Even 50 Cent has to listen to his boss.
The rapper revealed Monday he was planning to release another album July 18 until higher powers stepped in.
"Em didn't agree with me," 50 said of his Shady Records boss while on the set of Mary J. Blige's "Enough Cryin' " video. "My motivation wasn't really right. I get a little frustrated from time to time and I got so much material that I make that isn't being heard that I was like, 'Yo, I just wanna release an album again.' And he was like, 'Nah, you gotta wait.' I don't care about none of that [timing], I just want the record to go out, but it just makes better sense to take our time and re-create the new album."
50's got an album's worth of material in the can but expects none of it will make his next record when it's finally released.
"By the time the summer passes, the music that I planned to release will be dated to me and I'll have so many new ideas that I wanna write something else," he explained. "I don't ever receive the credit I'm supposed to receive for my music. I receive all the checks I'm supposed to receive, I just don't receive all the trophies. But I'm cool with it. I just look at it like I should continue to dominate with it more. I'll get lifetime-achievement awards opposed to best-new-artist awards, so it's cool."
If it were up to 50, he'd also be awarded as a label boss, as running G-Unit takes a massive amount of his time.
"I've sacrificed a lot for my actual camp," he explained. "I'll have an album and do three videos ... and the album will be over. Even though I put together 21 cuts [for 2005's The Massacre], which is a double album, and there's easily another three records on there that I could be shooting visuals for, I stopped shooting in order to move to the next project, to make sure that everybody around me is in a great space creatively and financially. So for me it's a definite sacrifice."
If he were selfish, 50 added, he would have made videos for "Build You Up" with Jamie Foxx, "God Gave Me Style" and "Get in My Car."
"There's so many records that were there that had full potential to go to radio and be a single," he said. "When I go out to perform them I feel the energy, so I know people enjoyed it as much as I anticipated them enjoying it."
That's not to say, though, that 50's not enjoying his role as a mogul, especially being able to sign some of his favorite artists, like Mobb Deep (see "50 Cent Wants To Sign Mobb Deep, M.O.P. To G-Unit Records").
"Their project is incredible for me," he said. "It was an opportunity to work with a group that I was a fan of for a long period of time and now it's exciting. I had influences on some of their musical choices overall and I think the project is a classic."
Mobb's album Blood Money is scheduled for an April 11 release (see "Mobb Deep, 50 Cent Get Tattoos To Prove Their Loyalty"), although 50 anticipates it being pushed back a few weeks in order to clear all the samples.
Lloyd Banks' next album will follow shortly after, and Young Buck has also finished his next release.
50 says he feels hip-hop needs the new G-Unit releases, as the genre seems to be stuck in a creative rut.
"A lot of the music that comes out of the South is kind of simplified and I think it's kinda 'cause they just wanna have a good time," he explained. "They don't wanna think about what [they] just said. ... They really didn't make sense, but they made sense in a way and they just wanna hear something while they're actually partying and it works for them. But when they don't take the time to make it the highest quality possible, it hurts the actual hip-hop [genre]. People wanna make music they can get away with as opposed to the best possible music they can make.
"They'll lower the grade of music," he continued. "It changes the range you can go and then it causes confusion amongst artists that don't have their own direction at that point and they all start making music that is similar. Like if the record comes out and it's a hit and it's the simplest thing on the planet, all of a sudden the new artists start writing records that are similar to that hit. Their motivation is to have a project that's successful and that will allow them to move out of the financial situations that they're in when you're in the 'hood or in the ghetto. They make it sound like the record that they hear playin' on the radio as opposed to just creating their own lane."

good news
-
i wonder if that material will ever be released on mixtapes.
I really wish 50 would only focus on himself and G-Unit (the group), cause all those other cats that are taking up his time are just causing people to not like the label's music but 50 is the best artist they have (GUNIT, not Interscope/Aftermath)
-
Good, maybe interscope wil concentrate on puttin out sum albums by the dope artists on their label instead!
-
Best news i've heard in a while. 50 is a douchebag.
-
Lloyd Banks' next album will follow shortly after, and Young Buck has also finished his next release.
Haha, I don't care what he says...Spider Loc's obviously gonna be fuming right now. He's been on G-Unit since 2004, yet Banks and Buck are going to have TWO albums out and his still hasn't even been announced.

50 said spider loc album is coming out after young buck
-
These tracks will no doubt appear on the G-Unit Radio mixtapes.
-

Yeah right. I guarantee you Spi is gonna end up leaving the label, and then he's gonna regret getting G-Unit tatted on his hand. Or maybe he'll have the 'i' burned off and replace with an 'o'.
-
welll, i couldda told ya 50 woznt really gonna make an album this year
-
good to know someone is controlling the bitch :sombrero:
-
Olivia, Spider and MOP won't never drop an album.....

Goddamn, what a dumbass. Hip-hop is in a creative rut because of G-Unit releases.

yep true, but can't deny what he said about the South is true too...
-
the tracks he got in the vault now must be a plain disgrace :D
-
i think he just said he'd release another album in reaction to Game's statements
-
not suprising at all, 50 knew he wasnt gonna have a album out for that date, he was just trying to get the talk off game and onto him after xxl put game into the number spot for 2006 anticipated albums, i said it a while back so this comes as no suprise to me............
and what 50 bitching about the south fo? he talking about they simplfiy shit to much and so on, yet the nigga sayin the shit he made for his album will be dated come july! 50 need to step his game up, i gotta feeling alot niggaz gon be taking notes once busta album drops
-
yep true, but can't deny what he said about the South is true too...
I dunno, but I'd think Buck ought to be pissed off at him saying that. Also, if the South sucks so much, why is 50 letting Buck run a G-Unit South division?
-
50 needs a break. He doesn't understand the concept of laying low for a while in order to stay fresh.

What a surprise. ::) Was anyone actually expecting him to release an album this year? Just taking away Game's buzz.

He said South artists were wack, not that they didn't made dough.....

Real talk...his label simply puts out too much product, and it all sounds the same.
