Thug Life Army

Rap artist Eminem is getting ready to go on the Anger Management 3 Tour, and all of a sudden he is left without a DJ. Em's record spinner, hip-hop’s DJ Green Lantern, not only resigned from his tour post late last month, he left the whole Shady family. Green felt it was what he had to do to avoid causing any problems between rap artists Eminem and 50 Cent.

Confusing? Well, the street DVD "The Come Up, Vol. 5" is at the heart of the conflict. Green has his own interview on the DVD, but that's not what landed him in hot water. The DJ actually split from Em and company because of a Jadakiss interview.

In a separate segment, rap artist Jada was being asked about his beef with hip-hop’s 50 Cent when Green coincidentally called him. The two spoke about their wins at the previous night's Mixtape Awards, as well as discussing the 50/ Jada/ Fat Joe battle, Jada had Green on speakerphone, and unbeknownst to Lantern, rolling cameras picked up the entire conversation.

Green Lantern believed that 50 Cent would be upset by the talk, so rather than put Em in the position of choosing between the DJ and 50, the producer of Ludacris'' "Number One Spot" left on his own. No longer affiliated with Sirius hip-hop channel Shady 45, the DJ now hosts the syndicated radio show "Mixtape Radio."

While Jadakiss could not be reached to speak on the subject, Green Lantern and "The Come Up" producer Fendi had plenty to say.
