sponsorship deal with Qatar Sports Investments is worth an average of $38 million a year through the 2015-16 season.
#4 New York Yankees
Value: $2.3 billion
Owner: Steinbrenner Family
The Yankees sold part of their interest in the YES Network in connection with Fox's purchase of 49% of the regional sport network in late 2012. The team's rights fee from YES will increase from $85 million this season to $350 million in 2042 as part of the deal.
#5 Dallas Cowboys
Value: $2.1 billion
Owner: Jerry Jones
The Cowboys have been the NFL's most valuable team since 2007 thanks to the league's highest sponsorship and premium seating revenues--a combined $200 million. The 'Boys inked QB Tony Romo to a six-year, $108 million contract extension in March despite only one playoff win during his eight years under center.
#6 New England Patriots
Value: $1.635 billion
Owner: Robert Kraft
The Patriots have sold out every game at Gillette Stadium since it opened in 2002 and have more than 60,000 people on a waiting list for season tickets.

#7 Los Angeles Dodgers
Value: $1.615 billion
Owner: Guggenheim Baseball
The Dodgers are close to finalizing a 25-year deal with Time Warner Cable worth as much as $8.5 billion. The deal would kick off next season. The Dodgers opening day payroll in 2012 was $105 million, but this year's is over $200 million thanks to a flurry of trades, contract extensions and free agent signings.
#8 Washington Redskins
Value: $1.6 billion
Owner: Daniel Snyder
The team traded three first-round draft picks and a second-round choice to the Rams last year in order to select Robert Griffin III (above) with the second overall pick in the 2012 draft. Griffin delivered by leading the 'Skins to their first division title since 1999. His jersey set a single season record for most sales on NFLShop.com.
#9 New York Giants
Value: $1.468 billion
Owners: John Mara, Steven Tisch
The team did not increase ticket prices in 2012, despite heavy demand for tickets following a second Super Bowl title in five years. MetLife is paying more than $425 million over 25 years for naming rights to stadium the Giants share with the Jets.
#10 Arsenal
Value: $1.326 billion
Owner: Stan Kroenke
The Gunners had matchday revenue of $149 million during the 2011-12 season, the third-highest in soccer, due to capacity crowds at 60,400-seat Emirates Stadium.
#11 Boston Red Sox
Value: $1.312 billion
Owners: John Henry, Thomas Werner

#12 Bayern Munich
Value: $1.309 billion
Owner: Club members

#13 Houston Texans
Value: $1.305 billion
Owner: Robert McNair
The Texans are one of the NFL's most profitable teams thanks to 200 luxury suites and 8,900 club seats that generate $47 million annually. The team also possesses the NFL's second biggest stadium naming rights deal, which is worth $300 million over 30 years from Reliant Energy.
#14 New York Jets
Value: $1.284 billion
Owner: Robert Wood Johnson IV
The Jets' one-year Tim Tebow experiment was a disaster as the team finished with a 6-10 record and GM Mike Tannenbaum was fired. The Jets cut prices by as much as 52% last year on 12,000 upper-deck seats to help boost demand.
#15 Philadelphia Eagles
Value: $1.26 billion
Owner: Jeffrey Lurie
The Andy Reid era ended in January after 14 seasons and nine playoff appearances. The Eagles hired Chip Kelly (above) from the University of Oregon in a five-year, $32.5 million deal.

The world is anxiously awaiting the release of 50 Cent's Street King Immortal album. There is nothing the rapper would like to do more than give his fans the product, but there have been a lot of changes at Interscope and he feels they dropped the ball with his single "We Up" featuring Kendrick Lamar.
"They've had issues with the record," 50 told MTV, while speaking on "We Up." "I know it ain't my ear. Kendrick said the same thing I said when I sent it to him. 'Oh, this is a hit,' And everybody around says the same thing."
The G-Unit CEO says that everyone has to be on the same page before he releases SKI.
"I don't really need the money off of the record. I want the record to be right. I'm not doing it without a plan; I'm not putting it out like that. It's a lot of staff changes, a lot of different people moving in and moving out, so you got to kind of wait until everything's right; until it's settled in," he explained.
50 added that in the past he's had to do all of the heavy lifting on his projects.
"I've been on a team where I take the ball out and throw myself the alley-oop, and I take the ball out and shoot the three-pointer myself, and I take the ball out and I dunk the ball," he said. "But every time it's like 'come on we're on this team.' And you're all by yourself.'"
