Sources have told us that 50 Cent is changing the title of his album which means it will no longer be Before I Self Destruct as it has been previously mentioned. Apparently he wants to save that title for his final album. The new album title has yet to be revealed. Word also has it that 50 Cent spent a month in the studio with Dr. Dre. This puts a different spin on the upcoming album since Dre only did two songs on The Massacre. Expect to hear more of a Dr. Dre influence on this album.
