50 Cent

Before I Self Destruct

Release Date: November 23, 2009
Label: G-Unit Records

Abstract

The pressure is on 50 Cent. After losing a very public sales battle with Kanye West, he has promised that Before I Self Destruct, his fourth studio album, will revolutionize hip-hop, it will be the culminating statement of the first phase of his music career, and that it is a companion piece to his first feature directing effort. 50 Cent has described Before I Self Destruct as “darker and more aggressive,” with fewer guest appearances and a concept that will set the next phase of his musical career. “Get Up,” the first single from the album, was produced by Scott Storch.

gggggg-unit 4 life before i self destruct is gonna be classic

January 21, 2009 at 3:04 p.m.

da 1st buzz we heard bout 50 in da streetz was hot , he knowz what it takes 2 sell records. Ova da yearz we come 2 figure out it's all bout himself (where's tony yayo n lloyd banks album). Just cause u been shot or sold crack don't make u a gangsta. He is not da best nor is he da new 2pac (there will neva be anutha 2pac), of course he's in da conversation but it takes a real M.C. to b da greatest of all time. 50 battled Kanye West n lost , he aint sold a million in one week like LiL Wayne. G-unit is gonna continue 2 make money , 50 got dat goin 4 him , he don't need 2 rap. This may turn out 2 b his best album , I hope so for Hip-Hop's sake. If ya don't like it FYcK YA!!!!

January 22, 2009 at 3:57 p.m.

if u all have negative things to say then y are u wasting ur time looking at this page? ur just pissed that ur not successful in life

February 23, 2009 at 2:06 a.m.

first of all lil Wayne got famous because of his pops rep,second Kanye West ain't a real rapper he's more of a pop artist, and I don't know u guys but I heard alot of familiar beats like kanyes hit single harder, better,faster,stronger which music he got from electronic artist daft punk,50 beats are original no copied s**t, so stop hatting on him. he's the best. and kanye basically won because he put half of his cd on the radio which allowed people to like it more ,but B.I.S.D is going to be his comeback album gggggg-unit

February 25, 2009 at 12:46 a.m.

Album iz Gonna Be Fire ReGuardless what anybody Haz 2 Say. Haterz are Funny 2 me,Why not like NiGGaz like 50 n' Game. They had a fall out n' y'all choosin sidez,Music iz Music n' if a NiGGa can make Good Music I'll Listen 2 him. I Listen 2 NiGGaz from 50 to Game,from Joe Budden to Lil Wayne,from Cam'ron to Jim Jonez,from T.I. to Termanology feel me. Quit Hatin on a NiGGa cause He ain't payin ya Billz n' he a Star.B.I.S.D. will be Classic,like it or not.n' if you like Real Rap Music wit Lyricz Joe Buddenz "Padded Room" iz fire.

new news 50 cent has told certain people that he is realesing 2 albums this year along with eminem. 1st one will be relesed march,31,09 like you see above the 2cd one is set to be released in late december but it will defanitly be realesed before january,1,2010.

April 7, 2009 at 6:41 a.m.

this album's gon' be a classic and for all da haters... quit snitchin' on 50 'fore we get y'all bucked!

April 9, 2009 at 9:36 a.m.

for those that hate G-Unit b/c of the game, g-unit made the game... since leaving g-unit, the game's numbers have dropped significantly

The documentary 586,000 units in the first week, topping all three U.S. charts.
The Doctor’s Advocate debuted at 358,988
LAX is at 238,382 copies

and although i still like the game and bought the later two, i have to say they quite a drop from The Documentary. LAX particularly had horrible production in half the songs.

April 10, 2009 at 2:04 a.m.

50 cent is the best rapper alive!! I can't wait to buy his album

this album iz Gonna be Amazin...4 some reason I feel it.50 Cent never spoke hiGhly bout any of his last albumz the way he does this 1.The Production iz on point,althouGh if a Hip Hop feel he wanted he could've used DJ Premiere n' other Producerz on some Trakkz.ReGuardless album will be best album of the year,his last 2 mixtapes (War Angel LP,Still KinG) prove he still can make music look easy.I wish 50 n' Game could make a Trakk 2Getha 4 an album.Y'all can't tell me 2Getha they was'nt Fire.Hate it or Love it waz a Hit,WestSide Story waz Fire,This is How We Do waz a Hit.Fukk all Y'all sayin Fukk Game,Fukk all y'all sayin G-Unot.No Matter both Campz make Good Music n' at the end of the day that'z all that matterz

August 31, 2009 at 7:56 p.m.
7.5 out of 10

1. 50 cent dont care about Ya'll! If he really was devoted to the game more than the money he wouldn't be falling off like he has! And would still be a topic today. 2. Either that tracklist is Baloney! or BISD is just gonna be another Curtis.

September 3, 2009 at 3:36 a.m.

50 is the world's blandest rapper. maybe second blandest, after DMX. Shady is the dopest rapper, followed by Dre & Obie.

September 7, 2009 at 6:03 p.m.

50 is the best in the game!!!!!!!!!!!

September 13, 2009 at 8:35 p.m.

i thort the uva albums wer shhhithot bt cnt wait 4 the new 1 50 is the best all i listern to spect 50 out ggggG-unit

September 13, 2009 at 8:36 p.m.

LMFAO @ any1 who thinks 50 is the greatest of all time. It only takes listening to 2 tracks of ANY of his albums to realize that's falsehood. LOL

Does he have a couple good songs here & there? Yes
Does he make tha kinda money I want? Yes
Is he gangsta? No (Gangsta's ain't afraid to shoot back)
Is he the best rapper? HELL NO!!!

As far as the Kanye thing: I consider Kanye one of the elite rappers. He personifies what rap used to be before all the ppl wanted to be "gangsta". And sum1 above mentioned him being more of a pop-artist... Then that's even worse!!! That means 50 got DESTROYED in his on genre by sum1 that's not even in it!!! He shol' can't be the best with that happening. We've all made points, but mine is valid. Thank you and goodnight. ;)

September 13, 2009 at 9:05 p.m.

fiddy is a ledge, hes been shot 9 times and is still going, hes had tea round my house and im drinking his mineral water right now mother f**kers, Defence man thats where its at, me and him have a cheecky album coming out at the end of december brapppp!

September 17, 2009 at 8:44 p.m.

October 12, 2009 at 6:01 a.m.

That was the rumored track list. It's not correct. Here are the four singles so far: "Get Up, " "I Get It In," "Ok, You're Right," and "Baby by Me." We'll update the track list once the official one is released.

October 14, 2009 at 1:31 p.m.

October 19, 2009 at 3:23 p.m.

For all you fagits that say 50 Cent is a snitch and shiyyit is bs.. and what does he have to prove? How about the bullets he took? The whole point of every black mans hustle is to get out the game, the only people that are hustlin and rappin are the ones that dont sell any albums, so haters need to check yourself and stop hatin.. daymmn

October 22, 2009 at 10:07 p.m.

Alright... Im just waiting 50... The Best Rapper in Life(F**k Wayne)... 50 (Curtis), The Smartest in the game...

October 22, 2009 at 10:09 p.m.

thers nothin bigger ta cum from 09 than 50 CENT B.I.S.D. when it gets relesed, hurd a cupple traks nd its gona be a gudin, shout out ta dre above, he talks a true story

October 25, 2009 at 1:07 p.m.

yall hatin but he stylll makin money and yu aint LMFAO

October 30, 2009 at 7:41 a.m.

Firstly, 50cent is better that The Game, though Game is still a good artist. Second, the showdown between 50cent and Kanye West was a publicity stunt and was rigged for 50 to lose. In a true underground rap-off, kanye would have no chance against a lyrical master like 50cent. Lastly, can you people learn to speak proper english and type proper english. Use the education you were given and you may just end up as seccessfull as 50, though maybe not as an artist. Peace and love.

October 30, 2009 at 7:42 a.m.

this albums suxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

November 1, 2009 at 7:22 a.m.
7.5 out of 10

Alright I'ma start off by giving the album 7.5
I have to admit there were some tracks on there I will put in my Ipod but to compare it to Curtis, It loses because of the lack of Hits! If I heard all the songs on the album (rumoured to be more)trust me on this that Baby By Me will be the only thing that he'll push to radio!
That Is All.

November 2, 2009 at 11:56 a.m.

50 Cent is one of the greatest. Get rich was his best by far. I hope before i self destruct is as good, but maybe the fame+money has changed him too much, who wouldnt it change. Cant wait for its release tho, its long overdue. Jay Z and Lil Wayne the only two other greats.

November 2, 2009 at 2:07 p.m.

GGGGGG-UNIT 4 REAL, F**k GAME, Bitch Niggas...!!!

November 3, 2009 at 7:35 p.m.

Does fewer guest appearances mean still having them on almost 1/3 of the songs on the album?
