50 Cent hasn’t been doing so well on the music tip lately. On the business end, he’s been getting money, but all of it’s based off of the good cache he lodged with 2003’s Get Rich or Die Trying. Since then, his output has been consistently disappointing. Supposedly when Curtis leaked early he tossed a flat-screen out a window. Better watch it when you’re walking around in NY, then.
Because his entire album has leaked one month prior to the release date. There are bound to be some calls at the record company today. You can’t beat the internets. You can try to hide from the internets, but the internets will hunt you down. The internets will make you their bitch, then force you to watch clips of kittens on YouTube. Before leaking an album you’ve worked on for years before you’re ready for it to be released.
Initial impressions? The dude must’ve hired ghostwriters, cause he’s not rapping like he’s half-retarded anymore. At least for half the album. His flow sounds like Eminem’s. Also, he’s almost out of breath for the verses that he wrote, which is just weird to hear. Not even Big Pun was out of breath stringing together syllables, and he was rapping whilst eating chicken and mainlining Kool-Whip. The beats are always sick, but Jesus Christ, quit wasting good beats on 50. He ain’t that good, verbally, and club bangers have moved on.
You can find the album here. We’re not advocating that you download it. But he’s not rapping about how poor he is.

If you read Robert Greene's and 50's book, The 50th Law, you'd learn about the different side of 50. The one where he staged the whole flat-screen throwing episode in order to get control over his own product. Interesting insight to the man.
