After a thorough listen through - I'd say the album's pretty good. Not great - not bad - but pretty good.50 got some substance in the lyrics this time around, exactly what he needed IMO. Beats are grimy and suit the subject matter. I wouldn't complain about the production for what it is. Sure, there's no "In Da Club superhit" on there, but those kinds of tracks are flukes anyway. And it's true that the enjoyability starts withering away after about the midpoint, with just a couple highlights on the second half and an absolute bellyflop of an ending, but on the overall I think 50 did good this time around. No way is this going on my "best of 2009" list or anything like that, but at least I enjoyed listening to this unlike the last 50 album.Oh, and "Psycho" with Eminem isn't all that. It's obviously on there just because 50 wanted an Eminem feature.

They say Eminem, R Kelly & Dr Dre appearance on BISDDre? Maybe on Man's World.

I mean i love Dre and have loved the detox leaks that some people hated on but that psycho song, while its a good song, is overrated. kinda reminds me of American Psycho 2 by D-12. At the time everyone loves that song i always thought it was overrated

That's the same as liking a weak song just because its surrounded by weaker songs.
I was gonna say that this album is a piece of shit, But I really really like Psycho. So it's almost a piece of shit. Still mediocre. 2/10
