50 Cent
Album : The Massacre
Release Date : March 3th 2005
Label : Interscope Records

the massacre review :
50 Cent is now a full two dollars, according to pop culture exchange rates. His sheer influence on music charts, and thugs hearts, changed things. So why then on Massacre is the ’hood drama that one would think he’d want to leave behind even more front-and-center than on Get Rich or Die Tryin’ ? It’s hard to say, but 50’s developed a questionable gun fetish here. With firearms plastered all over the liner notes, and throughout most of his lyrics—on "In My Hood" he retorts "...I don’t go nowhere without my strap"—apparently his nouveau rich status has only accelerated the number of enemies he’s accumulated. On "I’m Supposed to Die Tonight" he even awkwardly forecasts Notorious B.I.G.-like, Tupac-ian rap game death scenarios. "Piggy Bank," a virtual diss fest further cements his "How to Rob" persona as Nas and Fat Joe get the lyrical smack down ; so does A-list actor Vivica Fox ("Get In My Car") for even daring to consider their rendezvous to be anything more than a fling. Despite beat contributions from Aftermath hombres (Eminem, Dr. Dre), some of the better beats come courtesy of lesser-known beatsmiths like Disco D ("Ski Mask Way") and the always consistent Hi-Tek, whose "Ryder Music" is a sick concoction of keys and haunting vocals. At 22 tracks (with no inane interludes), it’s worth the loot, but it doesn’t cover up 50’s artistic regression since Get Rich. —Dalton Higgins.

How can Curtis call Ja pussy for makin love songs, then come out with this album...What I think he jus mad cause he couldn’t do it first. I was never a fan of Curtis Jackson cause 1) HE AIN’T 50 CENT ! 2) Guess Who’s Back was weak as hell. 3) He ain’t hot. Period.

This goes to show that anybody can sell 8 Million coming out with Dre’s tracks, but alone that nigga ain’t shit.

GGGGGG G-UNOT !

50’s no freestyle battler. Styles is the hottest out of D-block. Plus ain’t nobody f**kin with BANK$ or YAYO out of D-block but Styles. So Kiss needs to stop HATIN cuz he ain’t makin no money. By the way didn’t that nigga BEANS kill Kiss (Sun Kiss)when they battle.

> Hip Hop Reviews, by [2005-03-25 00:39:14]

Don’t get me wrong D-Block is hot, yea (STYLES)only, but yo 50 ain’t no freestyler but kiss won’t battle BANK$ or YAYO cuz they the truth. So stop hatin on 50 cuz he cakin, but it really ain’t gone be nothing when 50 holla get him BANK$, BUCK, & YAYO, and they all come back with something Kiss gone be another Ja. Plus D-Block ain’t makin no money. G-Unit is always welcome to G-Vagas (Greenville NC). Fat Joe ain’t no competition/TS/or the D-Block w/the GGGGGGG-UUUUNNNNIT get it poppin
