50 Cent, Curtis
50 Cent's first two major-label releases were almost as notable for
their lack of guests as for the 10 million copies they sold. ''In the past,
I isolated myself,'' the rapper admits. This time he packed Curtis (his real name) with cameos from Mary J. Blige, Justin Timberlake, Eminem, Akon, Robin Thicke, and the Pussycat Dolls' Nicole Scherzinger,
who provide plenty of pop-friendly hooks — and, in Eminem's case, a
stretch of gross-out lyrics that we don't dare describe in print. UPDATE: Release date changed to 9/4
