GRODT is not a classic.  There's several skippable tracks on there.  Had several great joints on it, but it's not a classic.

And seriously, how anybody can say 50 improved since GRODT I have no idea.  But it's completely wrong, lol.

Was watching that Massacre dvd at my homies last night while on the piss, that shit's dope how he got a video for every track on it, I wanna see more artists do that

GRODT is not a classic.

[SCREWFACE]

For another artist that has stepped outside of his sound and I fully enjoy is Jay-Z's Ghetto Techno.  Jay's version of techno is dope.  His next album should be more variation like that. 

hahahahah do u even know what techno is? obviously not and neither does jay-z. wow i dunno how i missed this song cause i like to think i was a fan of jay, i think its awful. anyway im not hating on the song but im just saying that is NOT techno. at all. 0%

In a recent interview with Funkmaster Flex on New York Hot 97, 50 Cent talked about his latest album, Before I Self Destruct, and who is to blame for the low projection sales.

"With the actual outcome of the project, once the record leaks from the international plant, what more can I do," said Fifty.

As reported earlier, Before I Self Destruct is projected to only sell between 150,000 and 160,000 units by next week, the lowest of any of his previous debuts. Even with the exclusive early release of the album via iTunes, which was initiated to decrease the number of internet leaks, the album only sold 46,000 downloads during the one week window, according to hitsdailydouble.com.

"I held the record long enough to get it to them, to mix and master it and for them to ship it and then it leaks from the plant internationally, I'm like come on, then that's it. They lost the ball. You know what I mean, if the numbers look funny to me, it's they fault," he continued.

Before I Self Destruct is Fifty's fourth and final studio album under Interscope, and features DJ Premier, Dr. Dre and Timbaland, annd appearances by Eminem, Lloyd Banks, Ne-Yo and R. Kelly.

Even if it hadn't leaked, I doubt he would have sold that much better. While I can appreciate that he's going off of the pop tip a little, I'm 50'd out at this point. There's a lot better rappers out there who deserve my attention, who aren't millionaires.

GRODT = Good album, not classic.
Massacre = Good album, not classic.
GRODT Soundtrack = Good album, not classic.
Curtis = Totally wack and useless on all accounts.
BISD = Better than Curtis, but still a borefest.

50 is done. I agree with whoever said he oversaturated the market back in 2003-2005. He went for it 100% and got incredibly rich. Now everybody, except a few white teenage girls, are sick of him.
