[Shady/Aftermath's] 50 Cent shelves most of his existing music in favor of the Doc's fresh beats.
By Shaheem Reid, with additional reporting by Tim Kash
NEW YORK — OK, now the lane is clear for 50 Cent to do his thing.
Fif has delayed his Before I Self Destruct LP a few times over the past year, but now, with Eminem's Relapse project in the can, G-Unit's human epicenter has been able to get more of Dr. Dre's attention and beats.
Last week, while in New York promoting his "Blood in the Sand" video game and taking a break from shooting his next film, "Twelve," Fif explained his refocusing on the album.
"I just got back from Detroit — prior to me starting 'Twelve' — [with] Em and Dre finishing up the record," he said. "It's clear for me now, creatively, 'cause we got Em completed. His album is mixed and mastered and ready to be presented to the public."
50 said going back in with Dre caused him to shelf most of his existing material in favor of working on new music. "It's about 30 percent of what I had when I felt like I was finished," he explained. "The production, Dre made a lot more of the music that's on the actual album now. I rewrote some concepts."
Fif said he changed his tune about some of his songs because they sat so long.
"To me, sometimes it would sound like I'm absolutely out my mind if I played you the music," he said, implying that he put some potential hit records on the back burner. "But it gets dated. I've been playing it for myself for so long, I'm no longer as excited as I was when I wrote it for the first time."
50 has not yet announced a new release date for Before I Self Destruct.

i thought outta control rmx part 2 could be on here :laugh:
there are much more likely to be some clubs style bangers on here than ems album. wonder if they'll be able to get a single good enough to really make noise though.

I don't think so...50 had to change up his game plan because BISD was shaping up to be complete shit regardless of the Rick Ross beef.
-
^^^ You may be right, and when he heard how well his competition did he had to go back and do an audible. For months they were talking about BISD then Relapse then Detox and then he saw how Ross' album wasn't a fluke so he had to step his game up. And 50 cares very much about this beef, maybe not 2 the point of a Ja Rule beef (that was different) but it's still relevant. 50 is a smart dude, he ain't about to go out like that.
-
Agreed with Matty, this is much more anticipated than Relapse. All the productions for Em so far sounded a lilttle dated but Get Up and I Get It In were superb. It's a shame while 50 did his thing on Get Up, he completley ruined I Get It In.
-
I fuckin' hated "Get Up" it only got catchy when he used it for his show. That beat is so simple and boring. Now "I get it in" was the shit. More than half of America would probably agree if we heard em both completely finished.

only if nicole is featured again and is naked in the video.

Rick Ross will struggle to go gold when he has tons of push behind him how exactly is that check mate?Rick Ross is a gold artist and will never see platinum in his career.

Honestly I never was anticipating BISD. Haven't been impressed since GRODT. 1/3 is not a good track record. I wasn't really all that hyped about Relapse but was hoping it would be dope. Now I have absolutely zero expectations.
Detox is the only thing I care about. Seriously, can both albums and go ahead and drop Detox. Why the fuck would you even further delay an album 10 years in the making that has already been delayed and canceled multiple times, eagerly anticipated since day one, and the successor to two undisputed classics, to focus on 50 who just released a mediocre album last year, and Em who's last album wasn't impressive either? that's just bad business.
-
I think him going back in will ensure a better product and I personally think that he wont be allowed to get away with his lazy ass flow that he has been on since GRODT.... I think they wont release until they are happy but I hope they dont delay this coming out to stop the Relapse 2 which is the one that Em has apparently said is what he and Dre wanted to drop as the original!.... Maybe that part can get cleared up by Chad in the Dre interview?
