Top 10 Best Songs On 50 Cent's Before I Self Destruct

Before I Self Destruct wasn't made to please radio execs or chase pop charts. This was 50 Cent getting back to that raw energy that put him on top in the first place. The hooks still hit, the beats go hard, but this time around, the vibe is darker. More personal. Like he was stepping into the booth with something to get off his chest and no interest in sugarcoating it.

Every track brings something different to the table. One minute he's airing out grudges like laundry, the next he's laying down verses so slick you almost forget how brutal the subject matter is. The production ranges from haunting and stripped-back to full-on cinematic. And the features don't feel tacked on. They slide in like part of the plan, not a sales boost.

The Top Ten

  1. Hold Me Down

    Better than Baby By Me, but not better than Stretch and Psycho. This song should be number 3 at least.

    Cool song, great beat too. By the way, I love it hard.

    The beat is pure water!

  2. So Disrespectful

    This song completely describes me.

    Pretty good and...

  3. Psycho

    This song sounds pretty smooth but badass too. It's like a mix of both!
