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

This review is from: The Massacre (Clean) (Audio CD)

I am a die hard real hip hop fan and this CD is GARBAGE. It does not deserve the one star I gave him. Don't buy his album. If you really want it, BURN IT. The cd is about him being angry at everyone. Would we even know who 50cent is if he didn't have beef with every one in the Rap game. And how dare he attack NAS. 50cent can't even pronounciate his words let alone compose them lyricaly like NAS. The album has some good beats but thats it. The lyrical content is weak. Please don't support this album. And to make matters worst 50cent said in an interview that he does not even spend time with his son because he is so busy. He said that he just gives him money and thats the extent of his fatherly duties. So not only does he suck as an artist, he sucks as a black man and a human. F**k 50. Put down the mic and go take care of your kids!! GO GET THE GAME!!! WAY BETTER CD
