According to Fif, Eminem and Dr. Dre also have high touring profiles.

“I’ve traveled all over the place, I’m probably the largest touring hip-hop artist,” 50 said in an interview. “Em and Dre, Em would be the largest hip-hop artist but he doesn’t travel to see the fans after creating the material. He just puts it out, bam, and everybody loves it and he stays home. It’s because it’s to a point where your career can consume you. I’m allowing myself to be consumed, I haven’t been home this year, to my house. I haven’t been to my house this year, 2010. I probably won’t make it until late this year if I actually get a chance to go back. I’m gonna be on tour for another four weeks, I start filming a film project called Things Fall Apart — I’m excited about that…” (Radio X3M)

The Unit’s Tony Yayo recently talked about wanting Fif, Em and Dre to hit the road together for a tour.

“You know what? I would love to see Eminem, Dre and 50 do a big tour, so I could make millions of dollars,” he said in an interview. “I’ll be a stagehand and work in the back. I wouldn’t even care. I know I’ll make a million dollars lifting stuff. It’s an honor to be in their presence. With guys like Em and Dre and Fif, these guys got busy schedules. Em is working on another album. Fif got about 15 movies; he’s working on another movie right now called ‘The Gun.’ Dre — come on, man, you see them Dr. Dre headphones selling like hot cakes everywhere you go. Those guys are busy guys. I feel blessed I could say that I know Eminem, Dr. Dre and 50 Cent. A lot of artists beg to do a song with Eminem, beg to do a song with 50 Cent, beg to do a song with Dre — I’ve experienced all those worlds.” (MTV)

Preparing to tour in a few weeks, Lloyd Banks recently spoke on the G-Unit brand.

“Well the status is, I am the present, the past and the future,” Banks explained in an interview. “So they can definitely look forward to that. Tony Yayo, of course. The founding members are always gonna be there. We built this up, gave opportunities to other artists that were signed including [Young] Buck and Game and so on. But as long as that structure is there, we’re good. We’re solid. You can look forward to me, I’m the future. This summer [for my album]. It’s a tight schedule…hopefully we can push for late summer.” (“KG Radio Show”)

Rapper Soulja Boy Tell Em talked about conquering the United States touring market earlier this week.

“Right now, I got dates then I’m going overseas, like, I’m going to Brazil for like three days but that’s like it,” Soulja Boy explained in an interview. “But when I do the tour, I’m really just trying to conquer the whole United States because I be checking myTwitter and I be checking all my little FaceBook messages and it be like a lot of people that ain’t seen me perform that really wanna see me…So I got to get every city, for the people, just cause. And then after I do that, I’m gonna branch out overseas.” (Vlad TV)

    • Beauty and the beast. I must say she looking nice. Nigga stepped his game up.

    • yea she aight! better than his baby mama’s i guess! He got hella chips tho, and we all know the more $ u got, the better your bitches look!

  1. It’s funny people make fun of Rick Ross getting shot at. I mean yea if he rap that gangster shit eventually it will catch up to him. But he stayed cool through out the whole ordeal while most of you fuck boys woulda turned Christian the next day.

    • Lol true. But we all know he’s an expert at pretending in front of the camera.

    • Ross been on the decline nigga, him fakin his own near death ain’t helpin shit, he cool cuz cops got his back

    • Exactly. only these kids and simple minded niggas take these rappers lyrics literally. Off camera Ross ain’t playin no gangster role . nigga just smokes out, pays bitches to fuck him, and blows money. the worst part is the ppl who claim to hate him so much know all his lyrics lol

    • So if the gds a pop up on a video tomorrow and claim responsibility for the shooting would u still think it was fake?

    • LMFAO! Shame on you cause he got you fooled. Like you were there with him in the car after he crashed it.

    • Because he says his raps are real so yeah. But tell that to Jeezy. He the one who went after Ross at the BET cause of his music.

    • His lyrics aint too hard to understand, he raps nursery rhymes… you talkin like you know this cat, stop catchin feelings , mark ass trick. LMAO

    • Why would the gd’s claim intent of murder. Its the wrong way of raising your street cred

    • Nah cuz dats all his albums gon be about…Gettin shot at, Walkin the streets fearless after (Bout 4wks later tho), Money and Bitches…Mastermind

    • the popos have no prove so they cant charge, but a shoot is diff, witness appear out of no where. but its a rapper tho, everytime they get murkd no1 cares

  2. The grind don’t stop! My dawg don’t see that shit. We are born 2 survive in the 305. Niggaz don’t gang bang here. Niggaz grew up throwin hands. Now its gunplay. Rozay is a hustler hate it or love it.

    • Why does that matter 2 u? Was BIGGIE on the corner selling dope? Was 2pac a gangster? Don’t come @ me sideways my nig. Corny ass niggaz

    • Bitch who mention anything about Pac or Biggie u boiled crab eat’n Pork and Beans project ass refugee…now with that said u better get on some act right and address the issue… was he a Kingpin or not nicca.

    • That lame ass shit don’t move me faggot.
      Guess u was tryin to be funny,huh? Haha
      Stop sitting down 2 piss nigga..STAND UP SOMETIMES

    • Fuck niggaz like u want attention but ur not on my level
      See str8 thru bitch niggaz like u

    • Nigga don’t u ever put that fat fugazi in a sentence with legends again, and since u so infatuated with all that Homo thug rhetoric continue to keep you’re tongue inserted in Ross rectum.

    • UH, yeah. B.I.G was on the corner selling dope, his arrest record shows that. Pac, shit no, wasn’t no gangster, you ever seen Pac’s seventeen year old interview, where he’s talking like a fag, did ballet. But fast forward to 1996, on Death Row, the supposedly biggest gangster to rep the west-coast.

    • Yeah Big was in the streets dude!!! Try another dude… Big wasn’t no killer but he was in the streets!!!

    • biggie was raised as a Jehovah’s Witness. he chose the streets but didn’t have to be there. his mom is on record saying Juicy was fabricated. oma imma huge Biggie fan prolly can recite LAD word for word. I’m just saying

  3. all y’all motherfucker act like y’all don’t like Rick Ross……truth is if y’all didnt like him, y’all wouldn’t be in every article thats about him leaving comments…..

    • {{{-_-}}}. Funny that you put “Rick Ross” and “truth” in the same comment.
      Besides if you like him how come you can’t explain why you do?

    • hate him or not, rick ross makes good music period….so y’all come here hating on him while he’s obviously fucking bad bitches and making millions..lol

    • It’s funny how u get on ross articles everyday n hate. If u don’t like the nigga fall back n stay off the articles n go read 50 articles since u always got his dick in ur mouth

    • I could care less if he is fucking “bad bitches” and making millions. I’m happy for him if that’s what makes him happy but you wouldn’t know good music if it slapped you in the face if you think ross makes good music. you should try listening to some music outside of rap. then come back to rap and you will be able to tell which rappers have talent.

    • I’ll admit he does have a ear for picking dope tracks! But that’s where it stops! lol

    • You cant get that….Ross’ beats and lyrics make for enjoyable listening…he definitely got bars especially when the vast majority of the commercially accepted MCs don’t…

    • No hot bars knock it off frauds and he don’t make the actual beats cunts. You follow the leader new niggers need a jim jones to make y’all drink some flavor-aid and die, fuck y’all fraud ass bustas yell™

    • Name 2 bars nigga, you muthafuckas like anything now, even you older cats will do anything to fit in. He talks about nothing, this dude if he hated the law so much could have been spitting some networth Dorner shit, instead he wants to be a fake ass drug dealer with no bars yell™

    • Who the fuck are you I gotta quote another niggaz words to prove a point….go get on dialysis and rinse the hate from ya blood nigga….you sound like a bitter bitch who’s had her heart broke one time to many…and I can cosign WHO I FUCK WITH MUSICALLY…and I’m a old nigga who grew up on bars…Ross can rap…is he Rakim, hell no…he Ross and thas all he can be homie…not looking for his bullet scars or his criminal profile like you lil niggaz…..I know what he is and what he about and I leave that for the dickmongering haters to discuss….I fucks with his music…..thas it..by the way I listen to more Currensy and Pro Era than anything..

  4. This nigga stays yuckin it up for the cameras smh ol’ coonin and buffoonin ass nigga.

  5. Just because you ran with drug dealers in your past life that doesn’t make you a kingpin.

  6. It’s funny how people ride another mans balls, because he has money and supposedly is sleeping with hella chicks. Just because someone has money, and is allegedly smashing mad hoes, don’t make him better than people who call him out for his fakeness. Rappers are the ones who set the standard of street cred., and when one doesn’t live up to the imagine he created for himself. Why get sensitive when others make fun of your favorite rapper, Officer Ricky brought most of this on himself. I wouldn’t be surprised if it comes out that the shooting was staged. Even in the movies they hit the car, when firing automatic weapons. Unless Stevie Wonder was doing the shooting, one bullet should have hit the car.

  7. thanks to all THE HATERS the rick ross stories always gets more hit than any other stories on SOHH…lol the irony

    • bro

      u need to get off ricky’s dick for real
