    50 cents new album is perfect because of his spectacular 1st cd everyone thinks hes falling of but hes not. He kinda wanted the Massacre not to be so good even though it is threw my eyes perfect most fans are going to be disapointted. So when he drops his next album this year it will be looked at as a classic and if you listen to 50's lyrics he even says "This is Chess not Checkers 50 cents new album is perfect because of his spectacular 1st cd everyone thinks hes falling of but hes not.

After the Massacre 50 will drop a Boab cd that will earn the fans respect back and it will be a lot easier after dropping a stank cd.… Expand

    This CD is Tight.... I dont know why all you are tripping and saying it sucks and 50 cent is over.. Man if he is over how come is album is selling so good right know. You all are just haters. The flow of the album is incredible, and the beats are just what hip-hop likes. A definite must buy.

    This album is incredible. Any one who gives it a 4 or below is an idiot or just hates 50. This album is way more original than the first.

    This album is off the fucking chanz nigga, I was listening to it, It just blows "Get Rich Or Die Trying" out of the water. I think there is some litlle bitches that dislike 50 cuz he rips on Nas and Ja Rule for being the pussies they are. Besides, Nas fucking blows at being a rap artist. He hasn't had an album yet that can compare to 50's 8 Million!!!

    5 hot songs, which is more than you can say with most albums. a few crappy ones. the rest are solid. way better than i expected and a solid, conistent effort. not too different from get rich or die tryin, but if you liked that one you'll probably like this. the 5 hot songs: Gunz Come Out, Ski Mask Way, Ryder Music, Position of Power, I Don't Need Em

    This cd is just very good... the variety is pretty big, and sometimes 50 even sings instead of rapping. The beats and rap are simply fantastic, and with G-Unit and Olivia on several tracks, the cd will be the best of this year.

    Not all of Massacre is as immediately catchy as Get Rich, but it's close.

    A joyride of an album that's as fun as it is familiar. [2 Mar 2005, p.E2]

    It's pretty much all the same synth leads, bang-bang beats, and tired rhymes as every other Aftermath related project since The Eminem Show, which wasn't that great either.
