50 Cent - The Massacre: Album Review

50 Cent, The Massacre (Aftermath, 2005)
It's been a while since I've done one of these intoxicado, so my bad in advance if it comes out a little screwy. I knew this was going to be bad just because these things always are, but that Game album had my hopes up that there still might be some excellent production on here. Sadly, that's not the case here at all. Some of these songs are better than others, but none of them are really worth listening to.

INTRO

Some chick says something about Valentines Day and then you just hear a whole buncha gun noises. I don't know about the rest of you, but I think it's pretty cool that the album begins with a chick being shot. You don't see enough chicks getting shot on rap albums. Slapped maybe, but not shot.

IN MY HOOD

The beat to this first one has that classic hip-hop thump to it combined with some lame, Aftermath-esque keyboard tones. Bad as it is, it doesn't get much better on this album. His lyrics on this one are nothing special, but it's not like they ever were either.

THIS IS 50

OK, this is getting boring already. I like how these silly, "ominous" backing tracks don't make Fiddy any scarier at all in the least bit. One thing that I'll admit is kinda cool is the way they incorporated the little drum roll from the beginning of Biggie's "Things Done Changed." I bet that was The Game's idea.

I'M SUPPOSED TO DIE TONIGHT

Oh goody, another one about the time he got shot. I was hoping there'd be one of those on here!

PIGGY BANK

I like the fact that he's going after other MCs (hopefully somebody will get shot), but this beat is just the audio equivalent of a back-alley abortion (minus the positive outcome). I don't even want to finish listening to it.

GATMAN AND ROBBIN' (FEAT. EMINEM)

This is an improvement. I'm pretty sure it's an Eminem production, just because they all sound more or less the same, but the shitty nature of this one in particular kinda fits this song's novelty theme. Em's ridonkulous second verse only reminds me of how joyless it can be to listen to 50 Cent rap.

CANDY SHOP (FEAT. OLIVIA)

I'm sure you've all heard this one already. It's very similar to the classic-by-comparison "Magic Stick" by Fiddy and Lil' Kim. The fact that he would pull something so brazen just makes me glad I've never spent a dime on 50 Cent.

OUT OF CONTROL

On the other hand, 50 Cent lives in a house that's as big as at least 2 houses in my neighborhood (hey, I never said I was poor), so obviously somebody's been buying his shit. There's nothing at all remarkable about this song. Sorry.

GET IN MY CAR

Ah, sweet ignorant pimp shit. If only every song on here was about how women aren't worth a shit other than sex and, um, cleaning. Which is not to say that that's true. That's so far from the truth. It just makes for a good song.

SKI MASK WAY

Remember that one Edan song about robbing people? (If not, just pretend like you do.) Well, it's kinda like that, only more teh ghey. Still, it's the best song on here by a long shot. The chorus, as you might have guessed, is "borrowed" from Biggie's verse from the "Flava In Your Ear" remix.

A BALTIMORE LOVE THING

If this is what happens when 50 Cent attempts to be creative, let's hope he never feels that urge again in life. 50, I think (I wasn't paying that much attention), rhymes from the perspective of a baggie of coke or some shit. The results are just embarassing.

RYDER MUSIC

Speaking of baggies of coke, is that D'Angelo in the background to this? It's good to see him back doing music again, even if it isn't any good. Nothing about it at all to me says "ryder."

GAYEST LINE ON THE WHOLE ALBUM: "Somebody said I was homophobic. Shit, go to the hood. Plenty of niggas are on my dick."

DISCO INFERNO

Again, you've heard this one. It's not any good, even if the video (go find that shit) is probably the best thing that's happened to me in the last month.

JUST A LIL BIT

The beat for this one is going for that whole Asian thing. I'm sure the critics will love this one, since most of them, for whatever reason, happen to be Asian. It's not very good though.

GUNZ COME OUT

I could tell this one was going to be bad from the title, so I didn't bother to listen to it.

MY TOY SOLDIERS

This song has nothing to do with that horrendous Eminem/Martika "Toy Soldiers" bullshit, but it still manages to be pretty bad anyway. Whoever the lame-ass, unlisted guest MC is makes what must be the first reference to the Tsunami on a rap album.

POSITION OF POWER

The beat for this is alright in a "not really good but not really bad" kinda way, but 50 Cent doesn't do anything especially interesting with it. Actually, it is kinda interesting that the chorus doesn't seem to have that much to do with the verses, and the first verse doesn't seem to have much to do with the second one.

BUILD YOU UP

Very teh ghey. 50 somehow managed to combine 1990-era Father MC with that one song that was Fabolous' first hit and then somehow make it suck worse than either one of them.

GOD GAVE ME STYLE

Oh no! I bullshit you not, this is a rap cover of that one shitty "God Put a Smile on My Face" song by Coldplay. Wow. I guess he figured if Ja Rule could cover Joan Osbourne, or whatever her name is, then he should cover Coldplay? Did his white CPA let him borrow this CD? Can somebody explain this one to me.

SO AMAZING (FEAT. OLIVIA)

I was hoping that this would also be a cover - in this case, of that one Luther Vandross song - but it isn't. The chorus is actually pretty close to an interpolation of an old Stevie Wonder record, but I doubt it's credited, since it is a little bit different. It's also a little bit teh ghey.

I DON'T NEED EM

Wow. At first I was like, "Hey, that kinda reminds me of the beat from Ghostface's 'Metal Lungies.'" Then I was like, "Fuck, that is the beat from Ghostface's 'Metal Lungies.'" It's slowed down or something and not nearly as cool as the Ghostface version, but it's still better than a lot of the shit on here.

HATE IT OR LOVE IT REMIX (FEAT. G-UNIT)

You might remember this one from that Game album from a month ago. Fiddy more or less dominated that version, as he does here on the remix with some more of his weed carriers. I like Fiddy as an MC way more than I like Teh Ghey, but Teh Ghey had superior production on his shit. This song is way better than anything else on here.

COMMENTS: Wow. This album has to be one of the most egregious examples of "attempting to cash in on tired ass formulas that white people still spend money on" since Jay-Z quit recording. At least Jay-Z's conceited enough to shell out for great producers, as if he could somehow buy a great album. 50 has obviously decided to take the Ludacris career path and not even pretend he gives a shit. If you buy this, you're a fucking idiot.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT AND DISCUSS: In 1985 Duran Duran was commissioned to write a theme song to that year's James Bond film (the one with Christopher Walken, IIRC). At a loss for ideas (they were, after all, Duran fucking Duran), they just took one of their old songs (some shit about "dancing into the fire") and renamed it "A View to a Kill." If you notice, the lyrics don't have much to do with James Bond, but, at certain points throughout the song, they do shout, "A view to a kill!"

Comments

[Mbari]

It sucks

[raj]

um that album cover deserves a (no homo)

[Chico]

Im on track 9. So far this album stinks. And not in an Anti G-unit way...but in a genuine i-hate-bad-music way. This isnt good at all. Wait, Track 10 - Ski Mask Way...not bad. Maybe even tight.

[Homes]

Surprised you didn't call him out for the rampant singing. What happened to rappers rapping, and when they needed to be all ghey they could call in their R&B dicksuckers?

[Chico]

>>this is a rap cover of that one shitty "God Put a Smile on My Face" song by Coldplay.

Ive never heard one single treble clef note out of Coldplay, but this is for sure a sample that Cormega rocked too. And rocked much better, I might add. Some song about the old days in the projects...before his days in the jig house, I suppose.

Anyway, this album is trash. Not quite as bad as restaurant trash, or even kitchen trash for that matter, but its trash nonetheless...Id say office, wastebasket trash is a good measurement.

[flyno20]

>The beat for this one is going for that whole Asian thing. I'm sure the critics will love this one, since most of them, for whatever reason, happen to be Asian. It's not very good though.

Haha.

G-G-G-G-Unit!!!!

[carla]

Is there a cd that you actually give a good review? Like when I see a new review I already know your going to say its bad.

[Johnny Whitewater]

^ Bol's given a few good reviews. I was somewhat surprised that he gave Amerikaz Nightmare a good review, for example.

Anyway, this shit was horrible. What a waste of my time.

[Djlethal01]

What a piece of shit, I pray it flops with only 3x plat.

[ahmed]

UR WEB SITE SUX ASS

This album is the shiiit
iz tyte go cop it

[djxplicit]

^people who like shitty music usually misspell shit on purpose. like all dipset dickriders mispell seem to misspell to make up for the fact that their "leader" is the absolute gayest person on the face of the earth.

[G-Unit]

Damn ahmed.....wut the hell u hatin for!

Show Fiddy some love. Some of these joints r tight! You apparently ain't got no taste. Not like you can rap for shit; you ain't makin millions so go f urself fiddy hata! and who the hell says "dipset dickriders"...nobody...thatz exactly wut u! DON'T TRIP! and y u gotta bring homos into everythang homey! wuteva 50 tight and all yall realest people kno it...and that all that matters.

G-G-G-G-G-Unit!

[G-Unit]

my bad ahmed i meant stop hatin "djexplicit"

PEACE!!!

[50 SUcks]

People who ususally mis - spell things are 12 years old and like shitty commercial rap so they defend shitty commercial rappers and try to equate money with rapping skill like the clown DJ explicit.

And some kid tried to tell me that this album would be better then illmatic before hearing it, and candy shop was on the radio by that point for fucks sake.

[hate_haters]

u are all haters i know im 13 yeras old and i know that this cd is not great it would never campared to the illmatic but every song is pretty good some worse some better but still much better listening than a lot of crap thats out now but what good review have u heard in these page

[Vlad]

i haven't got the album, but i'm hoping for it to be great and 50 + the rest of g-unit u guys are my idols. G-Unit till i die

[V-Lad]

i don't kno y ppl hate 50 so much, like the guy worked his ass off to become wut he is now i admire wut he has done and i fully support CJ and the G-Unit gang. payce

[Vl-ad]

50 is 25 timz beter than 2...pac.

[2face]

^Fiddy better than pac??? hmmmm lemme think.....NEVER!!!! The album was not all what I expected, has some good traks on there. Not at all a total flop as the review makes it out to be. Fiddy got some skills, don't hate, congratulate.

[WarriorMentality]

>>>In 1985 Duran Duran was commissioned to write a theme song to that year's James Bond film (the one with Christopher Walken, IIRC). At a loss for ideas (they were, after all, Duran fucking Duran), they just took one of their old songs (some shit about "dancing into the fire") and renamed it "A View to a Kill." If you notice, the lyrics don't have much to do with James Bond, but, at certain points throughout the song, they do shout, "A view to a kill!"

...wow.

y'know, i probably never would've picked up on that unless you said something. hmm.

anyway, bol, in regards to 50, i've always been a big fan, but back in the days when those bullet wounds were fresher, literally and metaphorically. i went out of my way to download "power of the dollar," and really enjoyed "guess who's back," all of which were indicative of a nigga w/a real hunger for the game, who wasn't fat off the candy shop. even his hypocritical singsongy hooks were serious.

i'm afraid to listen to this, but i'm gonna do it because everybody's bubble gets bursted sometime, but i'd just like to take the time to say that, unlike the pseudo backpackers who visit here frequently, i'll give props to anybody who sells out in the game that came from as much nuthin' as 50 did. let's not pretend like we don't like money here, people.

T.

[jlangman]

I personally don't think it matches up to Encore or his First CD Get Rich or Die Trying, but for a varied music taste, i will let something grow on me if it doenst sound like shit, i think he did a good approach going at what he did, i think it sounds good, and that the CD isnt a total let down, he has just matured more in his m usic and in himself as a w hole, you can tell by the way he raps and portrays himself now, i think he did a good job, nuff siad.

[supanicemic]

yo this shit is respectable, you fucks need to take the stick outta your asses and show some love......xplicit....how come ever album review from you is somethin negative? whats your idea of good music give me a few artists' names so i can get an idea of where the fuck your commin from with your hattin ass steeze?

[supanicemic]

im sorry i would like to retract my previous statement..i listined to the entire album while i was sober and i beleive that this album is complete shit. fitty can suck on my dick, infact i could take 9 shots from a .22 also. what a pussy ass bitch. someone should serve him one shot from a .40 or a .45 or a .44 magnum and see if he walks that shit off.

[ChAos]

Aight well first of all none of you guys no wut the fuck u guys talkin bout...the songs ain't normal fitty caliber tats true, 50 always makes club bangers n shit like that (In da Club, disco inferno, Candy Shop in a way) .. and everyone loves him.. n den wen 50 comes out with shit that he really feels, somma the shit that 50 spits out on this album is pureeee heat.. just cuz he ain't makin a track tat bitchz could grind and shake dey ass in the club to ain't no reason to hate..shit nas ain't never made a club banger all he does is lyrical hot and ya give him props..listen to teh album again n listen to teh shit that 50 sprays ya know wut im talkin bout then

[Joshua]

What a dissaster! Get Rich Or die tryin' was a whole other album. But that album good some good productions.

[RegnisnuM]

Where'd you get the cd...It comes out on March 8th.

[Rah]

"Clickidy Clank Clickidy Clank
The money goes into my piggy bank"
"Kelis said her milkshake bring all the boys to the yard and Nas went and tatooed the bitch on his arm."

This song is wack. All it's going to promote is wack comebacks from Fat Joe. Jada's and Nas' will probably be interesting.....probably. Either way it's not a big deal.

The cover of the album look so fake and retarted. It look like one of those fake posters in some carnavals where you stick your head into to pretend the muscular body is yours.

[Rah]

They are already selling the bootlegs on the corner....which is why he pushed the album back.

[buster]

This album is total garbage. I noticed the Metal Lungies beat the second I heard that song. 50 fell off.

[1stRegiment]

haha what kinda hip-hop reviewer is this, who calls shit "teh ghey"? haha you're wack son

[jlangman]

I think you guys are all being to harsh honestly, everyone was all against Eminem for his Encore Album, if you think about it, if an artist keeps coming out with the same stuff his shit wont sell, it gets old fash, GRODT got so old and overplayed it got annoying, this is something really new from Fiddy and i definately think he pulled it off, no it doesnt compare like i said, but it's not bad, its just showed a bit more maturation in his music, another step he took.

Eminem for Example, go listen to EACH ONE OF HIS CD"s Straight Back to the Back in the order of releasal, you wll notice each CD sounds different, and everyone bashes artists for the fact that their new albums dont sound like their last one, WELL WTF IS THE POINT ON coming out with another album if its going to be similar to his last, its lame, and i think you are all being to harsh, i think it's a good album, mediocre, not SUPER DUPER AWESOME but its a good album, and everyone is being way to harsh.

[Gunit..]

Album is good if you like gunit, and if you don't like gunit obviosuly your going to hate it...
For me i like the album there are about 4-5 songs that can be hits in the club...
Although i'm pretty sure can do MUCH better then this album he will be coming out with another one this year...
Any album, with probably the best producer Dr.DRE will never turn out "shit" or crap...
if i had to give a review on this album out of /10, it would be probably be a 6.8/10...

Gunit.

[Gunit]

to add to my comment above:

Oh i would just like to say that rumour had it that 50cent made this cd in 3days! how many artists can do that?
face it 50 got it all right now... rap to any beat and artist one on one hes got good publicity and nonetheless working with EMINEM, and DR DRE...
No stopping him

[Wordz]

The Whole Fuckin Commercial Non Commercial Rap Issues R simple either U Like his Shit Or U Dont
But Bein A Good Jounalist Is All Bout Being Objectif And Dont Compare Commercial With NON Commercial Rap Cuz They R 2 COMLETELY Different Things Dumbass Commercial Shit Sells And Is All Bout Poppy Beats And Poppy Lines So In That Sense Its A Good Album But IF U Compare It To Artists who take a More Genuine approach Then Of Course It Falls SHORT Thats OBVIOUS Ur A Fuckin Retard

[G_Unit_rox!]

Dude,
All of you haters hatin on 50 suck!!! 50 and the whole G-Unit posse rock. I don't know why you guys have to always talk down on the greatest MC ever! If it wasn't for 50, hip hop would be in a state of emergency. Game is the greatest MC ever to come from the West Coast and Young Buck is the greatest to ever come from down South. G Unit ROX!!!

[Sam Brown]

by all means down load the beats that grow on u bt dont buy this shit. Use the money 2 buy a nice mothersday gift u pussys. Overall dis album is bull shit, he makes artists like chingy look like a lyrical genius cos 50, ur chattin shit

[Martin]

The new 50 Cent album is very down to earth produced. I doesn't reach the hights of his underground rapping career. But when signing with major Labels like Dre and Eminem, the beats and lyrics have to be catchy.. Cuz its all about the money aka "the doe"

I thought when i heard the album the first time that it sucked, but it get better for every time you hear it, if you ask me. Well im a amateur producer myself and i think that i could create some better beats than some of them on the album

Take care

Peace

[djxplicit]

> People who ususally mis - spell things are 12 years old and like shitty commercial rap so they defend shitty commercial rappers and try to equate money with rapping skill like the clown DJ explicit.

LOL...the kid says the same shit as me on every point and then calls me a "clown" for "disagreeing" with "him". In other words, he makes the same arguement as I did and calls me out for disagreening with that same arguement.

[djxplicit]

i think its the rather confusing layout of the comments section. it actually looks like i said "Show Fiddy some love". PEOPLE LISTEN: the comment's author's name shows up AFTER the comment

-djxplicit

[Dice]

Who ever did this review on The Massacre is a huge idiot that doesnt know what rap is. You probably listen to Nelly or Chingy or some gay ass shit. 50 is the hottest rapper in the game to date. He is not the best alive due to Jay-Z but hes right behind him. This album will have record selling numbers. Who ever wrote this review dont ever right another one. Im sure you'll think the new Fat Joe album is good, soft-ass. G,G,G,G,G, G-Unit!!!!!

[Lordlexx]

Awesome review. The part about Duran Duran was hilarious

[Cable]

God, this is horrible. Not worth buying.

[Cable]

I went halfway listening through listening to this album and said it was horrible. I'm towards the end and it's still horrible.
50 cent is a faggot ...

[z]

I'd shoot this nigga because his music is so terrible. Give me a gun and I'll take his life. Who's with me?

[Rain]

Don't worry is career will end soon with this latest piece of garbage.

[suzy AKA cable, z, rain]

Ok, I apologize for the remarks I made about 50's new album. I was excited about downloading Massacre, but then I was disappointed and diddnt handle it well when I finally listened to it. To some this may be a classic and I'm sure it will post Plantinum.

[big b]

fuck byroncrawford.com...

G-G-G-G
G- Unit

[wc757]

what u ppl hating on 50 for u mad cuz u a wanna be rapper and didnt make it dont hate on a dude out there doing what god gave him the ability to do you hating as mothafuckers

gggggggg unit

[RegnisnuM]

Lol...i found a copy of the cd on a torrent site...the cover that came with it said "Fuck webrips, fuck bootleggers, and fuck CBR"...and besides the fact that i dont know what 'CBR' is...i get the point.

anyways....I listened to this cd the first time and i was like "wtf, this shits dumb." it wasnt the hard shit i expected and wanted out of a gangster like 50. But i listened ta it again...not so bad the second time...even better the third...I did the same thing with the Encore cd...its the kind of cd that you have to listen to more than once before it grows on you.

[JJ]

I can't believe how some of you guys are dissin the new album, you gotta be cracked out to be sayin shit like that...who the hell are you to judge the music anyway, most of you act like it should have the same roots as "get rich" did. The whole point of makin a new album is to try new things and thats exactly what 50 did, I respect him for takin a risk and tryin somethin new. In my opinion, i think that there are atleast 12 songs on here that are really fuckin catchy, its good shit,you guys are on drugs.

[flyno20]

When I get dusted, I like to spread the blood like mustard

[BL4TT]

i dunno, i don't like the whole G-unit thing, i think it's just a rip off for them make money, a hustle, they make trendy junk that gets stuck in ur head, u hear kids on the streets chantin G-unit it's all advertisment get's their stuff sold more, this is just another example of how like trash their music is, i havn't hurd the game album, but i did like the young buck for the most part, anyways this whole album he's stealing lines n what not from oter ppl, the track 8, out of control he steals the one line from the song "set it off" albums garbage whish i never wasted a blank disc on it... : )

[jj]

BL4TT, you got a point, but id have to disagree, i know all that shoot em up shit might get old but it is fun is hell to hear...i have the game album which is great lyrically and musically, it is worth buying,trust me.

[djxplicit]

> wasnt the hard shit i expected and wanted out of a gangster like 50.

oh yeah...21 questions. what a fucking "gangster". fuck 50 cent (no homo). fuck encore (no homo?).

-djxplicit

[1stRegiment]

you guys are wack as shit, stop hating, so many haters on his nuts, shit man. bout 90% of you dont even know what hip-hop is, where do u come off judgin his shit? fuckin 10 yr white kids listen to rap now and try to judge it, some bullshit

[RegnisnuM]

I'm 17 and from Hawethorne california. Not the nicest place ta live...my schools got armed guards, one way in, one way out, guy at the front has a shotgun. Thats not some white kid just judging hip hop...i'm not some rich kid who tries to be cool by listenin ta rap. Its what i've grown up with...its what i live around.

Truth is...i listened ta the cd multiple times...and its better each time...it gets catchy...like i said before...just gotta get used ta it.

and yea...21 questions isnt a gangster song...but Many Men, Dont Push Me, You Not Like Me, Wanksta, Fuck You, What Up Gangsta, and more from his Get Rich Or Die Tryin and Guess Who's Back cds are. I'm not tryin ta diss this cd, i think its tite...but name one song on here thats gangster? and name a song that actually brings out what its like ta live that life.

Still a good cd though.

[HvnBESIDEme85]

i think his new stuff is pretty cool, lyrically it ain't compared to get rich or die tryin but the way he raps makes the music awesome, he got the right kind of attitude and humor to make it a great cd, the more i listened the more i liked every song, the only songs im not crazy for are gatman and robin and gunz come out...the gatman one is real flat and sounds kinda borin and gunz come out chorus is annoyin, im not tryin to judge but thats what i feel.overall i think this cd is way better than average cds

[djxplicit]

> fuckin 10 yr white kids listen to rap now and try to judge it, some bullshit

10 yr white kids = 50 cent's primary audience

>Not the nicest place ta live...my schools got armed guards, one way in, one way out, guy at the front has a shotgun

right...whatever. that doesnt mean 50 cent is any good.

> and yea...21 questions isnt a gangster song...but Many Men, Dont Push Me...

my point wasnt "50 cent doesnt make gangster songs". it was "50 cent is no gangster

>it gets catchy...like i said before...just gotta get used ta it

LOL. yeah well...the tetris theme songs get catchy once you get used to them. that means shit.

-djxplicit

[FairXchange]

This 50 Cent shit cannot touch nor even be compared to the rap that is considered to be great. Never say 50 Cent is a talented rapper because Nas, Immortal Technique, Jr Writer, and other mc's will destroy the very foundation he walks on. Fuck a fan who hasn't gone through puberty, 50 represents stereotypical black ignorance where other rappers in this bullshit game attempt to make a difference with the shit they say. Byron spoke the truth on this one.

[RegnisnuM]

I never said it was one of the greatest cds, or that he was one of the greatest rappers. But not every song you like, or every cd you like has to come from someone you consider the "greatest" in their genre of music.

Or are you telling me that every cd you own and every artist's song you like comes from the greatest artist?

I still stick to the fact that this cd is decent...not horrible...but not one of the cds that i would blast all the time. I like it.

*Beauty is in the eye of the beholder*
(everyone has a right to think what they want, and voice it...so dont get so pissed at people for hatin it, or given love to it)

[wc757]

yall some stupid mothafuckers race dont mean shit if u like rap music you know what its about and far as someone being a gansta in rap music its highly unlikly but its about the image and he plays it good not every rapper can say they been shot 9 times and live no matter what kinda gun they got shot with like i said b4 you just hating cuz u not 50 or pac and making the money they make or getting the girls you envy them because u dont have what it takes to rap or be like them talent and u keep saying nas is good and all this other ppl are better compare top tracks and record sells to 50 and theres no comparison 5o is better dumbasses

[FairXchange]

Holy fuck, the ignorance of some on the internet. Do you realize that skill is not measured by success and the money one makes, or the women one has the opportuniy to abuse? It is based on the wordplay and skillful depiction of what one is about. You mention being envious of 50 and Tupac..yes, I'm quite envious of someone who is dead. But you didn't know that? Your opinion does not count if you didn't even know he died. How can someone into commercial rap even pertend to be right. Accept that you have no taste, and continue on. Seriously, you probably think Ludacris is the shit.

[50]

Yall some punk bitch haters this album is the hottest shit to hit the rap scene in a long ass time. And no1 can touch 50 he the hottest rapper out.

[fallout boy]

Shit...this cd isnt bad, not a classic, but better than i expected. I used to turn a deaf ear to mainstream too, until i realized that there is a lot good shit out there. 50 isnt the greatest lyricist out there, but he can rhyme, and almost every track here has a good hook, which is one of the hardest things to do.

[eric bell]

For one thing the guy who made this review is a total deuschebag. One for thinking he knows 50 cent and ludacris enoguh to pass judgement on them,and 2 for calling the massacre a bad album. this wasnt 50's greatest album but it wastn as abd as he made it sound.

[G-unite]

Hey.
50 cent is the future..ill drop all these whiteboys that fuk with him..eminem is a shit rapper, he usually doesnt rhyme to the beats as 50 does..i would definetely buy this cd if u dont ur a motherfukin whiteboy

[G-unite]

theres only one way to judge rap..eminem and 50 cent are both pretty popular but 50 cent has the best idea of rap..i don understand where the fuk that fukin whiteboy rapper eminem learnt how to rap..if u listen to encore..nearly all his songs have swear words in them..50 cent is the future and this album is gonna b huge and half of ma skool is already buyin it..

PS:wogs and white boys dont reeli noe how to judge music

[Lil'G]

-.-...all of you 50 haters rly suck!! this Cd isnt bad...i think it's better then lots of shit selling right now.
GGGGG G-unit!!

[Fair_Xchange]

You all need to get a fucking grip, listen to the instrumental if that's what catches your attention. If Nas fucked with Dre you wouldn't give two shits for the words he said. 50 basically repeats bars I've heard before with words switched around. If anyone was a better judge to music, it would be a white boy, who tend to gradually realize their listening to monotonous garbage and switch to some Talib, where they graduate to a real judge of talent.

[fallout boy]

nas has fucked with dre son...sounds like you need to step ya game up

[katalyzm]

i haven't got the album, but i'm hoping for it to be great and 50 + the rest of g-unit u guys are my idols. G-Unit till i die

Idols? do you know what that word means? You need to get a life Vlad.

50 is 25 times better than 2pac? do you have hairs on your nuts? i doubt it dude.

Fuck you Vlad.. bitch!! Get a life and that goes to all you G-unit hoes out there.. Fuck you!!

i wish i could turn 50 cents white, he is embarrasing black people. If he were white this mother focker wouldnt even sell 2X Plat. Young white people experiment before they get out of college, get a job and settle down. So they try A little rap here, a fraternity party there .. BullShit!! Thats how faggots like Fifty are promoted, can you imagine Another beefed up Marky mark talking gansta shit selling 11 Million in these times? These republicans just wouldnt have iT. Yes, i am borderline rascist and homophobic. Thats exaclty why i hate 50, coz everyone thinks niggers cant see beyond the bling of a chain or the barrel of a gun (50 only reinforces this stereotype) and when you hit the Gym they think you a fag like 50. And dont talk about the hood or the streets , i could give a fuck about that shit!! Fuck!!@

[TRZ]

Theres a lot of bullshit already written on this album, but after downloading the bootleg, get rich or die tryin is better in my opinion. Its like fifty toned himself down for this one... What happened to the quick witty snappy sound of fifty? I think it got lost like the fuckin bootleg on isohunt.

This album is fuckin slow. Make it faster or ill fall asleep at the wheel while listening.

The following posters realy need to step their fuckin game up in regard in posting bull shit:

G-Unite - you really said some dumb racist shit son. Its 2005. Get real.

V-Lad - Pac has better mic skillz, listen to some of his live shit... 50 is just another name. Here today gone tomorow. Pacs music is the hotest, and will remain that way.

And this review.... Song by song? Give me a fuckin break. Its an album... Like what the fuck is that? "..The results are just embarassing..."

Your reviewing this like you want to hear something different... Snap out the nap and get a better stereo if it doesnt sound good,,,

big up to djxplicit telling it like it is. Fuck a fan who hasnt gone through puberty.

[GH]

u all need 2 really stop hatin cuz who really gives a shit if a few ppl say bad shit bout his cd its gonna need 2 take millions n no matta wa u say bout his cd ppl r still gonna love him n hes still gonna make millions...n if u say his cd suks so much dont mean the whole world aint gonna buy it every1 has different opinions..btw wtf kinda website is this? talkin shit bout ppls new cd's wow i want u 2 actually go up to 50 n b like yo i hate ur cd it sucks..i wanna c wa happens..

[Jeff]

[50 man]

who the fuck r u to review the most talented rapper in the universe u know nothing about good music. i bet u listen to dat ja-rule shit he sucks

[charlzy]

I must admit there are a few good songs on this album...

But his first album was on another level production wise and rap wise...

This wasn't expected i thought it would be promising..maybe the next one..

[HvnBESIDEme85]

This album is really really good...at first i thought it was a descent album with a good amount of catchy songs on here, but now that i kept listenin to it for like the 5th day now i really think its an impressive album, it's not as good as the first but if you really think about it,how many albums are.

I like his cockiness and shoot em up shit...its all for the hype out there.i am not bullshittin though, some of you will think im crazy but there are about 18 songs on this that i can listen to and like em better everytime,he has different flows on every song and they all have a unique feel, somethin different from other cds.

Some of my favorites are " i'm supposed to die tonight, "piggy bank", "disco inferno", "outta control" "ryder music", "candy shop" "get in my car", "position of power", "i don't need em", "my toy soldier" fuck it guys, i aint got time to list the others hahaha, this is the shit.. great album!

so all of you 50 haters, fuck you...i dont give a shit what you say, this cd is fuckin awesome...he is the sickest rapper out there,who ever agrees say g g g g unit!

[HvnBESIDEme85]

o yea, dont forget to catch ALL EYES ON 50 CENT on mtv, its goin to be fucked up,cant wait

[ScuBa]

holla front to bol, TRZ, and djxplicit. I respect all those opinions and agree that 10 year old white boys without nuthairs (no homo) should shut their damn mouths. I have not yet heard the whole album but hope it's good. I didn't like 50 at first but he grows on you (no homo). I like but dont care for G-Unit but I want something new in the SemIpod. anyways, these reviews are always helpful even if i dont always agree. keep up the good work bol. And for those of you who post but can not spell correctly, please stop and focus before u post because reading your illiterate nonsense gives me a headache.

im downloadin the whole CD rite now and so far listening to it its pretty good, not great tho. I Love 50 and couldnt wait for it to come out and i just had to download the songs, im probly still gunna buy the real thing tho as the quality of sound is better on the real thing.

[Jfer 33]

this new album isnt anything special , you have GRODT which compiled pretty much half the cd as a hit on the radio and T.V. , 50 hit it big last time but i cant see many of his new songs becoming anything like past ones , the only thing keepin his head above water is Dre and Em , everyone produced by them has done very well such as Obie trice n D12 .this reminds me of Jay-Z with the blueprint2 , it sucked so bad he re-made it to the blueprint2.1 , desperate? you bet , but lets wait n see how mr.50 does on the charts , but as a fan basis ... its about average

i luv 50 cent..hes the BEST THING THAT HAPPENED TO HIP HOP since 2pacs shit dropped

[Klassic]

I was possibly the biggest 50 fan out there but this Massacre joint in worthless, it is remarkably poor in content and originality. Where is RAP music going? I mean 50 let his fan down on that one

[ur mother]

GAYEST LINE ON THE WHOLE ALBUM: "Somebody said I was homophobic. Shit, go to the hood. Plenty of niggas are on my dick."

u fag that means alot of nigga's are tryin to be 50 and copy his shit ..
know ur hip hop b4 u review shit like this

This Album is the shit.Its everything I expected. If your a true music lover,I know for sure that you'll love this album also. Go get it.

One look at that cover and you know the albums going to be awful. He's going the LL route and isn't even on his 10th album.

"One look at that cover and you know the albums going to be awful. He's going the LL route and isn't even on his 10th album."

[PD]

damn im 22 and white and respect all artists, and after readin all the shit on this page you make me wanna be racist. why yall mad at white people? cuz of something that happend a long time ago? now you all are racist towards white people because we were racist towards yall? so something yall were so mad about now your doin the same thing -PD

[so fly]

you guys is wack dont be dissing 50 there is no one better then him and i respect him even more for dissing fatjoe, nas, etc in piggy bank they had it comming. they have no skills like 50 and ja in new york is afarid his song is ganna fail so he takes a line from lloyd banks saying "im on fire" cause he thinks thats ganna help him well it diddnt so all you pussys out there stop dissing 50 and his work

[Lyrikal Genius]

All da niggaz hatin on 50 in these reviews need to shut da fuck up, cuz if he was there wit yall right now u would be on his dick, 50 is doin his thing, and has sold over 11 million records doin it, so regardless what yall think 50 is on a higher level than any rapper alive today, how many rappers do u know can dis every nigga in da industry and get away wit it, "How To Rob" by 50 Cent ft. Madd Rapper, download dat shit and tell me 50 aint' viscious

[dope rymes]

i just hered this album its off the chain every song is da bomb u gots to go download dat shit now propz

[Joderè]

now wait... the comment was made that 50 is better than 2pac... one word need explain my attitude towards that bullshit statement... and that word is "no". Tupac is, and will likely always be, the most influential, best-selling, and arguable best rapper ever to grace a stage. Biggie, sure, he had a good flow, but Pac had the spirit; what else makes a good rapper except true spirit? 50 is good, I'll admit, but Pac will forever reign as eternal rap king.

[slim]

you this guy doesnt knwo what the fuck he is talkin about this album is sick

[brown boi]

wtf u guyz talkin bout bitches hatin on 50z cd he killed his cd min he sell out again bout no body gon buy it cuz u cant relate da shyt boi gimme a break er wun get da cd he killed it min

[Brooklyn baby]

This album is ok. But it ain't hot hot. I think Get Rich Or die tryin album is way better then this one. From 1 to 10 I rate The Massacre album a 4. From 1 to 10 i rate Get Rich Or die tryin a 10.

[djxplicit]

> when ya next mix cd drop???

march 27th. actually, i just made that up. thats the day the pope's goin down tho. supposedly its going to be a PE thing, but ill probably just slack off.

> spelled it wrong

oh...really? you sure?

> From 1 to 10 I rate The Massacre album a 4. From 1 to 10 i rate Get Rich Or die tryin a 10.

i really think it shows how much this album sucks when people who thought that "get rich or die tryin" was any good still hate the new stuff

[SIL]

Its an aiight album! Not the best of his work, but definately worth listening to! Keep doing your thang BLACK MAN!

but u gotta stay on that wu tang shit. shaolin island!!

[rapsuxdonkeyballz]

50 sux. g unit sux. all they rap about is how bad they had it. well now they live in mansions an own 12 cars. how bad is life now?

[mike jones]

they still livin dangerous lives. i bet money dat 50 will most like knowin him get his hand chopped off by a escalade with lamborgini doors

[fiddy4never]

the album, havent heard it. not a big 50 fan. in fact, i only like a hanful of songs from g unit ppl. i think the rest suck. an for ne1 that disagrees, i have 1 thing to say. hotel @ MIT. that sums it all up.

[fiddy4never]

cockroach inn. ha, funny. hotel @ MIT

[JD]

50 cent and all of G Unit are hyped up artists in the genre. They arent that horrible but everyone hears the hype so much that there expectations are so high that they think the album sucked. For instance, alot of people said The Game cd, The Documentary, would be on an equal level as a present day 2pac and B.I.G. and to tell you the truth i thought it sucked. The 50 cent cd wasnt horrible some of the beats were played out as well as the lyrics in some of his all to familiar songs, but some songs were original, again not all of them by far, but some were. Personally, i feel that he is not the best artist on G-unit records, but if any one thinks that the game album was better than the massacre your sadly mistaken. The Game is not gangsta rap he raps about shit he is imagining, hes not a G, hes not anything really, but a wannabe, however 50 is a gangsta rapper, not any were near as good as 2pac, if you think he is then when 50 gets shot and killed which may or may not happen the nation of rap culture fans will not all be shook as they were when pac died. 50 is not horrible as a whole, but some of the songs get played out the first time you hear it. "Candy Shop" was a corny "Magic Stick", "Disco Inferno" a really bad "In Da Club", the songs realeased are not the best songs on the album, i felt "Piggy Bank" was a funny diss, not that good of a diss as his first albums most famous song "How to Rob" (which started his beef wth alot of people), but it was funny and made me laugh. I also thougt "Gatman and Robbin" was intersting not amazing but different. "A Baltimore Love Thing" was, to me, a touching song from personally knowing friends and family members that were addicted to Heroin(not coke by the way it was the truth and not the truth meaning good, but the truth meaning what "truth" means... real. The intro was fucked up, not gangsta, not pimp, nothing. The chorus from 8th song on the album when he says "set it off on the right, set it off on the left..." that was taken from a great club house song from a good while agao i thought that was pretty cool to hear. The review about the album on this website isnt accurat everything possible is cut up and dissed, when some things shouldnt have been.

does Teh Ghey = Teh Game? cause id been calling kanye west "Teh Ghey" recently (i.e. Royce da 5'9'' - Heartbeat [Prod by Teh Ghey])

[Rubber Ducky]

Man how da fuck can u say that 50's new songs aint good, there fucking shit. say what you want
"hate it or love it the under dogs on top" and hes gonna be there for a while and all his new shit hes puttin out is bumpin and dont act like you aint blastin it cuz i know everyone probly is.

[thetruth]

I think it's funny that a lot of you are making fun of people for misspelling words when you guys are also misspelling words. I don't understand why you nerds waste your time to review all these albums just to let people know you don't like them. Find something better to do with your time. As for my opinion on the album, it alright, not as good as 50's debut.

[djxplicit]

> I think it's funny that a lot of you are making fun of people for misspelling words when you guys are also misspelling words.

you kids dont get it, do you? i didnt say that if you misspelled, you suck. i was talking about chronically misspelling on purpose.

Not really. As long as the "50 is my baby" chicks and the "I love Fiddy cause he's gangsta" kids are still buying his shit, he'll still be here.

[rossdaboss]

The album blows. He sells so many records because of the hype. So many people are caught up in the hype. That's the only reason why this album may do so well. Marketing tends to have that kind of effect on people.

[the man]

for this loser who post the one above me 50 sells records cause he can rap no cause of hype and if it was cause of hype why didnt ja rules album r.u.l.e do good there was plenty of hype on that and it diddnt sell cause he cant ryme so for people like you who think you know everything why dont you listen to the music and you will see why his album is ganna sell

[the man]

when i said up on the first line i said "50 sells records cause he can rap no cause of hype" i meant not*

[Gman]

The album sucks. 50 cent should have a better album. Now that he dropped THE GAME, hes even worst. HEs not gangsta anymore. HE got mad that ja made a better record than him. this album tells me how bad he is.

[g unit]

yo u all can suck my di*k fucking haters this cd is sick gunitttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

> Not really. As long as the "50 is my baby" chicks and the "I love Fiddy cause he's gangsta" kids are still buying his shit, he'll still be here.

look at ja rule. those kids can turn on him like that. theyre like kids with their favorite toy. they absolutely love one toy, then christmas rolls around, and a shinier toy comes up, and now they have a new favorite toy.

>"50 sells records cause he can rap no cause of hype" i meant not*

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! This kid is so naive. I'm just going to quote Ras Kass to respond to that:

"Make a radio hit - headz criticize it;
Underground classic - nobody buys it:
So, rap is fucked"

[G-unite]

yo..i read these comments u guys make and i just cant understand why u hate 50 cent..50 says "if eminems hot rite now then im gonna rap wit him"..this shows how determined 50 cent is to get wit the program folks..he can rap in ny style, reggae style and southside style..yall gotta understand that he is a proffessional rapper, not ur average friend tryna rap..AND HES FUKIN RICH

gggggggg, G-UNIT

[G-unite]

50 says 'if i cant,do it, then it cant be done
im gonna make it to the top, and sure
im go make it hott..

G-UNIT to the end BICH

[djxplicit]

>50 says "if eminems hot rite now then im gonna rap wit him"..this shows how determined 50 cent is to get wit the program folks.

LOL. so because he wants to the world's most well-known rapper ever to make an appearence on his record, he makes good music?

>he can rap in ny style, reggae style and southside style

shit. not particularly good in any of those.

> yall gotta understand that he is a proffessional rapper, not ur average friend tryna rap

re-read my ras kass quote, kid.

>AND HES FUKIN RICH

so what? re-read again my ras kass quote.

p.s. - anyone notice how G-unite never said 50's bullshit was actually any good?

[G-unite]

Theres one way to settle this..i will ask 50 to make a song with eminem..against each other and if its in his next album then well see whos da best..

NO MORE RACISM..G-UNIT is the BEST

[djxplicit]

> i will ask 50 to make a song with eminem.against each other and if its in his next album then well see whos da best..

or...we can use common sense (the thing, not the rapper) and realize that 50 sucks independantly of what eminem does.

> NO MORE RACISM..G-UNIT is the BEST

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! no more racism? how does that connect to 50 not being garbage?

[djxplicit]

> 50 says 'if i cant,do it, then it cant be done

nas has fucked with dre son...sounds like you need to step ya game up

Posted by: fallout boy | February 26, 2005 09:54 PM

Does Nas use Dre beats constantly and depend on him to make a hit? I thought so. Nas has some sick shit by 9th Wonder to back himself up on. While 50 spits to Aftermath instrumentals which more or less sound alike. While Dre is still a good producer, to much of a good thing becomes repetitive.

[rossdaboss]

Now this clown(50) is going to have a videogame. I see future beef with mario, luigi, sonic, and every other videogame character. People talk about 50 being tough and shit. This guy took the back exit when shots were fired. That's gotta hurt his persona.

[FairXchange]

True, if anyone really is true to their claims, it's Game who brought his entire posse and attempted to break down the walls of the Hot 97 building. While 50 escaped with his bodygaurds through an exit because he isn't about beef.

[djxplicit]

> Does Nas use Dre beats constantly and depend on him to make a hit?

at some point, he kinda did...didnt he? it was written/the firm era?

>Nas has some sick shit by 9th Wonder to back himself up on.

maybe Im wrong, but I think 9th only remixed nas's shit from god's son and he produced 1 track for jay-z. i think nas's last album was produced mostly by chucky thompson, salaam remi and LES with a couple by buckwild and q-tip.

> While 50 spits to Aftermath instrumentals which more or less sound alike. While Dre is still a good producer, to much of a good thing becomes repetitive.

agreed.

> I see future beef with mario, luigi, sonic, and every other videogame character.

LOL.

>While 50 escaped with his bodygaurds through an exit because he isn't about beef.

to be more clear: 50 isnt about backing up talk of beef with actions.

[MIABallah103]

This album itself is a massacre, and hopefully the downfall of 50 and his shitty music. Later G-Unit...

[M0n£y Fi$t]

Who you calling fiddy and the ghay?
You dyslexic fuk

[M0n£y Fi$t]

this shitty site only gets publicity through little haters any way

G-Unit are running the rap game incase you'r behind on current events

[FairXchange]

Looking through my albums, I see 9th Wonder on alot of them when it comes to production of music. No one can fuck with Remi and Nas when they make a track though. About the firm era Dre beats, that's when his instrumentals were in it's street philosophy stage, no bass bangers. You know?

[Wake Up]

Anyone thats says 50 is the greatest emcee ever doesn't know hip hop.....and is probably under the age of 18. Banks has a better flow than 50 and he's not even that good.

[djxplicit]

> You dyslexic fuk

LOL. fuk. haha.

> Looking through my albums, I see 9th Wonder on alot of them when it comes to production of music.

in terms of jean grae and murs and little brother, but not in terms of nas (except for god's stepson, the remix project)

> About the firm era Dre beats, that's when his instrumentals were in it's street philosophy stage, no bass bangers. You know?

I guess he was more relying on poke & tone for a hit than dre at that point

[G - unit we in it]

Carzy cd with c in it.
It's all about g unit.
You mess with 50 u r messing with g unit.

[A+]

i love you.. teh funneh (the review -- AND the cd)

[FairXchange]

Does the violent image of street life, material wealth of crime, drug trafficking and soliciting of prostitution ever get old in rap? Yes, when it comes to 50 cent it does.

[moo]

im a 50 fan but i dont have the cd yet but i have looked up some of the lyrics and it kinda sounds garbage b. its like hes just rappin to b rappin not tellin any stories or nothin and thats what rap is about think of your favorite song or the best song ever and i bet its tellin a story and 50 didnt do that this album but he still spits fire just not as good as get rich or die tryin. 6/10

[kane sleek]

heeeyyyy.......fiddy iz the illest from tha east...u must be a bastard..fool..idiot,i dont know wut to call u......50 is classic,he's the next best thing since big and pac,how many rappers u see singing chorus..this guy gat the rythm and melody.................G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-UNIT 4 LIFE

[moo]

first off i didnt say he wasnt ill, bitch im sayin this album is nothin like get rich or die trying. none of pacs albums were jus alright none of biggies albums were just alright and thats why they are the greatest dont compare him to niether because he aint. dont get me wrong 50 is raw but its like he's not humble nomore and this album is not as good.

[moo]

no im sorry "fiddy" is not the illest from the east try jay-z patna.

[50 cent playa]

to all you fucking haters 50 will kill you in a battle because he can wright the dopest rymes and put them on a diss track like the dopest song on the massacre "piggy bank" then well see whos dissing who and if he puts banks and buck youd be done fo sho so think about what you say you pussys

[anonymous]

50 cent playa you are hurting your case when you say "piggy bank" was the best track on the whole album. G-unit will not, I repeat not, be able to handle no Jada Kiss and D-block, Nas, and Fat Joe. 50 cent has seriously gone mad.

[djxplicit]

> fiddy iz the illest from tha east...

LOL. he's wouldnt be the illest from his region if he was part of the south. and by the south i mean argentina.

> how many rappers u see singing chorus..

>this guy gat the rythm and melody.................

LOL. and ja rule is just a fake singing thug right? but that boy 50, he sings, which makes him the best ever.

This piece of shit is amost as bad a j-lo's new steamer. And the fact that people actually buy millions of copies scares me stupid. So many morons out there.
And to all the wiggers that like it...well...you are fu*king idiots.. Get some taste, and then get a life you little gansta wannabes. Or even better, go to Compton yourself and hommie it up, see how long your skinny white ass can survive. wut wut?
