The drums bang through the speaker but 50 was average. His vocals were on point but he isn't saying much. Plus, the beat was missing that it factor. It's missing something hypnotic, something catchy.And, I'm a 50 fan as in I enjoyed Curtis.

I know a lot of people didn't think much of "The Massacre," but I thought about half the songs on it were really tight. I'm still holding out hope that 50 delivers a solid album with this one. I think it's way too early to tell, of course, with just the one song. But I'm sure I'll check it out when it drops.
After each listen I like it more and more. Really under-appreciated track at this stage. The vibe to me is reminiscent of "Patiently Waiting".I swear, just about every response on this forum to new songs from established artists (Eminem, Dre, 50, Quik + Kurupt, etc.) is wack/average/ok except for one background instrument.........it makes me laugh that some of you expect nothing short of these artists recreating their best albums. All these guys made their best material when they were hungry, getting the hustle on, or had something to prove. They do it for themselves.Keep looking at songs with a microscope and calling it wack if it's not perfect. Honestly, everytime I see a bad review of a song it makes me think it's probably better than believed to be, because I know the criticizers have one standard: perfection. Keep dreamin for perfection

Personally, I thought the song was average. I thought the beat was nice, but the lyrics seemed just kind of average. There was nothing really bad about the song, imo. But there just wasn't really much that stood out about it either. I probably still prefer it to anything I heard on "Curtis." As for the album, this is just the first song, so I'll try to reserve judgement until I hear more. The production on this was nice, and if that's an indicator of what the rest of the album's production sounds like, then there might still be hope for this.
This is the hustler's ambition. close your eye and listen
Respect come from admiration or fear. You can admire me or you can catch one in your wig.
