50 Cent Drops Return of the Body Snatchers Vol. 1
Artist: 50 Cent

Whilst bigging up ThisIs50.com…

Not one to shy away from self-promotion the G-G-G-G-Unit star is back from Super Bowl enthused partying and already hit the ground running. "You should always expect me to be better than the guys you consider to be average artists," he tells MTV.com. "I don't think there's nothing average about me as far as the opportunities or how far I would go. You see when I do G-Unit sneakers, I don't wear anything but G-Unit sneakers. When I do G-Unit clothes, I don't wear anything but G-Unit clothes. [With] VitaminWater, I don't commit to anything that's not a part of my lifestyle. I practice what I preach. That's not just my style. Trust me, I've had opportunities to do business ventures that I have turned down. I'm averaging 10,000 a people a week [on my Web site]."



Monday’s release of G-Unit’s latest mixtape, Return of the Body Snatchers Vol. 1, has got the frontman more than stimulated. With a "unique" way to distribute it – via online methods – Fiddy seems to be growing in confidence. "I gotta be able to come up with something contextually that's bigger and better as far as distributing the mixtape for marketing and promotional purposes," he tells of the project. "ThisIs50 was the perfect outlet for that. The traditional way of releasing a mixtape has been great. Whoo Kid is the biggest mixtape DJ in existence. But to reinvent it and to get [the fans' mouths] wet by [having] them downloading it, is Web news. People receive it. In Germany, Kosovo, based on our last tour, they became members of the social network, so they had the opportunity or option to download it immediately. It makes it a lot more effective. It gives me the world instead of just America."

Expect the build-up to 50’s solo album Before I Self Destruct and the G-Unit LP Lock and Load to feature the same self-promotion.

In regards to Return of the Body Snatchers Vol. 1… RWD are downloading it as we type. Expect detailed speculation to be in the next issue of the magazine, out February 15.
