50 Cent’s long-awaited upcoming “Before I Self Destruct” album has been pushed back once again and will now face off with Baby (aka Birdman) and his “Pricele$$” album, not to mention Jay Sean’s “All Or Nothing” album, but that isn’t all. Moving the release date by one day (from Tuesday November 24th to Monday November 23rd) to take full advantage of the start of the holiday shopping season when customers flock to the stores after Thanksgiving.

The change extends across the Universal umbrella, including Interscope Geffen A&M, Universal Motown/Republic, and Island Def Jam. The new date will of course include 50 Cent but also pop releases from artists like Rihanna, Timbaland (and his “Shock Value 2″ album), and the second album from Lady Gaga’s “The Fame Monster.”
