			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span id="more-57895"></span><br />
Bunkering down in the studio making music for his upcoming LP, <strong></strong> <a href="http://hiphopwired.com/tag/50-cent/" target="_blank"><strong>50 Cent</strong></a> has vowed via Twitter not to cut his hair until the as-yet untitled album is complete.</p>
<p>Fif took to the social networking site yesterday and posted the following picture with a caption saying,</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://hiphopwired.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/50shair1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-57900" title="50'sHair" src="http://hiphopwired.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/50shair1.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="360" /></a></p>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>"Curtis not cutting hair until my album is done I'm going hard this time f*ck it. My music is crazy right now.”</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p></blockquote>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p>Fifty has taken to Twitter with reckless abandon in recent weeks after taking over his account.</p>
<p>He recently discussed via tweets the post success of the album that made him one of the biggest rap acts this century, <em>Get Rich or Die Trying</em>,</p>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>"My first album get rich or die trying was the greatest show on earth because people new (sic) I could die right in front of them. Its funny to me, because they were acting like they couldn't die. The biggest difference I can think of since that record is successes. To hate me is to hate success. Good luck when or if you make it just know people are gonna hate you for it. This is true I try to understand what it does for them"</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p></blockquote>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p>It has been reported that 50 Cent may link up with Kanye West to co-headline a huge European tour in the near future.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The fans wanted him to return to his gritty sound that created his image in 2003's <em>Get Rich Or Die Tryin</em> and when he made the attempt, the lackluster sales of <em>Before I Self Destruct </em>solidified the fact that catering to the fans might not always be the best way to fatten one's own pocket.</p>
<p>He has stated, however, that the response overlooks the actual sales, but that's sort of like someone talking trash before playing a game, then losing, then saying ‘Hey, it was a good game'.</p>
<p>Whatever the case may be, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has reportedly been in the works to create yet another album, but this time it will reach out for the mainstream appeal.</p>
<p>So, is this like the "Gangsta's Delight" version of <em>The Blueprint III?</em></p>
<p>Making a major transition from his usual blueprint, there have been rumors that Jackson<span id="more-24970"></span> will be playing fairly this time around and will be reaching out to other rappers for the project.</p>
<p>There have been rumors of the album being titled <em>Black Magic, </em>but there has been no confirmation of such name.</p>
<p>Maybe that whole reuniting New York thing had an ulterior motive after all.</p>
<p>It had also been said that he will be working with producers such as Drumma Boy, Timbaland, Bangladesh and Swizz Beatz.</p>
<p>Well, sounds like another attempt at <em>Curtis</em>, and everyone knows how that one turned out.  Oh well, one can only wait and see what 50 Cent will deliver with his next official project.</p>
<p>He tried to give "Crime Wave" and now he has to go back to the "Candy Shop"...sigh...</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>50 Cent is making plans to bring his ongoing issues with rap associates and former friends to the forefront with a new video.</p>
<p>2009 marked a year of constant beef for Fif, from the back and forth shots fired between himself and Jay Z to the excommunication of former G-Unit associate Young Buck, to the seemingly never ending battle between himself and Game.</p>
<p>Now his “So Disrespectful” diss track where he addresses all three of his foes will <span id="more-21824"></span>be brought to life in a video.</p>
<p>50 announced the forthcoming video during an interview with Dutch radio station, Big 89.5 FM.</p>
<p>When asked about the project Fif confirmed that a video was in the works directed at people who've “crossed him.”</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“There will be a visual for it. The record is working by itself, that one. It just plays with no assistance from the record company, because people like it and personally enjoy it. I wrote that record about people I had issues with that were pretty cool, but at some point, I felt like they crossed me. So I wrote those different things, and it came out good. People enjoy it."</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Be on the lookout for 50's visual for “So Disrespectful” in 2010.</p>

		<title>50 Cent Returns to Origins with “Before I Self Destruct”</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><strong>“I meant for it to be a little harder and what I fell in love with about Hip-Hop and within Hip-Hop...”</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>As Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson gears up for his fourth studio album release, there has been some resistance towards the rapper as it relates to his ability to bring himself back on top of music.</p>
<p>When the cage was opened and “Baby By Me” with Ne-Yo was announced as the single for the approaching <em>Before I Self Destruct,</em> some may look at it and think that the same formula is coming once again from the New York native so anticipation may not be<span id="more-12993"></span> as high.</p>
<p>While speaking to <em>MTV</em> during the video shoot, Jackson stated that this body of work will in fact be a return to form and it will be as if the world will step back into the build up before 2003.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong> “<em>Before I Self Destruct</em> is absolutely harder than Get Rich or Die Tryin' or other projects in between. <em>The Massacre</em> had some real aggressive content on it, but there were other things I wanted to do, like ‘Ryder Music,' ‘Baltimore Love Thing,' ‘Build You Up,' featuring Jamie Foxx. This project [Before I Self Destruct], I kept all of those things out of it. I just made it what I wanted it to be.”</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>The roar of the world has since been brought to a mild meow as it relates to expectations for 50 Cent.  Fans just don't seem to be riding with the rapper anymore after <em>The Massacre </em>dropped and the results have trickled down to those around him in G-Unit.</p>
<p>Raekwon proved with his latest sequel that there's nothing wrong with going with the original formula instead of completely reinventing the wheel and stepping outside what made him blow in the first place.</p>
<p>In order to move forward, it is sometimes necessary to go back to the beginning and revamp the passion that was there from the start.  As the money continues to grow, it can become hard for artists to maintain their initial motivation when it pays to go with what makes cents.</p>
<p>November 23 is but a month away.  Let's keep our fingers crossed.</p>
