Customer Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - Definitely released the right singles!! If you are thinking about buying this album based on the songs you have heard on the radio, you may be dissapointed because there is nothing as catchy as "wanksta" and "In da club" on here. While "21 questions" if released as a single will definitely keep 50's momentum going on the radio, the harder tracks on here are average at best. "Backdown" and "If I cant" being two of the better ones. Trying to compare this to Tupac or Biggies work is crazy. Not even close. As far as debuts go Jayz's debut album "Reasonable Doubt" blows this out of the water, never mind the Biggie and Pac masterpieces!! Come to think of it the white kid from Detroit who produced and rhymes on a couple of the tracks ("Patiently Waiting" being one of the stronger tracks) comes much closer to being cut from the same cloth as a Big and Pac, but doesnt get recognized for it cause of the color of his skin. Just listen to how much tighter his flow is than 50's on the joints they do together. Anyway, thats a whole other debate in itself. Sorry if Im being to critical cause this album is worth the buy, but if you are looking for slammin beats and sick flows go pick up Raekwons first solo project "Only Built for Cuban Linxs". Now thats "Heat". Rating: - Solid, if unspectacular, effort 50 Cent's first album released since having attained massive name recognition does not disappoint. You know what you're going to get, and, if you include the bonus cuts, you get 18 tracks' worth of it. "It" is 50's lazy-yet-infectious flow over melodic-yet-rugged beats, with lyrical content ranging from macho posturing to macho posturing. Anybody who would mention such output in the same breath as Illmatic, Ready to Die, Nation of Millions, or any other bona fide classic probably became a Hip Hop head five minutes ago when they first saw Eminem on MTV. That said, this is a thoroughly entertaining album. When the beats are hitting, which is the case on most tracks, 50's aforementioned flow riding the beat is enough to get your head nodding and keep you entertained. Standout tracks include Don't Push Me, Many Men, and Back Down. At this point, dissing Ja Rule is about as daring a move as 3rd Bass dumping on Vanilla Ice in "Pop Goes the Weasel," but the beat is nice, and the disses are appropriately personal. The downside to this album is that when the beats are lacking, the monosyllabic simplicity of 50's lyrical style and repetitive content aren't enough to carry a track. One need only listen to P.I.M.P. to understand where I'm coming from. Additionally, 50 is not a great singer, and so the fact that he insists on singing on every hook is unfortunate. In sum, is you like 50, you'll like this, and if you don't, he's not going to convert you with Get Rich or Die Tryin'. Then again, given that he sold a staggering 872,000 copies in less than a week, I doubt he's too worried about converts. A little less singing, and the elimination of a few extraneous tracks would have tightened up the album, but in the final analysis, this is still worth copping. 3.5/5 Rating: - Solid Debut 50 Cent comes through with a solid debut album, but don't dare compare it to Nas's Illmatic or Jigga's Reasonable Doubt. A few tracks are just fillers. Tracks 2-8 are solid bangers that get heavy rotation in my player. But after that, the CD goes down until 21 Questions and Don't Push Me, which end the album very well. "If David can go against Goliath with a stone, I can go at Nas and Jigga both for the throne." Sorry, but 50 is not up to par with Jigga and definantly no where near Nas. For now, he'll have to settle for third in NYC.
