Well, welcome back Curtis! Though it’s been a while since I’d heard anything from 50 Cent, I must admit he goes IN over Cee-Lo Green’s recent release ‘Fuck You’. But the problem with 50 Cent is consistency. I mean, sure he could spit some heat over this remix but when’s the last time he attacked an album like this? Much like pre-Recovery Eminem, 50 Cent lacks inspiration these days and with all his endorsement deals, it would seem he’s outgrown rap – but not too far gone to ignite or rehash a beef with anyone he views as competition. If I didn’t know any better, I’d probably think Kanye is next on 50′s list… again. But what do I know?
50′s short hiatus from rap is likely due to his major role in an upcoming film Things Fall Apart, a film in which he plays a college football player who is diagnosed with cancer. Pictures surfaced earlier this year of a sickly thin 50 Cent, as he had to lose 54 pounds for the role. Can’t get Grammys? Move on to Oscars…
SOUND-SAVVY Says: Nice work 50, but I dare you to make an album this intense…
