50 Cent had planned to release a new album this July, but thanks to the intervention of Eminem, the album has been held back.
"Em didn't agree with me," 50 revealed. "I get a little frustrated from time to time and I got so much material that I make that isn't being heard that I was like, 'Yo, I just wanna release an album again.' And he was like, 'Nah, you gotta wait.' I don't care about none of that [timing], I just want the record to go out, but it just makes better sense to take our time and re-create the new album."
50 predicts that this material will not make the album when it is eventually released, simply because by that time it will be outdated by his creativity. "I'll have so many new ideas that I wanna write something else,” he said. “I don't ever receive the credit I'm supposed to receive for my music. I receive all the checks I'm supposed to receive, I just don't receive all the trophies. But I'm cool with it. I just look at it like I should continue to dominate with it more. I'll get lifetime-achievement awards opposed to best-new-artist awards, so it's cool."
Interestingly, 50 also said he was keen to put his new material out because modern rap is not innovative enough for him. He feels the music is too basic for his liking and that it is in actual fact eroding hip-hops quality. “A lot of the music that comes out of the South is kind of simplified and I think it's kinda 'cause they just wanna have a good time. They don't wanna think about what [they] just said...when they don't take the time to make it the highest quality possible, it hurts the actual hip-hop [genre]. People wanna make music they can get away with as opposed to the best possible music they can make.”
"They'll lower the grade of music," he continued. "It changes the range you can go and then it causes confusion amongst artists that don't have their own direction at that point and they all start making music that is similar. Like if the record comes out and it's a hit and it's the simplest thing on the planet, all of a sudden the new artists start writing records that are similar to that hit…they make it sound like the record that they hear playin' on the radio as opposed to just creating their own lane."
