Title: Fake 50 Cent was released to internet by interscope to throw off bootlegging!!

i just found this not sure if its been posted but if this is true that was a smart move indeed...


Hip-hop has not seen a buzz like the one 50 Cent has
generated since, well, Eminem's The Slim Shady LP.
That's probably why bootleggers have already put the LP
on the net. However, adding a twist to the scenario,
word is that Interscope has duped the Net heads by
releasing a fake version of Get Rich Or Die Trying.
Look for these tracks to be included on the retail
version: "50 Kills" f/Xzibit, "Tough Block" f/Eminem and
DMX, "The Magic Stick" f/Trina, "Trauma Drama" f/Dr. Dre
and Nate Dogg, "If I Knew" f/ Em & D12 and "Trouble In
NYC" f/Rakim. Because of the bootlegging, Interscope
has pushed the release date of the album up to February
6th - and yes, we will begin shipping on that date.
Meanwhile, with Tony Yayo of the G Unit away serving
some jail time, 50 has enlisted longtime friend, Wuteva,
to join him on his promo tour. Wuteva is signed to
Rockwilder and DJ Twinz's Muzik Park label. Lastly,
anyone else worried that it took 50 Cent only
four-months to record his Shady Records / AfterMath
debut and Rakim has been signed/stagnant for nearly
two-years? You know what we are fearing Dre - don't do
it to us!

You know its funny someone posted this. Yesterday or two days ago I was checking online retailers to see if anyone had a tracklist up and when I came across SandBox Automatic they had a tracklist totally different from anything I’ve seen. And it just so happens they're the authority on online vinyl with connections to every major and indi label imaginable, so I had a dj friend check up on it and he said it's legit. I'm skeptical but who knows.. the tracklist they have is....


01 - Intro (Get Rich)
02 - Patiently Waiting
03 - In Da Club
04 - 50 Kills (feat. Xzibit)
05 - So What (Skit)
06 - Undercover Thief
07 - Don't Push Me
08 - Tough Block (feat. DMX & Eminem)
09 - The Magic Stick (feat. Trina)
10 - Shut Up (Skit)
11 - 1st Single
12 - Trauma Drama (feat. Dr. Dre & Nate Dogg)
13 - Trouble (Skit)
14 - Trouble In NYC (feat. Rakim)
15 - Many Men
16 - If I Knew... (feat. Eminem & D-12)
17 - 21 Questions
18 - Back Down
19 - Outro (Die Trying)

i totally believe this, when i heard the retail bootleg i was curious about it being real or not due to the 2 bonus trax and poor selection of tracks.

Well...its been said before that many companies may leak albums on purpose to generate more hype and therefore more sales in the albums, most of us do d/l the promos etc but they are often used as samplers...
...ie hear the promo then go out and buy it if u liked it.
There are soem people here i know that have many copies of the same album...just different versions  ;)

So to me it doesnt matter if the album i download is the same as the retail because if its worth it ill buy it!

On the score of stopping bootlegging i think this means that the record companies have come to realise they cant stop the masses from getting what they want...so they just helping us and themselves along the way...better than trying to shut something like irc down because of it.

Yeah, I agree.  I'm gonna go out on the line and say this is true, I'll bet the one we got is a bootlegg leaked by Interscope, and the real album will have the tracklist above.  Somebody somewhere oughta have the cd's by now, though, and be able to confirm.

BTW, don't we know anyways that "1st single" was a real song?  I coulda swore I heard that mentioned somewhere, this tracklist looks legit like a watermark to me.

ITS FAKE, wanna know how i know, cuz they asked 50 what his fav song was on the album and he said "Heat", and heat isnt on the tracklist....once again investigator doggy cracks down on  another case.....ill find he interview if yall really want the proof that bad

SIXSHOT:  What are your favorite tracks off the new album?
50 CENT:  My favorite joint is called Heat. Me and Dre. Dre got some shit with him musically. Like I said before, he got some shit for NWA still that matches me so perfectly.

From The 50 thread in 411

and plus that tracklist is just a old rumoured one that was floatin around back in november

Some of them has already been through a name-change it seems.
And a few of the tracks on the ripped version had illogical names, they may have changed them up..

Your not an investigator your a schmoe
What did you expect 50 to say "huh my fav track was number 09 - The Magic Stick (feat. Trina)" If there is a fake tracklist I think 50 will go along with it ;)smart guy

you think he would have known about it back a few months ago when interscope probably didnt even know they were gonna pull off somethin like that? and even if they did, they wouldnt run to him and tell him to not name any of the songs off the real album in interviews fuckin retard, go back in your hole

50 is a genius he writes lyrics in his sleep....he must have wrote too many good tracks for one cd.....If there is a fake tracklist....50 would have to go along with it or it wouldn't work and would make Interscope look like chumps

Doggy your brain must be fucked up...cause your thinking is off

wouldn't a real tracklist be smart in terms of boosting album sales?  considering that all the sites i've been to selling the cd have the same list that comprised the album that was on the net a while back.
