GarzaBloodNov 24, 2009The Album is sick!! The sound quality is state of the art and the Instrumentals are banging. I also like the Idea that he disses Jay Z. Overall Great Album!! Yes I am from the West Coast!! Diego City that is.

ValeriySDec 6, 2009I do think that it is the best thing he did except brilliant Massacre, and among the best rap albums of this year.

Apr 22, 2015After a boring album, 50 returns in is 2003's prime with Before I self destruct. He comes back to his aggressiveness and explosive rhymes on the mic and seems to polish it off with dope beats and a retrieved ability to let loose the animal inside him. Death to my enemies and Psycho are highlights of the album.

May 3, 2021Pulls off the violent aggressive songs with the love songs quite well. Nothing amazing like his first album but nothing bad apart from could’ve been you. Overall a pretty consistent decent album
-
Nov 16, 2022this one was a very good one. His second best album of his career, in my opinion
-
May 27, 2023some obvious fake 50 cent fans out there - dont recognise good music when they hear it
not the best album but defiantly up there
Awards & Rankings

His rhyme battle with Eminem on 'Psycho' has zero redeeming value, but the two old pros fire away with glee trying to out-psychopath each other. But about halfway through the album, 50 Cent detours from the street to the bedroom.
-
Growling violent threats over hard beats, 50 sounds the hungriest he has in years. Of course, there’s nothing remotely original about the formula he’s returning to, but at least he’s going through the motions with gusto.
-
After initially promising a return to form, 50 doesn't have the ability or initiative to hold the listener's interest over the long run.
