Rapper 50 CENT plans to show off his soulful skills on his third album after falling in love with Motown classics. The In Da Club hitmaker - real name CURTIS JACKSON - is planning to shock fans next spring (07) with his new sound. He says, "I want the music to sound like something I haven't done before so I needed to change the guys I worked with on the last project. "On my last album I stuck with what people have expected from me already but now I feel more comfortable to do something else. I've been listening to a lot of Motown stuff - SMOKEY ROBINSON - a lot of older music, so I got a lot of soulful loops. "I took material from some old, old records and recreated them."

Whatever, 50 is one of those guys who you know is gonna have some heaters on his album regardless so I'm always looking forward to his albums.
-
innovation and change is only way to survive.. i'd laugh if he hooked up with quik for his next record... (yeah it's rediculous)
-
Then maybe his next record would be good.
-
hopefully the album is gonna flop
-
in other words hes gonna show his homo side
-
50 doesnt have a soul

Miss Detox does...

On some real shit who's actually going to cop his next album? I STILL ain't heard a single one of his EVER, plus it staying that way. 50 get around beefing with peeps that's all it is.
-
^^^ ROFL. He gets around because he knows how to create a hit. He had 5 songs in top 10 billboard charts last year when Massacre came out.
If he only relied on beef, he'd do Game numbers (ouch!) :P
-
Out of Control was the only good track on the Massacre.

=/ Nope, really a shame cause I really like Out of Control.
-
I'd like to see 50 continue the Video's DVD concept like he did with the Massacre...
I still get high as shit 8) & play the Video's from time to time.

from those the only ones i dug were
in my hood.....3.5/5......nothing worth listening to again ever
im suppose to die tonight...4/5.......50 hook is sick....em comes with a nice beat.......again nothing worth listening 2 years after the massacre,
ski mask way..3..75/5........again nothing worth diggin up from a wack album 2 years later
hate it or live it 4.5/5......the game and 50 version is better, its the OG and it seems to fit mo...again nuttin worth listenin to me, its hella played out, if i hear it on a radio or someshit, aight, but i wouldnt bump that.
outta control, og and remix.....4.5 or 5/5??........argueable but bangers no doubt, but again, massacre is a wack album and theres nothing really worth me listening to it again.....
you think 50 sold all his records without causing controversy? without his beefs? piggy bank?lol.........50 makes hits and knows how to sell records.
and what you on about game only sells because of beefs??........music wise, games 1st album is just as good as 50's argueably better..but the same arguement could be said about 50's 1st album being better than games....2nd album there aint no comparison, everyone with any hiphop sense knows games album shits all over massacre.........groupies will be the only one who dont know about this......
about his 3rd album, i can only hope he has more guest outsides his camp......and 50 is the 1st person who knows that he gotta step up this time around, quit the singin, a few hooks is kool but no singin everyhook like some eminem bullshit, it is part of the reason why em is wack today and its about to ruin 50 is he just plans on doing all his own hooks singin .........having said all this i think 50 will either make a serious hit or a real wack peice......i hope he has little em influence, because everyone knows his ear for dope music is terrible

Its about how Game sould 350.000 with no hits. The only logical reason why he sold is ebcuase pf beefs and Interscope.

No just pointing out the facts and double standards. The tables turned now and everything you said about 50, is happening to Game.
Youre just in denail :-X

actually yeah that is true :-[

50's own Rhythm&Gangsta?
Not really a fan of 50's, but he does put out some good songs
-
after listening to game and jay-z's new albums, i sometimes ponder if 50 cent is still a mc or if he is just another puffy that uses rap as entertainment..
50 used to put out some bangers.. but then he kills shit with his pop-entertainment songs like "candy shop". i dont know if iovine tells him to put that shit so he can appeal to a bigger fan base, but he needs to come back to putting out some real hip-hop, rap music.

I laugh when I see people argue with Detox is coming (Meho), the guy is 10x more intelligent then almost all of you. Seeing something unbiasedly is one of the highest qualities in a person. Learn how to do it quick.

How so? Because he's willing to take a bullet for 50? Fuck outta here.

Lol, classic example of getting butt hurt.
If you look at my posts you'll see I've never said anything completley biased. Sometimes perhaps a lil bit but not even close to what some others are doing.

Conformation about the album title, and the whole re-doing old soulful joints:
50 Cent, Almost Ready To Self Destruct, Unloads On Critics First
50 Cent has never been completely up front with fans about the deeper meaning behind his album titles. But he might just top Get Rich or Die Tryin' and The Massacre with the name of his third major-label release: Before I Self Destruct.
50 revealed the title to MTV News recently and justified it — cryptically, of course — by simply saying, "Because it could potentially happen."
The music, however, is likely to be lighter than his previous efforts, as the rapper has said he's been inspired lately by old R&B and Motown artists like Smokey Robinson. And we also know he's working with at least one R&B producer: Beyoncé hitmaker Rich Harrison (see "50 Cent Enlists The R&B Flair Of Beyonce Hitmaker Rich Harrison").
"I show more vulnerability on this record than on others," 50 said. "I'm in a space where I can experiment a little bit. I mean, I felt a lot of pressure between each one of my projects. And they don't say, 'Do you think 50 can make a good record?' They say, 'Do you think he can do it again?' And that means [if I will] have the same success as I've had on each one of those projects. They don't care whether the state of the music business is changing; they'll say I've failed if I don't do what I did on the first two projects."
And, as 50 noted, that's no easy task.
"So 11 million records on my first album and 9.5 on my second album," he continued. "And when I'm getting ready to go into this project, considering that Apple is selling millions of iPods and Microsoft is coming out with competing products and Sony — everybody has something that encourages people to download material instead of purchasing the actual CD. The general public will still take advantage of it and say that I'm becoming less of an artist."
50 didn't elaborate whether Before I Self Destruct will try to live up to those expectations or shun them aside, but said to expect the album in the spring.
In the meantime, the rapper is furthering his acting career with several upcoming projects. The first of those, "Home of the Brave," with Samuel L. Jackson and Jessica Biel, opens next month.
"My character was actually a lot smaller [originally]," 50 said. "Irwin [Winkler, the director] kept expanding the character based on my performance. He wanted to see more from me in the film, so he just kept on adding scenes for me."

50 is more r&b than Ja Rule was.

^yeah but 50 was also alot less sesame street.
