The album will also act as soundtrack to the feature-length movie accompanying the album on DVD. As well as starring in the movie, 50 Cent both wrote and directed it.
From Interscope Records:
Quote:
The film, Before I Self Destruct, is a coming of age story about an inner city youth raised by a hardworking single mother. When his dream of becoming a basketball player fails to materialize, he finds himself employed in a supermarket. After his mother is tragically gunned down, Clarence (played by Jackson), is consumed by revenge and takes up a life of crime in order to support his younger brother.
“My film captures the harsh realities that reflect so many communities today. There will be some who will greatly identify with the characters and the situations presented and then there will be others who may be shocked at the struggles that go on in the inner city,” states 50 Cent. “I made the film for both groups.”

Ha! This will never top 8 Mile, but oh well, a concept about a grocery shopper-turned-gangster seems... interesting...
| | | at the end of that quote it should say, "i made the film for the money." why is dr. dre wasting his time on with this talentless wannabe
| | | Why?
| | | What the hell? Was his first failure of a movie not good enough? 50 is way past his prime, I don't listen to his music but there was a time when he was everywhere. That time is gone.
I'm a little scared especially since he "wrote" the movie. And directed it. I mean there's no way it can be good is there?

| | | Movie looks so low budget.
| | | If only 50 went back in time and switched places with Brandon Lee, if only.
| | | “My film captures the harsh realities that reflect so many communities today. There will be some who will greatly identify with the characters and the situations presented and then there will be others who may be shocked at the struggles that go on in the inner city,”
and now thousands more will emulate you.
| | | Reminds me a bit of American Gangster, except I have no doubt album or movie won't be as good.
| | | ^^ Correction: Its American Gangster with a grocery shopper...

Best line ever
| | | Fuck him, he should go ahead and hang himself. His ''music'' is pure crap, needless to mention his stupid stereotypical lyrics. That kind of ''music'' should be banned from the surface of the planet. Fuck you 50 cents, that's even more than what your music is worth.This Message Edited On 10.14.08

| | | 50%. this fucker should only have 50 cents in his bank. What a horrible artist.
| | | "he says he's a ganster his real name's clarence"
| | | sup fiddy
| | | If every music artist can have there own clothing line...
| | | do it up fiddy
| | | Everyone who makes about 50 cents regarding the worth of 50 Cent's music should be hurt. LAME.
| | | I thought he quit. now he's back to prove he can make WORSE movies?
