About a week ago, 50 Cent threw a shitty opening pitch at the Mets game. There, now I don't have to make a corny ass reference later in the write-up. Now we can get to business: In 2009, shorty after the release of his fourth full-length album Before I Self Destruct, 50 Cent found his career in a state of disarray. After a horrible reception to said album, he decided he needed a new approach to making music. That new approach would initially come in the form of Black Magic, an album inspired by European nightclubs. Curtis would then realize how horrible of an idea that was and shift his focus on crafting an album with the same aggression of Get Rich or Die Tryin'. This would eventually lead to 50 completing 80% of the album before receiving the news that his label, Interscope Records, would be having none of it. For whatever reason, they decided to push the album back until 2011, in favor of changing the title to Before I Self Destruct II.
