''Street King Immortal'' is the upcoming sixth studio album by American rapper 50 Cent, set to be released through G-Unit Records, Caroline Records and Capitol Records. Initially reported to be released during the summer of 2011, the release date of ''Street King Immortal'' has since been revised on several occasions, largely due to disagreements between 50 Cent and Interscope over the release and promotion of the album, which led to the album's brief cancellation. Later, Interscope announced that the album would be in stores on November 13, 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=50 Cent Releases "New Day" Single )〕 50 Cent did an interview, while he was in France promoting his headphones of his own company SMS Audio, confirming the album was pushed back to February 26, 2013. After a year of informational silence about the album, a new release date was officially announced as September 16, 2014. However, 50 Cent later announced that the album was pushed back into 2016. ==Background== Originally, 50 Cent's fifth studio album was set to be ''Black Magic'', an album influenced by several genres including rock and dance music. However, its release was postponed as 50 Cent began to write more material based on a different concept. As a result, recording sessions for a brand new album began from scratch, and material recorded for ''Street King Immortal'' is reportedly of a traditional hip hop nature, involving producers such as Alex da Kid, Bangladesh, Cardiak, Dr. Dre, Hit-Boy, Jake One, Jim Jonsin, and Just Blaze among others. It was later reported that the album would be titled ''5 (Murder by Numbers)'', and would be released on July 3, 2012. 50 Cent instead decided to make ''5 (Murder by Numbers)'' a separate album, to be released as a free download on July 6, 2012, and release a new collection of material as his fifth studio album, titled ''Street King Immortal''. In November 2009, 50 Cent released his fourth studio album, titled ''Before I Self Destruct''. The album did not match the previous commercial success of his first three studio albums, only selling 160,000 copies in its first week of release in the United States, peaking at number five on the ''Billboard'' 200. To help promote the album, 50 Cent went on The Invitation Tour; while on the European leg of the tour, he visited nightclubs and was impressed with the vastly changing styles of music played. Because of this, 50 Cent began to write and record material for an album called ''Black Magic'' while still on tour. This new album's music would be influenced by number of genres, including dance, rock and pop music; it would have a "higher tempo" than his previous work, although he claimed that the predominant genre of the music would still be rap. However, 50 Cent later revealed to the Brazilian edition of music magazine ''Rolling Stone'' that he was unsure whether to continue with the recording of the album, which he had begun while in the European venues of the tour, as he had begun to write material that he claimed "didn't quite fit the concept" of the album.〔 He later revealed the release of ''Black Magic'' had been postponed indefinitely, although he stated the album may be released in the future.〔 ''Street King Immortal'' will be more hip hop-influenced than the material recorded for ''Black Magic'', which was inspired and influenced by a number of genres.〔 In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, 50 Cent announced that he would never release the album ''Black Magic'', as it no longer makes sense to do so. In an interview with MTV, 50 Cent discouraged fans from comparing ''Street King Immortal'' to his debut studio album ''Get Rich or Die Tryin'''. In the same interview, 50 Cent revealed the album's release date and said it would not be changed again, as it will serve as a commemoration of the tenth anniversary of ''Get Rich or Die Tryin'''. 50 Cent confirmed in an interview with music television channel Flava, aired on January 3, 2012, that he had recorded seventy songs for the album, and only fourteen would make the final cut.〔(【引用サイトリンク】)">url=http://sbtv.co.uk/2013/01/50-cent-sits-down-with-flava-interview/ )〕 In early January 2013 ''Street King Immortal'' was included on multiple "Most Anticipated albums of 2013" lists including E!, MTV〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=50 Cent )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jay-Z And Eminem Return With 2013’s Most Anticipated Hip-Hop Albums )〕 and being eleventh on a list by ''XXL Magazine''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Feature )〕 On January 25, 2013, 50 Cent announced that he is still recording material for the album in an interview with Fuse. In January 2014, 50 Cent said he plans on a releasing a project called ''Animal Ambition'' in the first quarter of 2014 before the album comes out. He wanted to release the project as his "viral marketing plan" in order to hype up ''Street King Immortal''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SOHH.com - 50 Cent Still Has A Desire To Win, Defends Delaying "Street King Immortal" – For The Best In Hip-Hop News - SOHH.com )〕 However a month later it was announced that the ''Animal Ambition'' LP would instead be released on June 3, 2014. In June 2014, 50 Cent announced the album would be released on September 16, 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=50 Cent Is Dropping His Next Album ‘Street King Immortal’ On September 16 )〕 As of that date, it yet has to be released. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Street King Immortal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
