50 Cent Says He Wants To Bring A “Different Energy” To “5” But Also Has A Back Up Plan For The Album

    During an appearance at the WGCI Coke Lounge in Chicago, Queens rapper 50 Cent made some interesting comments about his upcoming album 5 (Murder By Numbers). According to Fifty he’s taking a different route for this album and has even recruited what he calls a few “oddball features.”

    The rapper also revealed that if his current plans for the album fall through he also has a Plan B ready.

    “It’s exciting cause I wanted to do something that had a different energy to it,” 50 Cent explained. “Creatively, I kinda created a new little thing to do musically with myself. It’s like oddball features. It’s not exactly what you would expect immediately from me so it’ll be interesting. I’m kinda testing it because I have a Plan B back at the crib. I recorded so many records.”

    While speaking to the audience 50 Cent also went in to detail on the process of picking tracks for his albums.

    “About 30 songs,” said 50 Cent when asked how many songs he creates for his albums. “Before I put out 12 records it’s about 30 records laying there. I pick the better ones of everything that I’ve done. I kinda repeat myself a little bit. Like I make song [that’s] a street record and I go, ‘Which one of these records is the best street record that I made?’”

    5 (Murder By Numbers) is expected to be released on July 3rd.

      1. you a nothing but a bitch if you want another grown man to fail… hope you fail .. oh i forgot you flunked in LIFE

    1. The features are going to be Eminem, Lloyd Banks,Snoop Dogg,Busta Rhymes, Kidd Kidd, Young Jeezy and Schoolboy Q!

    2. Theres no way this cd is coming out on July 3rd. Theres no single out yet def no album coming on that date..and a Plan B means he doesn’t know what the fuck is going on with the album

    3. Im 99% certain he’s releasing it digitally first. In one interview they asked him if it was definitely coming out on 7/3 and he said yea but then only mentioned AMAZON and iTUNES as retailers.

      Hence, why it hasnt leaked yet either.

      1. He talked about trying not to leak bisd by adding the “movie” to the disc so ppl don’t dl it, because ppl don’t want to dl a big ass movie as compared to just the 14somethin odd tracks. So it might be digital first week, lot’s of artists are doing it nowadays.

      1. that can be said for plenty of rappers i dont like but the truth is he hot right now and i cant even hate on that his last 2 mixtapes is killin alot of material out now

      2. you obviously dont know what irrelevant means because your posting a response to a post made about him

      3. 50 Cent Stans are as sensitive as wet clit…his irrelevance is fucking you hard

        he exposed his loneliness in that Oprah interview

        beneath the turtle shell and hard talk, this nigga is sensitive, lonely and weak as a resting dick

        he’s a bully with dictatorship mentality…look at how he treated Game, and Buck…how he still treats Yayo and Banks…they must just follow his lead…he does not develop leaders but followers & worshipers coz he helped them…the minute they dispatch from him, its a problem, he bitches about it

        5years later nigga still brags about ‘Hate it or love it’ contribution…get over it you lonely 50 Cent biyatch and disappear

    4. EARLY TRACK LIST MORE TO COME:

      1. Be My Bitch (feat. Breve)

      8. Lay Down (feat. Eminem) (Prod. by Eminem & Luis Resto)

      9. That Drunk Feel (feat. Rihanna)

      the nuke drops july 3rd

    5. I don’t know why everybody hates 50?
      I think he is still the shit and better than the most new rappers.

      1. Agree. These so called music fans don’t know shyte. Mainstream got them brainwashed thinking MMG and YMCMB are better. Stupid azzes they are. 50 is an ill MC. Tells the truth. Reality rap. Most of the hating comes from jealousy, because 50 be dissing their favorite rappers, who by the way are WACK!! On the real tip.

    6. Releasing it digitally will almost surely be a new low for Fiddy, and will only delay the inevitable first week numbers flop. He should have gotten out from under Lovine by now and signed to another label that is still interested in his vision, cause Interscope isn’t. They’re going to jerk this guy around like Game and laugh while doing it.

      1. dude
        you are so fucking right, soo many people slept on that track
        you should get a name and comment here more often, you seem to know shit unlike 90% of people that post here

    7. dont say you like his shit but dont buy it then complain about the weak shit out now this may be our last chance or we may be trapped with fake bullshit and disney rappers only you have the power to make that shift go get that slaughter house album pick up that nas album great or not nas need to move some units o get krit album lets make that go gold by years end the way it is now the best albums dont move units like the red album and a few others that dropped the premo and bumpy knuckles alubm is fire.

      1. yeah he usually run his mouth about the features if not wayne somebody we least expect like whe puff and jay-z did the get money remix or the 50 and jada track i think it could be a track with banks and joe buddens that was a rumor a few months ago

    8. hip hop has never recovered from the east west beef the young generation picks labels like its gang warfare hip hop use to be celebrated as a whole CAN YOU DIG IT??!?

    9. MARVIN BRENARD TOO SCARED TO COME OUT IN THE YARD !!! YAYO YOU A BITCH !!! G G G G -UNOT
      STOP SNITCHIN AND STOP LYIN !!
      CHICKEN LITTLE KILLED YOU YOU FAGGOT

    10. im interested in whats gonna happen. Props to fif if he actually drops the album on the 3rd. theres only a handful of rappers out there that can do this. even more respect to the fact hes not dropping a single. theres one dude on here say he hopes the album flops hard…wtf dude u got some issues real talk go to some counselling

    11. i wonder what features we gonna get
      these are my guess of features he will have

      ft too short
      ft cam’ron
      ft ice cube
      ft kidd kidd
      ft lea
      ft eminem

      thats all i got in my guesses

      1. Dana you bitch he already did Too Short Imma stop feat. 50 CENT and twista get the fuck outta here now you dumb bitch

      2. dana hahaahaha thats all im gonna say ..

        @vamdal i kno they did that track together for too shorts album but too short said he recorded something for his album ..so something fresh

        and the reason i said ice cube cuz a while back he said he was gonna work with him with movies and music so i figure…
        and him and camron coo now ..

    12. this guy stole Game’s album name F.I.V.E. ——> 5 (Murder By NUmbers)… LOl these 2 rappers stay on each other dick

    13. “its the new way no leaks example carter 4 watch the throne”

      REAL artists release an album in stores. Fuck all this digital bullshit. It’s like artists who do that are afraid that their shit is gonna flop, so they go for a quick buck on-line, then add those totals to their first week sales to make it look bigger. Yes, Jay and Kanye did the same thing, but in their case, they knew they were going to sell big regardless.

      1. what? carter 4 didnt flop or wtt and they went digital first when you press up a cd before the album drops it will get leaked a month early because it takes time to get it out to the stores on the release date and by then you are fucked

      1. Jay Z is holding back the album coz they still looking for that POP record for MTV, Hot ’97 and VH1

    14. The plan B is “oh Jimmy doesnt want me to drop it bla bla bla”

      album is NOT coming out in a week lmao. no tracklist, no single, no nothing. 50’s my nigga, but wtf is he doing?????

    15. 50 give us a single dont be scared to flop,50 cent feat dr dre phsycho produced by dr dre or be my bitch drop one of those fiddy,we dont want itunes digital albums drop a real album in the stores

    16. 59(MURDER BY NUMBERS)

      2.UNITED NATIONS
      3.WITHIN LIGHTS ON
      4.ROLL SHIT
      5.PHSYCHO
      6.IM NY
      7.DEFINATION OF SEXY
      8.LAY DOWN
      9.THAT DRUNK
      fuck lil wayne and rick ross mmg music sound the same with that one lex luger beat

    17. Y’all all sound like B*tches, grow the fuck up & quit talking about flops you PUNK M*thaf*ckas!! ITS ABOUT MUSIC NOT FLOPS DUMMIES!!!!!!!! IF U DON’T LIKE THE NIGGA MOVE ON WITH Y’ALL HATING @SS! ANY PERSON COMMENTING IN A NEGATIVE FASHION ABOUT ANYONE DOING SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE WITH THEIR TIME IS A F*CKING LOSER!! PERIOD, NOW COMMENT ON THAT!

    18. diz nigga floppin hard fuk tryna hit games 95k he might not even reach banks 45k smh how da mighty hav fallen lmaooo

    19. u people r dumb he is releasing it digitally cuz the label isnt supporting it, they want him to push it back to make sure the marketing strategy to promote it is proper so he meets his finale album requirements, he dont care if it dont sell that much he is putting it out to show his fans he is still passionate about making music

    20. cosign that bottom comment, stop bringing up record sales cuz game, rick ross or any of these rappers u are naming r going to out sell what 50 is doing in his career, dude has 2 diamond albums back to back under his belt eminem is the only other rapper who did that.50 has sold over 40 million records worldwide so stop hating on him he makes great music and is a top 10 mc of all time and if u take big and pac off the list cause they are dead he is top 5, and is the only artist in music history after the beatles to have 4 top 10 singles on the billboard charts no other rapper has done that google it if u think its not true

      1. I just think his ego is so big that he’s scared to flop cause that will bring the sharks out and i feel he knows that

      2. Anon, u are nothing but a disgusting dickrider. 50cent top 10????????? I can name 100 rappers that shits on him easily. And Jay z has the most top 10 singles even though I do not like that ugly camel. So eat a dick with all that fallacy drivel u trying to pass off as fact

      3. i’m not a dick rider i’m not talking about old rappers i’m talking about new 50 already proved he can sell i’m just saying when u have your spot in the game they go after you i’m not going to say what race i am but i bet your not black

      4. my bad dog i thought that dickrider comment was directed to me i think thay should make people u a real name but anyway i’m a fan of music i just know whats real but peace to all that live life.

      5. @Knine, so I have to write in Ebonics to show I am black? Lol, I don’t live in the hood and I am very educated

    21. this album will go gold and maybe plat people are tired of hip hop thats out now and he is a international star so he has a chance to move some units

    22. dude is playing with us. Its only a week and no single nor video. Its definetly not coming out next week 3rd July. He will be a hip hop laughing stock

      1. he not dropping a single he just gonna drop the entire project and let the streets do the talking like dmx second album that hit the streets hard heads didnt even know he dropped a second album

    23. You guys really hate 50 that much? I really enjoy his music. I know everyone has a different opinion but it seems like you guys go from riding a artist’s dick to each other’s dicks.. use your brain and make up your own opinion. If you’re one of those people saying 50 is just going for sales please tell me why he makes a music video for almost every song on his mixtapes and released BIG 10 and The Lost Tape.. Free music.. obviously sales are his most important goal right? Cause he’s not already STUPID rich.

      Dude makes new music – you guys say he fell off
      Dude makes street music – you guys say he sayin’ the same old shit

      Anyways.. DL Big 10 and The Lost Tape – then get this album.. stop hatin’ and just listen

      1. ‘dying’ is one of the most commonly misspelled words in the english language, not a big deal champ

    24. I love this business tactic.

      50 says the label doesnt support him so he can only put an album out digitally. If it flops he can blame the label, if it succeeds he can say he won.

      I believe this is a test by Interscope to try digital only distribution by one of its bigger artists. It worked perfect for Jay-Z and Kanye. I bet any money this album isnt gonna leak.

      Literally no one loses money in this deal. You dont have to worry about packaging or distribution.

      Record stores cant whine because 50 is making it look like he has no other choice. And if its successful then theyll put it in stores.

      This is the future its just making it look like something its not.

    25. “ooddball features i aint gonna front this shit got me waiting for the album we already know who he worked with in the past and that plan b shit could only mean a g-unit album

    26. I aint gonna lie i cant wait to hear it
      Its quite exciting because 50 always changes up and you dont know what his gonna come with
      Most rappers now make the same songs over and over again with the same exact people
      Nothing new with a few
      But wait till 50 come through

      Hit em up – THEY WILL HELP U!!

    29. 50’s birthday is the 6th, when he said he’d release it in numerous interviews FYI step ur game up

    30. The Carter IV was released digitally at what midnight? Then it came out the next day. The point was alot of indie artists release CD’s digitally “first” which to me makes no sense. It’s like they’re testing the waters instead of just standing behind their work and letting the sales fall where they may. 50’s sold millions. You mean to tell me somebody worth 300 million dollars can’t get an album released in stores???

    31. Oh and as far as WTT, that strategy made no sense because the people who went looking for it on the first day couldn’t find it. So you had to go to Itunes, which is fine, but it just seems like a ploy for rappers to call their project successful when in the old days if an artist said his album was coming out Tuesday, it came out, and it sold according to the hype. There was no putting it on-line to test your audience to see if they were feelin it.

    32. 50 is flop proof with the amount of records he sold and side projects that he makes millions from i just want a classic album it could do 2k in a week iwouldnt give a fuck because i dont see no rap money as it is now hahaha
