50 Cent has moved his release date for Before I Self Destruct to Sept, 29 instead of Sept, 11. The original release date would have created a new soundscan battle with Jay-Z after the previous one he had with Kanye when Curtis was released.

According to MTV, 50 said that if by any chance he and Jay did drop on the same day, he would welcome the challenge.

"I wouldn’t mind [that], either," Fif said via phone. "But it’s just, the scheduling is different. Maybe he’ll move back. ... Yeah, it’d be good."

Talking about his latest release Curtis dropping the same day as Graduation from Kanye West, he adds:

"People, you know, they love conflict," Fif said. "They love competition like that. And this is why it built so much energy for me and Kanye West when we came out on the same day, and in reality, we created the largest-selling week for hip-hop music. And at the end of the day, who loses? I tell you who wins: the Universal Music Group," 50 continued. "The both of us are on Universal Music Group. So as long as you create the largest-selling [day] from there, it hasn’t done anything to strain any of my business in any other way."
