50 Cent “Before I Self Destruct”
Standouts - “Strong Enough,” “Baby By Me,” “So Disrespectful”

For his fourth CD, “Before I Self Destruct,” 50 Cent decided to take a more organic/raw approach to his music and the result is an average at best CD. While lyrically 50 is stronger than he’s ever been, the accompanying production is lackluster at best that’s a problem for an artist that has made a living off of huge singles. While 50 is able to carry the bulk of the songs with his lyrics, “Before I Self Destruct” leaves a lot to be desired.
