Yelawolf was slated to appear at SXSW with his Shady 2.0 brethren. He was not able to make the show because he was hospitalized. Many wondered and speculated with all of the untimely deaths of stars recently. It was reported that he had a ruptured spleen. The problem took place almost a month before he was hospitalized. He was told he needed to rest therefore cancelling some shows in Detroit, SXSW and a few more.

Young Buck May Have A New Deal

Young Buck has been slightly absent from the charts but not from the music scene all together. He has been doing a lot of work with Drumma Boy releasing mixtapes. He has been struggling financially with the IRS problems and spending problems. He has been in a very publicized beef with 50 Cent about unpaid monies. 50 says Buck isn't owed any money and he needs to manage his money properly. Buck has been trying to survive with his clothing line and Cashville Records but the money still isn't enough. He is currently in negotiation to sign a new deal with Cash Money. However, he is still under contract with G-Unit records. In addition, the IRS woes has also halted him from signing a new contract with Cash Money because of his bankruptcy. If he comes into more money, he'll have to repay the creditors owed. Best of luck Buck.

Eminem Breaks Sales Records Once Again!

His last album, Recovery, was released a year ago. During it's first week Em was breaking records at that time. His sales were consistent and looking good but no one would have guessed that he would continue to sell good numbers a year later. Interscope Records congratulated Em for being the first artist to sell a million albums via digital downloads. That is a first for any artist and now the bar has been set. Question is once we get the Detox album how many copies will IT sell. Can Shady/Aftermath/Interscope make history twice back to back? Congrats to Eminem!
