50 Talks Album Push Back, Before I Self Destruct Dropping February 3rd

by Jokesta on November 19th, 2008

MTV news recently caught up with New York rapper 50 Cent during TRL's final show on this past week. The rapper who also has a reality show running on the network, gave some insight on why his highly anticipated album, Before I Self Destruct, has been pushed back yet again.

http://media.defsounds.com/uploads/assets/1484/1508/11376/asset.jpgOriginally 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."

I cant blame 50 for wanting to make sure his album is hot but its impossible to try to compete with get rich or die trying. He should just make some gangsta tracks and a few club bangers and hes straight.

I think its good to push the album back, I mean, he do that for a reason…But I cant say im not dissapointed, I was really looking forward to hear BISD and Relapse…Now we got to wait for that too…I hope BISD comes in January, then Relapse in February, and Detox in March, that would be great.

what good pimpin. dickriders are the third worst niggas on earth, behind sex offenders and snitches. lmao. one point about these dickriders(stans if you will), they will call your favorite M.C. wack, and as soon as you call their favorite rapper wack (there is a difference between M.C.‘s and rappers, just ask and i’ll explain) they call you a hater for expressing you opinion. whats up with that shit.

Murder Inc how da fuck u gon talk bout 50 wen dis nigga single handely shut down da whole murder inc label, and made them niggas change their name from murder inc to the inc. 50 aint neva been hiddin in his crib, dis nigga gave fat joe his whole schedule afta joe said he wanted to box and he still aint step up to fight 50. so wat da fuck iz u sayin 50 scared to come outside, dat shit dont even sound rite. and if u paid attention to da g-unit/murder inc beef u would know 50 aint no snitch bitch. if u waz a tru ja rule fan and u knew wat u waz talkin bout, you would know dat ja said he probably aint even droppin dat mirror album cuz its too much bitch shit goin on in hip hop. do yo fuckin research first b4 u talk shit faggot.
