50 Cent - 50 Cent Likes Leak

50 Cent "feels good" that his album has been leaked on the internet.

The 'Candy Shop' rapper has been forced to bring forward the release date of 'Before I Self Destruct' from November 23rd after a version of it became available online, but says he's glad the album was leaked in its entirety.

He said: "I'm pushing the record up; it'll be out on the 16th. I'm expecting it to do good because of the response I've heard on the web. I feel good that it was leaked in its entirety, in sequence. So people can hear my vision."

The record was originally due for release over a year ago, but was held back by a number of internal problems at the rapper's record company, Interscope. The record was originally designed to be released simultaneously with a film of the same name, although the film's release has yet to be confirmed.

50 can meanwhile be seen appearing in British gangster film 'Dead Man Running'.
