50 Cent Says Making Mixtapes Is 'Easy'
MTV reports:
Happy birthday to all the cancers out there — including MTV's own Shaheem Reid, Sway and Mixtape Daily go-to girl Whitney, not to mention Jim Jones and the G-Unit General himself, 50 Cent. Fif's born day was Monday, but he's still serving treats. He released his second mixtape in just a couple of weeks, , Forever King, and says in addition to the upcoming G-Unit mixtape, he might put out another free CD prior to Before I Self Destruct in September. Trey Songz is also locked in the studio, and he wants a bigger and better spot. Who's gonna stand in his way?
Finally and obviously, rest in peace to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. Thank you for a lifetime of classic songs, videos, performances and moments. Your genius is eternal.
Don't Sleep: Necessary Notables
Mixtape: Forever King
Headliner: 50 Cent
Co-Starring: Michael Jackson, Gina Thompson, Christopher Williams, Jeff Redd and others
Records We Can't Stop Playing: "Michael Jackson Freestyle," "If U Leaving, Then Leave ... ," "Funny How Time Flies" and "Put That Work In"
Essential Info: We gave you the Forever King preview last week, and the mixtape definitely held us down over that Fourth of July weekend. 50 mixed his street linguistics with a gaggle of timeless music from the 1990s, plus some songs that keep to the here and now. Although Fif has his personal favorites, he gives it up to the man who discovered Notorious B.I.G. as the cat who slides some musical inspiration to him.
"It'll be some more records there playing," 50 said about the tunes already in the lab when he records mixtapes such as Forever King and its predecessor, Sincerely Southside. "Mister Cee plays a lot of that music still. I had Cee send me a CD that he thought would be hot to hear. Production-wise, I wanted them to still feel what the youthful audience feels is hot right now. Writing a remix is easy. It's just putting the words to the scenario. If you have no production plan, that's when it starts to get easy. Mixtape material is easy for me. Two days, three days, [I record it]. I know who I'm talking to."
Five More Throwback Jams We'd Like 50 Cent to Jump On: "I Like" by Guy; "Poison" by Bell Biv DeVoe; "Don't Stop Your Love" by Keith Sweat; "Angel in Disguise" by Brandy; and "My Life" by Mary J. Blige.

I wanna hear a leak off BISD to see where this n**** going creatively. In interviews he talk about writing with concepts and you see it on the mixtapes but we not buying the tapes we buying the album. I'd have bought War Angel and Forever king if it was one cd with a few tracks cut out and the songs finished.

Some of those joints he let go for free I was like damn if he making s*** better than this on the album then damn s*** bout to be different. That Respect It or Check It song the best I heard 50 in a long minute, propb since I Get Money. Why he picked Okay Youre right over Respect it or check it as a street single I don't know... Respect it not too hard and got a melodic enough sound to grab niggas.

PEOPLE SAY 50 IS BACK, TO ME HE NEVER LEFT, EVERY PROJECT HE PUTS OUT IS CLASSIC, EVEN THE TWO MIXTAPES I JUST HEARD, WAR ANGEL CLASSIC, FOREVER KIND IS A CLASSIC, AND AS A ARTIST I AGREE MIXTAPES ARE EASY TO MAKE BECAUSE THE IDEA IS ALREADY THERE, SO YOU ALREADY GOTTA HEAD START, I DID MY MIXTAPE IN ONE MONTH, BUT WHEN I RECORD A ALBUM IT TAKES MORE TIME BECAUSE IM THINKING WHAT CAN I DO THAT NOBODY EVER DID.
