Album Release Update: Kanye, Ludacris moves up, 50 Cent pushed back

November 17, 2008 by admin · Leave a Comment 


Ludacris’ “Theater of the Mind” and Kanye West’s “808s & Heartbreak” will both be released on November 24th. Originally the albums were set to release on the 25th. But Def Jam execs decided to move it up a day to take advantage of the Thanksgiving shopping week.

Meanwhile 50 Cent’s “Before I Self Destruct” has been pushed back until early 2009. The album was originally set to release on December 16th but 50 Cent felt rushed so decided to push it back and take more time to perfect it. The album will also come with a DVD film featuring 50 Cent as an aspiring basketball star who turns into a criminal after the murder of his mother.
