Free Music Notes for Before I Self Destruct
Free Music Review: His best since his debut
Hit: 5 Stars
In 2009, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson released his fourth album on Shady/Aftermath, "Before I Self Destruct." Despite some delays, the album proves to be worth the wait and easily 50's best since his classic debut album "Get Rich or Die Tryin'."
The album starts off with the hard-hitting "The Invitation," which sets the tone for the entire album. The album continues with "Then Days Went By" and "Death to My Enemies." 50 then starts his typical diss record, this time targeting former G-Unit members Game and Young Buck. The song is good and in my opinion, is different from previous diss records like "Piggy Bank." 50 was simply responding to his peers this time, rather than starting the insults.
The whole album's tone is dark and gritty, until we reach the third single "Baby By Me" feat. Ne-Yo. The song is similar to previous r&b records from 50, such as "21 Questions" and "Build You Up." And while the record is an obvious pop attempt, it's creative and a standout. "Do You Think About Me" is another similar record, but another standout. The album wraps up with the street single "OK, You're Right," a heavy, up-tempo Dr. Dre produced track. And of course, "Could've Been You" feat. R. Kelly, which was originally set to appear on Dr. Dre's "Detox."
If you've missed the "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" 50 Cent, who showed appearances on "The Massacre" and "Curtis," you'll love this album. It's 50 at his gritty best, with seldom guest appearances. And when the guest appearances do happen, they work great. Eminem murders "Psycho," while Ne-Yo and R. Kelly fit the songs they're on. "Before i Self Destruct" might not be as great as his debut, but it's right up there. Well worth your money and time.
Before I Self Destruct Poster
For the explosive Before I Self Destruct album, 50 Cent returned to working closely with DR. DRE and EMINEM as he did on Get Rich Or Die Tryin', his first official album. With DR. DRE and EMINEM producing and guesting, Before I Self Destruct is darker and harder than 2007's Curtis, as shown by the grimy single and video to "OK, You're Right" (produced by DR. DRE), which was released earlier this year. In early September, 50 released the hit single "Baby By Me" produced by POLOW DA DON (FERGIE, T.I., LUDACRIS). Before I Self Destruct continues 50 Cent's phenomenal rise from street culture hero to pop culture icon. Both album and film will be released on Shady/Aftermath on November 16, 2009.Pop Music CDs
