50_Cent-The_Massacre-2005-RNS

I think he seriously messed up by dropping ''Candy Shop''. Its a typical commercial rap duet, that doesn't have the lasting power of an ''In Da Club''. On top of that, the Scott Storch single is getting a little bit overdone right now. I would've imagined that 50 would have picked up on that. He should've released ''Outta Control'' first, in my opinion. Not that it really matters though - 50 can go multi-platinum on mere name-power alone.

Its a decent album. I must admit, however, that I don't think this shows his full potential as a rapper as there are a fair number of throwaway tracks. Because of that its really nothing to get over-excited about and (at the moment at least) I'm going to have to say that ''GRODT'' > ''The Massacre''.

Also, as a huge Eminem fan, I must say that he continued to disappoint (what with the severe let-down that was ''Encore'') in his feature on this album. I think his flow to the instrumental is great (just as it was on The Game's ''We Ain't'') but lyrically I don't know where its all going wrong. Well, I know at least ONE thing wrong - for the love of God, Em: STOP DWELLING ON THE DAMN BENZINO/INC. BEEF!
