50 Does R&B?
left For his next release, Before I Self-Destruct, the Queens emcee plans to employ a heavy dose of Motown samples as the bedrock of the production, according to several reports. He’s even employing a well-known R&B producer, D.C.’s Rich Harrison, to contribute to the record, according to VH1.com, which also noted that 50’s been inspired lately by artists like Smokey Robinson.
While some might see these decisions as Fiddy flipping his steez, he thinks he’s taking the sort of risk allowed by his meteoric success. "I'm in a space where I can experiment a little bit,” he said, a privilege afforded by album sales over 20 million since 2003.
His last album, The Massacre, was a commercial success but received uneven reviews from hip hop fans, many of whom were not fond of the record’s R&B hooks.
Interscope Records, 50’s label, did not respond to requests from VIBE.com to confirm reports.
