Remember back in 2003 when G-Unit was just the hottest thing to hit hip hop? Well unless you have been in a coma you have realized that this isn't 2003 and G-Unit is far from the top. Internal squabbles have made three members leave (or Fif' kicked them out, whatever you believe). With Before I Self Destruct, 50 Cent is trying to restore the dominance of his crew and himself in hip hop.
Lyrics
If you are looking for some quotable lines that you can spit to your friends, this is not the album to get them from. They are M.I.A. on this CD. Not saying that 50 Cent is just spitting garbage on the mic but you will be hardpressed trying to use this CD to say that 50 Cent is a lyricist. You get the same formula that you have come to know from 50 Cent and any other G-Unit artist for that matter. You will hear songs with some straight-up hardcore lyrics and gunplay, the sensitive songs for the ladies, club jams, and bragging about how many Lambo's 50 has. On the track So Disrespectful 50 takes shots at former G-Unit soldiers The Game and Young Buck. Eminem comes through on the track Psycho and reminds us all why Em is still the boss and 50 is just a protege. Only line from the CD that comes from 50 that remotely stands out is "Any nigga out of order must get serviced" and unfortunately thats the best he comes with on the CD.
Flow
Even though his lyrics is subpar on this CD his flow at most points are just flawless, average at worst on this CD. His flow carries tracks that otherwise you wold want to skip, as evident on Stretch and even then you might want to skip this one because of the constant corny lyrics.
Beats You Can Bump To
He has a few tracks on here where the beat and his flow drives the song while his lyrics take a break. Tracks that stand out are:
So Disrespectful
Psycho ft. Eminem
Crime Wave
Get It Hot
Gangsta's Delight
Baby By Me ft Ne-Yo
Ok, You're Right
Fav Tracks
Psycho ft. Eminem
Crime Wave
Baby By Me ft. Ne-Yo
Skip 'Em
Strong Enough
Stretch
I Got Swag
Guest Appearances
Ne-Yo (chorus only)
Eminem
R. Kelly
Rating: Don't Waste Your Time, Download It, Cop It, or Classic
Download It. This CD is inconsistent and definetely not the 50 Cent that once ruled hip hop
