Ten years ago, 50 Cent basically invented the modern-day mixtape circuit with the release of 50 Cent Is The Future , a tape on which 50 took a bunch of other people's songs and made them better. It's been a wild ride for Fif ever since, first rising to "Biggest Rapper in the World" status with the release of Get Rich Or Die Tryin' in 2003, and eventually falling to Ludacris-like levels of over-the-hillness by 2009's Before I Self Destruct . The Big 10 , a collection of ten [...]
Curtis the auteur continues to pump out the "aggressive" content to extend the shelf life of BISD . Inspired by A Thin Line Between Love And Hate , Vivica gets to play the crazy chick, Tahiry gets to exact some revenge on Joey & Tamala Jones gets to just sit there and look pretty. 50 stays winning when it comes to videos. Behind the scenes footage features more of the leading ladies if you're interested.

It's been a long yet lucrative road to the release of Before I Self Destruct , 50 Cent's much documented final record on his Interscope contract. Possibly the genre's last mega-star before Hip-Hop was regressed by the digital age, 50 saw endless mounds of success through business ventures, movies and of course, platinum plaques. Although less notably, popular opinion reads that the caliber of his albums have slipped considerably since his towering debut, Get Rich Or Die Tryin' . Especially when factoring the runaway success of the lead single "In Da Club"-a phenom 50 [...]
I really didn't want to speak on this until his official first week numbers came in because, outside of water cooler banter , it doesn't really matter much. At least not to the average listener; I imagine first week numbers can make or break a TI's week nowadays. But in doing what 50 does best, he dropped this gem to Meka over at BET in response to Hits Daily Double's projection that his first week sales to be around 150k-160k: "The actual project is arguably my best [...]
50 Cent showed up at the New Moon premiere on Monday for what seems like absolutely no reason, but after seeing his unusually chipper Tonight Show appearance we think we see where he's going. Clad in Burberry and a surely comfy lack of self-awareness, Fiddy explained his befriending of Bette Midler, his attempts to create his own brand of condoms, and the sale of his "mandatory" stripper-pole equipped Connecticut estate. In other words, he projected the complete opposite of the persona his new album cover for Before I Self Destruct [...]
Boo-Boo's life, your entertainment. "Inspired by 50 Cent's latest album of the same title, Before I Self Destruct is a gritty 90-minute film, written, directed and starring Curtis Jackson (aka 50 Cent). The film is a coming of age story about an inner city youth raised by a hardworking single mother. Movie comes with Before I Self Destruct the album in stores now!" [ ThisIs50 ]

McMullen on 17 November 2009 Here we are with 50 Cent, more than six years after the mania surrounding Get Rich or Die Tryin' [...]
First off take a long, hard (II) look at the picture above. Notice the date? Friday the 13th, as in four days prior to Before I Self Destruct hitting store shelves and about 400 days since the first stalled it's original single "Get Up" surfaced . I was wondering what 50 had up his sleeves to add a little buzz to his release. Lord knows a building single , decent album & accompanying movie aren't enough for Boo Boo. He used little brother last time, so big [...]
A bonus joint off Fif's recently pushed up BISD , available now on iTunes and all over the place on 11.16. As much as I like it, it's tough to talk the brash talk seriously knowing that Boo-Boo spends $20K per month (roughly $1M a year) on security measures. Whatever. Fiction, not fact.

G-Unit Films continues to ensure their viral product is flooding the e-streets as Before I Self Destruct is set to blow like sticks of nitro. What we have here is an ambitious Curtis Jackson getting his Kane-in-Menace on so he can "stretch" his revenue longer than this video clip. The opening montage, as hilarious and Cooler-esque as it may be, is probably NSFW. Proceed with caution. Previously Posted - 50 Cent - "Crime Wave" Video
...on Connecticut Radio Morning Show. Fiddy is such the emotional cat these days. You saw his passion when pertaining to Fat Joe's lastest clunker and now, with word that the Rick Ross PD only moved 4,000 units, it's Niagra Falls all over again. Maybe if TSS would've posted some of their songs/videos they could've...nahhhh! The real question is: What will Before I Self Destruct do? Seeing that's in your iPod already.
Let the campaign for Before I Self Destruct get underway. The album's been pushed up to November 16th, 2009 for one reason...or sixteen. When Beyonce doesn't return your calls, you settle for the next best thing: Kelly Rowland. Which is exactly what 50 did for this make-or-break single. Download - 50 Cent Feat. Ne-Yo - "Baby By Me"
The video premiere of Fiddy's "Baby by Me" featuring Ne-Yo premiered this morning. The new single and video is taken from 50's Before I Self Destruct which got bumped up to a November 16 release date because of the early leak. The video also stars Kelly Rowland as the leading the lady. We've been a fan of the Polow Da Don produced track for awhile now and the video serves it's purpose. Ne-Yo is secluded to a black backdrop singing his bit as the rest of the video follows 50 [...]
Oh, Fifty. You got your life so right and your bars so wrong. We haven't heard you spit anything but cheap shots in months years, but now you're trying to claim insane daisy-chained double-time rhymes like this ? Really ? I know you could sell fur coats to people at PETA, but I ain't talking about a bad bag when I say this one's a stretch. We all know B Rabbit's loco ass wrote those straitjacket sixteens in this Before I Self Destruct drip and you didn't. We're [...]

Enemies stay enemies, But friends they change I don't normally post stuff from 50, but his album leaked yesterday and this joint had to be put up. I'm over here doin the Tony Yayo dance riiiiight now. From what I've listened to, Before I Self-Destruct seems pretty good. My only question is how can 50 still talk about guns and shooting cats, when all he does now is make Youtube videos and laugh at people. I mean the music is good but....do we believe him? Does it matter? At what [...]
Questo che vi mostriamo in alto è il nuovo video di 50 Cent girato per il singolo promozionale (quindi non sarà il vero e proprio primo singolo apripista del nuovo disco) "Crime Wave". Il nuovo album "Before I Self Destruct" ha finalmente una sua data di uscita: si tratta del 23 novembre e, come sapete, avrà una concorrenza spietata. Il primo singolo sarà " Baby By My " il cui video avrà come guest star una rinata Kelly Rowland . A seguire la copertina del nuovo progetto discografico del rapper. Intanto, per ammazzare l'attesa, guardiamo [...]
A feature presentation by Curtis Jackson. For added measure, Gucci gets the call to add a legitimate illegal element to Boo Boo's mundane BISD single. Really? A remix less than 24 hours after the original ? Download - 50 Cent Feat. Gucci Mane - "Crime Wave" (Remix) Via Miss Info
Maybe he felt he had something to prove after their lil Twitter spat disagreement. But for whatever reason, 50 Cent utilizes a beat previously wrecked by Fabolous & Desert Storm Co. If "agressive content" includes high-jacking creative concepts, then 50's on the right road to perdition. Before I Self Destruct drops the week of Thanksgiving. Yaaay yaaaay yaaay!
