Before I Self Destruct is expected to be the fourth studio album by rapper 50 Cent. It is expected to be 50 Cent's final solo release in his current contract with Interscope Records, excluding a possible "greatest hits" album.[1] The album was set to be released in March 2008[2]
Background
Initially, Before I Self Destruct was planned to be 50 Cent's 2007 album,[3] however, he decided to release Curtis instead, and thus Before I Self Destruct's release date was pushed back to 2008.
The album's release date was initially announced to be February 4 2008, but later moved to March 2008, due to the release date of Curtis being pushed back to September 2007.[2] As of April 2008, the album has not been released.
Music
Concept
50 Cent told MTV that he named the album "Before I Self Destruct" because "it could potentially happen." He also stated that Rich Harrison will be producing for the album.[4]
In an interview with DJ Semtex, 50 Cent discussed working on Curtis and Before I Self Destruct, saying,
Some people think I changed the title of my album from "Before I Self Destruct" to "Curtis", but what I did was, I changed albums. I had Before I Self Destruct, I recorded twelve songs under that actual topic, and then I created the material that is under Curtis, and I felt like this album should come out right now and Before I Self Destruct is gonna be my follow-up record, so I'm probably like three or four records away from completing my next album at this point. And I signed a five-album deal with Interscope, so this Curtis is my third album, Before I Self Destruct is scheduled to release February 4th, which will be the anniversary of Get Rich or Die Tryin' and my final studio recording album because the fifth album in my recording contract is a greatest hits album, so technically, I'm about three songs away from completing my music career.[3]
50 Cent described the album as "darker" and more "aggressive" than his previous album and stated, "hands down, [it] will be the best record of that time period".[5]
Production and guests
In contrast to Curtis, 50 Cent explained that you "should not expect to see guest appearances like you saw on Curtis. Although he has confirmed that Ice Cube will appear. He also described Before I Self Destruct as an entirely different concept, which will setup "the next batch of records" in his career.[6]
In an interview with HipHopDX.com, 50 Cent confirmed that he has completed twelve songs for the album.[7]
After 50 Cent's collaboration with Akon on "I'll Still Kill", which appeared on Curtis, Akon stated that he will appear.
