50 Cent's new album “Curtis” has suffered another setback do to the plans for a “worldwide” release date. It has now been pushed back another week to September 11th 2007, according to people in the G-Unit camp.
September 11th marks the six year anniversary of the attacks on the Twin Towers in New York City. Our insiders speculate it is another marketing tactic that correlates 50 Cent with that day in history to make it seem more dramatic for his is album release.
September 11th 2001 was the day Jay-Z dropped “The Blue Print” and Fabolous dropped his debut “Ghetto Fabolous.” They both scored top selling albums for the week even though they came out the day of the tragedy.
Let’s see if 50 Cent can capitalize off of the date six years after the fact.
At press time no final word has gotten to us on why 50 is dropping the album on this date though… It’s all speculation at this point people!
