Even though the 50 Cent exec produced documentary Two Turntables and A Microphone: The Life and Death of Jam Master Jay is included in 50 Cent’s deluxe version of Before I Self Destruct, you can actually just buy the documentary by itself on December 1st. 50 Cent and crew have actually sold off the distribution rights to Image Entertainment when it hits DVD. You can pre order now at Amazon.

So even though 50 might have only sold 120K+ units of his album, at least he is making money selling off distribution rights to his other properties. Unfortunately there are no takers for his Before I Self Destruct movie to be sold as a separate DVD…at least not yet. Check the new official trailer after the jump…

In this MTV News video, 50 Cent talks about how he got involved in the upcoming Jam Master Jay documentary Two Turntables and a Microphone which will be packaged together with deluxe editions of 50′s upcoming album “Before I Self Destruct.”

“He was somebody who impacted my career — you can say in the biggest way,” 50 explained to MTV. ” ‘Cause in my career, I was just in the infant stages, developing my song structure around Jay. The first time I was in the studio, [it was] with intentions of recording songs for an album with Jam Master Jay. He taught me how to count bars. I could rap already. I knew what I wanted to say, but he was showing me how I had to get it out around the right time. [He would say,] ‘That sounds crazy, you have to say it earlier in this verse.’ “

Although the JMJ doc will be in deluxe editions, 50 will also be adding his own movie, the VERY publicized Before I Self Destruct movie which was written, produced and directed all by himself. Album comes out December 9th.
