Before I Self Destruct has been pushed back until 2009.


There is no release date as of yet, however the record label said that the delay won't extend far into the year.


50 has the single and video for "Get Up" out now



He has of a Dr. Dre-helmed track he "stole" from Eminem during their recording session in Detroit a few months ago. 50 did note that Slim Shady did give him his blessing to use the record.


 


"I said, 'Let me see what [Dre did],' " 50 recalled with a smile while speaking on the video set of "Get Up." "Last time I recorded The Massacre album, I was in Orlando [Florida]. I went in the computer there. That's how I found 'I'm Supposed to Die Tonight.' It's interesting. With 'In Da Club,' D12 [who the beat was intended for], had the production started my career."


Besides Dre, Eminem appears on Before I Self Destruct as well.


"We created some music," he said of Slim Shady. "I went to Detroit recently. One song I really liked it and he liked it and he kept it for his album. I went back and made two more songs. We got 'Norman Bates Motel' out of that. It's exciting."


"Norman Bates Motel" is slated to appear on Before I Self Destruct. In addition to the music, 50 is producing a film also called "Before I Self Destruct" and the Jam Master Jay documentary

BISD will do the same #s as TOS unless he pulls another gimmick like going all out on a beef with Lil Wayne and numerous rappers from the south. He beefed with everyone else, and those rappers are the last that 50 can legitimately beef with. He has no allies and he has no real people that can back him up.

I think 50 done once he started putting out all that bullshit after GRODT that was about it. I actually went and bought the massacre and that shit was not all that great and very big let down from his previous album. Don't even get me started on Curtis when most of the tracks from your album leaks on the internet during the summer then its a wrap. You guys can call me a hater or whateva (talkin to the game stans cuz i dont care for either like that) but I just think 50 is done.

MAN, I HOPE HE DO GOOD NUMBERS, BECAUSE HE ONE OF THE ONLY "POPULAR" RAPPERS THAT ACTUALLY RAPS!!! I HOPE HE DOES GOOD, BECAUSE HE REPRESENTS HIP HOP IN THE 80'S AND EARLY 90'S. I MEAN LETS BE FA REAL, HIP HOP IS ABOUT STRUGGLE, I DON'T SAY THAT MEANING "HOOD" STRUGGLE, I MEAN STRUGGLE PERIOD, ADVERSITY! HE IS ONE OF THE FEW OUTSIDE OF MAYBE JEEZY AND T.I. THAT STILL SPEAK ON HOOD LIFE OR ISSUES GOIN ON IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AT LEAST W/ THE ARTISTS THAT ARE RECOGNIZED BY THE MAJORITY OF THE WORLD. THERE ARE PLENTY OF ARTISTS RAPPIN THAT SPEAK THE SAME SHIT HE SAYIN, BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE LISTENERS AREN'T LISTENING! SO I HOPE HE PUTS TOGETHER A BANGER, I HOPE HE TRIES TO SWITCH UP THE CONTENT A LIL MORE, AND GET BACK TO A LIL STORYTELLIN AND PLAIN HOOD SHIT!! YA DIIIG!?!? AND THE THING IS I LIKE THE SO CALLED "SWAG" RAP THAT WAYNE AND KANYE BRING, BUT 50/BANKS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE DUDES I LOOK TO WHEN I'M READY FA SOME HOOD SHIT!! I HOPE HE PROVE ALL THE CRITICS WRONG WITH THIS ONE, BECUZ IF THIS ALBUM IS WACK, I'LL NEVER LISTEN TO ANOTHER 50/G-UNIT (EXCLUDIN BANKS) ALBUM AGAIN. FA REAL!

nah, what he really need is a strong lead single
another "in da club" or "candy shop" will do the trick

I predict in the first week it will be about 150,000 and then 50,000, then 10,000....it will take about 4 months to gold, and will never touch platinum....They should have a pro-line for this..
