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

5.0 out of 5 stars 50 Can't Be Stopped, September 6, 2005
50 has done it again. The Videos are awesome they truly show the greatness of all of his songs. At the end of the PiggyBank video he shows the Game in some rather compromising positions. Got to freeze frame it to see it. There is even a preview of his new Movie and Video Game. You got to pick this up even if you already have the CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars There's no stopping the General, September 6, 2005
By The Gap (Bris Vegas) - See all my reviews
With the upcoming release of his movie 'Get Rich or Die Tryin' and his video game 'Bulletproof', there is no stopping 50 Cent. And with the re-release of his recent CD 'The Massacre', 50 has included a DVD that contains video clips for each of the 20+ songs on the album. These range from clever animation (In My Hood, Piggy Bank) to the more typical clips we expect from rap stars (Candy Shop, Just A Lil Bit). With the addition of a great remix of the repetitous 'Outta Control' track from the original CD, 50 has used Dre's proven production skills and paired up with the latest G-Unit stablemates, Mobb Deep, to put a fuel injection into the re-release. The 'Outta Contol Remix' already has clubs pumping around the world and is steadily climbing the Billboard chart. 'The Massacre' remains the highest selling CD for this year with almost 5 million copies sold in America alone. With the clever idea of a re-release that includes a DVD and film clips to every track, this is one product that is sure to fly off the shelves and put a few more pennies into 50's piggy bank.
