50 Cent Dropping New “War Angel LP” Tuesday, Plots More Mixtapes

50 Cent called into MTV’s Mixtape Monday to announce that he will release a new “street album” called War Angel LP next Tuesday, July 16th, through his ThisIs50 Website. Releasing a mixtape to the masses is usually a first step for rappers with a new album coming out, but Fiddy was quick to explain that this is more than a mixtape, as War Angel will feature all-new material and that it’s “the best body of work I put out in the mixtape circuit, period.”

War Angel will help fans bridge the gap between now and September, when 50 Cent will finally unleash his oft-delayed Before I Self Destruct, which will reportedly feature production from Dr. Dre, Timbaland and Polow Da Don. “I have two other tapes to follow it,” the suddenly prolific 50 added. “Fourth of July, Sincerely Southside Part 2 coming out with mostly ’90s music on it. Timeless music, classic hit records. Then, after that, there’s a G-Unit mixtape. It’s actually untitled. I’ll be finished with it in the next day or so.” Scoop the War Angel cover art and track list over at Mixtape Monday.

Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 is also due out this autumn, with September 11th the targeted release date. Rap fans will remember the classic September 11th, 2007 match-up between Kanye West’s Graduation and 50 Cent’s Curtis, a sales battle that West eventually won. It begs the question: Will 50 schedule a redux battle royale against Jigga?

A street album? The dude’s raking in millions from his vitamin water and cd sales. Look at him.. he wears suits now too. I think he’s lost his street cred quite some time ago.

@75 Cent

The mob and other criminal organiations wears suits as well. Are you saying that you can’t be gully with a tailored suit??, be serious.

abel | 6/12/2009, 4:38 pm EST

CJ | 6/12/2009, 4:56 pm EST

Let’s go need him to redem himself from the Curtis but still one of my favorite raperrs

50 Cent was by far my favorite rapper about 5 years ago. Unfortunately he’s not hungry anymore. HOWEVER; i did see him and G-Unit open for Fall Out Boy in Dallas a month ago and G-Unit put on one helluva show! They had all of the teeny boppers goin crazy.

Jay-Z sucks. Isn’t he like 50 years old? His rhymes are gah-bidge. That new song has a great beat but the lyrics are stupid. I read that he wrote that song about a Wendy’s commercial (or something like that) that had autotune in it. Ooooh. Deep.

Deff in my top 10 50 is gonna bring the heat For sure if your a 50 fan yo know his tapes are crazy.

Willson | 6/12/2009, 5:41 pm EST

@ 75 Cent if you used to sell drugs and can go back to your neighborhood 500 mill bank account with no prob I think the streets respect you.Ps suits dont make the man

nit picker | 6/12/2009, 10:09 pm EST

June 16th, not July 16th, right?

Clarke27 | 6/13/2009, 12:27 am EST

Just cause he wears suits don’t mean he lost his street cred, besides if you watch him on bet he’s always wearing regular cloths, so get your shit right before you start hating.

Pramzilla | 6/13/2009, 6:35 am EST

This is soooooo funny looool Since when do you judge someone’s street cred by what they wear?? lool. The haters below me obviously don’t know that their rappers wore a suit at least once in their life loool!!! It’s blatingly obvious that the haters below me are jealous because of 50’s money!!! 50 has always been loyal to hip hop since day 1 and he has never lost any street cred because he has been real!!!..Get ready for some MAJOR fireworks from WAR ANGEL!!

blah | 6/13/2009, 7:22 am EST

who the hell cares. rap is a joke and always has been.

me | 6/13/2009, 9:37 pm EST

boo | 6/14/2009, 1:38 am EST

yawn…50 is a cartoon character and anyone that takes him seriously is clearly missing the joke. Jay’s sick lyrically but kinda boring now. rap is in desperate need of something fresh. Suburban whites need something new to copy stat!!

ALIEN | 6/14/2009, 7:55 am EST

Jay Z has been wearin suits for so long. besides 50 hasnt changed a bit. da reason is dat its only been 6 or 7 years since he left da streets.
How can u just forget about 20 -25 years of struggle in a few years.
Oder rappers just hate him bcos no one ever connected wid da international market so well while maintain his gangsta rap image.
War Angel will be sick. And by da sound of it so will da sincerely southside album wid da 90s classic stuff.
And den will come da big bomb
BEFORE I SELF DESTRUCT
HAIL KING 50 !!!

mikeky | 6/15/2009, 10:11 am EST

ok, i had to go see an eye doctor due to exposure to the blinding teeth in that picture. who pays for that?

do they make teeth like that on planet earth now?

erik | 6/15/2009, 3:13 pm EST

i hope 50 goes against jay, 50 sucks and is pretty much complete trash.

MC KING | 6/23/2009, 4:52 am EST

just cuz he is wearing suits it dont mean he lost his street credit, 50 been in the rap game for a long ass time way before he came famous with G-Unit. 50 is reported to be the most bankable artist is hollywood he brings out 400 million for his Vitamin water 36 million for his clothing line and banks more than 100 million dollars for each album he has, and im pretty sure he has other companys out there. 50 has not lost his street credit or never will he is the greatest rapper alive!!!!!!!!

d-drop | 6/23/2009, 9:00 pm EST

fif iz da shit. nd just cuz he wears a suit how does he suck. nd anyway let me say sumthin. how da fuck do people get da fuckin idea dat lilwayne iz betta den fif. lil wayne talks bout licking a lolipop. while fif gives us this hardcore shit that iz 2 times better than what lil wayne writes. i dnt wnna hear bout licking a lolipop, i wnna hear bout da shit out da hood, da rugs, everything that fif writes i wnna hear. fuck lil wayne. stop making a guy dat iz so far beneath fif look so popular.

Poetic Skillz | 7/1/2009, 5:51 pm EST

Both are way too commercial these days, never liked Jay, and really only liked 50 first album.

Poetic Skillz | 7/1/2009, 5:55 pm EST

Neither 50 nor Jay are all that… Hold it down for true hip-hop artist that remember what it was really about: Common, Nas, The Roots, Mobb Deep, Black Sheep, The Pharcyde….

Tank dawg | 7/25/2009, 10:00 am EST

Jay is the best cum on now who u know lock down rap 4 8 summers put out 2 cds with kelly vol2 the whole cd was on the raido n dallas 50 blew up off dre n eme jay had dash n he dont fuck wit him on more jigga is the best hand down

ray | 9/15/2009, 6:17 pm EST

Jigga’s Blueprint 3 was 100 times better than anything 50 has ever did. He would murder 50.
