Album Notes: An essential purchase for the hardcore 50 Cent fan, this deluxe box set contains interviews with the rap icon as well as a variety of informed journalistic commentary, on subjects such as his ghetto upbringing, his involvement in drug dealing, the shooting attack that nearly killed him, and his runaway musical success.
Advantages: Great satisfaction for any hip hop fan Disadvantages: Not quite as good as his first album "Get Rich Or Die Trying"
...THE MASSACRE by 50CENT is "fiddys" 2nd official album folowing up from "Get Rich Or Die Trying". This album is recommended for any hip hop fan, 50Cents commercial beats prove to be very catchy and after a couple of listens you find yourself nodding your head to tunes that originally didnt stand out. It includes hit singles "Candy Shop" featuring Olivia, "Disco Inferno", "Outta Control" and a G-unit remix of "Hate It Or Love It" it also includes a tune called "Piggy Bank" which is 50Cent taking shots at Fat Joe, Jadakiss and Nas which is very funny to any hip hop fan who apreciates a good rap battle. The album also includes the following artists: Eminem, Olivia, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, Tony Yayo, The Game and Jamie Foxx. The executive producers are Dr.Dre, Eminem and 50Cent.
TRACKLIST:
1- INTRO
2- IN MY HOOD

Advantages: Fabulously entertaining Disadvantages: Pretty darn repetitive in terms of self-expression
...Those who have glanced at my other reviews might have noticed that I almost always put in a reference to rap music. The reason for this escapes me at this precise moment, save for being mainly psychological. I think it’s because my greatest pleasure is when I am able to review an actual rap CD. This is not just because it provides a perfect opportunity for me to air my own personal opinions on social issues, but also because I am a genuine fan of underground rap. So, here I will endeavour to explain why 50Cent’s latest venture is a rowdy, yet satisfyingly bumpy work.
Not many would contend the fact that we are living in a day and age when music is heavily reliant on the artist projecting a persona. When you take a rapper from Queens, New York – whose very art form is based upon this notion – one encounters a mastery of this talent...

Well its safe to say that no rapper since 2pac himself has had such exposure and attention that 50cent has been getting in the past years since he outed his first debut LP "Get Rich Or Die Trying" as the album is aptly titled...
