50 Cent announced the launching of his film company Cheetah Vision at the Sundance Film Festival today (January 19).
According to The Associated Press, 50 revealed Monday that his film company has already purchased eight scripts and the first script it will be producing is The Dance which will star himself and Nicholas Cage.
"(The script) was previously passed around a little bit but both me and Nicolas Cage had an interest in the film so it will still happen," 50 said. "[Cage] plays the founder of a boxing program, and I play a fighter who goes to state prison".
"They are all different types of movies that I bought the rights to, and we're developing projects," the rapper added. "You will see different things from me in the future.
50 Cent will be making his directorial debut via his film Before I Self Destruct which will be a free DVD packaged with his forthcoming album of the same name.
50 revealed that Before I Self Destruct has been pushed back to a March release. The album had been slated for release next month.
50 Cent fans can expect to see the rapper grace the big screen this year. The G-Unit honcho will appear alongside Val Kilmer in the cop drama Streets of Blood. 50 is also attached to two other movies which are currently in production, 13 and Dead Man Running.

Hmmm.I don't know about his acting chops but maybe he will improve
-
how many more 50 Cent topics are you going to open? :-\
-
it'll keep getting delayed. his latest single won't make much of an impact, it's not good enough. he has to drop an actual 'in da club' part 2 or its over...
-
Doesn't this mean that Em album will get pushed back also...& Dre is propably pushed back to next year like always.

No. That means that Em will come out before 50.
-
well 50 would have to get delayed back even more as em won't be dropping before march will he? they might as well drop it all asap - normal americans will have better things to spend their money on as the economy worsens. i'll be downloading both 50 and ems albums but i'll cop detox for sure 8)

let's cross our fingers that this will happen :D
hopefully Bishop will put out another (street) "single" this year that's produced by Dre.
Rain for example 8) probably won't happen though :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I like Bishop but too bad it wouldn't make a difference, only thing we would get is a good track but still no album.
As soon as Jimmy ILoveMe finds out that the single aint creating any buzz in the faggot fruitcake skateboarder male model groups or their silicone lips & tits milfsluts, it doesn't matter. :-\

true, no question about that, but it's better than nothing, right?
and you already know that bishop is losing his patience, so we'll see whether bishop is as loyal as he claims to be ;)

id rather he didnt tbh, otherwise itll end up like Curtis again with 50 having like 3/4 singles released by the time the album drops

i hear ya; but he HAS to drop another one before it drops anyway if he wants to sell at all.

I hate this new way majors have of dropping 2 or 3 or even 4 singles before an album.its idiotic.its why hip hop albums have no legs.you release one single then then album then each single released pushes up sales and gives the project longevity.but with they use all the budget before the album drops and then 80 percent of the albums sales are first week because its got no singles left to push the album.
-
^agreed.
think about Curtis.
I Get Money
Amusement Park
Follow My Lead
Straight To The Bank
Ayo Technology
Fully Loaded Clip
thats six tracks right there that just saturated to radio before the album dropped.
not saying these were good songs; but when i first listened to the album it took a lot away from it when i heard songs i heard like 100 times before.

lol, i hear ya.
just its so thrown at you its hard to avoid lol.
50 should just do a better job at holding on to his songs & not letting them leak.

true, sometimes it's inevitable :P

Or another great move by majors is killing an artists buzz.they have a monster single but then push the album back for 3 months then it flops.majors have no idea what their doing

True that man! 8)

definitely true. major labels have lost the plot. they might have known how to get numbers before but not anymore. doesn't apply to 50 right now though cause he doesn't have a monster single. his new single was a step down from the previous one (get up). 50 is pure fail.

i think 50 just has to understand that he isnt going to sell with that he has given us so far.
what 50 has to realize is that just because no one is buying it, doesnt mean he can just throw out wack music.
sales are overrated. the best hip hop doesnt sell at all. if you want to sell, you have to become a sellout (I.E. Wayne & Kanye).
-
he doesn't have to sellout, he already tried that with curtis. his only option is to drop some groundbreaking singles that will be big international hits. unfortunately the industry seems to have dried up when it comes to innovating and making good music.
remember the nelly furtado/justin timberlake albums. pure innovation on the sounds, tim and danja making some stuff that was pop and good music at the same time. i would have thought that dre of all people would be able to give 50 the fire musically to have some smash hits internationally but so far this has not been the case. the business logic behind dropping anything mediocre or even just plain good is complete failure right now. my only assumption is that dre is saving all the good shit for himself/em and couldn't give a crap about 50 not doing so well. strange though cause i would have thought the people at interscope might want 50 to do really good numbers $_$

perhaps 50 cent is to blame for that; no wonder that I Get It In reminds us of Just a lil bit
-
maybe but 50 normally knows how to not ruin a crazy beat. remember outta control rmx, pure fire :laugh: 8)

Personally, I think he needs to sort out his hook game. From 2003 to 2005, all his hooks were the shit, but since then he hasn't been able to live up to them standards. Basically, none of the hooks are as catchy as back then and I think that is part of the reason that his singles are failing. Examples:
Wanksta
In Da Club
If I Can't
P.I.M.P.
Candy Shop
Just A Lil' Bit
Window Shopper
All those had catchy hooks. Get Up and I Get It In just aren't particularly catchy.
-
you forgot about this one 8)

also although 'get up' didn't have the best hook it was very catchy from a musical perspective. can't say the same for 'i get it in'.

Sorry :laugh:

I definetly agree that his hook game is weak lately. GRODT Ost and Yayo's cd was the last time his hooks were great. Because 50 was never a super lyrical rapper but he had a unique delivery and great hooks. He proved on Play This On The Radio, Heartless Monster and Premo track that he can still flow his ass off but I am still not convinced about the hooks. Poor beats and wack hooks were the biggest problems of Curtis and T.O.S.. His ear for beats has luckily returned (Get Up and Get It In are both crazy instrumental wise) but the rest... Then there's also his singles; where he sounds very forced and unrelaxed, desperate to try and recreate In Da Club. My advice to 50: get drunk or high and then write a single.

^you guys are forgetting the great hooks he had on The Documentary.
honestly, i wouldnt be surprized if some of that shit would have been on The Massacre. :-\

what about Hold On then?

You're forgetting that that was released in 2005 ;D
-
50 has a reasonable fan base. the same people that bought curtis will buy his new album and imo not too many more. he could drop the album in two weeks or two months it wouldn't have a big impact on the sales. that's presuming he keeps releasing so-so singles.

no, i remember & i know what you mean by that; but i dont think you guys understand all the great hooks he has had in his day.
i mean, imagine no Game in 50's life & some of that shit was on the Massacre...
he would get so much more respect lmao.
but i dont expect that, nor do i expect a great album.
you cant expect anything with 50 Cent, i hope for a solid album.
one better than The Massacre & Curtis, but clearly it wont be able to top Get Rich or Die Tryin.
call it wishful thinking. ;)
-
Artists are pushing albums back like it don't matter, personally the more they push it back the less I look forward too it, it also let's their leaked tracks get played the fuck out... like "I get it in" which was weak to begin with should be taken off... & I liked Get Up but that shit is over played now,,, should be taken off too... wtf 50?
