During a recent conversation with Rolling Stone, Curtis revealed some details about the movie he is working on to coincide with his final album on Interscope, Before I Self Destruct.
The film — which isn’t autobiographical — aims to show the complexities of what 50 refers to as “urban life” in a new way: “When [movies] portray certain lifestyles they don’t show cause and effect,” he says. “But I showed characters under pressure in scenarios where they felt like there were no other options, even though there were.” He adds, “There are always options. People just usually start to see them while being incarcerated — for not seeing them in the first place.”
It also seems that Boo Boo is doing whatever he has to do to make sure Jimmy Iovine eats as little as possible from this project. Rather than scoring the film, which will also be called Before I Self Destruct, with music from the album, he’s writing an entirely separate score and bringing in unsigned artists to spit the vocals.
