50 Cent Ready to "Massacre" Charts
Rap megastar 50 Cent is about to massacre his rivals--on the charts, anyway.
Massacre, Fiddy's follow-up to his multiplatinum-selling debut, Get Rich or Die Tryin', is finally set for release March 8, his label announced Monday.
The highly anticipated disc has been delayed twice, with its most recent release date having been Feb. 15, the day after Valentine's.
In a brief press release, the laconic hip-hopper said, "Look out, I'm about to do it again."
Not that Fiddy has to say anything to hype Massacre; the disc is expected to rocket straight to the top of the charts when it bows in March.
The Queens-born rapper's debut was 2003's best-selling release and spawned the hit tracks "In Da Club," "P.I.M.P" and "Wanksta."
The 27-year-old's 2004 wasn't bad, either. According to the New York Times, the Eminem protégé pulled in more than $50 million last year thanks to royalties from Get Rich and lucrative endorsement deals with clothing company Ecko Unlimited and Reebok, which makes his G-Unit footwear.
But 2005 is shaping up to be Fiddy's most successful year to date.
In addition to the rapper's sophomore studio set, the G-Unit ringleader is set to appear in his first feature film role (Locked and Loaded) and his first videogame title in '05.
And, in a sign of the times, 50 Cent is the latest rapper in the beverage game, buying a share of Glacéau, the New York-based company behind VitaminWater and SmartWater. vitamin water brand. The hip-hopper's own special grape-flavored super-water from the company is called Formula 50.
But the man known to his mother as Curtis Jackson's first order of business is prepping new material for hungry fans.
The latest single fromMassacre, "Candy Shop," is being serviced to radio this week, according to Interscope publicist Greg Miller. Fiddy's "Disco Inferno" is currently number eight on Billboard's Hot 100.
Miller also confirmed that "Piggy Bank," a song generating controversy in New York, will be on Massacre.
The diss track reportedly takes swipes at rappers Fat Joe, Ja Rule and just married couple Nas and Kelis.
Influential New York hip-hop deejay Funkmaster Flex refused to play the track recently when 50 handed him an advance because the Hot 97 tastemaker feared it would spur violence between the rival rappers.
Not all the tracks on the disc are street anthems. According to early reports, the disc contains a few requisite party tracks "for the ladies" and one tune even gives it up for God.
The disc, executive-produced by Dr. Dre and Eminem, has the "same huge sound" as Get Rich, according to Miller, and features guest spots from G-Unit members Young Buck and Lloyd Banks.
Fiddy is in Los Angeles this week filming the video for "Candy Shop" and will be on Jimmy Kimmel Live Friday to perform "How We Do" with the Game.
