50 Cent's Before I Self Destruct, originally due for a December 16th release, and Jay-Z's Blue Print III, rumored for a December 23rd release, will now be hitting stores sometime in early 2009.
Interscope says 50 was "rushing" to meet the December date but "with the deadline to secure advertising and retail placement for the album imminent," he opted to wait until next year.
Before I Self Destruct will come packed with two Dvds, Before I Self Destruct the movie, and Two Turntables & A Microphone: The Life & Times Of Jam Master Jay (limited edition).
In other news…
Meanwhile, Jay-Z's highly anticipated Blue Print III, will be hitting store shelves sometime in February of 2009.
During a recent interview, Kanye says Jay's album is coming this February.
"We're almost finished with Jay's album, we were almost finished before I dropped MY album" he says.
"Jay's album is coming in February."

Can't say I'm not disappointed, but at least they gon start 2009 off with some heaters....... I was waiting for that BP3 soon though, I can't front.
Kinda disappointed but i dont mind waiting on QUALITY music !
The year is almost over. WTF happened to Em and Dre's albums?? I guess everybody is dropping in 09'.
You know what that means. Relapes and Detox are pushed back as well.
man that shit be killin the buzz...u gotta drop shit when it fresh, like get up gonna be mad old by the time the cd drop, and he not gonna have nothin to keep it buzzin
BP3 hasnt really dropped anything yet tho
its good for 50 Cent as good as a record "get up" was the album hasnt genrated enough buzz to drop so soon, i think he needs to remix that track, or leak something feturing eminem on it that will definatley get shit hyped... on the Jay-z side his gonna sell just coz its called blueprint 3, i think he shud drop it asap with a banging single
i aint surprised
The year is almost over. WTF happened to Em and Dre's albums?? I guess everybody is dropping in 09'.
was there really any doubt??? its beeeeen november and they still have no singles....2009 is gonna start off with a bang....
50, dre, eminem, jay-z, k'naan...
shits gonna be hot...
50 got pushed back because he aint buzzin off of get up, no one wants to hear that shit and so he needs to try something else to get a lil buzz up before he drops..
hov pushed back because hes a perfectionist and is going to give us classic material and wants to make sure its the best music he is capable of making.
damn i guess nobody droppin this year
i hate dudes that do this, but i foung this ill thing on facebook
ht tp: // w ww. facebook .co m/ pages /The -90s/46816 654040? ref= ts
you gotta remove the spaces, but its worth it
50 said on ufc 2nite its coming december 9th
guess whos baaaaaaaaaaaack?
oh well, might as well start off '09 with a bang.
so does this mean Em gets delayed too? since he was supposed to come out after 50.
Em's shit is still several months away. They will let the hype build for that shit for quite a while.
Oh well, I will just have to wait..fuck.
take ya team people, but no dre time though
whats up wit da picture of curtis!??lmao to hell wit 50 but jigga got work to do
Jay kno he coulda made the deadliine...he work better in a short period of time...he said he recorded 7 songs from the blueprint from a friday to sunday(3 days)
Jay kno he coulda made the deadliine...he work better in a short period of time...he said he recorded 7 songs from the blueprint from a friday to sunday(3 days)..but I'll wait for dis classic comin
fuckin shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well I'd rather wait for good music with quality work put into it than listen to some half-assed album that is rushed to meet with deadlines.
yeah i would rather wait just to hear rushed music thats done poorly (example kanye)
Prop This: Jay's album will start the 09 off wit a bang, 50's will be mediocre I predict, but we'll have to see. But a disapointment, but also a good look for the 1st quarter...Learn it.
ReDef.
i know haters gon trash me but thoes were the last 2 cd's i was lookin forward 2 comin out.
im putin my money on luda.
^^cosign
Look everybody! Osofresh1 can count, who woulda known? Thanx 4 clarifyin dat friday-sunday iz 3 dayz long. Wut a fuckin waste of comment space! Screeeeeeeewwwwww!!!
As dissappointed as I am, I would rather hear sum quality LPs then sum rushed overrated bullshyt, da industry need sum "Get Rich or Die Tryin" and sum "Blueprint" n itz lyfe rite about now
damn, more waiting. i swear the suspense is killin me with 50, Em and Hov's joints. iv just about given up on dre and detox, only God and Dre know when that shit is droppin.
Damn, got 2 wait awhile 4 Jay and Kast now.
Man i waited 4 years for the eminem CD, about 8 years for the Detox, and now you telling me i gotta wait another year for them, and 50 cent n Jay-z album are push back now, im getting tired of waiting
is pushin ya album back the new trend?
Cant wait for fifs shit i know he cookin somethin two fuckin dvds god damn kanye played jay he didnt finsh jays album because he didnt want jay to release so soon after him
screwface james you talkin bout me but all you did was talk about me...but i dont comment on defsounds to impress you anyway so get off my d!ck
cant wait for the 50 cent single i think its gonna be banger
i smell bullshit. 50 and interscope jus doin this to amongst " certain company". to make his shit look bigger than it really is
dont care 4 fifty album I'm gonna cop that jay album tho
This iz actually lookin like 09 gonna be the hot year of rap...50,jay,dre,em,kanye(if next album gonna be a rap album),outkast,andre 3000,big boi,joe budden,royce da 5'9 who else.....?Wayne??
man i was looking forward to 50 shit i could careless for jay-z, 50 got 2 dvds comin with that bitch
what the fuck man, n they wonder why we download that shit!
don't get me wrong i mean if its good music, u should support the artist
but fuck it, if it get pushed and pushed back til nobody wanna hear that shit,
be'cuz u heard it already months ago!
DAMN BP3
Bp3 Bp3 Bp3 Bp3 Bp3 Jay tha only 40 year old rapper i want to hear!!!
Jay only doin this to fuck up Padded Room i hate old people
^^NAS2ndGOAT i think it mite be some truth 2 that
i really think pushin back albums is the new thing 2 do. i mean detox was suppose 2 come out like a decade ago n shit and niggas is still wantin it. wonder how long it will take 4 papoose and saigon's shit 2 come out? them niggas bout 2 set a record next 2 detox for the longest pushed back albums
Why do people bother 2 mention saigon's name? He ain't never did shit 4 hip-hop, rap or nothin of any importance. Dat dude will never drop an album and if he does get lucky enuff 2, dat shit won't even sell 6,000 copy's worldwide. Someone tell dat dude 2 hang it up, even canibus had a better career den him and canibus ain't even got no career. Saigon is trash, BOOOOOOO saigon, BOOOOOOOO!!!!
Waiting for that BP3.
Jay better not dissapoint. I was impressed with AG, so I hope this is just as good if not better.
Jay has been close to trash since the black album, lets see what he has in store. By the way in comparison to the rest of Jay-z's catalogue AG SUCKED!! Go take a hip hop history lesson. I dont really give two shits about 50's album, hes had one great album and th e rest were mediocre at best. We all know Em, and especially Dre will have the better product. SO WHY WOULD I EVEN CARE ABOUT FIF?
If you think American Gangster was wack your sleeping on some classic Jay material. I can cosign on the 50 statement. Really only good album was his first. Still waiting on Dre, probably another instant classic. Personally I can take or leave Em. Not that he is wack, just not my shit.
well hopefully we still looking forward for kanye luda jadakiss an others i think....
everybody definitely saw that coming, but it does piss me off b/c that means Em & Dre wont be dropping till mid-09, at the earliest.
50 Cent pushed his album back because his single bricked. Simple as that.
Yo 50's shit is gunna be hott i dont giv a fuck wat anybody says on this shit. Jays shit better be hott too. But seriously trust me on this one BISD is gunna top MASSACRE AND CURTIS. i dont think he can top GRODT but i know that fif is definitly packin heat this time. And i know Jay got sum shit in store for us too. Ems shit is comin rite after and its gunna bump. and then detox which hopefully doesnt take too fuckin long. but it probably will. Im lookin forward to fifs album cuz he said he was goin bac to tha get rich or die tryin feel.
