50 Cent - Curtis

[Second Coming]

That's some funny ass shit!

[One and Only]

Plies isn't a great rapper & probably never will be but what he does, he does well & much more interestingly than Talib/Common fake conscious nerd bullshit. (this year's KRS-One & Public Enemy > both them also.)

Pumpkinhead is a whiny zero... & I have the goddamn cd here; like I said, I listen to Marco but promise, nobody is going after Pumpkinhead in the future unless he has a major artistic breakthrough.

can't tell if you're serious or not but Chamillionare ** is ** great; exactly when did Talib or Common EVER top "Hip Hop Police/Evening News"? thanks for your quick reply.

Nope wasn't being sarcastic Chamillionaire is one talented guy. Been liking him for awhile now before he blew up and now that he has and everybody bumping him I'm glad cause he deserves that shine.

This cd isn't any good, but it still shits on Kanye's cd, which is very disappointing.

50 Cent came out with the safest album possible, he is afarid to take a chance......this will be his downfall!!!

Jay-Z reivented himself with THE BLUEPRINT, if 50 wants to stay relevant he needs to do something different next time around

[Storm]

was a good album, a little better than massacre.

[37thParallel]

Chamillionare is the only dude at the moment with all the publicity he has, who can bring back Hip-Hop

Log off and never log on again.

Good Day Sir.

[junius]

huh? the dude is right-- NOBODY with #s (which is not the final arbiter but we're talking in BIG COMMERCIAL sense) is as on point as Cham at the moment. What does Nas sell? How much of a piece of shit was the last Jay-Z, who's not exactly political to begin with? Is "Big Brother" on "Graduation" bring anything but dogshit back?

Anyway, "Curtis"-- I voted banger. The Akon chorus is the best I've heard by him & only a cpl tracks really lack. From the censorship of "Man Down" to "Amusement Park," the disc definitely suffers some from trying to be too much to too many people. If 50 ever wanted to make another all-street album, I think it'd kill-- he STILL has the skills & wit that made "Power of The Dollar" heat, he just does other things now too... some I like, some I don't but it'd ridiculous to deny his strengths...

... but maybe that's why so many white nerds buy Aesop Rock records instead?

yep yep

[junius]

i'll tell ya'll what too-- i usually don't think like this but

Akon & Mary J. Blige > anything off of "Graduation"... it's actually really cool hearing 'em sing dark shit like that.

an uncensored "Man Down" would have made me wish 50 had signed Kool G. Rap when he went on his old-timers spree.

solid album, some real nice beats on here and typically humorous rhymes but its still his worst album to date, and it also includes probably the worst verse ive heard from eminem.

OVERRALL RATING 8/10 STREETS IS FEELING IT

I NEVER HEARD KANYE SHIT CUZ BUT I HAVE A HUNCH THE STREETS WOULD RATE IT G NOT FOR GENERAL AUDIENCES BUT G AS IN GAY.

[RynMur]

Some of you must be crazy If you think this album is anything above solid. Didn't really had too many standout tracks, a handful of good sonds, and a few skippable songs. Seems like he worked harder on the chorus' then the actual songs.

Top 3: I'll Still Kill, I Get Money, All Of Me

Overall Grade: (2.5/5) C

[buckshotstheone]

no bullshit, this has gotta be one of the worst albums of the year. i think 50 Cent is part of that "going green" movement, this entire album is recycled material...lyrics, beats, i've heard it all before. hey 50, can you tell me one more time how you are the teflon don? i'm not sure i've fully understood it yet


oh and seriously, i don't care if 50 cent WENT to the hood to write an album, he ain't LIVING there no more, he lives in a white upper class neighborhood in sleepy Connecticut, he couldn't be further from the hood, so all this "i'm in the hood" talk is a load of shit, wanna-be thug....stealing his name from a real gangster....
