According to the state IRNA news agency, Iran is cracking down on the production of "obscene" Rap Music.

The AFP reports that the official for evaluation of music at the Culture and Islamic Guidance Ministry, Mohammad Dashtgoli is spearheading the campaign.

"There is nothing wrong with this type of music in itself..." says Dashtgoli. "But due to the use of obscene words by its singers this music has been categorised as illegal. In coordination with the police, illegal studios producing this type of music will be sealed and the singers in this genre will be confronted."

As for the G-Unit album, 50 divulged that it is almost done and that Swizz Beatz and Timbaland have already contributed. The last song they are waiting on is a track with Eminem.

"We gotta work with Em, that's it," he said. "Then we can be done with it. Production-wise, I captured what I needed. But I didn't want to not have Em's stamp on it. We probably won't get his vocals until he's heard the full body of work and he's excited about it. Before my work , it has to pass the Eminem test, the Dr. Dre test — it's a few tests before we push them to the street. That's why they can expect a higher quality of 50 Cent music than the usual artist."

LONDON: Hip hop artiste 50 Cent said fellow rapper Eminem doesn't want to tour because of the fear of upsetting his daughter.

50 Cent believes the former D12 member's six-year-old daughter Hailey does not like him being away from home and Eminem wants to put his fatherhood before his career, reports contactmusic.com.

A source told TMZ.com that a 911 call was placed Saturday night (Nov. 10) at 7:35 pm PST and Donda West was transported to Centinela Freeman Hospital in Marina del Rey.

Reports say West was unresponsive when she was brought to ER around 8:00 pm PST. Doctors tried to resuscitate her but were unable. West was pronounced dead at approximately 8:30 pm PST.

A plastic surgeon has revealed that he refused to perform the ‘cosmetic procedure on Dr. Donda West which has been tied to her sudden death.

Donda, who is the mother to rapper Kanye West, died in Los Angeles this weekend following what her publicist called a ‘cosmetic procedure.

Patricia Green, Dondas publicist, did not specify what the procedure was or what the exact cause of death was.

Hours after Greens revelation, the Los Angeles Coroners Office would confirm that Donda died from ‘possible complications due to surgery . The coroners office claimed they did not know what kind of surgery it was.

Dubcnn: It’s gonna be awesome! One of the guest appearances on “Caltroit” is Dr. Dre!

Yeah, AKA “Hell Yeah!” Bless you man. He’s in Detroit right now working with Em, and they’re coming up with some lovely shit, I can’t wait. Em’s shit’s gonna be amazing, because we need Em back, but [the collaboration on “Caltroit”] was just easy. It was spontaneous. He just jumped into the booth and was like, “What y’all want me to do?” It’s easy. So there’s some surprises coming, that’s just a little taste. I just want to floss. Most people can’t even get a Dre beat, let alone get him on a mixtape, so it’s fun.


Dubcnn: Have you been working on Eminem’s new project at all?

No, but we’re actually going to be doing…I don’t want too get deep into it. It’s a lot of magic going on, you know what I’m sayin’? You could see a “Bad Meets Evil” part 2, just like Royce and Em got down, shouts out to the big homeboy Royce. We’re brainstorming something really fresh, so you’re definitely gonna see a collaboration. I’m gonna stop there! I want surprises for “The Reformation,” but yeah, there’s gonna be some magic. Em’s got a crazy album, I can say that!
