Video After The Jump

The tension between Young Dolph and Yo Gotti has reached a boiling point.

On Wednesday, March 16, Paper Route Empire boss, Young Dolph. released several Instagram videos taking shots at his Memphis counterpart. The captions said it all.

"First thang first everybody kno it's u HO GOTTI, dats sendin your artist out to say da lame shit he been sayin and doin ..LOL(lame)... I GUESS U STILL MAD CAUSE I DIDN'T NEVER SIGN WIT YO PUSSY ASS.. Or is u still in your feelings cause u fail out wit Gucci Mane and u was mad at me cause I kept rockin wit Gucci," Dolph wrote. "Sound like a lotta BITCH SHIT TO ME.. How u do all dat HATIN on me, then go put da police on me.. shit sad... U CAME IN DA GAME HATIN ON 3-6 Mafia, NOW U HATIN ON DOLPH(smh) WWF ass nixxa‼️ #iTriedToSpareYourPUSSYass #YouDidItToYourself #TalkForYourselfBITCH #YourArtistNeverMetMEinHisLife #FakestRapperInTheGameGoToHoGotti smh.

currently on da eway in one of my foreign's dat I got off da SHOWROOM floor wit 0 mileage... And I got HO' GOTTI first 3 record deals on my wrist," he continued. HO GOTTI boy u faker than them fake ass watches @fakewatchbusta been bustin u with! (BUSTED)... U one of da first ones they busted..... You say u a REAL nixxa too much to be wearing fake ice bra.. Take dat monkey shit off u embarrassing us‼️ smh.... #FakestRapperInTheGameGoesToHoGotti #TalkForYourselfBITCH."

This has been bubbling under the surface for a while now. There are reports that Gotti hasn't been happy with Dolph since the rapper turned down his offer to join Collective Music Group several years ago.

12352047081?profile=original

Dolph recently dropped an album titled "King of Memphis" on the same day Gotti released "The Art of Hustle." The King of Memphis title has belonged to Gotti for a while now.

Earlier this month CMG artist, Blac Youngsta, pulled up in South Memphis with guns and goons looking for Dolph.

Hopefully this can be squashed before it escalates any further.

Video After The Jump

The story of Yo Gotti artist, Blac Youngsta's, run-in with police after a Wells Fargo bank employee allegedly called the cops following his $200,000 withdrawal has taken an even stranger turn.

As we previously reported, Black, real name Sam Benson, said Atlanta police detained him on January 8, put a gun to his head and confiscated half of the $200,000 he had to find out if it was legitimate.

12351908697?profile=original

The Collective Music Group artist said he had $1.3 million in the bank and once his story checked out he was apologized to and released.

"I went in there and got $200,000 out of my account. I come out the bank... I see the police. I'm walking to my car [and] I see one of the pointing to my bag like, 'him'" Youngsta told 11 Alive. “They come bum rushing me at the car, put me on the ground, putting guns to my head, so I’m like ‘What I’d do?' A lady was like I’m not supposed to have…$200,000 on me. I’m like, ‘I’m a millionaire. How can I not have $200,000 on me?’"

According to Benson, the mix up began when he was mistaken for someone who had cashed a bogus check at the location.

"I was finna go buy me a vehicle," he explained. "They got the new Mercedes Benz out, you know like the Maybach. I was finna go get one. I was about to go buy one, cash. Buy they just made me so mad I might go buy me a Ferrari right now. I feel aggressive. I feel fast.. [Bank employees] couldn't believe that I was young, black, handsome and I was getting $200,000 out. I had my Rolex on with all the diamonds in it. On my rich folks stuff. The thing is, I'm a rapper. How I live my life I don't believe in checks. I don't want to go to the car lot with no check. My dream I always dreamed about was going in the bank getting a half a million out and taking the car lot a half a million and putting it on the desk like, 'give me that Ghost right there.' Where I come from we don't believe in taking checks to the car lot. It's still legit. This the check right here."

The Atlanta Police Department and Wells Fargo are now disputing the story.

11 Alive reports that they were told by Atlanta Police Sgt. Warren Pickard that police were called to the bank because a man named Charles Darnell Edward was suspected of cashing a $24,000 bogus check.

Benson happened to be at the bank when they arrived and during the initial confusion, he was temporarily detained until police positively identified the suspect.

12351909271?profile=original

Pickard added that Benson had $70,000 in cash on him, but it wasn't his money. The funds reportedly belonged to his manager who withdrew the money from his account.

Wells Fargo released the following statement:

Mr. Benson is not an account holder with us. He did not enter our store nor did he make any withdrawals.

A fraudulent incident did occur in the store so in the best interest of our customer, we reported it to law enforcement right away and as a result, a suspect was apprehended and the customer was not the victim of fraud. Mr. Benson was not a party to the fraudulent incident.

We’re confident that our description of the suspect was appropriate. It is documented in the police report. We encourage you to review it.

Who do you believe in this confusing story?

LONDON (Reuters) – "Recovery," the new album from rapper Eminem, could not be more aptly named for a music business facing an alarming fall in sales so far this year. The Detroit star's seventh studio album hits shelves on Monday, a day earlier than planned after tracks leaked on to the Internet. It comes about a week after the release of Canadian artist Drake's debut "Thank Me Later," which is also expected to perform strongly.

But the duo are unlikely to lift the gloom hanging over the music business for long, with year-to-date U.S. physical and digital album sales by early June down 11 percent year-on-year to 130.6 million, extending a decade-long decline.

To make matters worse, the recent boom in touring, which labels and bands sought to exploit as recorded music faded, is showing signs of weakness caused by high ticket prices and economic uncertainty, and digital download growth is slowing.

Official figures for the key U.S. market as it approaches mid-year show how tough conditions are for music companies and acts who blame illegal file sharing for their woes.

According to Nielsen Soundscan, which tracks sales, 4.98 million albums were sold in the week ending May 30, possibly the lowest figure since the early 1970s. By comparison, the record one-week tally set in December 2000 was 45.4 million.

Analysts put the low figure down to a weak lineup during that particular week, and Drake's record is forecast to be one of the largest launches of the year so far while Eminem, another "tentpole" album, follows hot on its heels.

CDs STILL CRUCIAL

Yet while major and independent labels are pinning their future on digital music, whether it is access models or actual ownership, they can ill afford to abandon physical sales which account for somewhere in the region of 70 percent of revenues.

"The physical format is in decline, but I don't think it will go away completely," said Ed Christman, who tracks music sales for industry publication Billboard.

"What you want to do, since the digital 'magical bullet' hasn't appeared, is to sustain your revenue from CD sales for as long as you can."

Although relatively small in terms of a label's revenues, digital streaming, downloading, online subscriptions and advertising are seen as key to the industry's future.

"The revenue is still small, but at least it's revenue," said one major label executive. "Don't forget, some 95 percent of the digital market is illegal. If we can grow that five percent significantly, we've got a future."

That task is proving slow going, and while a recent report from PricewaterhouseCoopers predicts that the music industry will return to growth in 2013, some analysts are less sure.

"Given the incredible number of ways a person can now listen to music for free or near free, that gap between interest and willingness to pay is the biggest hurdle in record labels' quest to grow digital revenues," Billboard said of the report.

In the short term, all eyes will be on Eminem, one of the world's best-selling artists of the last decade who has said in interviews to promote Recovery that he is over his prescription drug addiction, is sober and more tolerant than he used to be.

Whether the "nice guy" image appeals to fans is unclear.

Early reaction to the album, out on Universal Music Group's Interscope label, has been mixed.

London's Evening Standard was among the most positive with a four-star review that concluded: "After seven albums, Eminem is so far ahead of the pack he only has himself to compete with. Even by that measurement, he's winning."

The Independent was less glowing, stating: "If we're being brutally frank, I think we already know far more about Eminem's private life and his alleged mental torment than is probably healthy for us, let alone the rapper himself."

London Times Online Reports ‘The greatest fear people have is that of being themselves. They want to be 50 Cent or someone else. They do what everyone else does even if it doesn’t fit where and who they are. But you get nowhere that way; your energy is weak and no one pays attention to you. You’re running away from the one thing that you own—what makes you different. I lost that fear. And once I felt the power that I had by showing the world I didn’t care about being like other people, I could never go back.’ 50 Cent 1. See Things for What They Are - Intense Realism Reality can be rather harsh. Your days are numbered. It takes constant effort to carve a place for yourself in this ruthlessly competitive world and hold on to it. People can be treacherous. They bring endless battles into your life. Your task is to resist the temptation to wish it were all different; instead you must fearlessly accept these circumstances, even embrace them. By focusing your attention on what is going on around you, you will gain a sharp appreciation for what makes some people advance and others fall behind. By seeing through people’s manipulations, you can turn them around. The firmer your grasp on reality, the more power you will have to alter it for your purposes. 2. Make Everything Your Own - Self-Reliance When you work for others, you are at their mercy. They own your work; they own you. Your creative spirit is squashed. What keeps you in such positions is a fear of having to sink or swim on your own. Instead you should have a greater fear of what will happen to you if you remain dependent on others for power. Your goal in every manoeuvre in life must be ownership, working the corner for yourself. When it is yours, it is yours to lose - you are more motivated, more creative, more alive. The ultimate power in life is to be completely self-reliant, completely yourself. 3. Turn Shit into Sugar - Opportunism Every negative situation contains the possibility for something positive, an opportunity. It is how you look at it that matters. Your lack of resources can be an advantage, forcing you to be more inventive with the little that you have. Losing a battle can allow you to frame yourself as the sympathetic underdog. Do not let fears make you wait for a better moment or become conservative. If there are circumstances you cannot control, make the best of them. It is the ultimate alchemy to transform all such negatives into advantages and power. 4. Keep Moving - Calculated Momentum In the present there is constant change and so much we cannot control. If you try to micromanage it all, you lose even greater control in the long run. The answer is to let go and move with the chaos that presents itself to you - from within it, you will find endless opportunities that elude most people. don’t give others the chance to pin you down; keep moving and changing your appearances to fit the environment. if you encounter walls or boundaries, slip around them. do not let anything disrupt your flow. 5. Know When to Be Bad - Aggression You will always find yourself among the aggressive and the passive aggressive who seek to harm you in some way. You must get over any general fears you have of confronting people or you will find it extremely difficult to assert yourself in the face of those who are more cunning and ruthless. Before it is too late you must master the art of knowing when and how to be bad - using deception, manipulation, and outright force at the appropriate moments. Everyone operates with a flexible morality when it comes to their self-interest—you are simply making this more conscious and effective. 6. Lead from the Front - Authority In any group, the person on top consciously or unconsciously sets the tone. If leaders are fearful, hesitant to take any risks, or overly concerned for their ego and reputation, then this invariably filters its way through the entire group and makes effective action impossible. Complaining and haranguing people to work harder has a counterproductive effect. You must adopt the opposite style: imbue your troops with the proper spirit through your actions, not words. They see you working harder than anyone, holding yourself to the highest standards, taking risks with confidence, and making tough decisions. This inspires and binds the group together. In these democratic times, you must practice what you preach. 7. Know Your Environment from the Inside Out - Connection Most people think first of what they want to express or make, then find the audience for their idea. You must work the opposite angle, thinking first of the public. You need to keep your focus on their changing needs, the trends that are washing through them. Beginning with their demand, you create the appropriate supply. Do not be afraid of people’s criticisms - without such feedback your work will be too personal and delusional. You must maintain as close a relationship to your environment as possible, getting an inside “feel” for what is happening around you. Never lose touch with your base. 8. Respect the Process - Mastery The fools in life want things fast and easy — money, success, attention. Boredom is their great enemy and fear. Whatever they manage to get slips through their hands as fast as it comes in. You, on the other hand, want to outlast your rivals. You are building the foundation for something that can continue to expand. To make this happen, you will have to serve an apprenticeship. You must learn early on to endure the hours of practice and drudgery, knowing that in the end all of that time will translate into a higher pleasure—mastery of a craft and of yourself. Your goal is to reach the ultimate skill level—an intuitive feel for what must come next. 9. Push Beyond Your Limits - Self-Belief Your sense of who you are will determine your actions and what you end up getting in life. If you see your reach as limited, that you are mostly helpless in the face of so many difficulties, that it is best to keep your ambitions low, then you will receive the little that you expect. Knowing this dynamic, you must train yourself for the opposite—ask for more, aim high, and believe that you are destined for something great. Your sense of self-worth comes from you alone—never the opinion of others. With a rising confidence in your abilities, you will take risks that will increase your chances of success. People follow those who know where they are going, so cultivate an air of certainty and boldness. 10. Confront Your Mortality - The Sublime In the face of our inevitable mortality we can do one of two things. We can attempt to avoid the thought at all costs, clinging to the illusion that we have all the time in the world.
