50 CENT - 50 CENT AVOIDS EMINEM

50 CENT AVOIDS EMINEM

50 Cent is already working on a new album, despite not yet releasing long-awaited LP 'Before I Self Destruct'.

50 Cent delayed his album so he wouldn't compete with Eminem.

The rapper has again delayed the release of 'Before I Self Destruct' - which will now come out in November - and admits it made "good sense" to wait until the 'Real Slim Shady' star had made his comeback before he brought out his own songs.

He said: "I was limited with time on my other projects, and this one, just because the system was in a state of confusion with things changing - the music business itself changed.

"And it was definitely a time where I felt like I was ready and it wasn't a possibility for me to release the record at that point.

"And then the Eminem train came running down the track and I had to get out the way to let Eminem's record go out. Because he had been off for two years, it made good sense for to let him go out first."

Despite not yet releasing the LP, 50 - real name Curtis Jackson - is already planning the follow up.

He added: "My new project, is so far what they've heard from me in the past. It's different things we are doing that they'll be surprised to hear. What creatively, I came up with."
