50 Cent Album - The Massacre (Clean)

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

- Wanna listen to music worth under 50 cents?

To be quite honest, if I could rate the album at 0 that would be my #1 option.
No offense 50 Cent, but u need to find a new job - advising people on what cars they should buy, or advising celebrities in movies on how to throw money in the air or working at a candy shop. There, you can let girls lick ur lollipop without having it told to 50 million MTV viewers.

The hype of excitement and anticipation put on the album was the only thing that got it this far. The quite lame lyrics and derogatory and sick statements such as 'I'll let u lick the lollipop' on 'Massacre' are hopefully going to make people realize that not much has changed about 50 Cent since his debut 'Get Rich or Die Tryin'' album, which will hopefully also lead them to realize that 50 Cent is a WASTE OF MONEY!

So basically what I'm trying to tell those reader's is that you should save you're money (and ears).

- Another Great One

The Massacre is a must for any 50 cent fan. Although it isn't like Get Rich Or Die Tryin' 50 gives a new approach to hip hop and fresh new rhymes to the table. More sick rappin' in this album and it is another GREAT ONE.
Favorites

- The Hype killed this album

hey yo 50 cent couldn't live up to the hype the only reason this album is selling is cause it was so anticpated and they wanted to see if 50 could killem like he did in get rich or die trying the only good part about the cd is the beats cause the lyrics are soo weak and 50 better watch what he says about kiss cause kiss will lyriclly destroy him and he already shot down the piggy bank song with a track called checkmate if you haven't heard it listen to it cause it totally destroys 50
