Editorial Review:
50 Cent is now a full two dollars, according to pop culture exchange rates. His sheer influence on music charts, and thugs hearts, changed things. So why then on Massacre is the 'hood drama that one would think he'd want to leave behind even more front-and-center than on Get Rich or Die Tryin'? It's hard to say, but 50's developed a questionable gun fetish here. With firearms plastered all over the liner notes, and throughout most of his lyrics--on "In My Hood" he retorts "…I don't go nowhere without my strap"--apparently his nouveau rich status has only accelerated the number of enemies he's accumulated. On "I'm Supposed to Die Tonight" he even awkwardly forecasts Notorious B.I.G.-like, Tupac-ian rap game death scenarios. "Piggy Bank," a virtual diss fest further cements his "How to Rob" persona as Nas and Fat Joe get the lyrical smack down; so does A-list actor Vivica Fox ("Get In My Car") for even daring to consider their rendezvous to be anything more than a fling. Despite beat contributions from Aftermath hombres (Eminem, Dr. Dre), some of the better beats come courtesy of lesser-known beatsmiths like Disco D ("Ski Mask Way") and the always consistent Hi-Tek, whose "Ryder Music" is a sick concoction of keys and haunting vocals. At 22 tracks (with no inane interludes), it's worth the loot, but it doesn't cover up 50's artistic regression since Get Rich. --Dalton Higgins
The Massacre Reviews:
G-unit 4 life! 
2007-07-12 - HELP!!!!
Great album!!! I already own the regular one but planning to buy this one for the VIDEOS. Can anyone please tell me if you can put them on an iPod!!!
Moron. 
2006-07-30 - This is mindless trash. Anyone who gives this thing more than one star is the laughing stock of my life. How many times can you idiots listen to this fool talk about the same nonsense over and over again?
Is it sinking in yet? HELLO?! KNOCK KNOCK!! Wake up and start supporting talented musicians and kick this piece of trash back to the gutter where he belongs.
Thank God I'm not a teenager anymore. I'd have to kill myself if I had to put up with my peers listeninig to this garbage every day. I feel bad for all those kids out there who appreciate TALENT and are constantly having this tool's music shoved down their throats on a daily basis. Truly.
You must be a F***ing r**ard to consider this talentless w**ker a musician !!
2006-06-17 - God this guy is absolutely pathetic, he's now one of the richest people in music but for doing what? Wearing excessive gold, not having an ounce of talent in his body? for singing in his childish lyrics how much of a bad *ss he is or for getting shot however many times ( which unfortunately didn't kill the b***ard ). The answer is yes; this is why he is rich. It's worrying to know there are enough plain stupid people in this world to actually buy this c**p, just goes to show how much unoriginal land sheep like these people are to just go with the trend and "enjoy" listening to this p**ck.
Like basically every other Hip - Hop artist to exist today, the stuff they write about and get paid millions of dollars for isn't in my opinion music - Some uneducated piece of s**t from a broken home basically talking about how hard there life is and how rich they are now. And when it comes to Hip Hop, the actual music its self is only 50 perCENT of the cra**y package, oh no because not only are these losers showing off in their lyrics, their image and the way they present themselves on TV to them is just as important. It's almost impossible these days to flick through the music channels and not fins some idiot wearing to much gold, baggy clothing leaning up against some flash car with half a dozen women surrounding him because as far as there concerned music is about image when it is anything but that. Music's about meaningful lyrics, proper instruments, i.e. a guitar if any of you hip hop fans know that that is and melody. Posing yes, I agree this c**ks pi**es all over any other musician when it comes to posing, but sadly I don't think any talented musician would really care about that because they can feel comfortable wearing regular clothing as they don't need expensive over the top garments to make themselves feel good as their music can make them feel good enough.
So there we have it my review, I'm sure a lot of you want to kill me for writing this, if so your either a complete r**ard or just scared to face the fact that your one of the sheep in the mindless flock.
Dumbazz
