ITTY BITTY TIDBITS: 50 CENT GETS A BOOST WHILE THE GAME GETS PUSHED BACK…

After being leaked on the internet, the release date for rapper 50 Cent’s upcoming album Before I Self Destruct has been moved up.  A statement from Interscope reads:

“50 Cent’s fourth studio album, “Before I Self Destruct” leaked almost a full month before the expected release date. In an effort to combat widespread piracy, the album will now be available in stores on November 16th. The album is currently available for digital pre-order exclusively on iTunes (www.itunes.com). Pre-order consumers will receive the exclusive track “Man’s World” in addition to what post-release date iTunes consumers will receive.”

“Before I Self Destruct” was originally scheduled to drop November 23^rd, but Interscope immediately hopped into damage control once the album leaked on the net. I must say that this definitely a good week for 50! He got free promo from Beanie Sigel’s rant about Jay-Z, signs Beanie to G-Unit and now his album gets moved up.

Don’t you agree?!

Meanwhile, 50’s arch nemesis rapper The Game’s The R.E.D Album was given the red light and has been pushed back. The album was scheduled to drop December 8th, but label bosses over at Interscope decided to push it back to allow him and Dr. Dre more time to work on the project. Using  Twitter as his publicist, he hopped onto his account to break the bad/good news, he writes,

“Album is Officially pushed back, says Interscope so that I can finish wit Dre without having to rush him, myself or the album. Think R.E.D.”

Currently there is no word on a new release date, but we’ll definitely keep you updated!
