50 Cent Says The New Album Will Be Darker & Speaks On His Movie

Before I Self Destruct is darker and harder than last year’s Curtis. 50 Cent wrote much of the album while he, as Curtis Jackson, was also penning the 90-minute film of the same name that would be his directorial debut.

The film Before I Self Destruct is a coming of age story about an inner city youth raised by a hardworking single mother. When his dream of becoming a basketball player fails to materialize, he finds himself employed in a supermarket. After his mother is tragically gunned down, Clarence (played by Jackson) is consumed by revenge and takes up a life of crime in order to support his younger brother.

“My film captures the harsh realities that reflect so many communities today. There will be some who will greatly identify with the characters and the situations presented and then there will be others who may be shocked at the struggles that go on in the inner city,” states 50 Cent. “I made the film for both groups.”

    According to 50 Cent, he wrote much of the material found on the Before I Self Destruct album, which is described as a darker and harder musical offering than 50 Cent’s previous effort, Curtis.

    The 2007 release, which included the hit singles “I Get Money” and “Ayo Technology,” reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts, selling more than five million copies worldwide.

    wow ! what a unique never before done story ! i mean can it get any more original than this ?

    can ANYBODY tell me if there is a story like this in the record shop, the cinema ?

    i mean through out the 90s ( thats 10 YEARS !!! ) nobody ever came up with a story like this, not in the 80’s or 70’s either. but ofcourse 50, this kid with a story we have no heard and seen a million times, rounds off 2008 ( another 8, that EIGHT years ) by coming straight from the innovative mind of Curtis Jackson !

    Thank you Curtis, G Unit sales have been failing because of 1000 niggas tellin the same story, then comes 50, with something totally out the box !

    i think , really, people need to realize that there are no struggling brothers in the hood who try to keep on the right path no matter how the world is pulling them right and left. These brothers think they being ” strong ” cause they dont take their pain out on other people !
    How can these suckers succeed without dealin dat white ?
    Na they just fake cause they cant deal with the guilt trip.

    so as i pour out my formula 50 , yall need to realize the un-greedy, un-vain , unfaggety genius of Curtis ” 50″ Jackson

    And big shoutout to the girl taking habesha people everywhere ! Angel “Lola” Luv

    id hit it ! ( na i really would )
