A NEW LOOK |
Posted on 2010-05-27 |
| 50 Cent is expected to go left on his upcoming 'Black
Magic" album, straying away from typical Curtis Jackson topics that
helped him climb the charts as one of the most successful acts in
history. But on his new effort Fif says fans should expect a more
mature sound with inspirations from the likes of Notorious B.I.G. and
Tupac "I listen to those records to create expectations," 50 told the
Detroit Free Press. "It creates a level to me, within myself, of how
good the record has to be before I'm ready to launch it." |
