3TM Year In Review: Epic Fail of 2009 – 50 Cent’s Before I Self Destruct

Perhaps it is a sign of the times, but surely somebody as high-profile and schooled in the art of self-promoting as Curtis ’50 Cent’ should be able to move more than 160,000 units within the first week. It is not solely the sales figures that were disappointing with this album, but also the lack-lustre content and repetition of the same old Fiddy formula.

It must be noted that the album was not bad (for all of those who will insist that this piece is merely hating on 50), but surely an artist of his stature should be able to produce a project of a much higher standard. Enough 50-bashing for the day, but if you would like to read a little bit more about the epic fail of 2009 then you can always take a read of my Suite 101 editorial ‘How 50 Cent Self Destructed.’
