50 Cent Changes “Before I Self Destruct” With Dre’s Help

What 50 Cent originally planned for his new album and what the public will eventually hear are two different things. The rapper told MTV.com that he made a lot of changes to his long-awaited CD “Before I Self Destruct” after working with Dr. Dre in the studio. Fifty admitted what he has now is, quote, “about 30 percent of what I had when I felt like I was finished.” He cited the fact that many of the tracks were recorded a while ago. Fifty added, quote, “I’ve been playing it for myself for so long, I’m no longer as excited as I was when I wrote it for the first time.” The rapper’s “Before I Self Destruct” was originally slated to hit stores last December. However, it was pushed back so Dr. Dre could wrap up work on Eminem’s CD “Relapse,” which will be released May 19th. Fifty Cent has yet to issue a new release date for “Before I Self Destruct.”
