Eminem sent 50 Cent new music for collaborations.
50 Cent’s debut album “Get Rich Or Die Tryin” turned 20 this week, and the rapper celebrated the occasion in a series of tweets. The POWER mogul has now connected with Billboard to celebrate the milestone and did a new photoshoot and interview.

During the interview, it is revealed that Fifty is working on a studio album with Dr. Dre, and Eminem also sending him new songs to collaborate on. Previously, Fif also revealed that he is working with Eminem on a TV adaption for the Detroit rapper’s 2002 semi-autobiographical film 8 Mile.
“Em’s not going to say the s–t the way I say it because it just is what it is,” he said about working with Eminem. “There’s his humble nature — he’d call me and ask to do him a favor and rap with him on a song. Like, “You know I’m on your label, right? Yeah, whatever you need me to do.” He would always ask me, “Could you do me a favor? I always thought it would be dope if we did this together.” I’m like, “All right.”
“He’s never been part of any of the confusion, because there’s going to be confusion in your career. You’ve got to do maintenance on people. The imperfections of the music business are the people in it. You’ll see artists miss [with a project] and still stay in good graces because they’re still being prioritized and the system is working to keep them in place. Then you’ll see amazing artists [who are not prioritized]. You’ll listen and think, “What happened to them?” It’s because the business was done with them.”

He also talked about working with Dr. Dre again, and the difference between the creative process then and now. “I’ll go in and start to record the best music that I can come up with from everybody else,” he said. “Then I’ll find some pieces, and when I accumulate stuff that I feel like is good enough, I’ll bring it to impress Dre and [his team] to get cooler stuff from [him]. At that point, they’ll go, “I see where you headed.” They already know musically what I’m thinking is the right direction at that point. When I start projects with Dre, I would write to the first song that came on. I don’t care what it was, even if the beat wasn’t finished. I would write the record to break the ice, and we’d have something playing like [Dre] just got here even if he’s been here two or three hours and we got a record playing. He will change the drums and everything that you got there until you got something that’s a hit record.”
“The difference now is, with a lot of the stuff I would send, I’m looking at the angles of it happening from different perspectives instead of putting myself in the middle of actually doing something to someone. I wrote a lot of the material like that [before], but there are a million other approaches to use. So I’ll do those other things so I can still capture what goes on in the environment now. But it’s through the lens of not being in the game — it’s the perception of the game, from my perspective.”
50’s passion for music is once again on the rise as he transforms into a successful TV mogul. After selling his radio income stream worth $6 million to Kobalt Music Group in 2015, he is now collaborating on a new studio album with Dr. Dre and has received new songs from Eminem to work on. Additionally, Nas has also enlisted 50 for a feature on his upcoming album, “King’s Disease 4”. After a series of individual shows and a successful international tour last year, 50 is now preparing to embark on his first domestic tour in 13 years. He has already been confirmed to perform at the Lovers & Friends Festival in Las Vegas in May. In 2021, 50 made a surprise appearance at the Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show and earned an Emmy award for his performance.
