Maybe 50 will surprise some folks.. Looks interesting...
50 Cent tells MTV Mixtape Daily that upcoming tape is'the best body of work I put out in the mixtape circuit.'
MTV Reports:
The Overdose: A Mixtape Daily Exclusive
Expect the unexpected. The game moves so quickly, and we're prepared for anything, so you should always look to us to document it. TwoMixtape Daily articles in one day? (Make sure you peep that Fire Starter!) Why not if the content's there?
We were prepping a real ill Behind the Beats to land Friday morning, but everything got put on pause when 50 Cent decided to phone in. TheG-Unit General is putting out a project of all-new material called War Angel LP on Tuesday via ThisIs50.com. He says it's more like a street album than a mixtape. Fif -- who's in L.A. right now recordingBefore I Self Destruct with Timbaland and Polow Da Don -- said he's throwing heat rocks all summer long,then dropping his official LP in September (dare we dream he drops the same day as Jay?).
"I'm finnin' to get on the street, you already know what time it is," he said via cell.
The tagline for the project is "Prepare for Total Destruction."
"You know what it is, it's a conflict," Fif described. "The exact opposite. I didn't want to write AngelDemon. It's not the contrast between good and bad. But ... if someone's at war, I'm sure they're saying their prayers. They believe they haveangels around them. What would you call an angel around a soldier at war?"
A War Angel, of course.
"That's why I titled it that," he added. "Creatively, this is not even a mixtape. That'swhy I put LP next to it. ... My core audience will understand it immediately, and it's written specifically for that."
With such a potent title, some people are obviously expecting him to go at his last known enemy: Officer Ricky. Fif said that's not the case.He's done with the Miami MC.
"You're gonna see," he promised, before explaining why the beef with Ross is over. "I think if you don't identify when you've won arace, you'll continue to run victory laps until you've exhausted yourself. There's nothing else to win in the Rick Ross situation. There'snothing else to do to that guy from my perspective."
So who will 50 be firing missiles at?
'It's not a specific target, a specific person, I'm writing about," he clarified. "When you hear it, out ofall the material I put on the street, you're gonna say that's the best body of work I put out in the mixtape circuit, period. The way the mood of musicis right now, when they hear what this is, they'll say, 'That's what we needed.' "
More 50 Cent underground releases will follow in just a few short weeks.
"I have two other tapes to follow it," he revealed. "Fourth of July, Sincerely Southside Part 2 coming out withmostly '90s music on it. Timeless music, classic hit records. Then, after that, there's a G-Unit mixtape. It's actually untitled. I'll befinished with it in the next day or so."
The War Angel LP track list, according to 50 Cent:
1. "I Line N---as"
2. "Talking in Codes"
3. "OK, Alright"
4. "Redrum (Murder)"
5. "Cream 2009"
6. "I'll Do Anything"
7. "London Girl"
8. "AK"
9. "Get the Message"
10. "I Gotta Win"
