50's New Album Pushed Back to 2009

(andPOP) - Mega rapper, 50 Cent, will not be dishing out any new CD's to fans for Christmas this year. According to MTV News, unfortunately, the new album "Before I Self Destruct" has been pushed back until 2009.

"The beginning of '09" said the record label in a press release on Friday regarding their timetable for the green light of the album.

50 has put out a single of "Get Up", and promises some other teasers before the album is put on shelves.

He told Mixtape Monday of a Dr. Dre-helmed track he "stole" from Eminem during their recording session in Detroit a few months ago. 50 did note that Slim Shady did give him his blessing to use the record.

"I said, 'Let me see what [Dre did],' " 50 recalled with a smile while speaking on the video set of "Get Up." "Last time I recorded The Massacre album, I was in Orlando [Florida]. I went in the computer there. That's how I found 'I'm Supposed to Die Tonight.' It's interesting. With 'In Da Club,' D12 [who the beat was intended for], had the production started my career."
