50 Cent, Curtis

50 cent is a great rapper who tells tales about his life and also about day to day life on the streets. He grew up around some bad things and he has had countless fights with rival rappers. His songs include swearing but his music is great!

Lets put it this way .. Mr jackson must be out his mind if he thought this would sell even remotely close to get rich or die tryin', which was an incredible album lyrically and production-wise by the way... This stuff is almost as half-ass as his buddy lloyd banks' rotten apple attempt, which was a pathetic album considering ur second album is just as, if not more important than ur first album...and finally, mr mathers, who one day will go down as by far the greatest wordsmith in the entire rap era, said himself that the song 'peep show' was only supposed to be on 'the re-up' ...which was just nothing more than a top-notch mixtape ...dre and em musta been like 'dude ur 50 cent... this is the best u got'???

50 has lost it. His first album Get Rich Or Die Tryin is a classic, however somewhere over the bridge he fell off. Wack. Any true hip hop fan will feel the same. I've listened to Hip Hop from the days of the Wu. DON'T BUY. Waste of money. Let him fall even further.

Well I'm not the biggest Hip Hop fan but am open to anything so when I heard that 50 Cent had released much awaited new album Curtis in it's entirety on Myspace I decided to give it a listen.

Well it's actually quite good. Admittedly this is my first foray into 50 Cent as an artist and I do not claim to be an expert on Hip Hop, however I can see why he has such a following. There's 16 cracking tunes here including single Ayo Techology featuring Justin Timberlake. Definitely worth checking out if you're a fan.

Something I've noticed however is the release date of the actual album being 9/11, which also strangely coincides with the release of Kanye West's new album, Graduation. A show of solidarity or a huge marketing stunt? You decide.
