The new music you'll soon be hearing from 50 Cent won't be all that different from what you've heard in the past, he says, and there's a reason for that.
"I'm kinda going left a little bit, but not too far from where my audience already embraced me," he said. "Anything that changes too fast is no good. You shouldn't expect me to come to you with my next album totally different from what you already know. In the history of music there hasn't been an artist that's successful — I did my research, so trust me — that put out an album that was themed with a split personality or more than one type of personality."
Fif said that great albums have different emotions, but that if an artist tries to come with more than one persona it won't work.
"Ask Nelly about Sweat and Suit," he said. "There's been a few — Tracey Lee's [Many Faces], Cassidy's Spilt Personality — none of those projects work because the general public typecasts. So when you give them something that isn't what they want, they'll be like, 'No, that isn't want I wanted. I don't care what you feel like today.' "
50 just leaked the song "Hustla's Ambition" from the soundtrack to his movie, "Get Rich or Die Tryin' " (see "50 Says He's No 'Super Actor' — And Tells Em He's Not A Sucker"). The first official single will be "Window Shopper," a track that appears in the film as 50's character, Marcus, buys a big-ticket item.
