00:00All of the categories that I've been in are pretty organic to my lifestyle.
00:12I try not to sell you something that I don't use myself.
00:15With actual music, it's obvious, none of the other ventures that I've been a part of would
00:20even exist without music, you know, so this is the core of why I'm relevant or I exist.
00:27I don't believe in the limitations, I don't believe, I think the sky's the limit, I think
00:31I can do bigger and better things in the future, even my accomplishments are minor accomplishments
00:36to me because I'm moving to new areas where I'm surrounded by people who have accomplished
00:40more.
00:41If you have that thing within your character that they call ambition, you'll understand
00:46that you're running through a tunnel that doesn't end and after you accomplish one thing
00:49you'll reestablish a new goal and go after that, it's just a continuous cycle of new
00:53projects and new things that you can work on.
00:55I feel good about it.
00:56This actual album, it was a longer process making it, so it changed, a few times it changed
01:01because music, I think, it kind of has to be as current as the current events that's
01:06happening around you because it marks time, like it'll play a song that was hot at a certain
01:11time period, someone older than you will start dancing or enjoy themselves in a different
01:15way, and if they see you singing, they'll be like, you don't know nothing about this.
01:18I want to be able to create something that actually is effective.
01:22My first album is the largest debuting hip-hop album, highest played song at Radio, so now
01:26it's pretty tough to match the performance of that music, so now I'm doing the best I
01:34can to come up with something that is comparable to that actual project.
01:38It's interesting because they compare you to your best body of work, every time you
01:43release something following that, you only get one chance at a first impression.
01:47Even when it's the biggest or the largest debuting record, it can actually haunt you
01:52in some ways because you can't, you know, how do you top it?
01:56So many things here.
01:57You've got the highest level of luxury in Dubai, you want to go out and enjoy as much
02:01as possible.
02:02The experience, every time I've been here, it's been completely different, I've stayed
02:04in a different hotel, got the chance to move around a little bit and see different things.
02:09It's constantly growing, since the last time the architecture of this up was skeletons
02:15of buildings the last time I was here, they completed, there's no telling what it'll look
02:19like the next time I travel out here.
02:21Hey, what's up?
02:22This is 50 Cent, I'm out here in Dubai, launching SMS Audio, it's exciting for me, this is
02:27an extension of my passion for music, and I want everybody to get a chance to check
02:32it out, SMS Audio.
