50 Cent "Before I Self Destruct" Album Review

[69GUNOT]

review all of Games albums

[Moneymaker2511]

yo i got it the album man and i thought it was good and the songs were cool. My favourite song is Ok Your Right!

[dirtyplaya]

it was a lot better den i expected i figured he got soft an ddnt have his flow no more but he came hard on this album

[TheDirtyPanties]

@MisanthropikOne I'm not a bitch lol

[1323Ruben1323]

Wait hold on 50 likes MJ?? Wow that's kinda wierd like cause well everbody should know how EM felt abou MJ"

[Bannedforfun]

@1323Ruben1323

Em has nothing against MJ. Ever read the July '09 interview em did? I don't remember the name at the moment but he spoke out on MJ's death and he complimented him and look - em's every album's first single except for Not Afraid have been parody-rap songs that exploit the most popular gossip that's going on. Guess what was the big thing of '04? MJ's trial. I'm a fucking huge MJ fan, I own 87 CDs and the ticket to the july 23rd This Is It show, but yeah 50 likes MJ.So does Game btw.

[SockmonkeyFTW]

Only reason 50 didn't sell a shitload on this one is because it leaked, along with other complications. I was surprised this album didn't sell as good as Get Rich or Die Tryin or the Massacre- because imo it really felt like Fiddy was back.

[snotyear]

Agree with you. Didn't except this album to be so raw. Power of the Dollar is still the best.

[Akselisblonde]

Get Rich or Die Tryin- Fuckin SICK

Massacre- He's the best in the game

Curtis- He changed, but hes alright

Before I self Destruct- no, this shit sucks

[wmacn06]

@Akselisblonde Massacre - "He's the best in the game"??

He sold his fucking soul. Candy Shop, Build You Up, Amazing??? And he disses Ja for putting out pop songs?

[TheMexicracker]

I love your reviews. I don't always agree with you, but I still respect the fact that you give your honest opinion on music no matter what other people think.

[dontizzle805]

hold me down was hott as fuck

[fred456789123]

Thing about 50 cent he puts out a masterpiece GRoDT and everyone expects his albums to be all great sorry but is is hard to pull off a great album once let alone twice. Still thought this cd is ill I bought it.

[DiegoCasanueva]

What do you think about The Massacre and Curtis??? I haven't listened to those albums. Are they worth it?

[OfficialHopHip]

@DiegoCasanueva Massacre was good, Curtis had some good tracks, but not his best album...

[spuke9]

50's worst album

[j04370859]

@spuke9 Curtis is his worst album.

[goinganto]

how did you get the power of dollor album by 50 cent

been looking for a while

[MisanthropikOne]

@goinganto Ebay or download it

[goinganto]

ey how you get the power of the dollor album

been looking for it for a while

[MultiFunkalicious]

Death To My Enemies is such a dope track, amazing beat by dre.

nice review man

[thenewchuchoarcila]

hey do u think the ok ur right track was a sellout song or is a good bang on the clubs

[MisanthropikOne]

@thenewchuchoarcila Its a club song

[thenewchuchoarcila]

@MisanthropikOne

[OfficialHopHip]

Man, you got the same taste as I do, nice review man

[hamburgler818]

nice review

[AngryUrsaring]

I personally think that Could've Been You should have been replaced with Flight 187 but I still love this album. The movie was dope and the album was hard.

I hate the way people say "50 sucks, he is always on the same shit, blablabla"

Then when an artist changes his style, like Eminem, everyone is like "Man, he should go back to his old stuff"

Make up your mind lol

[BoutthatpaperTV]

Good Review

i give the album an 8/10 Aswell

theres a few leftover tracks he should put on the album tho, theres 2 songs called Mans World and Fligt 187 which should have both been on the album

[TheRealWisdom]

The movie that comes with the album is DOPE !

[yungbozz16]

A IMMA BIG 50 CENT FAN. I REALLY LIKE HIS FIRST ALBUM ' pOWER OF tHE DOLLAR".. THAT WAS A BIG CLASSIC FOR HIM.. THATS WHEN I STARTED LISTENING TO ALL HIS MUSIC BACK IN 2000. EVEN THOUGH I WAS LITTLE.. MY DAD PLAYED IT ALL THE TIME. 50 CENT IS THE GREATEST RAPPER ALIVE RIGHT NOW.. FUCKK ALL HATERS..

[tennesseetitan10]

oh man, i love death to my enemies too, thats the hardest track by 50 ive ever heard, tight ass beat to, sick as hell!!!

[xdarkmanXx]

this album is very good the last good album from him was the massacre in my opinion

[Triton88Keyz]

WOW finally i found someone else that hates the word "Swag"!! Nice..

[MisanthropikOne]

lolol

[AJUNIORPRODUCTIONSZZ]

[XoJUGALLOXo]

Yea i enjoy this because your very real and i agree about the swag thing

[bopb0p]

hold me down hottest track Power of the dollar a classic

[WhtMike2006]

Power of the Dollar is a classic to me. I remember hearin How to Rob on the radio in '99. There were some many gems on there: "Love your enemies and hate your friends, your enemies remain the same, friends always change." "I hate a liar more than a thief, thief's after my salary, a liar's after my reality." "I know we're all gonna go, and I'd hate to go fast. Then again, I don't think it'd be fun to stick around and go last."

[WhtMike2006]

War Angel was 50's hardest shit since Guess who's Back and Power of the Dollar. Forever King was dope cause cause of all the throwback rnb jams!

[eggman170]

The album is sick, pick it up bitches!!!! 10/10

[69GUNOT]

@eggman170 10/10 wtf r u on its a 6/10 and shit aint worth picking up

[tupacsoulja]

wtf u know bout cube..sayin he aint gangsta ...........ur fav rapper walks the road cube made wid nwa n his solo shit too so stfu n i dnt care how may disney movies the dude puttin out

[angeloCOZ]

whats the song at the opening of ths video??

[MisanthropikOne]

Its a song by a deceased emcee named Camu Tao called "Magnetics".

[marchibaldjr32]

I give it a 9/10 its surprised me!

[dgdbg]

Dude,you know you kinda look like him?

[MisanthropikOne]

Thanks lol

[FinalFantassyyy]

Respects bro I took ur advice on the war angel and listend to it, pretty dangerous tracks on that album, keep the reviews comin

[skinbiz]

you say how can a multi millionaire sound gansta. well how can a broke, fake thug rapper talk about success, wealth, and money? business men are gangsta. no matter how you look at it. i give it a 9/10, should have put Get It In, and Get Up on the LP to make it a 10.

[wilderalt]

i give the album a 3/10 shit was trash how can a muti millionair sound gangster?

[jayx531]

thats like askin icecube why he still sound gangsta when he done did "are we there yet "

[wilderalt]

Icecube dosen't sound gangster at all jackass

[impulsew7]

wow what hav u been smokin??

[wilderalt]

fuck you what have you been smoking nigger? 50 cent is trash and that album was stupid as shit far from a get rich or die trying

[impulsew7]

i liked da first half of the album wer it was hardcore and aggressive..buh i dident enjoy it towartd the end..If u comapre it to the shit other rappers are puttin out lyk lil waynes rebirth and all the bubble gum rap 50 is one of the few hardcore rappers left

[MisanthropikOne]

That's how I felt. I liked about the beginning half.

[Playstatiion3]

good review .... keep going

[MainTerror]

i think its a very good review- clear opinion from a real hip hop fan

[dwadefan4lyfe]

I give the album 8.5/10

[christianblackmtlrlz]

the CD left a bunch of sticky stuff in my player. The CD was very hot when I took it out of the player, and believe it or not it actually kind of smelled good (not sure why). I would not recommend buying this CD unless you want to ruin your stereo equipment. I'm pretty sure it was the CD that ruined my player, but I also put a cookie in my CD player earlier that day...Actually now that I think about it more than likely it was the cookie. I still wouldn't risk it if I were you.

[yoma6565]

So this album got a better rating then Eyedea......................ya thats just wrong

[radical360mods]

yo I feel u on the swag, Can't stand it but 50 did aite with that track

[underatedchampion]

shit i thought the same, when i herd he had a nother album bouta drop i was like so he aint his 1st one, an ima havta say this is ona my fav. albums i herd within

the last 3 years

[BenjiPistone]

Hey Man, Just want to tell you that I downloaded those two mixtapes that you recommended, and they are pretty dope Man, I love them......Thanks a Lot, and as far as his new album goes. I don't really like it a lot. I love his older stuff. Power of the doller could of been a classic if it was released.

RESPECT From CANADA

[mrhaze101]

dope review nigga ... and i mos deff feel u on dat swag shit rofl

[kash1100]

good shit good review ......kash one

[flaminggonzo]

Dude that song where he talks about his gun being his girl has already been done by 2pac me and my girlfriend so its really nothing new or original but nice review though. Oh yeah I heard power of a dollar, that shit is a classic. Im curious to hear the new shit even though I dont like 50 nowadays

[MisanthropikOne]

I know but it is kinda cool that 50 had his own little rendition of it. You should listen to the album though its solid cept for a few of the girl tracks

[flaminggonzo]

thx I'll look into it. By the way did u hear the latest Royce da 5'9 Street Hop, u should take a look at that, its crazy!!! By the way I coped the Rakim and killah Priest joint and they are dope too.

[flaminggonzo]

dude the song where he talks about the gun being his girl and shit that was already taken by 2pac me and my girlfriend it aint nothing new. Other than that I thought ur review was on point. Im curious to listen to the album even though I dont like 50

[nysportsman2]

yo where can u get power of the dollar

[BenjiPistone]

try isohunt or pirate bay. If not, Do a google search for a torrent

[DaBronxDON94]

werd i agree wit u about dat stupid swag shitt

[withinyamind]

Yo,

MisanthropikOne, i Can't get into 50 any more. i just can't. i stopped listening to him at 8th grade and shit. Dude to me is just to repitive, but thats imo.

[fatpatlives1998]

bisd is hot better then curtis not grodt but close to the massacre

[BoneSoldier101]

what else comes with it I got it and it came with a movie and the cd but didnt look like a box like urs

[MisanthropikOne]

The movie and a documentary "The Life & Death Of Jam Master Jay"

[nickalbano222]

i agree with what you said about 50 cent not being the 50 cent of his first album but i think money has changed him allot

[MainTerror]

im confused

u say its good n u giv 7.6

thats shittt man

maybe ur harsh

[MisanthropikOne]

...........7.5 to 8....... the album is solid except for those tracks I mentioned. There were like 5-6 tracks I could've done without.

[devon8trillionaire]

yo u tripping album suck

[heyyesletsgo]

this is his 2nd best album after get rich.

[devon8trillionaire]

not album suck massacre was better

[invalidts2]

how did u get a hard copy??

the album dont come out till the 23rd

doesnt it?

dope review, loved the album

i'd give it a 8.5 outta 10

this album really made me jump on the 50 cent bandwaggon again

and war angel and forever king were dope as fuck!

u should do a review on bishop lamont's team america fuck yeah mixtape when that drops, cuz that shita gonna be krazy!

[DaProdicalSon]

da album came out physically on the 16th nov

[DaHipHopAdvocate]

the physical copy came out on the 16th? ya earlier this week while the itunes version came out a couple weeks back

[invalidts2]

50 said that the albums comin out on the 23rd, i read that in an article on rapbasement did he push it foward?

[DaHipHopAdvocate]

he ya pushed it foward cuz it leaked about a month ago so i guess the label wanted to drop it already. hes pretty mad about it leaking that early too i would be too especially if its been done way before the release date was even announced lol

[invalidts2]

yeah if i was 50 i wudda done what raekwon did

u know sharpen up and touch up the songs so theyre better and more original then the leaked versions of the songs

[DaHipHopAdvocate]

true thats what he did with I Get It In but something about it sounding too much like another song he decided to leave it out

but i think the songs are in pretty high quality as it is tho

[Saphir1993]

It's in stores since monday or tuesday

[williedee615]

good review

[DopeBoiSS]

I agree with almost everything you have said... That Power Of The Dollar album Is a classic material. 50 Cent Always Had That Potential.

[1983Shocker]

classic album, the rawest i've heard in a long time.

[GUnitNorway]

album is classic!! the movie too

[Roybaaa]

Ey man i lost my account a few weeks ago and i couldnt remember your name and i was like shit now i cant watch your videos anymore but then i thought wait u sometimes had album reviews so i searched for fiftys new one and now i found u again hehe i subscribed again yea

[rudeawakening101]

50 is exactly like Wayne -- he brings it on his mixtapes, but misses on his albums. Fuck the bitches.

[ScarbzMedia]

Your exactly right they make quality music on mixtapes but as soon as the album comes out...You just wanna throw that shit in the garbage

[itzFundamental]

@rudeawakening101 im the opposite...i HATE lil wayne and i always thought his mixtapes were fuckin wack but his Carter 3 album was decent

[MrCrutial87]

I Wanna Buy This I Dowloaded It But I Want A Real Copy

[GUnitNorway]

you sould! the movie is one of the best he has done

[RabidRhymes]

On point review.

I think the idea behind Hold Me Down is definitely played out though.

Th personification of the gun has been done plenty well enough already with 2pac's "Me and My Girlfriend"....and Nas' "I Gave You Power"

[LuSizzle]

Do a review on Crooked I's PigFace Weapon Waist EP..won't be disappointed

[MisanthropikOne]

I don't have it. I want it badly.

[blackhole61590]

Wow, 50 Cent power of a dollar is amazing. He can spit. His flow has changed so much. He is much slower now.

[MrLoneson1982]

I hate the word "Swag" or "Swagger" also homie. I thought i was the only one who hated that gay ass sounding word.

[MisanthropikOne]

lolol

[SFitzy93]

i dont listen to much mainstream stuff,but 50 is one dude i always support because he cares about the old school shit and he supports it

why do you think he keeps dissing Wayne,Kanye,Ross the dudes he's dissing are the people at the front of the wack shit thats being played on the radio 24/7,he's even going at Hova now because of Jay doing the pop-type Hip Hop,50 is a smart man who respects the Rap game

[primegrime2]

yeha i had the war angel mixtape it was raw, the thing with 50 is he is part of the mainstream but like you see he can keep it raw too and the rest of the mainstream are probably scared of him because we all know and they all know he has the skill to rip apart anybody in the mainstream

[DaHipHopAdvocate]

oh and the movie he did wasnt bad especially for a low budget flick and the JMJ documentary was very good i just wish they went more into his craft and his history on the 1s and 2s

[DaHipHopAdvocate]

im lovin the triple disc cd yes i said 3

dope shit 50's one of the only ppl who still stick with the roots, that hardcore boom bap hip hop plus he only has 1 guest appearance which is Eminem which albums nowadays are too saturated with popular names but he's dope and so is this album go buy it!

[gotsteeze92]

I kow about Power of the Dollar. That 50cent is my fuckin dude for real. I definatly consider that album a classic bro.

[TheFuckucunt]

power of a dollar is a must 4 any hip hop fan

[gotsteeze92]

I didnt think i was gonna like it but I cant fromt: I thought Flight 187 and OK, Youre Right was hot. im thinking about buyign it. not sure tho. I havent been a 50 fan since GRODT.

[Moneyhands19]

I am feelin the Super Mario Bros hat fam!

[eminalien]

Yeah this album is pretty dope he got a lil more personal with it.
