50 Cent says: BISD is ‘like the prequel to Get Rich or Die Tryin’ (Video)

If you can take 50 Cent’s word for what it is, then his upcoming November 23rd release will be a classic in its own right. Before I Self Destruct, slated for a November 23rd release, is supposedly the “like the prequel” to 50′s Get Rich or Die Tryin’ album. If that is any indication on what to expect then I am more than excited for the album release, due to my love for Get Rich or Die Tryin’.

50 Cent has often criticized the rap game for being a little too soft lately. He’s openly asked, where’s the aggressive content? He’s also pointed out how few hit hip-hop songs from the past couple of years don’t have an R&B singer on the hook. Through mixtapes such as the War Angel LP, he’s served up lethal doses of hardcore rap, so it was a little surprising to see him team with R&B singer Ne-Yo on his new single “Baby by Me,” for which the two shot a video last weekend.

50 said that just because he’s got a song with a crooning chorus doesn’t mean he’s abandoned a street edge for his upcoming Before I Self Destruct LP.

“Not particularly this song, but the entire project … I meant for it to be a little harder and what I fell in love with about hip-hop and within hip-hop,” Fif said on the song’s video set Saturday. “I accomplished it. Before I Self Destruct is absolutely harder than Get Rich or Die Tryin’ or other projects in between. The Massacre had some real aggressive content on it, but there were other things I wanted to do, like ‘Ryder Music,’ ‘Baltimore Love Thing,’ ‘Build You Up,’ featuring Jamie Foxx. This project [Before I Self Destruct], I kept all of those things out of it. I just made it what I wanted it to be. This album is my album right now. It’s like the prequel to Get Rich — the things I missed on that project.”
