Hip-hop star 50 Cent is keen to emulate his pal Eminem - by taking a break from
the music scene.The rapper, who delayed the release of his album Curtis from 26 June (07)
until September (07), insists he still loves making records, but will take his
time to craft any new work.He says, "For me, right now, I feel like I love music, so (fans) should
expect me to make music afterwards."But I'll make it organically, like (Dr.) Dre makes a record. It may take
five or seven years. ... They'll be looking for my record, like, 'Yo, come on,
when you making a record?'"Em ain't put out an album in five years. It builds anticipation because he's
away. And he really doesn't enjoy what comes with the success. He likes to just
be away a lot more, just be shy toward people. And then the less common you
appear, the bigger your celebrity. So then he isolates himself, (and) he
becomes more popular. People are more excited."
