50 CENT: Self Destruction finally commences



Before I Self Destruct, what an apt title. 

After chasing Kanye around to borrow some shine on his release date, December 9th 2008 now becomes the date to mark the end of 50's career. 

Coming into a label situation with a life story behind him that was a marketing mans dream, the first album could not fail. After putting the first 26 years of his life into that project, there was nothing left. 

He used beef as a gimmick, of which the karmic effects have come back to haunt him. Backing from the "streets" or the illusion of this is wearing thin as a reason for people to go out and buy music. His interviews are often intriguing and interesting but he doesn't possess the want or skill to transfer this side of him onto record. He proceeded to make music with the pop audience his first priority. Now its likely his career will end with a whimper and as undignified as a pop star.

At least he's got his acting career to fall back on?
