Fiddy's Curtis Running Late
The wait just got longer for the long-awaited new 50 Cent album, Curtis, as the rapper's label announced the planned release on June 26 was being pushed back until until Sept. 4.
Ostensibly, the delay will allow the multiplatinum-selling rapper to drop the album simultaneously in the U.S. and around the world.
"I'm an international artist. My fans worldwide deserve to receive my album at the same time as my fans here in the U.S.," Fiddy says in a statement. "Taking that into consideration, moving the album to September was a necessary course of action."
Of course, there's speculation that the postponement may have been a way to drum up some buzz for the album, which takes its moniker from Fiddy's real name, Curtis Jackson, after a tepid radio response to the first two singles, "Straight to the Bank" and "Amusement Park."
According to Billboard, since being released earlier this month, the tracks only rank at 49 and 53, respectively, on this week's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart.
The release of Fiddy's last album, 2005's The Massacre, was also plagued by scheduling changes. Originally called St. Valentine's Day Massacre, the disc was supposed to be released Feb. 15 of that year. It was pushed back to Mar. 8 and then finally released on Mar. 5, because, Interscope claimed, bootleg copies were beginning to proliferate.
The new album, which will be his third solo release, features an all-star roster of guest producers and vocalists, including Eminem, Dr. Dre, Akon, Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, the Black Eyed Peas' Will.I.Am, Timbaland and Pharrell. Like his previous effort, Curtis underwent a name change after the rapper decided to save his original title, Before I Self Destruct, for his retirement album.
For Fiddy fans disappointed about the release switcheroo, there's some consolation. While the album won't be on sale June 26, 50 Cent will appear live at the BET Awards that day and give viewers the chance to pick which single he'll perform on the show via text messaging.
Meanwhile, Fiddy is currently costarring with Jessica Biel and Samuel L. Jackson in Irwin Winkler's limited-release Iraq drama Home of the Brave and on the tube in a VitaminWater commercial—in which he leads a symphony orchestra in a rendition of his hit "In Da Club," featuring DJ Whoo Kid on viola.
Other projects in the pipeline include a role opposite Robert De Niro in the post-Katrina cop thriller New Orleans and starring with Nicolas Cage in a boxing flick called The Dance.
