This is some new heat from 50 Cent, Do You Think About Me. Check it out and if you like it, you can download it from iTunes. His album, Before I Self Destruct, will be released on Monday, 11/16/2009. Also, Fifty Cent’s freshly launched fragance, Power, can be picked up at your local Macy’s.
As far as the whole album goes this is his best since, Get Rich or Die Tryin’ . The album is very hard besides a few tracks that are radio friendly. The production on this album, especially on the Dr. Dre songs, is tremendous.

“Have a baby by me baby, be a millionaire” Is this song for real????? Tupac, Biggie, and even Eazy E would be turning in their graves if they knew this garbage was hitting the airwaves. If it wasn’t for Neyo rescuing at least part of the song with his smooth chorus, this would have to be the worst hip hop song ever. Can rappers really put out this junk (and their own perfume) and be considered a Top 10 artist? Let me just sh*t on a record, make sure the radio DJ’s are paid enough to consistently play my tracks, and let the magic happen. That’s the #1 formula for these already established artists who think they can just do whatever they want on tracks and people will think it’s good music (a la Kanye West - Heartless). Time to step up your games and put out music that is socially conscious and can make a difference in music. Classics like Tupac’s “Dear Momma” or even the recent “Runaway Love” by Ludacris not only address some current issues in urban America, they also provide clever lyrics that tell a story. “Have a baby by me, baby, be a millionaire”???? Please. This music is awful.

Going off I feel you. Welcome to Corporate America. Jay-Z put it best, when he said, “Dear Summer baby, I got a new b****, corporate america; and you see, she is showing me a lot of action right now.” And I’m like well s***, I love Summer; don’t tell me now, you used to love H.E.R.? And before I know it, it’s Winter I’m f***ing cold! ICE COLD that is, word to Andre 3K from Kast. I mean for real, creative records never get airplay. How many Kid Cudi songs you heard on the radio? Have you heard the new Cudi record? SOUNDTRACK 2 MY LIFE, is the soundtrack to my life. But artists are making records that can crossover genres, so they can get paid everytime it spins. A & R’s are like alright let’s game plan a strategy to be able to get this record played during commericals for the NBA’s game of the week on ABC during that PrimeTime viewing hour. This is important because Disney owns ABC, you know Disney as in Mickey Mouse; as in a “Family Network”. All one has to do is follow the tentacles of the beast to the top of the mount to find out who is making all the decisions within the music business. And only records within a certain format need apply. It’s like expecting to get into VIP for less than a Grande if you don’t already know somebody, it ain’t happening. The music industry just went through some weird metamorphosis, anyway. Everyone downloading records from iTunes or whatever music service you use, hurts overall album sales on the Billboard Charts because digital sales really didn’t or don’t register. And having that number one record on the Billboard Hot 100 is a marketing tool. Not to mention people who illegally download songs that nobody gets paid for is totally f***ing up the game. And consumers or fans don’t have those few extra bucks to buy a ticket to a concert and that is where artists make all their money. So if artists aren’t bringing in any money there is no budget to spend on making and marketing a new record. NO MONEY, NO MUSIC. So most cats aren’t at liberty to do whatever they want as far as creativity wise. And yeah, 50, used to be able to just hand off a new record and expect to do his numbers but that ain’t the truth anymore. 50 gets no love and that’s a fact. I think it’s just a sign of the times being reflected into the music. Cats just want to make money man they don’t give a f*** about me or you. Just listen to an older R&B record like Marvin Gaye’s, After The Dance, and compare it to let’s say Mario’s, Break Up, joint. I mean I am not hating but when dude sings, “You going get me up, I’m a take ‘em down, I’m gonna change my ways”. WTF is he singing about? Marvin would never sing about “take ‘em down” and this is the same mother****** who made, “Sexual Healing”. At least, “Have a baby by me, baby, be a millionaire” is a bite from his own song, “I Get Money”, when he raps, “Have a baby by me, baby, be a millionaire, I’ll write the check BEFORE the baby comes, who the f*** cares?”
