50 Cent promises to reinvent the hip-hop wheel on new album

[Elano]

Since record buyers made it clear that 50 Cent is no longer the most relevant artist  in hip-hop, he's decided to recreate the entire genre according to his needs. In an interview with Rolling Stone, 50 Cent that his new album would challenge what is thought of as hip-hop:

“Other rappers can take what I’ve done for the last five years and do their version of it and be successful with momentum. Meanwhile, I have to reinvent the wheel. I’m not really listening to anyone else’s record. Now I’m in another space where I gotta make what I’m excited about."

The new album should be out by the end of the year. This news comes just as Kanye West has announced that he'll releasing a new album in the same time frame. Could this be Graduation vs. Curtis, Round Two?

[Lord Funk]

There's no way 50 will drop a new album before the end of the year.

[22 Twoz]

So yo sales is weak and the G-Unit album flopped...and NOOOOOOOOW you wanna "reinvent the hiphop wheel" huh?

fuck outta here.

This guy thinks he's the best thing that's happened to Hip Hop since Pac,  .  He's so full of himself, it's not even funny.

[R1ZE]

Instead of "reinventing the wheel", he should just go back to his old style. It's his last album, he's already insanely rich. Put out some good music now.

[Matty]

sha money playing some beats from before i self destruct album

beats sound great atleast

[Dogg Ly Dogg]

beats on that vid sounds average to me, nuthin special

[The King]

Who knows, maybe it will be good. Timbaland's shock value, where he tried to create a new sound, was creative, but wasn't amazing. Sucks when rappers just try to recreate the past.

Props for that video, that middle beat was tight. "Straight from the Bank" was an amazing beat from Fyffe.

The whole fuck 50, fuck Game, is really played out to the point it's destroying hip hop. Groupies killing the business. Game fans won't buy 50's, 50's won't buy Game, and it's killing the sales of two of the biggest names. Shouldn't matter who it is, as long as the music is good. Curtis wasn't good, but maybe 50 learned his lesson. And TOS isn't as bad as people think it was.

Look at Wayne for example. 1 million in one week. Now every single new rapper is going to copy his formula. Rappers are just following the sales these days, instead of trying to make original music. If it worked for Wayne, why not ____. Hip Hop is going to be stuck in a huge hole mainstream because of this for a few years.

[Black Excellence]

said the same thing about curtis.

[MontrealCity's Most]

got some grimmy beats
