Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
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

1.0 out of 5 stars WORST CD EVER MADE!!!!(50 CENT IS THE WORST RAPPER ALIVE), March 3, 2005
G-unit is, hands down one of the worst rap groups ever.(If i could i would give it zero stars) All of them are terrible and have extremely weak flows........out of all of its members however 50 cent(the fonder of the group)is the worst rapper of them all.
like many here I got the massacre cd bootleg.....one of the worst mistakes I ever made....this cd isn't good for anything.....not even worth using it as a frisbee...

Bad sides of the album-
1)Stupid singing chorus in every song!!!!! Thats the same thing him and eminem dissed Ja-rule about!!! This 50 cent cat is so dumb....

2)He raps about the same thing in every song!!!! "Im gon shot u this, u gon starve, that" is that all u got 50? I guess its like jadakiss said on the radio, on his first cd all he could rap about was that he got shot 9 times, now he has nothing to rap about because he hasn't been shot anymore(must be because of the bodyguards..)

3)He's a dumbass that likes to diss people that are better then him. He has a song called piggybank dissing, Fat Joe, Nas, Jadakiss. Is this guy retarted? It looks like he wants his career ended.....these guys are some of the best MC's alive..and you know there going to come back to make him look even stupider....if thats possible.

4)I said him on 106 and park on BET and the host were asked him some questions about the album, and wat some of the songs ment..and he didn't know what they ment either! He studered and waited for his slow ass mind to think of something. He did this for his song "My toy soilder" he didn't know what it was about! he just copyed eminems title and hoped that it would sell.

5)Its just plain bad! "Please dont waste your money!"

Good sides of the album-
1) He probley won't make another one in a while.
2) He dosn't say he got shot nine times again.


I recommend you buy as must of these cds as u can! And burn them! Warn your friends! tell them not to buy the cd unless they wanna dispose of it.....it sounds stupid....but once you listen to this crap you'll agree!

If you want a good rap cd go out and buy the new Nas cd Streets disciple or even the former G-unit member "the game"s cd.(yet another member in G-unit that he dropped because he was better than him)

and im tired of people saying 50 cent is the best rapper or even a good rapper, don't be fooled just because he says he got SHOT 9 TIMES this dosnt make him a gangstar it just means people don't like his dumbass. "And whoever says 50 cent is better then nas or anyother rapper, needs to get SHOOT 9 TIMES themselves!

1.0 out of 5 stars like hearin' the same records over and over again, March 18, 2005
By Blue187 "CC" (Long Beach , CA) - See all my reviews
The lirics are worthless , the diss on nas and shyne ain't S**t and the beats are simular to his previos album Get rich and die trin' which a lot betta. Shyne ripped his ass with "for the record" and the best he came with was piggy bank. 50 yo ain't nothin' but fake G.
EM , shoot him in the doom coas this b***h embarasment.
peace and keep it real

1.0 out of 5 stars Keep your Recipt, March 19, 2005
It's funny how a person who is only within his second album is already enemies with R.Kelly, Fat Joe, Nas, Ja Rule, and Jadakiss. Now If you thought Eminem made enemies quickly, think again, because 50 Cent is about to take over in that stage. When he claims that the reason why he has "beef" with these rappers is simply because of their colaboration with Ja Rule, it's rather imature of a person who is suppose to be a role model to the fans that listen to him. What kind of message is, "It's okay to hate a person simply because they have some association with someone you are truly enemies with?" I have never been a fan of 50 Cent, and "In Da Club" was the most overexagerated track to have ever been released. I could barely make out what he was saying, and to be honest, could have cared less for what he was saying either. The title of this album is just as arrogant as he is becoming...The Massacre...he's going to destroy all "competition." Well 50, sit down because you're not the greatest figure in the rap industry, you're still new to this, and have a lot of growing up and realization to do. The funniest part about this album is how he is trying to maintain this street cred. and be all hardcore, and his first single is "Candy Shop," probably the most sell out song to ever come out. It's typical. How many times have we heard the Arabian inspired beat? Truth Hurts has done it, even Jadakiss with "U Make Me Wanna." So now who's biting off of who? And, When your own "crew mate" can't even stay with you for longer then 3 months after their album release, there must be something really wrong with you personally. "Disco Inferno" yeah, that's street now isn't it? He tries to hold this image, but his music does not obtain to it. He does not deserve all this recognition, and I can not wait for the day when people realize he is not all he is made out to be.
