"All you gotta do is get the response," Fif explained. "The response is so well, so good, that I know the record is a hit. So whether the consumed it from actually purchasing it or they got it off the web or wherever they got it from, when they hear it and enjoy it, they end up at the show. How can I focus on album sales now when it's to the point where my record is released four weeks before schedule. The marketing, everything that's planned to sell the actual record, is happening four weeks late, now that the record is out a month early. You know, those things are happening after they had an opportunity to hear it and it's confirmation to the doubters that the record wouldn't be good."

| Rick Ross recently talked about the status of his upcoming joint project with Baby (aka Birdman) titled "The H," saying fans could expect to see a movie along with the album. Although the Triple C's leader didn't give many details, he did say that filming for the movie will start next month. "We gonna let that [album] go next year," Ross promised in an interview. "The whole concept behind it was we wanted to do different so and do a movie.

| | November 07/09 | DMX's Manager "Hes An Artist, Not A Boxer" | 
| Well after news broke yesterday (November 6th) that DMX might be dropping out of his celebrity boxing match, a representative for the rapper has come forward to address the claims. According to DMX's manager, Nakia Waker, the original plans called for the fight to be staged. "Event Promoter and Management agree that [DMX] is scheduled to win
Boxing Challenge." Walker also added a line to an addendum for the contract which read, "All parties
agree this event has been scheduled to occur only in fun and that the
artist involved is not a professional boxer."
The fight promoters, Thunder Promotions, refused to sign the addendum, claiming they never agreed to fix anything. Now, DMX is threatening to back out and the promoters are looking for someone to replace the rapper while they also prepare a lawsuit for breach of contract. DMX's rep tells us the rapper really does want to fight -- rigged or not -- but she's forcing his hand because "he's a hip hop artist, not a boxer."
