50 Cent recorded new songs in Norway
After being inspired by the dance floors in Bergen, 50 Cent went straight to a studio in town to record new music.

50 Cent says to VG Nett that he got the idea for a new song when he was on his own after party in Bergen.
- Usually, as they play music I have made on such parties, but here they played a different type of music when I came into the room. It was more opptempo and more dance-like. I would make such a song, so I went to the studio with my live band, and arranged and recorded the whole song while we were there, "said Curtis Jackson (34), better known as 50 Cent, to VG Nett ahead of Friday's concert in Oslo.
Super Star also says that he recorded two other new songs in the Bergen-studio.

If they find the right chemistry production-wise, 50 Cent could imagine working with Donkeyboy - as he did with Justin Timberlake in 2007.
When 50 Cent (34) was in Oslo last Friday, showed VG Nett him some videos of Norwegian artists. Especially Donkey Boys "Ambitions" and MGP-Didrik vocal performance fell in the flavor of star rapper.
And the rapper reveals that he often could imagine to work with frame explained in Donkeyboy - if the chemistry is right.
- I want to work with them if we manage to find a sound that lies in between what I'm doing the usual and the music that they make. As I did with Justin Timberlake on the song "Ayo Technology". The album that the song was on ended up as number one on the charts, "said 50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson III, told VG Nett.
Makeup Joker
Kent Sundberg in Donkeyboy says to VG Nett that they are going to make contact with 50 Cent's management to see if there is something tangible in the rap star's motion.

50 Cent understand why hordes of Norwegians have pressed frame explained to her chest and made "Ambitions" to what is perhaps the last decade's biggest Norwegian hit.
- Sing to win
He refers to human urinstinkt when he popanalyserer Donkey Boys broad appeal.
- They sing about winning, about ambition, right? People like that one often writes positive lyrics with positive energy. Then they want what you sing about, "says rapstjernen, before switching over to Donkey Boys makeup habits again.
- However, what is interesting is that the boy [Kent Sundberg] has as much eyeliner on the girl [Linnea Dale]. He is NOK fond of make-up before he goes onstage, laughing 50 Cent while he sings the chorus on the mega-hit.
Kent Sundberg take 50 Cent's makeup joke as a compliment.
- I have heard a lot about eyelineren min. But it's supposed to be a bit 1980's, then the eyeliner in, "said Sundberg to VG Nett.

- It was good! Opera is not my first choice when I listen to music at home, but I think this was cool. They show extreme vocal skills when they sing so - something many of the artists I listen to fail, says 50 Cent.
- Are you impressed by Didrik?
- Yes, but you have different types of talent. Some write cool things that you enjoy because you like what they convey - yet is so easily being able to sing the song in the shower. This, however, can not sing in the shower. You can try, but you'll NOK does not close, "says star rapper.
