50 Cent Says Before I Self Destruct Is ‘Close To Perfect’
Fif talks to MTV News about working with Dr. Dre, Timbaland and Polow Da Don on the September album.
NEW YORK — No fair; 50 Cent is cheating.
Well, it’s not really cheating when you have producers such as Dr. Dre, Timbaland and Polow Da Don working on your album. Fif is stacking the deck for his current incarnation of Before I Self Destruct. Fif is on his third different production of the album, and he said the third time’s the charm.
“I feel like my album is as close to perfect as it’s gonna get,” 50 told MTV News last week. “I’m reaching the point to where if I have to continue to write it, I’ll be overkilling it. That’s why I gave myself other writing assignments, like the War Angel [mixtape], like the ’90s [tape] Sincerely Southside Part 2 and our actual G-Unit mixtape I’m doing with [Lloyd] Banks and [Tony] Yayo.”
Fif said reconnecting with Timbaland for Before I Self Destruct has been a unique experience.
“When me and Timbaland go in, a lot of times it’s a compromise,” Fif said. “He’s doing things that’s a little different production-wise from what I would usually do. Like ‘Ayo Technology’ — you never heard me rap with that cadence. That beat was actually for Justin [Timberlake]. It was golden, some sh– he had on the side, and he gave it to me. I went and did it. Justin laid the hook to it.”
Timbo will go in the studio and mumble a melody and tell Fif to pen lyrics with that flow, which 50 said is easy for him.
“I could put lyrics to any melody,” the G-Unit General said. “I can write a rap song, I can write an R&B song, I can write whatever type of song. If you put a note on it where I can hear it, man, I can write that. We did that, and that’s how I came up with that new cadence for ‘Ayo Technology.’ We did that a couple of times while we was on there working [on Before I Self Destruct]. It’s fun that way to have him participate with me.
“Even if you ain’t got the words,” 50 added. “You’re up there, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.’ Tim will be like, ‘I can’t believe that. He was able to make everything I just made a noise into a real cadence.’ I seen him take pens or pencils into a cup and put it into a shaker. I’m sure nobody else has shaker sounds like that. … I seen some interesting things from Timbaland.”
Polow also worked on the new album, but he had music prepared for 50 before the MC came to the studio. Before I Self Destruct drops in September.

50 Cent – War Angel LP
The Overdose: A Mixtape Daily Exclusive
Expect the unexpected. The game moves so quickly, and we’re prepared for anything, so you should always look to us to document it. Two Mixtape Daily articles in one day? (Make sure you peep that Fire Starter!) Why not if the content’s there?
We were prepping a real ill Behind the Beats to land Friday morning, but everything got put on pause when 50 Cent decided to phone in. The G-Unit General is putting out a project of all-new material called War Angel LP on Tuesday via ThisIs50.com. He says it’s more like a street album than a mixtape. Fif — who’s in L.A. right now recording Before I Self Destruct with Timbaland and Polow Da Don — said he’s throwing heat rocks all summer long, then dropping his official LP in September (dare we dream he drops the same day as Jay?).
“I’m finnin’ to get on the street, you already know what time it is,” he said via cell.
The tagline for the project is “Prepare for Total Destruction.”
“You know what it is, it’s a conflict,” Fif described. “The exact opposite. I didn’t want to write Angel Demon. It’s not the contrast between good and bad. But … if someone’s at war, I’m sure they’re saying their prayers. They believe they have angels around them. What would you call an angel around a soldier at war?”
A War Angel, of course.
“That’s why I titled it that,” he added. “Creatively, this is not even a mixtape. That’s why I put LP next to it. … My core audience will understand it immediately, and it’s written specifically for that.”
With such a potent title, some people are obviously expecting him to go at his last known enemy: Officer Ricky. Fif said that’s not the case. He’s done with the Miami MC.
“You’re gonna see,” he promised, before explaining why the beef with Ross is over. “I think if you don’t identify when you’ve won a race, you’ll continue to run victory laps until you’ve exhausted yourself. There’s nothing else to win in the Rick Ross situation. There’s nothing else to do to that guy from my perspective.”
So who will 50 be firing missiles at?
‘It’s not a specific target, a specific person, I’m writing about,” he clarified. “When you hear it, out of all the material I put on the street, you’re gonna say that’s the best body of work I put out in the mixtape circuit, period. The way the mood of music is right now, when they hear what this is, they’ll say, ‘That’s what we needed.’ ”
More 50 Cent underground releases will follow in just a few short weeks.
“I have two other tapes to follow it,” he revealed. “Fourth of July, Sincerely Southside Part 2 coming out with mostly ’90s music on it. Timeless music, classic hit records. Then, after that, there’s a G-Unit mixtape. It’s actually untitled. I’ll be finished with it in the next day or so.”
The War Angel LP track list, according to 50 Cent:
1. “I Line N—as”
2. “Talking in Codes”
3. “OK, Alright”
4. “Redrum (Murder)”
5. “Cream 2009″
6. “I’ll Do Anything”
7. “London Girl”
8. “AK”
9. “Get the Message”
10. “I Gotta Win”
50 Cent On Wisin Y Yandel
Is this what’s happening with your music?
What I fell in love with and inspired me to get into hip-hop is dwindling away. I’d like to be a representation of that, because there isn’t much of that left. I think people are so conscious of the numbers they’re not being creative anymore. I’ve received nothing but positive feedback on this collaboration. And it’s a surprise because it’s playing in a space where you wouldn’t traditionally hear 50 Cent. It’s exciting and it’s a whole new charge of energy for the person that is tuning in.
Can collaborations hurt or cannibalize other product from the same artist?
Absolutely not. It allows you to write outside of whatever your album concept was. When I’m putting together my album conceptually, I develop this thing in my head and on paper of what I want it to feel like. Sometimes I need to do things several times to get it right. I feel a song is a piece of what they were putting together as part of the actual album. And if the album is sequenced properly, it could be something people consider a classic and you fall in love with every song. I think even the best albums we love would have been different if they had been sequenced different.
You say your album, “Before I Self Destruct,” will come out in August or September. What about your film?
I wrote, directed and produced the project. With the purchase of the CD you get the film. I wanted my audience to see it, because I was inspired by what I wrote on the album. I wanted to create reasons for the actions, and I was able to develop cause and effect. When the song is three minutes long you only have time to create descriptions; you can’t explain why things are the way the are. That’s why I put it in the album package. It’s a different form of entertainment. I feel music marks time, and there’s a lot of great music being made now that doesn’t completely match the time period.
Do you have a first single yet?
When these guys finish mixing I’ll finish making the decisions. People look at my projects as if it’s only 50, but it’s really 50 Cent up to Dr. Dre and Eminem standards.
Is there anything about your Latin America performances that stand out?
While I was performing in Medellín [Colombia] this girl near the front was so excited and she was so beautiful, and I thought, ‘Oh, my God, I want to have kids. With her. Now.’ And when the concert was over she was gone.
50 Cent To Launch Men’s Fragrance This Fall In Macy’s!
Rapper 50 Cent — aka Curtis Jackson — is teaming up with Lighthouse Beauty to create a fragrance. Due this fall, the men’s scent, dubbed Power by 50 Cent, reportedly will launch first at Macy’s. The rapper is an equity partner in the venture. Power by 50 Cent is the first launch for the newly formed Lighthouse Beauty, which is comprised of artist managers at Brand Asset Management, the celebrities they represent, and developers and distributors of luxury fragrances. “The typical musician or actor might not know much about developing a fragrance or a skin care line, but he definitely wants to capitalize on his brand potential,” said Chris Lighty, chief executive officer of Brand Asset Group and founder of Violator Management. “After spending years bringing clients to major corporations to forge partnerships, I wanted to take that synergy to the next level by establishing a destination for artists and celebrities to create and distribute their brands from start to finish. What we’ll do at Lighthouse Beauty is not only transform a name into a product, but also take that product from its inception to the shelves.” Collaborations for the company will not be limited to those celebrities represented by Brand Asset Management, he said. Lighthouse Beauty is helmed by Lighty, Howard Sherman of Mod Beauty, Philip Zellner of Product King Marketing, World Source Marketing Group, 111 Design and Edge Display, and Glenn Nussdorf, a major shareholder of Parlux, Perfumania and Quality King.
Billboard Magazine Cover – Wisin & Yandel and 50 Cent
Although 50 Cent has collaborated with countless musicians, few of those tracks made it onto another artist’s album. With the reggaetón duo Wisin & Yandel and the track “Mujeres En El Club,” 50 Cent not only made the album but took it upon himself to promote the song and feature it on his Web site. The move highlights the importance of the Latin market to one of hip-hop’s biggest stars and opens the door for other high-profile collaborations between Latin and mainstream.
What was it like working with Wisin & Yandel?
When they sent the actual concept, I listened to it and the melodies completely fit me. It could be a song that I could do apart from them. So we’re meeting on a ground that is completely comfortable for both of us. My duet with Justin Timberlake, for example-there is more compromise for me there. The content is similar to what you can see from 50 Cent, but the actual rap, style and cadence is different. But when I go into the song with Wisin & Yandel I didn’t even have to make those cadence changes.
Had you deliberately gone after the Latin market before?
I’ve had huge success in Latin markets without intentionally reaching for that audience. And I’d like to maybe remix different things with different artists, and creatively, I’d like to do more stuff with Wisin & Yandel. I think hip-hop in general has changed dramatically based on artists reaching for other people. If you look at the artists out there, I think they’re a reflection of what was rock’n'roll. In general, they’re doing a style that isn’t hip-hop. They’re doing things that aren’t traditional at all.

50 Cent Settles Multi-Million Dollar Lawsuit!
50 Cent reached a settlement today (June 5th) in his multi-million dollar lawsuit against an engineering company for incorrectly estimating repairs for his infamous Connecticut mansion. The G-Unit general sued the company saying the company gave him an estimate for $500,000 but since he bought the house in 2004, 50 says he has spent over $6 million dollars.
50 Cent says he paid BVH Integrated Services $14,000 to give him an estimate on fixing up the former home of heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. BVH said despite it’s size (48,000 square feet, 52 rooms), that the home was not “manion-quality,” but their Vice President did admit their figure could have been inaccurate due to low time period they had to conduct the estimate. Currently the terms of the settlement have not been made public.
Will Eminem And 50 Cent Make A Joint Album?
Plus: hitmakers Sean C. and LV, in Mixtape Daily.
Behind the Beats: Sean C. and LV
Sometimes it’s just easy for producers Sean C. and LV, a.k.a. Grind Music Inc. — play the beat, let the artist rap over it, done. Classic.
“We had that Michael Jackson sample. L went up there to Yonkers and played them the beat,” Sean C. said of Jadakiss’ new street jam, “One More Step.” “It’s pretty simple, straightforward.”
“Soon as he heard it,” LV added. “I played, like, 20 seconds and he was like, ‘I already know what that is. Don’t even worry about that.’ ”
“It was a blessing they got it on some ‘We Gon Make It’-type vibe,” C., a former A&R rep at Loud Records, added.
Sean C. and LV have incredible credentials and have worked with the best of the best.
“This is a plaque I got for Reasonable [Doubt],” Sean said, holding up his reminder from his early work with Jay-Z. C. co-produced “Can’t Knock the Hustle.”
It was on Jay-Z’s last album that the two friends — who grew up in the same neighborhood but didn’t start working together until 2002 — proved themselves as one of hip-hop’s most viable production teams. Working with Diddy, they handled six songs off 2007′s American Gangster, including the sonically combustible theme “Roc Boys.”
After that, the phone rang off the hook. The two did work on Busta Rhymes’ “Don’t Touch Me,” Ghostface’s “Barrel Brothers” and Fat Joe’s “I Won’t Tell,” among others.
“We wanna just keep putting good music out,” said L, who came up as Big Pun’s DJ. “You just wanna stay relevant and stay hot. So that’s what we got to prove to ourselves. We know we could do it. You always talk about, ‘I’m nice, I’m nice’ — now it’s time to show it. Anything you need, come down. It’s like Home Depot — Beat Depot.”
“It works different ways for different joints,” Sean C. said about how the two work in the lab. “It might be a day when L would have an ill sample, then he’ll start f—ing with it and I might find some drums for it … or a vocal sample to go on top of it. We just make good music. That’s what it’s about.”
“Every beat is different,” L insisted. “We just do it.”
Next Wave of Flav
On Ghostface Killah: “We cooking that up right now. The last three Ghost albums we been on. The last one we had five [tracks]. … The chemistry with Ghost is very good. It’s mostly an automatic thing. He’ll have a beat CD for a minute and when he’s ready, he’s like, ‘I want this one this one and this one.’ It just happens.” – Sean C.
On Clipse: “We got three on [their next album]. I’m exited about that. They spit your head off. It’s hard, straightforward, aggressive. They do what they do.” – Sean C.
“The beats don’t sound like us. One of them does, but the others don’t.” – LV
On Slaughterhouse: “We’re really in the beginning stages of it. We’re trying to scope a sound for Slaughter House so it’s their sound, not somebody else’s. We’re sending them joints, they got a bunch of joints they picked.” – Sean C.
On Wale: “I think he sounds real good. I definitely like the record we did. I like the Cool & Dre record. We went in a few times with him. The joint we did got Travis Barker on the drums. Wale got that done while he was is in L.A. The beat was done, then Travis played over it, then we played on top of what Travis did.” – LV
“It’s called ‘OG.’ He’s talking about how OGs schooled him to the game and how they was when they were young and how he listens to them. It’s not a street OG thing, but he touches on how things were different at that time.” – Sean C.

The Streets Is Talking: News & Notes From the Underground
Recently on BET’s “106 & Park,” 50 Cent spoke on how he, Eminem and Dr. Dre are probably the most powerful crew of artists in the music business today. Dre’s a legend, Eminem is rolling — his Relapse went #1 last week — and Fif has been very successful as well. But since 50 and Em are so tight, will we ever see the two of them make an entire LP together? DJ Whoo Kid says the project has been talked about, but he isn’t holding his breath waiting for it to happen.
“They been talking about that sh– for years,” Whoo Kid said. “We even talked about it in the mixtape format. It’s an incredible situation [that] I hope one day goes down. Who wouldn’t want to see that? I don’t know what they gonna call that. I remember Em joked about that, ‘Let’s call it Ebony and Ivory.’ Society is gonna have to force these guys to do it … the scheduling, Em’s album, 50′s album — it’s all scheduling. We’ve talked about it the last three, four years. You would want to see it, right?”
Of course — just like we would love to see the Jay-Z and Nas album, the Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre album or even that T-Wayne LP. But, like Whoo Kid, we’ll believe it when we see it.
“I don’t think Em and 50 will ever get it together to do an album,” journalist Elliott Wilson said. “I know there was talk of [a joint album] when 50 first blew up and it was gonna be called Black and White. I personally love that title,” the founder and CEO of RapRadar.com continued. “I’m sure there are plenty of unreleased records they’ve done and some kinda compilation could be released one day. But as far as a full-fledged album recorded together, that’s doubtful. Then again, this is hip-hop, so what the f— do we know?”
DJ Whoo Kid added that when 50 and Em are in the studio, they bring out the best in each other.
“The element of Dre being there, too, brings their bars up,” Whoo Kid said. “They’re both excited, crazy. They’re already excited with each other. You see the verses are way up there, the creativity is way up there. 50 is influenced by [Em's] creativity where he crosses the line. The only time you see 50 buggin’ out is when they’re together. Whereas when 50′s solo, he’s creative too, but into the gangsta world, the thug sh–. Em showed him there’s other lines out there you can f— with.
“In the beginning it was business,” he continued about 50 and Em’s relationship. “They naturally grew into a family-type bond. 50 hangs more with Eminem and he’s more connected with Eminem than Dre. Not to say 50 and Dre don’t get along — they’re really cool, they’re friends and everything, but it’s mostly business. But 50′s gonna go to Eminem’s wedding, 50′s gonna go to Eminem’s barbecue, they’re gonna go on vacation together. They’re more into the family sh–.”
“Although I’ve never been around Eminem and 50 together,” Wilson told us, “I believe that their friendship is built on loyalty and trust. I think 50 is Em’s biggest fan and supporter who always shows his appreciation to Marshall for enabling him to build an incredible life. He doesn’t even know how to not show that gratitude. And 50′s probably one of the few people in this world Em can truly confide in.”
50 Cent Talks New Movie Caught In Crossfire + 1st Exclusive Pics
The Movie “Caught In Crossfire” gets filmed in Grand Rapids, Michigan since last Friday. Now first details about the story leak. The Movie is about police officers searching out crooked cops with the help of a police informant. The informant is being played by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson.
MLive quotes 50 Cent: “My part in the film is condensed. It’s an action-packed movie, but it’s not always black and white. It has a lot of gray.”
50 Cent also is an executive producer for “Caught In Crossfire” and the Movie is being backed by his new production company that he formed with film producer Randall Emmett.
Eminem visited his old friend Fiddy on the Set: “Eminem came to see me today. It’s funny — he told me he stopped at a gas station and walked in and out, and nobody recognized him. You get to a certain level of fame where you don’t want to be noticed. I like it (in Grand Rapids) because it’s quiet enough that we can come out here and focus.”
