1.0 out of 5 stars Damn 50....Why, September 11, 2007

It was extremely hard form me to write this review here for 50's album. I used to be a huge fan of Shady/Aftermath and the music they put out, so when 50 Cent emerged on the scene in 2003 (the Shady/Aftermath 50, not the underground 50) I bought into all the hype. I thought "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" was an amazing debut(mainstream) album . Lyrically he wasnt even close to the 3 King's (Talib, Jayz,Nas) but he at least had songs that tried to talk about something.. After the success of his first album "Mainstream 50 Cent" took over...everything. From making Childrens books and Video Games, to Movies and Clothing Lines.. I have no problem with a man making money, but it seems the more money he has made, the progressively worse his music has become. This latest album has really turned me off to the Shady/Aftermath /Interscope . No longer will I buy albums from their aritst prior listening to it. Now to the Album..

The production on this album far exceeds "The Massacre" the beats are pretty decent, with AYO Technology being the most complex and easy to vibe to. Unfortunately thats about the only positive thing I can say about this album. The Lyrics are simple horrendous, what can only be described as nursery rhymes.. with this album released I'm seriously waiting on 50 cent to make a song about "The Itsey Bitsey Spider" or something along that nature. I'm sure this album will be commercially successful, 50 Cent is a media Juggernaut(Sold over 2 Million copies of the Massacre in INDIA alone) and it would only be by a miracle that Kanye West would even come close to outselling him. His primary audience suburban "White America" will by this album in the boatloads..My question is why? What happened to socially conscious rap/hip hop being mainstream. The closest thing we have to that today is Kanye,Talib, Common really.. And people don't support that hardly either. I keep hearing people say "Hip Hop is dead man" Well if thats true it's the people that support this type of music and image that have killed it. If it dies eventually, like a lot of people think it will, then you all pulled a Caesar(Julius Caesar). I SAY ASK MORE FROM THIS RAPPER HE CAN DO FAR BETTER THEN THIS!

1.0 out of 5 stars Curtis I Want a Refund!!!, September 9, 2007

Same old 50 cents. We've heard it all before. You're a gangsta, you got shot, you're rich. This guy needs to venture out and experience new things so that he doesn't keep rapping about the same topics over and over again. Curtis fooled me into buying this cd. The only track I like on the album is I Get Money. There's nothing new here, and lyrically he's only getting worse. I think he's so rapped up into making commerical music that he's lost sight of the potential he had when he first burst onto the scene. I should have known better than to purchase this after all of the terrible singles he released like Amusement Park. And on top of that he has too many guest appearances, that's usually a sign of a terrible album. Do yourself a favor and save your money!!! Don't worry Curtis you're not getting any more of my money. Not even for your so called greatest hits album. How can you put out a greatest hits album when you made 1 good album (Get Rich or Die Tryin) in your career.

I don't know why 50 thought he could challenge Kanye and win. This CD lacks originality and substance. Same old recycled beats...same old recycled rhymes...same old rah rah shoot em up fake gangsta bull****. My thirteen year old nephew can make a better demo than this. I think the main problem is the collaborations...Timberlake, Timbaland, Robin Thicke???? Last time I checked two of those three couldn't even sing. But anyway, Akon's presence on I'll Still Kill was the only decent part of this mess. So, is this retirement thing still a go? I sure hope he was serious, because I don't know how many more of his boring tracks we can stand to hear.
