1) Intro - Kinda out of context with a 50cent album, not bad, actually pretty original, not gonna bother giving this a rating

2) My Gun Go Off - Probably the best track we hadn't already heard off the album, 50's chorus is him at his best, the music is highly charged and fits it perfectly, a first class start 2the album, memorable line: The opening line is hot as hell!! 4.5/5

3) Man Down - Nice Track, feeling the beat, the chorus aint bad, like his style on this track, the censoring does spoil the flow of the song, and it would've been hotter if he went on the way he started, telling a story, the song starts off with sum hot lines "I told my lawyer i aint heard of homie, and everybody know my niggaz murder 4me" and 4 sum reason i really like the delivery 4/5

4) I'll Still Kill - Ill chorus by the usually annoying akon, third song in a row about killing a mother but i have 2say 3 for 3 so far, very good quality start 2the album, the only problem with this song is 50 does 2verses, whats with 50 only doing 2verses per song these days??! memorable line: "Ask Preme 50 don't back down" 4.5/5

5) I Get Money - At This point the album seems as if its gonna be a classic "have a baby by me baby be a millioniare i write the check b4 the baby comes who the fuck cares im stanky rich" 4me the lyrics in this song are some of the best on the album, loving the chorus and the music sets the scene perfectly, probably the best track on the album, again only 2 verses though!! 5/5

6) Come and go - overhyped and under produced (cheap rip off of a dre beat) the repetitiveness of the beat gets annoying and the chorus seems cut and pasted, advertised as in the club part 2, a low point of the album so far 4me though expected more and the line "They cant do it how i do it, im number 1 i knew it" seems kinda ironic 2me looking at the way things with Kanye are going 3.5/5

7) Ayo Technology - We've all heard this 1 and 4me its an absolute banger, not a song i would expect from 50 and 2b honest it kinda feels more like a justin song featuring 50, would have been better with another verse from 50, its def a new look 4 50 and a bitmore pop than usual but its a gamble that definatly works 4me 4.5/5

8) Follow My Lead - After getting back on track the album takes another turn 4the worse, far far 2soft 4me, corney hook from 50, kinda reminds me of best friend, which is not a good thing, lyrics are mushy and boring " u can be my beyonce i'll b your jay, i got a great sense of humour" Yeah right, im glad he's lazy and only does 2verses with this 1!! 3/5

9) Movin On Up - This 2me is a filler track, very average, chorus is ok, beat is a bit annoying, the first verse kinda just sound like a really really long 50 chorus, the repetivesness of it is pretty annoying really aint feeling this 1!! 3/5

10) Straight 2the bank - This song is older than the guy doing the annoying laugh in the chorus (Yayo) 4me when it come out it was an average song and it hasnt really got better with time, the lyrics aren't that bad, the beat is a bit annoying and yayo's laugh just pisses me off!! should have been left off the album IMO 3/5

11) Amusement Park -Horrible song!! attempt at Candy shop part 2, which wasnt 1 of his best songs 2start with!! Whoever produced this should be shot (Chris Styles apparently) heres plenty of water rides im sure 2get u wet in the park" Sums up the song reallly... wet!! Easily the worst song on the album!! 2.5/5

12) Fully Loaded Clip - The best of the 3really old songs on the album, these three could easily hav been left off the album, and it would have been much better 4it, having said that its not a bad song, a lil cheap shot at Wayne included 2!! 3.5/5

13) Peep Show - Extremely cheesy, predictable Eminem beat, but 4sum reason it kinda works, not in the same league as patiently waiting but not nearly as bad as gatman and robbin which was a lowlight of the last album!! not really feeling Em's verse though!! 3.5/5

14) Fire - One of dre's worst produced tracks ever period!! having said that dre at his worst is better than most producers at there best and its far from horrible, love bucks part "Take the bricks and break them down..." could have done with a verse from him though!! 3.5/5

15) All Of Me - Not a bad song, very MJB influenced though, just like Ayo Technology with Justin earlier, if i wanted 2listen 2a MJB song i'd buy her album not 50's, its the lack of 50 verses that contrbute 2this and her annoyinh whaling at the end, not really feeling this, mainly coz it aint a 50 song 3.5/5

16) Curtis 187 - "They say im grimey im greasy i make a 187 look easy" thats just ill, if the album had more tracks like this we'd have the old 50 back!!! in competition with My Gun Go Off 4 best song we hadn't heard, ill production and 3verses!!! 4.5/5

17) Touch The Sky - I find Yayo's voice so annoying, it actually hurts my eardrums 2listen 2him!! Feeling the production and 50's verse is pretty dope, but Yayo spoils it "I'll have an RIP sign on your myspace page" cant 50 get sum1 2ghost 4him if he insists on puttin him out?!!! could have been redeamed with another verse from 50 but instead fades out, leaves a bad taste in my mouth having Yayo's voice as the last thing u hear!! 3/5

18) Smile (Bonus Track) - The Reason this want on the album probably has something 2do with the lines "i told jimmie iovine ass 2shut the fuck up" and "my mind body and soul tell me im being pimped and it make me sick" a very honest track, like the laid back track mixed with the honest lyrics and u kinda feel that 50 isnt really feeling rap at the moment and is a bit frustrated with sum of the hate he's recieving, the album could do with more tracks like this that actually show us something of how 50 is feeling rather than the bragado that we are acustomed 2from him on this album! 4.5/5

Overall - 4me this ended up being a lazy effort 4 50, i have no doubt he is capable of great things! (GRODT) but whats with nearly every track only having 2verses!! the production for the most part is average and in consistant and where used the features (MJB, JT, Robin Thicke and Akon) take over the song and make 50 feel like an outsider on his own tracks!! This is largely due 2the 2verse formula which doesnt really work!! the old songs (Straight 2the bank, Amusement Park and fully Loaded Clip) should have been replaced and 50 should have used sum in house production (Dre, Hi Tek, Focus), a few producers like EP, JR Rottem and Scott Storch could have probably added something 2!! not a total disaster of an album and about on par with the massacre, but like almost every other rap fan i just want another album like GRODT, i do fear this may never happen (Just look at snoop after doggystyle) there may be some hope though (Think nas stillmatic) but 1thing is for sure this is a much softer 50 for the most part, the songs where he shows sum edge are easily the best tracks on the album

3.5/5 Overall

The Real K.I.N.G.

Our you still listening to this cause you forgot 2 tracks + 1 if you heard the bonus btw I respect everyones opinion.

How does every1 think this compares 2recent g unit releases IMO
Buck The World>Curtis>Rotten Apple

David

Well in regards to your last post, I really think Rotten Apple was a dope album and gets hated on more then it should, but that's my opinion...

I don't agree with your Yayo comments, I thought his verse on the album MADE that track to be honest. Yayo has crazy flow and DEFINETELY does not need a ghostwriter. I agree with parts of your review though...

bran9413

this album wasnt that bad

Im prob kinda biased 2wards Yayo 2be honest, he just irritates the shit outta me, I dont hate RA, its just not on par with The hunger 4more IMO, most of the Gunit albums r good quality, the only 1's i cant listen 2 r the Yayo and Mobb Deep albums, The best 1's are GRODT and the Documentary!! The Curtis album wasnt bad, it just comes nowhere near GRODT, which will always be the measuring stick 4 all 50's albums

AftermathBWS

It wasnt that bad, it just wasnt that good, 50's an artist with high expectations

AftermathBWS

Thanks homie, this aint a classic like sum people are saying, wish is was but thats the reality!!

still me

thats whats up, but i dont know about the rating on "Come & Go" thats the shit. the best i think.
propsss....

fugitivep

ayy thread starter you know come and go is a dre beat right? not one of those cheap knock offs you mentioned

bobclown69

good rating...liked movin on up though. Really good review and you should add a review of smile. He wanted to put it on the album but interscope wouldnt let him.

Nah man its really not, Dre had nothing 2do with the beat, i actually bought the album unlike sum people and dre aint mentioned in the song credits at all!!!

AftermathBWS

Smile added, very good track

ACole

This album was garbage and so was The Massacre oh wait so is 50 and his whole g unit crew

I think Rotten Apple is better than Curtis, but Buck eats the cake this time

AftermathBWS

Yeah man, buck easily the best of the 3, 4me its a close call between curtis and RA, RA is better lyrically and Curtis production wise, so give it 2 curtis, here is 1 that is gonna make the dickryders mad though, IMO the doctors advocate is way better than all 3!!!!

AftermathBWS

Well wouldnt go that far but its your opinion!!!lol

stuntzwiththaunit

it wasnt bad, but game always talks about 64's, daytons, dr dre, NWA, easy e.
but i liked that swizzy joint on there.

Lex4158

``good review, i agree with all of it, especially the 3 songs that should of been left out, if 50 would of replaced those songs this would of been close to a classic

the doctors advocate? wtf r u niggaz stupid? that album had like 2 good songs, and didnt even feature dre,when dre was mentioned in almost every verse by game.

S to the T

propz for the review

justincredible19

i gave this album a 7.5 thats all.
