I very much got caught up with the hype. I like 50 cent, but i haveto admit this is one of the most over-rated albums i've ever owned.
Believe me, it has its moments, but as far as i'm concerned 'P.I.M.P.' is not a strong point, so when it was released as the 3rd single i was real surprised. 'In da Club', '21 Questions' and in my opinion 'High all the time' are the best tracks, i'm guessing not too many people agree with 'High all the Time' but from the first listen that was my favourite track.
Bonus tracks are also good. 'U not like me' seems pre-commercialised 50. So why was i dissapointed with this album? 50 really is a good rapper, he's different, he has an individual voice. maybe the production then...Dre is on top form with 'In da Club' but his other 3 tracks on the album are not really all that good. Eminem too, neither of his tracks on the cd are up to the standard of like obies 'got some teeth' or royce da 5'9"s 'Rock City'. Also the Rockwilder produced track 'Like my Style' didnt hit my spot.
Overall...i was dissapointed. Not even snoop on the 'P.I.M.P' remix could make it better. However the 3 rating is deserved because the stand out tracks are extremely stand out..in da club is the best dre has done in ages...enjoy the album. at the end of the day, i wouldnt argue that it wasnt worth a listen.
