Meho:
1. Intro(Produced By Eminem) - dont rate intros
2. In My Hood (Produced By C. Styles & Bang Out) - dope kinda dre influenced production.50 has a different(better) voice,great flow,lyrics are dope,same with the chours. 4/5
3. This Is 50 (Produced By Sha Money XL) - again dope beat,again kinda dre influenced.50 soudns great on it.4/5
4. I'm Supposed To Die Tonight (Produced By Eminem) - your typical eminem dark production,i have nothing againts it altough(like the songs he produced for pac) it gets too repetitive.lyrics are above average,deep,flow great and the chours is PERFECT imo.dont know whats about it,but sing it all the time.the whole of the song vibe makes it one of my fav cuts on the album. 4.5/5
5. Piggy Bank (Produced By Needlez) - everybody knew this track before it was even released.it way waaay overhyped but i looked at it from a different aspect.a lot of people expected hit em up stuff.but like 50 said these are only warning shots.production from looks like gunit in house producer Needlez is great,really grimy,pumping.flow from 50 is great and he actually raps with some emotions.chours is wierd but it is kinda catchy.lyrics are nothing to be really schocked about.he "dissed" nas preety good.once again the beat is what makes this song so powerfull imo. 4/5
6. Gatman And Robin (Feat. Eminem) Produced By Eminem - Wierd song. Definetly not better then the GRODT Em cut. 3/5
7. Candy Shop (Feat. Olivia) Produced By Scott Storch - 1st single which of course has to be a club banger.lean back part 2.i like it,it does have a banging beat and makes all the women crazy.and you have to look it that way.a club banger for the ladies. 3/5
8. Outta Control(Produced by Dr.Dre & Mike Elizondo) - higher part 2.i guess we can see what direction dre will pick for detox.i think those 2 beats(higher and this) are detox session part1 leftovers.of course a dre leftover(my guess) is still way better then anything else.50 created another classic club banger 4.75/5
9. Get In My Car (Produced By Hi Tek) - holy shit.this is funky.50 always flows great over hi teks beats and this aint no exception.funny and catchy chours,lyrics are funny,dope.great track overall 4/5
10. Ski Mask Way(Produced by Disco D) - beat is nothing special,boring but surprisigly 50 saves the songs with great flow and lyrics and dope chours. 4/5
11. A Baltimore Love Thing (Produced By Cue Beats) - really creatvie on 50s part, production is kinda weak though 4/5
12. Ryder Music (Produced By Hi Tek) - smoooooooooth as fuck.westcoast influenced beat.when i hear 50 on this type of tracks he sounds like a westcoast rapper imo.chours is great,laid back like the whole song 4/5
13. Disco Inferno (Produced By C. Styles & Bang Out) - on fire part 2.again dre influenced.lyrics are alright for a club joint,the beat is banging altouhg heard before 35/5
14. Just A Lil Bit(Produced By Scott Storch) - another banger from storch.gets kinda repetitive.3/5
15. Gunz Come Out(Produced By Dr. Dre & Mike Elizondo) - mosh part 2.beat wise better then mosh.50 sounds great,lyrics are dope,again he raps with emotions.flow is dope again same with the chours. 4.5/5
16. My toy soldier feat. Tony Yayo(Produced By Eminem) - i was surprised eminem produced this.great beat from him.50's lyrics are above average,chours dope and even Yayo comes correct 4/5
17. Position Of Power (Produced By J.R.) - great beat from J.R.another deep song from 50,lyricaly he comes correct,flow is great. 4/5
18. Build you up(Produced By Scott Storch) - track for the ladies.banging beat.lyrics are because of the love topic of course nothing breath taking.average track.jamie foxx has a nice voice 3/5
19. God gave me style(Produced By Needlz) - deep,emotional track.great beat again from needlz. 4/5
20. So Amazing (Feat. Olivia) Produced By J.R. - track for the ladies, Cool I guess 3/5
21. I need 'em(Produced By BuckWild) - great track, 50 on some gangsta shit 4/5
22. Hate it or love it remix feat. The Game, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck & Tony Yayo Produced by Cool & Dre - remix from the documentary.50's rap is great,same with game and young buck.but its banks and of course yayo who ruin the song. 3/5
Overall this is asolid follow up to his debut. I think the whole vibe of the cd is better then on GRODT. I recomend everyone to give it some time.it will grow on you

no one said it was classic.its pretty good for a 50 cent album
and like i said there are only 4 love songs out of 14,so you need to open your eyes
Jome:
1. Intro(Produced By Eminem) - dont rate intros
2. In My Hood (Produced By C. Styles & Bang Out) - Coo beat, aight shoot-em-up lyrics, but 50 sounds like he got a cold.
Not on "What up gangsta" level. 3.5 of 5
3. This Is 50 (Produced By Sha Money XL) - Knocking dark beat from Sha Money, and 50 rips it at times. 4.25 of 5
4. I'm Supposed To Die Tonight (Produced By Eminem) - - Dope dark beat from Em, the chorus is crazy as well. 4.5 of 5
5. Piggy Bank (Produced By Needlez) - - One of Needlez best beats, pretty dope overall, addictive chorus. 4.25 of 5
6. Gatman And Robin (Feat. Eminem) Produced By Eminem - - No "Patiently Waiting", it's different but not really feeling it. 3.5 of 5
7. Candy Shop (Feat. Olivia) Produced By Scott Storch - - Beat was dope at first, but gets tiring, 50 sounds uninspired. 3.5 of 5
8. Outta Control(Produced by Dr.Dre & Mike Elizondo) - Club banger, Dre done did it again, chorus is crazy, but lyrics are made for radio. 4.75 of 5
9. Get In My Car (Produced By Hi Tek) - - Simple "in stock beat" from Hi-Tek, not really feeling it, 50 does aight. 3 of 5
10. Ski Mask Way(Produced by Disco D) - Beat is coo enough, 50 is impressive at times. 4 of 5
11. A Baltimore Love Thing (Produced By Cue Beats) - Sounds like (leftover) mixtape shit to me, but not all that bad. 3.5 of 5
12. Ryder Music (Produced By Hi Tek) - - Beat is kinda chill, but not great, laidback track. 3.5 of 5
13. Disco Inferno (Produced By C. Styles & Bang Out) - On Fire pt.2, nothing to write home about. 3 of 5
14. Just A Lil Bit(Produced By Scott Storch) - Nice flutes, beat should have been harder imo, 50's chorus is boring. 3.25 of 5
15. Gunz Come Out(Produced By Dr. Dre & Mike Elizondo) - Nuts, bump this in your car on full blast !! Bass is crazy, and the keys completes it..
Chorus is classic, lyrics is some of that gangsta-shit. The 2nd time on the album Storch gets sonned by a Dre-beat back to back. 4.75 of 5
16. My toy soldier feat. Tony Yayo(Produced By Eminem) - Dope Em-beat, changes it up with some crazy synths
Dope verses, Yayo tops it off. 4.5 of 5
17. Position Of Power (Produced By J.R.) - Coo enough, not among the best tracks. 3.5 of 5
18. Build you up(Produced By Scott Storch) - Leftover from the last Ja Rule album, beat is only cool in the chorus. 2 of 5
19. God gave me style(Produced By Needlz) - Might be cool lyrics, but I don't know, I'm skipping the soft sing-a-song tracks. 2 of 5
20. So Amazing (Feat. Olivia) Produced By J.R. - - Another leftover from the last Ja Rule album. 1 of 5
21. I need 'em(Produced By BuckWild) - - Beat is straight jacked, not as dope as "Metal Lungies".
The borrowed beat makes it sound like a mixtape track, not neccessarily a bad thing. 3.75 of 5
22. Hate it or love it remix feat. The Game, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck & Tony Yayo Produced by Cool & Dre
Remix is coo, Banks kills it, but G-Unit sounds gay on Game's part of the chorus. 50 at his best on this track. 4.5 of 5
Overall: 6.5 or 7 of 10
50 is a hook-writing genius, with a gift for writing hits, but is unconsistant as a rapper.
The tracks made for the bitches makes the album fall several levels, but some Snoop Dogg fans might like the soft tracks as well.
