Posted by Miss Info under beef , hmmm....? , quotes , relationships and family , sigh....[57] Comments
uh oh…on the heels of Rick Ross’ #1 soundscan debut (which 50 and crew compare to Jadakiss’ sales in terms of investment vs. return), G-unit Books has revealed of Ross’ baby mom’s tell-all book “Tia’s Diary” on the website deeperthanrapbook.com.
Here are screengrabs of the prologue…

Something tells me we won’t know the damage incurred by this beef for years to come. In the short time this is just crazy but long term he may be forever damaged to the point where his standing in hip hop will mean less about his music and more about the legacy he left behind as a running joke.

Wow…Rick’s not a boss. He’s a deadbeat father and a loser. The only thing he can do is put out good music. Oh yea Rick leave the battle raps alone, u suck as a battle rapper. Sort of like Kanye, I can’t stand him as a person, but he does make good music.

Did she say that she left her marriage to be with Rick Ross? If so, she gets what she deserves.
Either way you look at it, she did dude dirty with the whole 50 Cent situation, so she’s not innocent by any stretch of the imagination. SMH @ “designer sunglasses.”
She’s probably knocking that Kelis jawn (i hate you so much right now) in her Toyota Echo.

@#6 150k is not good for an artist with the kind of pub Ross has. I think it might even be the worst debut of his 3 albums. Kiss did damn near the same with half the pub. This week he’ll do 60k and from then on it’s gonna be a struggle to sell 500k. And for those that say the album is so great #’s 6-12 are trash. 7 good songs out of 14 does not make a great album.

If Ross isn’t going to take care of his kid, then she has to do it by any means possible.I’m buying the book so I can post those legal documents that probably prove he is a fraud. Maybe the graduation video will be a bonus with the book??

recession people 150k anit bad at all. why would she leave a marriage for him if he was so fake? she already had two kids before they got together either she is stupid or he had money. read between the lines u see what she had in her car what she cared about who bought that?

Chick is a Horror. You 50 fans never talk about how Cam completely destroyed 50 in 50 standards with the “Curtis” album. His first two CD’s did on avg. 11 million and “Curtis” did 2.4 million that is like a 80% drop in sales. I know that is a shit load still, but for 50 that was horrid. That is like the biggest slaughter in any rap competition, ever. Your Replies: Yeah but, but, but, but, but, oh shit your right man.

She said she struggled to take care of her sons, yet she had designer clothes in the truck?
I think $4,000 a month is a lot for a 4 year-old child. Money like that would most likely be spent on what Tia wants, as a 4 year old child does not require that much a month.
And if Tia is working, making enough money to buy “designer party clothes”, why would her son be on Medicaid? It sounds like she loved the limelight, which is why she left her husband for Rick Ross in the first place. She’s living outside her means.
$2500 a month is good. He shouldn’t have to pay that broad more than that.

Now we all know DEF JAM bought most of these albums. La reid is somewhere tight right now. Because if he did 150k his 1st week that means next week is going to be around 60k. Thats y i dont pay any attention to 1st week sales anymore. It’s a wrap ricky and u know it. what do you think miss info?

Looks like men lie, women lie…and numbers do too. For years, there has been speculation throughout the music industry that Def Jam Records purchases records to manipulate the Nielsen Soundscan Charts. Although it was never proven, a former employee at Def Jam thought so.
Back in 2004, the LA Times reported:
A former music executive is accusing a unit of Universal Music Group and a promotion company of distorting the pop charts by persuading independent retailers to falsify album sales.
Veteran sales executive Theressa Rossi said in a lawsuit that she was induced to become the “front man” for a company hired by Universal’s Def Jam label to inflate sales figures reported to the tracking firm Nielsen SoundScan, which compiles the industry’s influential sales charts.
Independent retail stores were provided with free CDs of Def Jam artists by Giaco Entertainment, a New York marketing firm retained by the label, the suit said.
Giaco enlisted the merchants to repeatedly swipe the CDs across scanning machines to boost sales figures, distorting Nielsen SoundScan’s computerized reports, according to the suit, which did not specify which albums were involved. Giaco threatened retailers with delays of regular album shipments if they did not falsify sales data, the suit said.
The complaint, filed Monday in New York state court, names Universal, Def Jam, Giaco President Joe Giaco and Def Jam executives Kevin Liles and Mignon Espy as defendants.
Universal Music, a unit of Vivendi Universal, said it hadn’t reviewed the lawsuit and declined to comment. Def Jam is one of the nation’s largest rap labels, with acts such as Ja Rule and DMX.
In the past, representatives of the five major record companies have denied knowledge of any attempt by their labels to manipulate the data.
Giaco’s attorney, Steven K. Meier, called the claims “patently untrue,” according to a report by Bloomberg News.
Nielsen SoundScan officials couldn’t be reached for comment. Previously, executives with the New York-based market research company have said they have installed safeguards to uncover and remove false CD sales reported by record stores.
According to the complaint, Universal had moved to sever ties with Giaco in 2001 after a Los Angeles Times article described potential inflation of music sales data by independent promoters.
The suit alleges that Liles and Giaco colluded to create a new marketing company — Entertainment Marketing Services, with Rossi as a principal — to conceal from Universal executives that Def Jam and Giaco had not severed their relationship.
Giaco refused to open his financial books to Rossi and later forced her out while withholding her share of the profits, according to the suit, which seeks $22 million in damages.
For the music industry, Rossi’s allegations could have a wide ripple effect. Nielsen SoundScan’s figures, used to compile Billboard magazine’s sales chart, are widely considered the most trustworthy measurement of consumer tastes.
Before SoundScan’s arrival in 1991, the industry’s charts were based on verbal reports made by retailers.
SOURCE: LATIMES
___
Fast forward to 2007 when the several year-old case made it’s way to the New York State Supreme Court, the parties settled, and the court tossed out the case. Oddly Ms. Rossi then acknowledged that the claims and allegations against Mr. Giaco were without basis and untrue. She then agreed that she WOULD NOT “DISCUSS, PUBLISH, OR DISSEMINATE TO ANY PARTY THE CLAIMS AND ALLEGATIONS.” [Vibe Magazine]
With big names like Kevin Liles, record labels like Def Jam, and a 3 year time span, its amazing that they kept this under the radar but in this new age of the internet, the truth is never too hard to find! I am not accusing Def Jam of any wrong-doing, but you can draw your own conclusions…

This is ether. I just can’t see how some assume Ross won this beef. A lot of people treating this like a rap battle, but 50 was serious about altering Ross’ life.
Since when Chess was a rap battle? 50 caking of this dude life story is so hilarious and genius.
Ross needs to ask Tony Danza that famous question.

This woman is sad a pathetic!!! And to all you idiots who honestly think this book was penned by this ridiculous woman your an even bigger ass than she is! Just like Karrine Steffans doesnt pen her shit! People…they give there words to writers, real writers who put there dialogue into words and get paid for it. 50cent got this ignorant woman the best writer there is.
And stop talking about sale, none of yall will talk about the reviews! Rick Ross made a good album! (I heard it, I didnt buy it) His singles picked up…(which 50cents did NOT!) and he had a good album and debuted at #1! I wouldnt call that a total “L”… Ja Rule, maybe. But 50cent lost just as much respect from real ni**az during this beef just like Rick Ross did. They are both LOSERS!
Jayz is smart cause he said this on Dig A Hole…You dont respond to people that far beneath you. Cause even when you win, you still lose. And 50cent has lost in a lot of ways just like Charlamagne said.I have one question for 50cent..
Was it worth it? The time, effort, money, publicity..What did you gain besides another enemy and headache? What did he really gain? Album dont even have the slightest buzz or release date.He should have bowed out and retired like a man and laughed at officer ross.50cent made a fool out of BOTH of them.

You know what I just thought about even if 50 cells on 20 albums he still will have all the other things that will make him a whole lot of Money.I mean his acting career is taking of(even though he really can’t act) and with everything else he will just keep making money. With Ross what else does he have I mean if you do rearch on him you will see he doesnt have much else going for him besides this.
@Coolin you joking right even with a 80% drop off you fail to realize that he still sold more than a million albums its not his fault he set the bar so high for himself. WHERE THE HELLL YOU BEEN NO ONE SAID CAM WON THAT BATTLE NOT EVEN CAM WHEN YOUR TEAM IS ON STAGE WITH THE PERSON YOU BEEFING WITH YOU JUST LOST.

Cam doesn’t have to say he won that battle, I will say it for him. That night Jim and Juelz went on stage with 50 was great, I never really cared for them anyways. The only cd of theirs I ever bought was “On My Way to Church.” He made all the $ he was going to get out of these two w/o them crying which was happenning. Remember when Cam called 50 “Bugz Monkey” remember what 50 did he went and looked at himself in the mirror and cried and said I am a monkey and went and got his teeth fixed. Talk about being Super Sensitive. That 80% drop was worldwide Toolbelt. I am not being bias I am just stating the facts. All you girls want to hear some good shit get Crime Pays, oh yeah its like Christmas morning.

Wow, William (let’s give the Rick Ross back his name, this lame dishonors it) is a real dirt bag. To strand a woman at court when she has to pick up your son is lowdown. He’s one selfish dude. You can tell that by the whole nature of this beef. And didn’t the bootleg “Bawse” admit to wearing “tailored” knockoffs because they don’t come in his size? That’s so unboss-like. A true boss gets the company to make it for him becuse he’s got the bread. But that goes to show that fat Willie will do anything to draw attention to himself, even throw his children under the bus. I can’t wait to buy copies of this book and pass the out in front of the family court. LOL 150K album…#1? At least we know how he passed that polygraph to get that C.O. job.
