‘So Disrespectful’
I have to apologize to all the Fisty Scent fans I might have ignored on the release of his latest album. I listened to the album once(but not really). On my repeated listens last night as I navigated through the internets I realized how much I enjoy this album ‘Before I self Destruct’. This is the kind of regressive rap music that my dude from Oz would enjoy. 50 Cent is totally the dumbed down version of Kool G Rap. Except 50 Cent annunciates impeccably. You can hear his threats clearly.
‘Before I Self Destruct’ isn’t so much coke rap or brag rap as it is revenge rap. The thing that makes 50 Cent’s blood flow better than motor oil is the idea that he has to exact revenge on people. Everyone. Enemies. Friends. Family. This dude is so disrespectful. I’m trying to figure out who made 50 Cent so angry. It shouldn’t be this hard to happy? Sure people hated 50 a few years ago, he was broke back then. Poor folks remind us of our own mortality. I hate them too.
‘Before I Self Destruct’ is at its best when 50 Cent gets personal. This is why he has been such a force in rap for the last several years. No other rapper names names like 50 Cent does. No subliminals or vaguely confusing slicktalk. 50 Cent will say your name. Yes. YOU. He doesn’t like you very much. Honestly, I don’t like you either. ‘Before I Self Destruct’ is the album that all the bum ass rappers are praying we don’t discuss. There isn’t too much manufactured cool on this disk. This is not Sinatra rap.
This is smack ya’ baby mama in the ovaries music. Enjoy
‘Then Day Went By’
‘Crime Wave’

I didnt put da clipse yet cause i didnt hear der album. But u know DP ur boy combat jack was high a mother off dat clipse Cock rap.LMAO
P.S. I cant wait to cop it, also i didnt know weather to put dat Blackroc joint up der?
man I thought I was the only one. thanks for this drop.. this LP was raw and gritty and fun to listen to.. I deleted all the pop tracks and then fleshed it out with some of the cuts from his forever king mixtape = instant gritty hip hop LP.
good times
U finally gettin to see the light. Good, good.
50 is a very rough rapper. but the choruses on his songs are extra gay. actually i feel the same way about em, but im more willing to forgive this in em cause he’s a ridiculous rapper.
more ridiculous.
and more white
thisis first time im actually listening to this…i wasnt interested…
that ‘Then Day Went By’ is hard (none)
Man. The beat for this track Death to my Enemies is hot fiyaaaaaaaaaaah.
The fact that Titty Boy Ross can say anything disrespectful to Curtis is exhibit A why this rap shit is fucked the fuck up.
Whatever.
I am gonna drive drunk to this shit tonight…
I think people were more into seeing the sales than actually listening to the album. This joint gets played every morning during rush hour. It’s the only way I can vent in the car!
@ Ayre
Can they be blamed for eyeballing SoundScan numbers, given 50’s past emphasis on the importance of sales?
I’m not praying for his downfall or anything, but he has this irritating habit of setting these arbitrary rules then making excuses for himself when he doesn’t abide by them.
Couldn’t agree more. BISD is tough as hell. I ike BP3 but I like that grimey shit over that shiney shit all day.
@ sealsaa
I completely agree, 50 set himself up for that.
BISD IS MY JOINT “CRIME WAVE” AND “STRONG ENOUGH” MUST GET PLAYED EVERY MORNING. THEN WHEN I GET HOME I PLAY THE REST JUST SKIP THREE OR FOUR SONGS. BP3 AIN’T FUCKING WITH THIS JOINT I PLAY ONLY 3 OR 4 SONGS ON BP3. THE RAWSE JOINT NOT STACKING UP TO BISD. I BOUGHT FOUR CD’S THIS YEAR WORTH MY MONEY DOOM CAM RAE AND 50 IT MIGHT BE 5 WITH THE CLIPSE COMING. THE WORTH OF A CD IS HOW MANY SONGS YOU SKIP BY HOW MANY SONGS IT HAS. LIKE THAT CAM WAS A DECENT CD BUT IT WAS DECENT PLUS WORTH MY MONEY. ALSO THAT NINJA ASSASSAINS MOVIE WAS FIRE I NEED THAT DVD
Not a 50 fan…AT ALL, but erry album, he has one or two songs I can fux with. I think he’s gotten lazy with the rhyme, and tried to sell albums off of the beef gimmick. This album is a showing that that is a failed tactic. And yeah…Ross is phoney as a $4 bill, but he’s merking 50 on the mic, and in sales too. “Then Day Went By” and “Crime Wave” are some SICK tracks. I loves that shit.
I DO NOT TWEET, twit. (Ha ha) But, a ni@@a saying that Kid Cudi’s LP is “incredible” must be kissing that ni@@a. I am digging the 50 album like I never have one of his joints in the past, speech impediment notwithstanding. Best song on the Gucci album is the Cam joint. Clipse album is a non-issue, unfortunately. DOOM rocks on. Rae album is a must.
