Before I Self Destruct is 50's BEST produced album & lyrically it's better than

[BiggBoogaBiff]

Get Rich Or Die Trying


this is my 1st listen to tha album and I love it better than the other 50 releases.  My only gripe is that when he does the voice change up it doesn't quite fit like on "Stretch", it just brings tha replay value of the song down and it's sad bcuz ALL of these tracks besides a couple are tremendously better than alotta tha usual 50 tracks.  


The production on this album is so perfect for the idea of the album.  I love it.  Really, if people still call this shit average, it has to be bcuz u ain't livin' it or just dont have they ears opened all of the way.  Everytime you OVER-ANALYZE an album you'll always be disappointed instead if u just chill back and listen and be happy about the new shit ur about to put in your mp3 player (and pls good people of dubcc, admit that most of y'all do, there's alot more opinions than facts on here).  [example of fact:  does it make ur head bop?]  It kinda does sound like a mixtape a lil' but that's wat 50 does best (mixtapes).  It doesn't really matter anyway, it's still music.  


If this was 93' this album woulda sounded "normal" (As far as putting an album together).  I'm actually glad 50 went tha hard route, when you got close to 1billion dollars in a bank account then rapping about your personal reality isn't something I wanna hear about.  LOL at Preme actually dropping a beat that made me shut my mouth in a long minute.  


And last, this album woulda been way better without the "baby by me" track which should've been replaced with "i get it in" it would've fit well, the 'whoa wave' on "Crime Wave", the singing on "ok you're right", and the new verse at the beginning of "could've been you", they actually ruined that shit by adding too much to it, the unfinished version still sounds better.

Hopefully with the recent leak, they'll push the album up a week or two.

thank god atleast u can admit it, alotta folks wont even do that, its like they scared 2 admit that they fuck wit after they go on it.  50 dropped a hot album, enough said.  of course it's not tha greatest piece of music ever made for the people to hear but it's good from 50.  only so many people leave an impression and presence like the mainstream acts.  it's clear 50 can hold his ground in the game.
