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' (album)|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.<ref name=defsounds/>}}

Revision as of 04:31, 11 October 2008

Template:Upcomingalbum

Untitled

Before I Self Destruct is expected to be the fourth studio album by rapper 50 Cent, his final solo release in his current contract with Interscope Records, excluding a "greatest hits" album.[1][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 up to September 2007.[4] However it was later revealed, in an interview with G-Unit members Tony Yayo and Lloyd Banks, that the album is scheduled to be released during the 4th quarter of 2008,[5] with 50 Cent himself later stating that the album is due to be released December 9, 2008.[6][2]

In a red carpet interview 50 Cent stated that while he was working on the album, he wrote, produced, and directed his first film saying that the release of the film will coincide with the release of the album.[2]

In early October 2008, the first single titled "Get Up" was released via 50 Cent's official YouTube, with production credited to Scott Storch.[7]

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.[8]

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".[9]

Production and guests

In contrast to Curtis, 50 Cent explained that you "should not expect to see guest appearances like you saw on Curtis".[10] He also described Before I Self Destruct as an entirely different concept, which will setup "the next batch of records" in his career.[10]

In an interview with HipHopDX.com, 50 Cent confirmed that he has completed twelve songs for the album.[11]

After 50 Cent's collaboration with Akon on "I'll Still Kill", which appeared on Curtis, Akon stated that 50 Cent and himself would be working on each other's upcoming albums due to the successful experience they developed while working on Curtis.[12] Akon spoke on upcoming collaborations between the two stating,

Shortly after the song was completed, we met face to face, gave each other a pound, gave each other a hug, like, ‘Nigga, we got a hit.’ Now we’re gonna do more records for both our upcoming albums. We’ll swap out. Whoever’s album it feel right on, that’s where we gonna put it.[12]

In an interview with MTV, Timbaland stated that he has worked with 50 Cent. He said:

I did some more records for him. I know he's gonna use them, but I don't know for which album — this one [Curtis] or the next one [Before I Self Destruct].[13]

In an interview with MTV, 50 Cent was asked about the album and said that the Kanye West produced track will not make the final cut of the album.[9] Swizz Beatz will provide production for Before I Self Destruct after not having any tracks make the final cut of Curtis.[14]

J. R. Rotem also spoke about working on the album, he said:

I just sat down with him and we went through tracks," Rotem said. "He's definitely into soulful stuff. He's at a level where he doesn't have to put an album out for money or anything — he's in it for the love of hip-hop. For the next album, he's trying to bring a very powerful new sound. He's an innovator. He puts out a sound and people will copy it. He wants to set a trend. At this point I can't give any more details, but it's definitely going to be a remarkable project.[15]

Play-N-Skillz also confirmed working with 50 Cent for the BISD project saying:

Our rhythm on the drum pattern, we had to switch it up a little bit. 50 Cent said he wanted to go back to the boom-bap hard-core gangsta stuff. We tried to fit his style. I think 50 is gonna come back. He's a hitmaker. He's written a lot of hits for a lot of people. Sha told me 50's getting back in the Get Rich or Die Tryin' mode. 50 is a person who doesn't like to know how the producer is. He just likes to go in with the music. But Sha Money XL is going crazy for the tracks we sent.[16]

Sha Money XL and Ty-Fyffe have also worked on beats for the project. Ty-Fyffe posted his listening session on YouTube.[17]

Scott Storch has also been credited as the producer of the first single, "Get Up".[7]
