Elephant In The Sand - 50 Cent & DJ Whoo Kid

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 50 Cent’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.

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 50 CENT is "fiddys" 2nd official album folowing up from "Get Rich Or Die Trying". This album is recommended for any hip hop fan, 50 Cents 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 50 Cent 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 50 Cent. TRACKLIST: 1- INTRO 2- IN MY HOOD 3-THIS IS 50... Read review

Advantages: good listening
Disadvantages: younger viewers unadviced

...i owned this mix tape and it was very impressive due to 50 cent only having the 1 album out at the time but in production of making his movie get rich' or die trying', it was a a little preview of the official soundtrack that was made for the movie and it was really good and had a very hip-hop gangster rap feel and really expressed 50 cents way of rapping that put his name higher on the map and made him what he is today. being as good as number 1 rapper of the industries today. i would advice you to buy it even though it is a little out of date but will still have tunes on it you maybe would not have heard before. it features the whole of g-unit crew meaning, Lloyd banks, young buck and tony Yayo and many more. it has hardcore beats and very explicit lyrics so would not advice to younger listeners...
