Fif tells Mixtape Daily that he might scrap his Black Magic album for a new concept. By Shaheem Reid, with reporting by Tim Kash 50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather Photo: MTV News The O.D.: A Mixtape Daily Exclusive For the original concept of his Black Magic album , 50 Cent said he was inspired by dance music while touring overseas. Now that he’s in the U.S., on the Invitation Tour , the G-Unit team captain said he has a whole other muse for a completely different album. “I started working on it,” 50 said last week in Los Angeles. “I been working on writing to a concept for Black Magic. … I recorded 19 songs. Then when I got back to the U.S., I started writing to a different concept. I spoke to Em. He called me when I was starting in Detroit.” Before Fif could go more in-depth about his upcoming album, his friend, Floyd Mayweather — who sat in on the interview as well — announced he has an LP as well. “We’re doing a compilation album,” Money Mayweather said. The boxing champ said he’ll be highlighting various artists on the project. “We’ll probably launch it in the heat of the next bout,” Fif said. “It’ll probably be the biggest fight in the history of the sport.” Of course, 50 was referring to the long-delayed Mayweather/ Manny Pacquiao title bout. Floyd wants Pacquiao to take Olympic-style drug testing, and Manny has resisted thus far. Back to the music: Fif and Mayweather agree that a lot of the hip-hop out right now has taken a softer turn. “It’ll just make room for you to impact when [the hardcore] comes back,” 50 assessed. “No one told the world to enjoy that [softer] music temporarily. I think a big portion of why people didn’t want to hear the aggressive content is because the people conveying them were lying.” “You got rappers in today’s time, they get a small advance from their record label, get a bunch of tattoos, a few piercings on their face, go to jail for 10 or 20 days, [then] they killers,” Mayweather weighed in. “Next time out, they rock stars. I think rap is crazy, but it’s still very creative.” For other artists featured in Mixtape Daily, check out Mixtape Daily Headlines or follow the Mixtape Daily team on Twitter: @shaheemreid and @mongosladenyc .
