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.”
