50 Cent is more of a Shady records artist...I bet most of the tracks on 50's album will be Produced by Eminem anyways...However, Rakim's shit is going to be groundbreaking...You know how much time and effort it takes to make a groundbreaking album? Somone needs to change the state of rap, and that somone will be Dre...Rakim has already started promotion for the album (Truth Hurts, 8 Mile OST, Blueprint 2)...This album will change Hip Hop, or at least leave a dent...Just wait...PeACe

50 Cent is 50% shady, %50 Aftermath.

most of 50s album will be handle by his own peoples, with some by dre and eminem.

I'm just saying, I bet Em put in a lot more work than Dre...

Here's A Quote That We Had On Dubcnn From MTV Yesterday Bout 50's Album And Em's Work On It Etc. :

The next project you can expect from the Aftermath/Shady Records camp is from 50 Cent, whose name at present is all over both coasts with all the heat he's dropping on mixtapes - most notably towards long time rival Ja Rule & the Murder Inc label. The album is due out in February followed soon after with the long-awaited debut from Obie Trice : "Obie is in the studio. His album is half-done, we are hoping for spring [for Trice's release] and D12 in the fall. And we've already got songs for that album. We sneak [recording D12] songs in between 50's album. And Obie's album ... expect the same quality as 50's album, from my album, from Dre's album. It's the same type of producers, it's the same type of perfectionists in the studio with every artist."

He went on to explain : "We won't put it out unless it's perfect, I learned that from this man right here." (Pointing at Dr. Dre)

Eminem is said to have produced two tracks for 50 Cent's album and co-produced several more. He did however say his role as executive producer is what he is most happy about : "I'm there doing the mix downs and me and Dre are just overseeing the whole project, making sure that every song is hot, I wish my first album was this hot. That's all I can say. I'm not selling the album. The album is going to sell itself."

Yeah, Dre has done more for 50's album beatswise than Em.

Man..."Get Rich Or Die Trying" is shaping up to be the most anticipated release for next year. I've been reading all these mags today and they all are hypin the album up.
