50 Cent has responded to Eminem saying he’d be down to do a joint album with Fif, and it sounds like the Queens, N.Y. rapper wants to work on the project.
“Looks like I’ll be back in the booth after all!” 50 captioned a screenshot of the news on Instagram. “Just gotta do this residency in Vegas first.”
Eminem Talks Possibility of 50 Cent Joint Album
On Wednesday (Dec. 25), Eminem appeared on DJ Whoo Kid’s Whoo’s House Podcast to celebrate 20 years of Em’s Shade 45 Sirius hip-hop station. During the chat, which can be heard below, Whoo Kid asks Slim Shady about the possibility of fans getting an Em and 50 collab album.
“That would be great,” Em responds around the 21:30 timestamp of the interview below. “I think that we gotta stop bullsh*tting and just do it…I would never say it’s not possible.”
Listen to Eminem Talk About Possibly Doing a Joint Album With 50 Cent
It’s been nine years since 50 Cent released his last project, the mixtape The Kanan Tape, and 10 years since he released his most recent album, Animal Ambition, in 2014. In the last decade, 50 has mostly been focusing on building his film and TV empire, which has included the fan-favorite series Power and BMF. He has, however, been outside on the massive The Final Lap Tour in 2023.
Back in September, 50 Cent revealed that he previously proposed a massive world tour to Em that would have featured them and Dr. Dre, which the Detroit rapper turned down for sentimental reasons.
“He said, ‘I just don’t want to go and come back and Hailie’s grown,'” 50 explained in an interview on CBS’ Saturday Morning. “I did not know what he meant when he said that to me. I thought he was crazy because I was like, he just don’t want to go. ’Cause I was trying to convince him to go on the tour at that point,” 50 Cent added. “And then, I was at Hailie’s wedding. She got married and I’m like, this is what he’s talking about. The time went so fast that we watched her get married.”
On Wednesday (Nov. 13), Zuck shared a heartfelt post on Instagram dedicated to his wife Priscilla Chan. The post, which can be seen below, features a carousel of photos and images. One shows a throwback photo of the couple. Others show Zuck and T-Pain in the studio. In the caption, the billionaire tech entrepreneur explained the post.
“‘Get Low’ was playing when I first met Priscilla at a college party, so every year we listen to it on our dating anniversary,” he wrote. “This year I worked with @tpain on our own version of this lyrical masterpiece. Sound on for the track and also available on Spotify. Love you P.”
T-Pain commented on the post: “Happy anniversary! Thanks for letting me be a part of this.”
Chan also reacted to the post: “Can’t get quite as low anymore but more in love and grateful for that love than ever. Love you MZ.”
The remix finds Zuck and T-Pain (now known as Z-Pain) covering the Crunk Juice creator’s club track with an acoustic and at times cringy twist. Zuck sings the exact lyrics to the original track but turns the lively song into a folksy vibe.
“From the windows to the walls/’Til sweat drops down my balls,” Zuck sings over soft guitar licks. “Till all these b**ches crawl/Oh, skeet-skeet, muthaf**ka/Oh skeet-skeet goddamn.”
T-Pain comes through and sings the Ying Yang Twins’ lyrics. This was definitely not on anyone’s 2024 bingo card.

Houston rap legends Scarface, Paul Wall and Slim Thug are featured in Megan Thee Stallion’s new video for “Bigger in Texas,” her first single from Megan: Act II.
Co-directed by Megan and Julian Klincewicz, the visual finds her rocking a grill and spitting lyrics like, “E’rrythang bigger in Texas, ain’t no injections, we at the pole, no elections/B####, don’t come around me tryna pass out drugs, ho, I ain’t poppin’ no Teslas.” Celebrity jeweler Johnny Dang, who’s also Paul Wall’s longtime business partner, makes a special cameo.
Megan: Act II features 12 new tracks, including the “Mamushi” remix and “Roc Steady” featuring Flo Milli.
Paul Wall rose to notoriety in the mid-2000s as a key figure in the Houston rap scene, known for his distinct Southern style, drawl, and contributions to the “chopped and screwed” sub-genre of rap popularized in H-Town. Some of his biggest tracks include “Sittin’ Sidewayz” featuring Big Pokey, “They Don’t Know” with Mike Jones and “Grillz” with Nelly, which earned a Grammy nomination.
Scarface, meanwhile, is best known as a member of the Geto Boys, who brought raw, street-level storytelling and dark themes to Hip-Hop in the late ’80s and ’90s. Known for his gritty lyricism, deep voice and emotional storytelling, Scarface helped make the Geto Boys famous with hits like “Mind Playing Tricks on Me.” As a solo artist, Scarface dropped several albums, including Mr. Scarface Is Back (1991), The Diary (1994) and The Fix (2002).
Slim Thug got his start in the early 2000s, initially through independent mixtapes and collaborations with other Houston rappers like Mike Jones and Paul Wall. His mainstream breakthrough came with his verse on Jones’ hit single “Still Tippin’” in 2004, which helped bring Houston rap to a national audience.
As reported by Instagram blog RapTV on Wednesday (September 18) and confirmed by Kworb, Travis is now the third most-streamed rapper on Spotify with a whopping 49 billion streams.
He comes in just behind Em at No. 2 with 51 billion streams, but both are still a ways behind the most-streamed rapper in the world, Drake, with 103 billion. Ye currently sits at No. 4 with 48 billion, while Future rounds out the top five with 40 billion.
A surge in sales from the commercial release of his 2014 mixtape Days Before Rodeo certainly helped. The effort is set to secure the coveted number one spot on the Billboard 200, four weeks after missing out on the crown in contentious fashion.
The tape narrowly missed out on topping the chart in its first week of release, despite earning over 360,000 equivalent units.
Now it looks set to surge to number one thanks to vinyl copies of the mixtape being shipped out, with Days Before Rodeo on track to move 130,000 equivalent units — including 125,000 in pure sales — in its fourth week, according to HITS Daily Double.
Drake surprised fans by unleashing 100GB of content on a website called 100gigs.orgon Tuesday (August 6). The release initially appeared to be a leak as it emerged from a seemingly random Instagram account, now speculated to be Drake’s burner.
“100 GIGS FOR YOUR HEADTOP,” the account declared.
Drake’s label OVO Sound confirmed the content was not a leak on X (formerly known as Twitter). It shared a link to the website and tagged Drake in a post on Tuesday afternoon.
The 100GB release included three new songs. Latto, who appeared on one of the tracks, shared a snippet with a video of her riding a horse on her social media platforms.
Drake enlisted Latto for a song called “Housekeeping Knows.” Frequent collaborator 21 Savage and the incarcerated Young Thug contributed to a track titled “It’s Up.” The third song was a solo cut called “Blue Green Red.”
The rest of the content was filled with behind-the-scenes footage of Drake from music videos, studio sessions and more. The 100 gigs site made every folder available for download.
While the Chicago rapper has announced public listening events, titled Writings on the Wall, across the U.S., Juvie got his own special preview of the highly-anticipated project in his hometown of New Orleans.
The Cash Money legend was impressed by both the music itself and the audio-visual experience of the listening event, calling them “amazing.”
In a video posted on Chance’s Instagram, he gushed: “This shit is one of the greatest experiences. First of all, the music is so touching, right? But this technology is so great. You can feel that shit in your body.
“Then you’re seeing the words and you got the headphones [on] listening to the music. It’s like a sing-a-long song, right? When you get to the next hook, you should know the words. This shit is amazing.”
Another clip shows Juvenile listening to Star Line with glow-in-the-dark headphones on and saying: “Wow… Chance, this is fucking amazing” while applauding.
Chano added in the caption:”Had to give my guy @juviethegreat a lil private listening between the NOLA #writingsonthewall sessions.
“I wanna thank the good folks over there at @studio_be_ especially @bmike2c for collaborating in such a meaningful way and bringing Juvie and @pjmorton thru. Cant wait for the next one y’all.”
Chance The Rapper has been teasing Star Line for a while, sharing a video earlier this year that hinted at features from the likes of Lil Wayne, Lil Yachty, Jermaine Dupri, T-Pain, Jazze Pha and Vic Mensa.
He also worked with the legendary DJ Premier on the recent single “Together,” which found him calling for housing justice in his native Chicago.

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and two-time Grammy® Award-winning Hip-Hop icon, LL COOL J, has announced his 14th studio album, The FORCE (Frequencies of Real Creative Energy).
Set for release on September 6th via Def Jam Recordings / Virgin Music Group, the highly anticipated 14-track album features an impressive lineup of guest artists, including Nas, Eminem, Rick Ross, Fat Joe, Busta Rhymes, Saweetie, Snoop Dogg, Don Pablito, J-S.A.N.D., Mad Squablz, and Sona Jobarteh.
The FORCE, LL’s first new album in over a decade, is a powerful testament to his enduring influence in the music industry. Produced entirely by Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest, the album showcases LL’s renewed vigor and lyrical prowess. The Queens emcee describes the creation process as “learning how to rap again,” resulting in a record that is both contemporary and deeply rooted in Hip-Hop tradition.
“It’s like a director going back to film school after he’s had blockbusters,” LL says, or “Denzel going back to acting class.”
This album explores various themes, from racial injustice and law enforcement abuses to the effects of the pandemic, isolation, and LL’s legacy in the Hip-Hop canon. With sharp writing and dynamic vocals, “The The FORCE blends serious topical content and energetic, fun tracks, demonstrating LL COOL J’s continued relevance and creativity.
“We’re talking 14 tracks of straight fire, all crafted by myself and the one and only Q-Tip,” LL said. “When you listen to this album, you’re not just hearing music, you’re experiencing a whole new vibe, a whole new level of artistic passion.”
The FORCE is set to inspire and challenge the genre, offering a new direction for Hip-Hop while celebrating its rich history. Fans can look forward to a modern, thought-provoking album that reaffirms LL COOL J’s place as a Hip-Hop legend.
Previously, LL COOL J triumphantly returned to music with his new single “Saturday Night Special” featuring Rick Ross and Fat Joe. Released via Def Jam Recordings and Virgin Music Group, the track marks LL’s comeback after a decade-long hiatus.
The new single, produced by Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Q-Tip, kicks off with an innovative sonic approach. LL COOL J, Rick Ross, and Fat Joe navigate the track with lyrical finesse, depicting life’s harsh realities, intricate dynamics, and the code of ethics governing it. Named after the revolver class “Saturday Night Special,” the song explores key players in the hustle, such as the “greedy killer” who reacts violently to disrespect and the “daredevil type” who seeks attention. Emphasizing self-preservation and strategic interaction, the song’s core message revolves around trust and reciprocity in the hustle.
The minimalist, black-and-white music video, directed by JakeTheShooter with creative direction from HiHat, brings the hustler anthem to life. Shot in Miami, Florida, the video features LL, Fat Joe, and Rick Ross performing together.
“‘Saturday Night Special’ is just the beginning,” LL said. “There’s a lot more where this came from, and I’m hype for y’all to hear this new record. We’re doing this for the fans and for Hip-Hop culture.”
