50 IS A BEAST! pLATINUM MINES IN AFRICA/ DEATHROW CATALOGUE..

rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is on the verge of making a MAJOR PURCHASE.

No not a new car or a house – but the rights to some of the most influential hip hop tracks EVER CREATED. An insider, who spoke to MediaTakeOut.com on the condition of anonymity claims that 50 Cent is preparing to aggressively bid for Death Row Records entire catalogue.

The catalogue, which was owned by mogul Suge Knight and is being auctioned in bankruptcy contains all rights to the following albums:

Snoop Dogg – Doggy Style

Dr Dre – The Chronic

Above the Rim Soundtrack

Tha Dogg Pound - Dogg Food

2Pac All Eyez on Me

2Pac The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory

Snoop Doggy Dogg Tha Doggfather

Lady of Rage Necessary Roughness

Snoop Doggy Dogg Dead Man Walkin'

2Pac Until the End of Time

2Pac Better Dayz

2Pac Nu-Mixx Klazzics

And the price? The estate wants $24 million but MediaTakeOut.com's source claims that 50 will probably get it for half of that.
Tycoon Power Moves: 50 Cent Goes Platinum, “Literally”
When it comes to records, 50 Cent knows what it takes to go platinum. But in a mine shaft thousands of feet below the surface of South Africa, he’s got metal, not vinyl, on his mind.

Last May, 50 paid a visit to billionaire mining baron Patrice Motsepe in South Africa. Flanked by select members of their respective entourages, the unlikely duo descended into a subterranean trove of platinum, palladium and iridium, growing like moss on the earth’s warm innards. A spectacular backdrop for a bling-drenched music video, to be sure.

But 50 was there for other business: to forge a joint venture with Motsepe that could soon bring him an equity stake in the mine–and 50 Cent-branded platinum to the world.

“Things that people wouldn’t actually expect me to be involved in,” 50 muses a few weeks later, reminiscing on his trip. “I’ve got a diverse portfolio.”
