50 Cent The Massacre CD / All Eyes on 50 Cent: The Sequel Video

50 Cent's new cd "The Massacre," originally titled "The St. Valentine's Day Massacre," was slated to come out Valentine's Day weekend, but has now been bumped back to March 8th. A new promo video for it came out today, you can check that out here: All Eyes on 50 Cent: The Sequel.

Here's a little more advance word:

MTV News:

After the past few months of different people throwing overt and subliminal disses at him and his camp on mixtapes, 50 says he'll use the album � at least in part � as a forum to wholeheartedly respond.

"You listen, you hear what's going on out there," 50 said on the red carpet at the Vibe Awards. "I got something for everybody talking. It's gonna be entertaining. I don't want to give it up before we get there. It's gonna be interesting. This is chestnut checkers, these are not warning shots."
50's first dart has just hit. It's called "Disco Inferno" and was produced by Dr. Dre. The Queens MC can be heard getting at the ladies on that one. The G-Unit are already calling next year "2050 not 2005," and the leader of the squad says when his album drops, "It's gonna feel like brain freeze across the country for rappers."

The NY Times:

A Wealthy Hartford Suburb Longs, Vainly, for a Rap-Star Neighbor's Company
ARMINGTON, Conn., Feb. 16 - In this Colonial-era village, where bling is restricted to a single strand of pearls and the rim-spinning Escalade is trumped by the scratched Mercedes with a faded beach sticker, everyone is buzzing about the party slated for Thursday night at the home of Curtis Jackson III.
At the Barney Library, with its garden club book collection; at Miss Porter's, the all-girls' private school where Jacqueline Onassis studied; and at the Epicure, the gourmet market with six kinds of olive oil, the talk was all party.
But no one had actually been invited. Nor has anyone in this placid Hartford suburb ever met or even seen the elusive celebrity who lives in their madras midst.
That's because Mr. Jackson, who is 28 and is better known as 50 Cent, a platinum-selling musician, restricted the invitations to rap world luminaries such as Missy Elliott and Busta Rhymes. He also invited the 163 winners of a nationwide radio contest; they will be bused in through the wide, white gates that lead to his vast cream-and-white main house.
For the past few weeks, MTV has been shooting at the house and around town for its "MTV Cribs" program and filming the minutiae of party prep. (On Wednesday, they put a camera on a U.P.S. driver as he prepared to unload the truck.) Mr. Jackson's publicist, Yvette Gayle, said her client is expected to perform in the 3,500-square-foot party room, including songs from his new album, "The Massacre," with themes and lyrics that were cruder than the Cole Porter tunes at the clubby, downstairs bar at Apricot's, a restaurant on the Farmington River.
But it was the house and woodsy setting, not the tweedy neighbors, that drew Mr. Jackson here, Ms. Gayle said. Two years ago, he paid $4.1 million (about a quarter of the original asking price) for the house, which had been owned by Mike Tyson. The house, listed in town property records at 48,500 square feet, has 52 rooms, including 21 bedrooms and a room walled entirely in Gucci leather. It also has 39 bathrooms and 4 whirlpools.
"I have to say Farmington is the last town where you would expect to find someone like 50 Cent," said Willard Holmes, the director of the Wadsworth Atheneum museum in Hartford, who lives a few blocks away from Mr. Jackson. "But my 6-year-old son is obsessed with seeing him."
The boy is not alone. Although residents here generally avoid pop culture and publicity like mulligans on the first tee, there appears to be an endless fascination with Mr. Jackson, despite his being something of a spectral presence...
