Advantages: Production is ill throughout; some GREAT songs Disadvantages: Same repetitive cliches; weak lyrics
Earlier this year, The Game's debut album The Documentary dropped and instantly became the first G-Unit album that was actually praised by the far-too-often critical underground community. The album was hot due to Game's impressive flow and a tremendous surplus of great beats. A lot of people were viewing this as a turn around for the G-Unit, who had already been established as a group with a consistent record of horrid music which brought nothing ...

Advantages: A few good tracks Disadvantages: The fact more people will pay money for this rubbish
Most of us music consumers must love filling the deep pockets of 50 Cent. S*it, most of us combined to buy 10 million copies of his terribly mediocre debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin' and we also combined to buy, at least, a million copies of his G-Unit cohorts' respective albums. Some of us also must love listening to his tired, generic thug bravado and wannabe-intimidating lyrics repeatedly. After all, there has to be a reason why someone with ...

50 CENT is back Review ofMassacre, The (+DVD) [PA] - 50 Centby
interscope123
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 Decent outing Review ofMassacre, The (+DVD) [PA] - 50 Centby
Da1nOnly
Advantages: Some fairly good traxs Disadvantages: Nothing new here
"The Massacre" is 50 Cents second album, available to his fans from the 3rd of March. The album has its fair share of controversy and hype. The infamous "Piggy Bank" track sees 50 Cent having a dig at his rival rappers e.g. Jadakiss, Fat Joe and Nas. It seems my prediction was true, 50 cent had set himself a high standard from his previous album, it would have been difficult to match such expectations again. "The massacre" is however what you would ...

Advantages: Bound to be one of the TOP selling albums of recent years, Top lyrics Disadvantages: If you don't like rap then don't buy it!
As soon as you hear the words "50 Cent" you automatically think either the man who made rap history with the fastest selling album ever or Eminem's little lapdog - either way you are thinking how on earth is he going to top his last album?
Fastest selling album in history - Groundbreaking lyrics and so much more added to the success of his original CD.
Now the second coming of 50 Cent with his new album "The Massacre". Having got a hold of ...

Advantages: Dre and Eminems Productions on the Track Disadvantages: Now he has money it seems 50 has gone into advertising in his songs
Dont get me all wrong i like 50Cent, but on this second album under the shady aftermath label 50 has turned to Hiphop rather than staying to the rap side of things, 50 still chats of Beefs which is how he got to be where he is today, the only rapper i know to have the most Beefs but really come on 50 we all hated what happened to tupac and biggie why you trying to reanact it all with Ja Rule and more let it rest. In 50s new tunes i feel his lyrics ...

Advantages: good listen Disadvantages: not as good as first album
i really like 50 cents recent album i think it dives into his soul and takes you to the childhood he and his expeirience of growing up without a mother or father. i think in most of his songs you can hear his passion and gratefulness for everything he has come to be, i however do not think this album is as good as his first 'get rich or die tryin'. My favourite song on that album is '21 questions' the words in that song really made me think about ...

More Great Songs Review ofMassacre, The (+DVD) [PA] - 50 Centby
x.a.x
Advantages: Many songs on this album have been realeased therefore will be recognised and enjoyable Disadvantages: Stero-typical gangsta music him chatting about how gangsta he is sometimes gets a bit too much
I got this album almost straight away from when it was realeased. The hit song "Candy Shop" had just been released which i think increased sales as it was extremly popular. Buying this album you get what you ask for upbeat, jumpy good songs that are enjoyable he does duets with other members of G-Unit such as Olivia in "Candy Shop" and "So Amazing" (a un-relesed track) and there's "hate it or love it" another popular track featuring the now extreamly ...

Not bad. Review ofMassacre, The (+DVD) [PA] - 50 Centby
cincea22
Advantages: 15 out of 22 Disadvantages: Not all the songs are good.
This album is good but it is not as good as "get rich or die tryin'. This album was released in March 2005. A couple of the singles that most people know are, "Candy Shop", which features Olivia. Candy shop was a good song. Another single was "Just a lil bit", "Outta control", and "Disco inferno". This album has 22 songs on it and out of the 22 songs there are only about 14 or 15 that is really good. This album was the tenth best album of the year ...

The Real Fiddy Review ofMassacre, The (+DVD) [PA] - 50 Centby
LeroyTadams
Advantages: Second album from the biggest up and coming rapper at the moment. Disadvantages: Not to everyone's tastes, very detailed descriptions of what is a horrifying past.
As the second album of 50 cent, this is a real personal hit, for all the fans that want to know the real him! Get rich or die tryin' was a hit and miss attempt at rap stardom, and for 50, it worked, but it was about his riches and status, whereas the massacre shows a more personal side to 50 cent, the side that everyone know's is there, and just wants to see. I'm supposed to die tonight is a very graphic song in itself, telling the story of the death ...

Advantages: None Disadvantages: most songs are painful
This is a remixed version of my origional review... alot has changed.
I would personally recommend that nobody buy this album or any other album of this type- the lyrics are typical of mainstream rap and promote violence , sex , drink, drugs -
Kids are listening to this - these guys are role models and they are partly responsible for the uprise in gang culture, some might argue with me and say dont be so daft but ppl are INFLUENCED by the things ...

now you the get rich die tryin was good . . . . Now hes back , better than you have ver seen him before with his new album The massacre. there are many other artists in this such as eminem, dr.dre lyod banks , tony yayo and many more. he started of as a poo street seeker and was begging the story of survival but he would never give up

The tracks on this album are absoulutly great for people who like hip hop and rap this is definetly an album for you it has really good lyrics and beats its got his hit singles on it and i think there is only a few songs witch are crap but trust me if i was a true hip hop fan i would definetly recommend this album to you.
Infact to every one this is not just an album this is like a story of his life as a gangser and based on his lifestyle.
