50 Cent Talks New Album, Keeping Fans Entertained On Twitter & How Record Companies Can Negatively Affect An Artist's Career [Video]

 

Video After The Jump


50 Cent
taped an interview with CNN's Piers Morgan on Friday. It will air Monday October 31, at 9PM Eastern.



After the interview, Fif stopped backstage for a quick chat to talk about his influence on Twitter, his upcoming album, record companies and Piers himself.



"He's a great journalist," 50 said of Piers. "He's going to make sure the public gets to hear the answers to questions they would actually be interested in."



Unlike a lot of celebrities, 50 actually interacts with his followers on Twitter. He said that should be expected of all entertainers who use the social networking site.



"It allows you the opportunity to reach your base," said 50. "To create something, as a form of entertainment. I think entertainers are supposed to entertain on it."



The G-Unit boss also discussed his upcoming album and how record companies can negatively affect an artist's career.



"You can make great music and it just goes into a slot where people say 'it was done well, but who cares?' You got older material of artists you listen to and you go back and say 'wow, this person was amazing; what happened to them?' The system happened to them. The business of music itself happened to them," he said. "Sometimes the companies don't prioritize things the actual public thinks are amazing and it just falls to the wayside"



He went on to add that his new album is all but finished. He needs just two songs before the disc is complete.

SisQo was never signed to Def Jam so that just made your whole comment stupid and pointless lol. He was signed to Def SOUL. That's like being signed to G-Unit and claiming your on Interscope. Two different labels. RT @crownwalk150: True story.... Sisco didn't do something that Def Jam wanted and they Screwed Him. Didn't promote his second Album. Artist that Suck C*** can put out a Garbage Album can still do number.

I believe people buy albums when they are actually dope,you know like if the album relates to them and if it dont then people just dont support it. Rappers have to have that record that has the streets on fire which is called a street single then they need that song for the radio then they need something for the ladies PLUS they whole album need to be on point so they can have their fans craving for their next album. But they need at least thoes 3 singles for an album to sell. I dont buy albums unless they are worth paying my money for but I dont knock anybodys hustle,especially if they are black. I just hope 50s album has a little bit of everything for everybody so I can buy it but im looking for more of that rough music from fif cause that was his first audience he aimed for and succeeded with
