50 Cent Plans Back-To-Back LPs, Then Hiatus

50 CentAs 50 Cent plans his career like a chess game – according to the G-Unit artist, after his upcoming album, “Curtis,” he will follow up with another LP, “Before I Self Destruct,” and then go on a hiatus from the studio.

In a recent interview with MTV News, 50 Cent said he hopes to follow in the footsteps of his mentor Eminem, and take a break from recording music.

“Em ain’t put out an album in five years,” 50 explained. “It builds anticipation because he’s away.”

“And he really doesn’t enjoy what comes with the success. He likes to just be away a lot more, just be shy toward people. And then the less common you appear, the bigger your celebrity. So then he isolates himself, he becomes more popular. People are more excited.”

50’s next album, “Curtis,” will be dropping on Sept. 4, and he is already setting a release date for another album, “Before I Self Destruct” – which was originally set to drop first.

“I recorded 10 records to the concept of ‘Before I Self Destruct,’ but I put them aside when I started to create ‘Curtis,’" 50 said.

“‘Before I Self Destruct’ is scheduled to be released February 4, which is the anniversary of ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin’. And it'll be my final studio recording for where I’m at, for my deal. I did a five-album deal, and the fifth album is a greatest-hits CD.”

We all know there ar wack rappers out ther,but its always sad to see a talented rapper becoming wack not becoz of lack of talent but because of lack of effort.amusement park, a single?come on 50,u ar becoming a wussy ,w ev seen u do better than that........i think its becoz hez stopped drinkin and smokin and in the process lost imagination.get rich or die trying was lyrically the best rap ulbum ever relesed ulbum .the massacre is one of the worst.change somethin pliz....

This is ridiculous. If there are any greatest hits, they would be off of get rich or die tryin, the massacre doesn't have one song that would be considered a greatest hit. Also, 50's wrong cause em's encore came out 3 and a half years ago, not 5. And, who puts out an album 5 months after they release their previous one?! i'm guessing its gonna be pretty wack, but still hope for that get rich fire he used to have.

F uck all you b itches that dont like 50 he is the best thing rap got....bottom line his last few singles are not as good as he can do, but they are still better than all this other s hit out now..

I'm not a big 50 fan, but he does have some nice joints every now & then. But since this is also supposed to be a site that keeps us informed rather than promote g ay cyber battles, stupdity, & hate. Let me be the first to mention 50's big come up on the sale of his energy drink. He has 10% ownership and it was bought by coke for $4bil. Do the math. That's $400 mil!!!!!! that's paper. Congrats!!! real talk posted by sp 10:49 cst 6/6/07. Peace

Everybody was feeling that grodt but that sh*t wasn't the greatest album lyrically point blank. But with all his success it don't matter if he put out sh*tty singles he rich.
Posted by b
Hell, what happened to him? :(
Posted by Mora
Man i thought hip hop was only gettin attention still cause of momentum from the 90s, but kids is here thinking grodt is actually a classic-grade album...imagine it came out in 92 or 95 96 or whatever...imagine how it would compare to the other stuff droppin...it's garbage...why am i still bothering?? why am i typing this? why do i keep checking hiphop webpages...? nothing makes sense no mo

I just hope he goes away for a while (like eminem) and comes back with heat. Right now things arent looking good for him. His singles are garbage and people are starting to talk about the downfall of g-unit. That is what he really needs a break so he knows what he did wrong. An if he doesnt he is truly garbage.

Dude fif sucks...if you actually see talent in fifty then you really don't know hip hop...he's killin hip hop
Posted by J the Ace
I hope it's a permanent hiatus. 50 cent is like a disease to hip hop. His whole existence is beef. Without that he would not be here. How can he even put himself in eminem's category. Em is a lyricist; 50 is a rapping singer. I was a fan of 50 until he got big headed and started talking down on the people that helped him when he was a nobody (nas, sticky (did anyone know 50's chunky ass before that react joint?) and now master who supposedly paid for 50's first southern tour). He dissed ja for singing then stole ja's style. F*ck loose change...good riddance ya bastard!!!

Finally 50's gone soft since game left sure hes makin millions but he lost his touch for music he betta have some good collabo or im not buyin his lp's
Posted by killa kaze
Krs-one is helping 50 on his album "curtis" thats why it was push back "i hope". Plus stop hating on 50, he came from nothing and all you young dummies do is listen to rumors. Thats why it doesn't matter because 50 will still win because he's smart. Keep the unit together 50! put out m.o.p when its done.i hope the best 4 all the hip hop artist, all of them! no hating!

Yeah fif iz y there is anything to talk about in hiphop, he tha sh*t simple as that

50 is just setting up his deal with warner. Kevin leiles and lyor cohen offered his azz about 50+ million to sign with them. He is just fufilling his obligation to interscope. He is very business savy...but the massacare sucked! and young buck is the truth and the dont even promote him. Damn!
Posted by Hatcherman
50 is long past his good days he like most of da so called 'gangstas' man used to be ghetto now he got money he forgot where he came from and all that beef with ja about him bein pop now look what hes done himself he just another Bia'ch and i hope the next bullet sticks to his brain lil Bia'ch should learn to keep it real like ice cube, busta rhymes, bone thugs & harmony etc unless you like pop the album will be weak

Grodt wuz hot, the clothing line is hot, and 50 has brought a lot to hip-hop, deny it if you want, but really?...50 the real deal b!
Posted by richiemillions
The thang is, u lot dont get it, 50 dont care whether you like his cd or not, he is all business and rap is just a hobby to him, so whether you hate or not .. Life still goes on.... But music wise.. Nuttin will ever beat get rich or die tryin' but there is no denying that the massacre was successfull... Peace out

I'm so sick and tired of people saying, stop hating 50 cent, well he deserves to be hated, cause he's another mc hammer/vanilla ice all put together, it makes me sick that people support him and i don't give a flying F*ck about his businessman bullsh*t, what i need now is talent and 50 has none. Nas is about conscience and talent, something this clown will never have. God bless my love for hip-hop.

5-0's pretty done anyways, he's crap. How do we go from sugarhill gang & the late tupac shakur to this bullsh*t saddens me?

Posted by Brandon
How can you guys say he fell off, you don't see any other rapper with the brains of 50, he got into rap to get rich, he's succeeded in that and he still wants more, he's gon' shut it down with the next 2
Posted by G-Unot Killa
I put 50 in same space hammer was in mid 90's. The gimmick is tired. Plus he killed it for mobb deep and mop fans. Kanye has substance and will have longevity because if it. I too have 50 in my rotation but everytime one of his songs (or any gunit, especially phoney yaho) come on, when i put playlist on random i want to shoot the computer 9 times.
