Is 50 Cent Reaaaally Back?
I don't know if any of you agree, but 50 Cent fell off since his "Wanksta" days. After hearing his last album, I told myself, "he's done!" Well, the rapper is preparing to release his album Before I Self Destruct in June, which will be his final album on his Interscope contract. The rapper has been involved in a number of feuds, especially with our favorite Correctional Officer Rick Ross. In my mind, these feuds are taking place to create or build hype for his album. This is just my opinion, but I think 50 knows that he needs to bring it this time around or his career is basically over. He's has to get his respect back, and he describes his next album as his "best album to date." The album reportedly, will be darker and yet more aggressive than his previous releases. It's put up or shut up time. Now the question is, will he truly succeed in making a classic album for the masses; gain his respect back and then some? That question remains to be seen of course, but the longer it takes for the album to drop increases the chances for the album to be a success. I was looking at the track-listing for the album, which was confirmed by HipHopDX.com. The track-list has some very impressive producers contributing to this project. He has producers ranging from Dr. Dre, Hi-Tek, J.R. Rotem, Scott Storch, Tha Bizness, Play-n-Skillz, DJ Khalid, Jake One, DJ Premier, and more. I thought I would see Kanye and Timbaland on that track-listing. However, we know that these things are subject to change. I can say that I respect 50 Cent lyrically and I'm a fan of East Coast Hip-Hop, but this album is really going to have to be good for him to get back on top. I can only speak for myself, but I stopped paying attention to his music as I've heard many others say the same thing. I guess we will have to see what happens with this situation. Will he really bring it this time around? I know he's definitely capable of doing so.
