Description
50 Cent, 'Before I Self Destruct,' wraps up the artist's final stint on Interscope; the upcoming release is an amalgamation of 50's first time directorial debut highlighting his charismatic countenance veiled in smoke, while offering insight into flirtations with women, close-knit friendships, fine-dining, car rides and piercingly bloody gun shots--and that's only the film aspect; an impressive album encased with darkly captivating lyrics, ragged orchestral strings, antagonistic drama foreboding ruthless vengeful murder, and explosive sexuality is a perfect addition to the film. The experience in entirety is best understood as a hip-hop runway show availing new impressively hyperbolized styles, including: chains, hoodies, sideways hats, and steamy women bursting beautifully out of bathing suits, dresses, underwear, and push-up bras. Spawned amidst the eighties crack era, 50 has separated himself from his most egregious past, and attained multi-platinum sales; yet there is still a piece of history, like a persistent shadow, that follows where ever he goes and is quite obvious on 'Before I Self Destruct.' The tale depicts a blood-splattered past, with bullet holes to prove it, coupled with the current potential pitfalls of having too much; extravagance, greed, and lust are intertwined at times playfully, and other times, ruthlessly; however, 'Destruct' dips into the listener's conscience and takes him or her to a higher state of enjoyment and awe.
