We thought after “Get Up”, “I Get It In”, and a ridiculous beef with Rick Ross, 50′s Before I Self Destruct album would be right around the corner…no? Sure, Interscope is busy with Black Eyed Peas and Eminem right now. Instead, 50′s going back to his mixtape roots with the first of three free downloadable albums, War Angel. Fourth Of July and Sincerely Southside Part 2 will follow, but no word if the artwork on these releases will look as shitty as it does on War Angel.

Jokes aside, you gotta love that his official thisis50.com website provides download links for War Angel via ZShare. This truly is a “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” win for the piracy party.

Said 50, “Creatively, this is not even a mixtape. That’s why I put ‘LP’ next to it.. My core audience will understand it immediately, and it’s written specifically for that.. When you hear it, out of all the material I put on the street, you’re gonna say that’s the best body of work I put out in the mixtape circuit, period.”

We’ll be the judge of that, large rich man with angelic wings. – DJ Pizzo
