Somehow, this doesn’t strike the same sad chord as Jay-Z’s fake retirement. 50 Cent, who appeared on TRL yesterday with Bow Wow, is saying he may leave the recording biz after his contractual requirements are complete. Knowing 50, this is a ploy to get people to buy more of his records. But I’m holding out hope.
The In Da Club hit maker admits he has two more albums and a possible Greatest Hits package planned under his current record contract and then he has no plans to release anything else.
He told MTV News yesterday, “I already recorded 10 tracks for my next album, Before I Self-Destruct, and that record will come out February 4th. So Curtis (is released) June 26th, (Before I Self-Destruct) February 4th… and then they’re gonna put out a greatest hits album but my album requirements are completed.”
Here’s the thing. As much as I am completely uninterested in 50 Cent’s music, I’m kind of concerned that this rumored retirement is spurred by his desire for a movie career. Having seen a snippet of Get Rich Or Die Trying, I’m not sure that’s the most logical career path.

That outfit makes 50 look like a ghetto Ronald McDonald.

Prayers are answered and this is proof. Toss the two albums and the “Greatest Hits” and I’ll be giving away all my money to the poor henceforth.
No no no people! If he’s leaving the music business then he’ll probably try to immerse himself fully into acting or some other skill where we will still have to see his face. It’s not over…god help us…it’s not over.
