When being asked about Michael Jackson pushing back some of his upcoming London Shows, 50 Cent replied: “Michael Jackson is such a perfectionist, you know? He is the King of Pop. Until some tops Thriller he’s going to have that, and the odds are it ain’t gonna happen no time soon”
50 Cent attended Bette Midler’s New York Restoration Project’s 8th Annual Spring Picnic at the New Leaf Restaurant & Bar on May 19, 2009 in New York City.
Bette Midler founded the nonprofit New York Restoration Project (NYRP) in 1995 in the belief that clean, green neighborhoods are fundamental to the quality of life, and that every community in New York City deserves an oasis of natural beauty. Seeing many parks and open spaces in dire need of cleanup and restoration, Ms. Midler created NYRP to be the “conservancy of forgotten places,” particularly in New York City’s underserved communities.
50 Cent and Bette Midler first got to know each other when they collaborated developing a public garden in 50 Cent’s old hood Jamaica Queens. Now according to EOnline there might be a duet in the works.
Bette Midler told EOnline: “I was hoping we’d sing songs from the Depression, but he’s so young that I don’t think he knows any of them, I’m going to have to check things out and see what he feels like singing.”
On May 19th both, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and Bette Midler will attend the Restoration Project’s eighth annual spring picnic in New York City’s Fort Tryon Park.
Eminem’s long-awaited Relapse LP is coming out on May 19 — one week from today — and we’ve got loads of Slim Shady material coming over the next couple of weeks. Who better to kick off our Eminem blitz than his biggest protégé, 50 Cent?
The excitement for Eminem’s return is building fast as the May 19 release date for Relapse draws nearer. 50 Cent, for one, thinks that as more music becomes available to the public, the expectations, along with the anticipation, will also ramp up.
“It’s great! I think you should expect it to go up,” Fif explained. “I felt like those [single] choices … personally, I think that the first single ['We Made You'], was one of his better records, lyrically. Obviously, he felt the same way. [But] he’s got some records on this album that are way better, to me, ’cause there was so much material.”
In addition to “We Made You,” the rapper has put out “Crack a Bottle,” featuring Dr. Dre and 50 Cent, as well as the dark, twisted “3 A.M.”
On Tuesday (May 12), Eminem is set to release yet another song, “Beautiful,” that will debut on iTunes. The track is the only one Em produced himself on the album, according to a recent interview he did with Vibe. Dr. Dre handled the bulk of the production on Relapse.
With Eminem back in the spotlight after a long hiatus — he’s also prepping for his performance at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards — 50 scoffed at the notion that, as the more outgoing of the two, their mentor roles have reversed.
“Absolutely not,” he said. “I don’t advise him. When people see him as my mentor, that’s the people who have been paying attention. The people who tuned in after he’s been on hiatus, they just see 50 Cent. But a lot of times, the creative decisions before I present music to the public, I’ll use him as a soundboard. And say, ‘What do you think? Are you sure this is right?’ ‘Cause I don’t have a lot of people I trust as much as Em, because he’s already accomplished so much as an actual artist.”
50 Cent is gonna make an appearance at the Play N Trade store in Manhattain, tomorrow April 30th 2009. He will be promoting his Video Game “Blood on the Sand” from 3:30-5:00 p.m.
The Promotion Even will be held at the Play N Trade Store at 137 E. 13 Street and will include customer meet and greet with 50 Cent.
