Superstar rapper 50 Cent has claimed that after he has fulfilled his recording contract with Shady/Aftermath Records, he will fade into the background and move on from the rap game. In an recent interview with MTV, he expressed his plans to move on.
“For me, right now, I feel like I love music, so [fans] should expect me to make music afterwards.” “But I’ll make it organically, like [Dr.] Dre makes a record. It may take five or seven years. ... They’ll be looking for my record, like, ‘Yo, come on, when you making a record?’ “
With his latest Lp “Curtis” being rescheduled to be released in September, 50 has gotten the chance to perfect it as well as work on his 4th album “Before I Self Destruct”, the lp originally planned to release before the rivalry with Dipset’s Cam’ron and he exploded.
“I recorded 10 records to the concept of Before I Self Destruct, but I put them aside when I started to create Curtis,” he said. “Before I Self Destruct is scheduled to be released February 4, which is the anniversary of Get Rich or Die Tryin’. And it’ll be my final studio recording for where I’m at, for my deal. I did a five-album deal, and the fifth album is a greatest-hits CD.”
50 even hints at the chance of him walking away from the game in the track “Smile”, where he raps: “Smile n—-a, my next album might be my last/ ... Got what I came to get, the stacks and the stash.”
Always a busy man, Fif is also keeping up work with his G-Unit label, and contemplating whether or not to disappear from the scene, just like his friend and mentor fellow rapper Eminem.
“Em ain’t put out an album in five years.” said 50.”It builds anticipation because he’s away. And he really doesn’t enjoy what comes with the success. He likes to just be away a lot more, just be shy toward people. And then the less common you appear, the bigger your celebrity. So then he isolates himself, [and] he becomes more popular. People are more excited.”

Well 50 never seems to surprise me
And i was first, for the first time =]

The Rap game aint gonna be the same....
that dude is paid anyways. he can do that. i cant. get at me 50 myspace.com/iamhectic
oooh noooo, if 50 left the game. who's going to rep new york/
please 50 extend your contract because I had enough of all these new york wanksta
theres always that dude nas
wonder wats go happen 2 da rest of dem g unit niggas...
HAHAHA FIFTY IS NOTT GONNA RETIRE
the fuckin haters are gonna cry, now who will they hate on?wow
this haters of g-unit will miss 50 the most bcuz they wont have anything to talk about.not to mention the entire hiphop community, i only check most of these blogs if g-unit is mentioned.most rappers and crews just dont interest me, niggas are boring. the shit wont be the same fa real,they make the most news in hiphop and are the most influencial and connected.i think 50 is gonna fall back and go into artist development, jam master jay taught him well.
peace out and hater please dont be mad, is time has come and it was good while it lasted.
i was listening to some classic 50 last night and i can really see why you guys are so mad at 50 lol.dude was a beast when he was broke and hungry and thats what i call reality rap.so respect the nigga for giving you the realness and not making shit up like he still on the corner in queens
i think he's just sayin' that becuz his contract with interscope will be fulfilled...there's so many labels throwing money at this dude cuz they his contracts coming to an end...i don't think he'll retire, i hope not...fuck it he's paid anyway right, he don't really gotta put out albums anymore
50 is gonna be missed anyone says otherwise is a hater but at least the other new york rappper cant get to eat some food at last
if they really do what they say.said then
eminem
jay
dre
50
game
would be retired by this time next year...so its all rubbish
Okay, AGAIN, who's ever HEARD of GoRDoOne?
So what fifity!!!!!!!!!!!
wat a bad one!!!!! w/e atleast we'll here from every once in a while it aint like if he leaving from da game completely
I guess the 50 Cent and G-Unit dickriders are gonna cry now. They will have to find a new dick to slurp on. That nigga is saying this shit because he realize with all the shit he talks about other rappers and how many records they sell, he cannot keep up the pace of his past success. The expectations are too high and he can't deliver. Now every dickriding muthafucka wanna make up an excuse for him. Artist development---try this on for artist development: Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, and the rest of GGGG-Unit? Develope those fucking artist. He got what he came for. The nigga came to establish himself as a fixture in the rap game, not to make a quick buck and leave the game. This nigga has finally realized that he ain't got no longevity in the game. Now what if Run DMC did that? Or L.L. Cool J? Then rap as an art would be gone if everybody made that 1 album or 2 albums or 3 and shook the spot. There would nothing to build on. Shit, MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice got what they came to get. They sold records and made money. Is da rap game not the same? He still paid. This excuse is no better than Master P's or Cash Money after Juvenile left. I got 13 cars I can sell if I need money. Yeah he got paid, but can he still get paid in the rap game? The point is to continue getting paid. If he is going out on top, then make some good music and bounce, but don't make up this bullshit for why he wanna leave da game.
And that's not a diss to 50 Cent. He did what he did, and rap fans can't forget it. 50 Cent and you niggas just need to cut the shit.
50 cent goin retire, game goin retire, who nex???
lol.... Tomorrow in the NEWS section. We C "Rapper Mims Talks of Retirement"
lol. fucking Clowns.. Anyways 50 do wutchu gotta do, Cause Hiphop will be the Same with out Without You. your 2 Next Floppin Albums Arent goin to do nothing for Hiphop.
he s a good rapper when he feels the shit he doin hes like snoop son he jus says shit cuz he got dick riders who ll get the album when he tries he s nice though but its not like he did anything substantial 4 the game except get shot an get in 2 beef 2 hype up album sales an he ain t even get shot 9 times he got shot 3 he ain t gonna be missed unless he do some get rich shit again.
I got a feeling that if 50 leaves G-unit might not make it.
Good am tried of this money ass nigga he gets on my nerves he thinks he fine and all that nigga ain't shit without his money...you can't even understand half of the shit he says...If he gets out of the rap industry that would be good less drama.
50 jus doin a jigga on us..... dnt worry he will still stay in the rap game
na i don think 50 is guna do a jigga he goin to do wat his boy eminem did just disappear for a while exactly how he said it on the article although i wish he would stay!!! dats just ma opinion
everyone leavin the rap game
I don't think he will retire it's all fake or i want it to be
