MTV on 50's new album. "2007 is gonna be my year" Verfasst am: 01.12.2009, 05:24
We managed to squeeze in a few minutes with Fif last week while he promoted his new series of G-Unit street-lit books. The rapper didn't confirm he'd be recording a double album like Whoo Kid mentioned, but he did squash rumors that his next album would be more soul-influenced. "I been listening to more soulful stuff," 50 explained. But he went on to say the album won't veer too far off from what he's already done. "People bought into me and who I am," he said. "I'm gonna keep doing aggressive music. And you know who told me to do that? My grandmother."
While everyone seems to be concerned with G-Unit's decline in sales lately, and their supposed demise, 50 shrugged the lower numbers off as just a temporary pitfall. He confirmed that Young Buck and Young Hot Rod's projects will be the next two G-Unit albums to hit shelves, but Tony Yayo, M.O.P. and the rest will be out when they're ready, he said.
Right now, Fif is focused on his new team — of street-lit writers, that is. He called each of the three already popular authors personally and asked them to pen tales to launch his new book imprint. The rapper said he got into reading more as his touring schedule picked up, particularly his longer flights, and magazines didn't last long enough during the trips. And he was tired of lugging his laptop around. So he decided to set up a deal for G-Unit Books.
Even with his G-Unit businesses booming, 50 is still looking forward to getting back in the booth. He said he's more than ready to come back to even higher expectations. "2007 is gonna be my year," he said. Watch out
