| | | | | M.O.P.: Encyclopedia II - G-Unit - Recent Acquisitions 50 Cent has proved himself to be somewhat the George Steinbrenner of Hip-Hop; with promises of platinum sales and great financial rewards, he entices rappers from all across the country to join his label. They may be newly-successful or ten-year veterans, incarcerated or simply new to the game. The only prerequisite seems to be a predilection toward gangsterisms and violent lyrics.
M.O.P. left Roc-a-Fella Records at the time of the label's split, and signed up with G-Unit.
Mase, after shocking the rap world by renouncing his retirement and life as a pastor, signed as a joint venture between G-Unit and Bad Boy, reverti ...

East Coast hip hop - The Rise of the West Coast.
Main article: West Coast hip hop
Though East Coast hip hop was dominant throughout the 1980s, N.W.A.'s Straight Outta Compton and later Dr. Dre's The Chronic would introduce West Coast hip hop to the mainstream, and went on to supersede the East Coast's dominance. The Chronic, in particular, took West Coast rap in a new direction that was strongly influenced by P-funk artists, melding the psychedelic funky beats with ...

50 Cent - Recording label signing.
50 Cent is the Future was heard by Eminem who brought the rapper to Dr. Dre's attention. Eminem was quick to get onto New York's hip-hop radio circuit with the message that 50 Cent was his favorite rapper of the moment. They endorsed the idea of signing a deal and working with 50 Cent on an album.
Before starting production of his new album with Eminem and Dre, Jackson quickly released another mixtape (a bootleg album of raps over other artists' instrumentals), ent ...

Because the success of an artist in gangsta rap often depends on street credibility and reputation, Interscope Records has sold 50 Cent as the "real deal". His mother was murdered in a drug deal.

| | | | | M.O.P.: Encyclopedia II - DJ Premier - Biography
DJ Premier - Collaborations.
Outside of Gang Starr, some of Premier's most lauded work is his collaborations with Jeru the Damaja and Group Home respectively. With the former, Premier crafted one of the East Coast's landmark albums in the form of The Sun Rises in the East, released in 1994. Their follow up to this, 1996's Wrath of the Math, was regarded as a solid effort but not on par with it's predecessor, although it did contain Jeru's biggest hit to date, "Ya Playin' Yaself". Group Home's Liv ...

DJ Premier - Samples.
DJ Premier's style of production epitomises the New York sound from his earlier peers . He is known for sampling Jazz, Funk, and Soul artists, as well as sampling an artist's past work, when he is creating a new track for that same artist. In addition, his photographic memory of rap lyrics allows him to distinctively "speak with his hands" by scratching in lyrics from several different songs to construct new phrases[1]. Premier's non-Gang Starr collaborations are well-known for his often-imi ...

| | | | | M.O.P.: Encyclopedia II - East Coast hip hop - Golden Age Hip Hop 1986–1993 Old school hip-hop would often sample disco, soul, and funk tracks. In the case of the Sugarhill Gang, a live band was used for samples. However, the old school sound soon became based largely on drum machines and popular break samples. Mixing and scratching techniques eventually developed along with the breaks. In contrast with the later rhymes of new school hip hop, old school rap was relatively simple in its rhythms and cadences. However, from the mid- to late 1980s, Hip Hop gradually gravitated to a more sample-reliant sound, as r ...
