CURTIS (Shady/Aftermath/Interscope), features guest appearances by Eminem, Timbaland, Akon, Justin Timberlake, Mary J. Blige, Robin Thicke, and Nicole Scherzinger from the Pussycat Dolls.
50 has 2 HOT tracks leading up to the release of Curtis! Both have taken the radio airwaves by storm: "AYO TECHNOLOGY" featuring JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE and TIMBALAND - produced by TIMBALAND, and "I GET MONEY!" Curtis continues 50 Cent's phenomenal rise from the mean streets. His official debut album, 2003's Get Rich Or Die Tryin.., sold 872,000 units in the first four days of its release, making it the fastest-selling debut disc in the SoundScan era (since 1991). The album was the biggest seller of 2003 and is currently ten times platinum worldwide. Later that year, The New Breed, a DVD with a bonus CD including new songs, charted #2 Pop and #1 R&B/Hip-Hop. His second album, 2005's The Massacre, was the second biggest-selling album of the year and is now seven times platinum worldwide. Since he first dropped his bombs on the music world, 50 has earned 11 Grammy nominations, from Best New Artist to Best Rap Album for each of his first two efforts. Attesting to his worldwide popularity, Get Rich Or Die Tryin' hit #2 in the U.K. and #1 in Australia while The Massacre went #1 in both those countries, #2 in Sweden, and is the biggest-selling rap album in India, where it has been certified double platinum, selling more than 2,000,000 copies. Back in the U.S., 50 has scored three singles claiming the #1 spot across the charts -- R&B/Hip-hop, Rap, and Pop: "In Da Club," "Candy Shop," and "21 Questions" (featuring Nate Dogg). Three more went Top 3 across the board: "P.I.M.P," "Just A Lil Bit," and "Disco Inferno." Yet another four were Rap Top 10s: "Wanksta," "Outta Control (Remix)," "Window Shopper," and "Best Friend." Four of the above have been certified digital gold: "In Da Club," "Candy Shop," "P.I.M.P," and "Disco Inferno." From music to movies, video games to books, a clothing line to footwear, 50 has taken street culture by storm. But as Curtis proves, and as he says in ..Straight to the Bank,.. 50 Cent wants even more.

G-Unit's Leader,
This review is from: Curtis [edited] (Audio CD)
Curtis Jackson aka 50 Cent has taken his solo act to another level. C'mon, people! Whether you like 50 or not, this album is very interesting to me. 50 Cent's still "getting rich and die trying."

This review is from: Curtis [edited] (Audio CD)
But the song with Mary; All Of Me, that sample, well, it's hot. REAL hot.
He has to use other people's beats (I Get Money) to get rich and talking mindlessly (Tracks 2-4,Tracks 6-10, Tracks 12-14 and 16-17). I find that so damn pathetic! Follow My Lead is a crappy song. Very crappy. 50 Cent writes his music (or at least some of it) and that's good. But he doesn't really talk about much other than being rich, and awesome, going to parties and being better than others. And hot women. Yay! We haven't heard that before!! Amusement Park is fun though. Nice beat. Someone laced it, and it's wonderful. Probably the best song here. But Fire is wack, and Nicole is even wacker. The only song that she did worth noting is Come to Me. And that was DIDDY'S song. LOL @ her. Kanye obviously won with the album sales, so why doesn't his tired a$$ retire?????! Download Amusement Park and All Of Me and let's call it a day! 1.5 stars for an occasional hot beat - .3 for edited lyrics. 1.2 stars. YES. It's THAT bad.
