50 Cent Unfazed By "BISD" Leak, "The Response Is So Good That I Know [It's] A Hit"

PAP · 11-07-2009, 03:41 PM

50 Cent recently discussed his reaction to Before I Self Destruct leaking nearly a month in advance of its release date and why this project's focus is more based on generating interest for his live shows.

Fif also said he was confident in his fourth solo project's overall sound.

"All you gotta do is get the response," Fif explained to radio personality Jenny Boom Boom. "The response is so well, so good, that I know the record is a hit. So whether the consumed it from actually purchasing it or they got it off the web or wherever they got it from, when they hear it and enjoy it, they end up at the show. How can I focus on album sales now when it's to the point where my record is released four weeks before schedule. The marketing, everything that's planned to sell the actual record, is happening four weeks late, now that the record is out a month early. You know, those things are happening after they had an opportunity to hear it and it's confirmation to the doubters that the record wouldn't be good." (Jenny Boom Boom TV)

He recently announced plans to push up his album's release date.

"I'm pushing the record up so the date is [November] 16th," Fif revealed in an interview. "It'll be out on the 16th. I'm expecting it to do good because of the response that I've heard from the web. You know what I mean? It's obvious they didn't expect me to write the things that I wrote on the actual record, but, I don't know why. They're like 'This sh*t is fire.' What are you surprised for, stupid? Even the worst one did 700,000 the first week. It depends on who you're actually asking because you know who I identify with now? The actual aggression of my material is what came across the strongest because they want the hardest sh*t from me." (G-Unit Radio)

The alleged full album began to circulate on the Internet late last month.

50 Cent has become the latest musician to have his entire album leaked. On Wednesday, 50's upcoming fourth studio album leaked almost a month before its planned release date. The album, which was originally scheduled for release over a year ago, was pushed back until November 23 for an official release. So far, 50 Cent and Interscope Records have not commented on the situation. (Dime Wars)

A track listing of its songs have also been revealed.

Before I Self Destruct: The Invitation, Then Days Went By, Death To My Enemies, So Disrespect, Psycho, Hold Me Down, Crime Wave, Stretch, Strong Enough, Get It Hot, Gangsta's Delight, I Got Swag, Baby By Me (Featuring Ne-Yo), Do You Think About Me, Ok, You're Right, Could've Been You (This Is 50)
Before I Self Destruct is now slated to hit stores Monday, November 16th while the digital copy will drop a week earlier.

lmfaoooooooooooo

scirax · 11-07-2009, 04:26 PM

man 50 is a mastermind, he leaks his own album out one month before the "actual" release, so he can say the record sales wont be terrific coz u cant concentrate on albumsales if the album leaks 1 month too early. but no doubt i gotta give it to 50, album was way better than curtis, at least he comes with fire.

manonice89 · 11-07-2009, 05:50 PM

overall im liking the album more each time i listen... ill buy it

marmial · 11-07-2009, 05:58 PM

Joey111 · 11-07-2009, 06:14 PM

I wonder where exactly is he reading all these positive reviews ? If his only checking thisis50.com, that's unrealistic, he has to be smarter than that.

lol that's basically everytrack...He's reading the response on blog sites probably most likely This is 50...even though it's his site u probably think it's just his stans saying it's good but he still has haters and be having alot of disappointed fans that hate on his material that's not up to their liking that's why he always release his shit to his website first to see their reaction...

snoopeastwood · 11-07-2009, 07:29 PM

bisd is a great album. but im predicting that it will sell less than 150,000 units.

Yung_Rich · 11-07-2009, 07:29 PM

You forget that even on ThisIs50.com 50 got a lot of haters so if he based his conclusion on his own sites you can say he's right.

I agree with you that he has haters and a lot of disappointed fans but you have to agree that BISD got actually a positive response compared to the responses you would normally see when 50 drops material.

Anyway I didn't even downloaded the album. I just wait when it hits the stores so I can cop it.

BrebYayo · 11-08-2009, 01:35 AM

yea album is fire..i think its gonna sell real good too..especially with his movie in it and the jmj documentary..has long as they dont raise the price of the album cuz it comes with all that shit it will sell good

LargerThanLife · 11-08-2009, 04:19 AM

the album has typically been getting positive feedback all over the internet.
unless you go to thisisgame or listen to rick ross.

the leak is very bad for sales but the material that leaked has been quite well received.

Joey111 · 11-08-2009, 12:33 PM

I don't know about that. It is getting better response than Curtis (although Curtis is better for me) but the general vibe seems to be that it sounds too much like a mixtape and that he has shown no growth as an artist.

DemonicSinn · 11-08-2009, 06:58 PM

That nigga ain't worried about his record sales after his album just leaked? He in some serious denial.

Obey Me · 11-08-2009, 07:17 PM

50 cent always has and always will sell records .. i think he'll do 400k .. he still got a big fan base , and i dont mean the average 13 yr old suburban white boys that fuck with Young Money ..
