50 cent album pushed back and Michael Jackson sued


X
50 cent has decided to push his album back to early 2009. The move comes as 50 Cent was rushing to get his album finished for a December release, however it is not complete. With the deadline to secure advertising and retail placement for the album imminent, he decided to move to a date in early 2009. It will also include a DVD, of a 90-minute film, also titled Before I Self Destruct, a coming of age story about an inner city youth raised by a hardworking single mother.
