Even in its beginning, 50 Cent shows that he’s accommodated to these beats, as his voice and flow is the most inspired it’s been in a long time. The beats are cinematic in how driving and big they are, it’s clear that 50 is learning from his mistakes on Curtis and War Angel, and trained his ear for beats, only catching the fiercest, most piercing instrumentals. However, the rest of the album is some of the most consistent material 50 Cent material he’s ever released. The second half of the album contains every awful single, including the Ne-Yo-driven terror “Baby By Me” or the dull rapping amongst an thematic 300-esqe Dre beat that is “Ok You’re Right”, and it drives the album from its hardcore beginnings to a sappy, superficial ending that is disappointing to say the least. Before I Self-Destruct has some terrible songs, but that’s to be expected when it comes to a mainstream rap album, or more relatably, a 50 Cent album.
