50 Talks Album Push Back, Before I Self Destruct Dropping February 3rd
by on November 19th, 2008
Originally slated for a 2007 debut, the album was pushed back to a February 4th, 2008 release in order to make way for 50's impromptu "Curtis." "Before I Self Destruct" was then rescheduled again for a March, 2008 release but ended up getting pushed back for a third time to a December, 2008 release.
50 has now confirmed to MTV the new release date and the reason for what he hopes to be the final push back.
"I'm trying to leave the same way I came in," he said Sunday night during "Total Finale Live."
"February 4 [2003], Get Rich or Die Tryin' came out. I drop this album February 3. The time frame. It used to take six to eight weeks for us to position a hip-hop record. Now, it's taking 12 to 14 weeks."
"Just the positioning," he continued. "I'm not comfortable where I'm at right now. My song 'Get Up' is performing great. I'm happy with 'Get Up.' It moved faster than 'I Get Money' at radio. But I'm just looking for the opportunity to present more of my material [prior to the album's release]. It's not the strongest effort on my album; it's just a great start for me."
