Kevlar-wearing 50 Cent's sophomore disc "The Massacre" arrives in stores today in an attempt by his Interscope/Aftermath label to curb piracy. The record leaked online Feb. 21 and was being sold illegally on the streets in New York soon after.
In addition to his "Candy Shop" match-up with Olivia — currently No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 — "The Massacre" contains the boombox-blowing "Disco Inferno" and cameos by Eminem and Jamie Foxx.
Ted Harbert | President and chief executive of E! Networks on the content of "E! News Presentation: The Michael Jackson Trial":
"It's a matter of individual taste. If people are put off by the subject matter, this program might not be for them."
All are familiar names to those who follow Hawaiian arts, but they're news to most of the 50,000 people in 14 nations who subscribe to Native Peoples magazine. Its editors have decided the arts of the kanaka maoli merit the cover of the March/April issue. Dwayne Kobayashi is pictured on the cover, performing hula kahiko.
'Candy Shop' opens for business early
You can find his "Candy Shop" in the club, and the album it's from is in stores five days early.
