Lil' Scrappy in Negotiations with G-Unit????

Rapper/Producer Lil' Jon released a statement today, which will clarify months of speculation about the status of his protege, Lil' Scrappy. Jon announced that his BME Recordings is currently negotiating a deal with 50 Cent's G-Unit Records.

"We entered a mutually beneficial agreement based on each company's creative strengths," Lil' Jon told AtlantaUrbanMix.com. "On a artist by artist basis, BME will help solidify G-Units artist in the South, where BME has a stronghold. I'll also do production for them, and G-Unit is gonna help market some artists signed to BME; the first being Lil Scrappy." Though full details about the deal were not available at press time, both labels did confirm that the arrangements are in final negotiation stages.

The statement officially ends months of speculation about whether or not Scrappy will be leaving BME to become a G-Unit Soldier. While the "Prince of Crunk" denied such rumors in an interview with Ozone Magazine last month, 50 Cent reportedly made it official during a recent interview on BBC's Radio 1 Rap Show in London. During the October 15 interview, 50 told host Tim Westwood that Lil' Scrappy was "coming over to G-Unit." Reps for G-Unit Records declined requests for a comment.

Founded in 2002 by Lil' Jon and childhood friends Vince Phillips, Emperor Searcy, and Rob Mac, BME is preparing new releases from Trillville, Lil' Scrappy, Bohagon and E-40.

    WTF?! First, MobbDeep, then MOP, and now LIl SCrappy? Now,I understand it's financially beneficiall to both parties (G-Unit and BME)... but Come On!!! They are turning HipHop into 'Oh, look at me,I'm Mr. Rolling-In-The-2MillionDollar-Mazerati-in-the-streets-of-Monaco!"... If you've seen the video for "Window Shopper", you'd know what i'm talkin about... Lil Scrappy and others to come will be highly effected by this and probably become just as fake as 50 andthem... I believe i made my point here...
