06/05/07 - 50 Cent To Retire At The End Of His Contract?

Entreprenegro · 06-05-2007, 10:53 PM

50 Cent is planning to disappear after he releases his next two projects.

However, he’s not planning to follow in the footsteps of Jay Z or Master P and announce his retirement. Instead, the disappearance is Fif’s way of following in the footsteps of label mates Eminem and Dr. Dre.

"For me, right now, I feel like I love music, so [fans] should expect me to make music afterwards," he told MTV in a recent interview. "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?' "

Despite his latest album, Curtis being pushed back, 50 is looking beyond this release. In fact, he’s looking to the end of his contract with current industry powerhouse Interscope Records. 50 says he is only a few songs away from completing his fourth album, Before I Self Destruct (which was scheduled to be released this year before the 50/Cam’ron beef).

His fifth album of his five album deal will be a greatest hits release.

"I recorded 10 records to the concept of Before I Self Destruct, but I put them aside when I started to create Curtis," he says of the project. "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."

Fif doesn’t rule out the possibility of retirement after his contract, and even alludes to it on "Smile", a track from his upcoming album.

"Smile n---a, my next album might be my last/ ... Got what I came to get, the stacks and the stash," he spits on the track.

For now, 50 has his hands full with G-Unit Records, his upcoming solo release and planning his Eminem like disappearance from the game, which he says will make his celebrity grow larger.

"Em ain't put out an album in five years," he says of the man who brought him to the mainstream. "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."

(Editor’s note: While it may seem like 5 years since Slim Shady’s last release, Encore hit store shelves in 2004.)

Snapper · 08-09-2007, 08:28 AM

this is mad old.........

G-Dengi · 08-09-2007, 08:45 AM

Yeh mad old and I doubt he takes any serious break at all. I think as soon as his 5 album deal with Interscope is up, he will be quick to get on some other label or even start his own(?). After hes off Interscope he'll have to hustle with new music cause he needs to have a new beginning so I dont expect a big break.

anonymous · 08-09-2007, 08:50 AM

fuck a greatest hits album...it pissed me off with eminem and its gonna piss me off with 50 now. u got 10 records in the vault 50? them put them the fuck out instead of hidin em from your fans. especially if you're goin to "retire". it's bullshit

Drizzy · 08-09-2007, 11:42 AM
