The Massacre: Special Edition

I have been listening to hip-hop and its genious since I can remember and have always admired such landmarks that need to be noticed such as Illmatic, The Great Adventures Of Slick Rick, Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, The Low End Theory and one of my all time favourites Ready To Die, from the late Biggie Smalls. There are too many to name.

Being such a fan I feel that it is my duty to shout out to the people and explain why this album is a disgrace to hip-hop and all it stands for.

'The Massacre' is nothing more than a crap attempt at making an R&B album. Now I have nothing against R&B but I have got problems with artists who are making records that turn hip-hop into R&B, such as 50 Cent and G-Unit.

This album is a pathetic excuse for music and should not be classed as hip-hop. Those who have the nerve to say that it is 'true hip-hop' (which is quite a few) know nothing of the word and think that 50 Cent is a gangster so they follow him. This is how hip-hop is changing and, inevitibally, dying thanks to artists such as 50 Cent and his 'gangsta' G-Unit.

I think that The Game shows alot of potential in his album 'The Documentary' and will, intime, switch up his flow so that he can compete against such hip-hop gods as Slick Rick, 2pac and The Notorious B.I.G. 50 Cent, however, has no hip-hop talent left in khis body and therefore can only sing his way up the ladder of R&B superstar. Even though its pretty hard to tell what the hell he's talking about most of the time!

If you wanna listen to good, fun music then The Game will moisten you up, especially since releasing 'Ghost Unit' which is an official mixtape and basically makes a fool of 50 Cent.

Thank you for reading this and I hope my point has got across on why this album is not hip-hop or good at all.

Eminem should sit down with 50 and tell him that even gangstas can talk about love or some sort of emotion (other than anger). Think about all of the greats (BIG, Pac, Jay-Z etc) none of them were (or are) afraid to talk about something other than shooting people (eg BIG's Suicidal Thoughts), however if 50 gets off of the subjects of killing or sex he seems sadly lost. In 1 song he seems stupidly proud of A Baltimore Love Thing, 50 uses a method already used by Nas and Tupac, (who both use extended metaphors to rap about guns) 50 attempts to rap along as if he is herion, but seems miserably confused, at times he is herion and at other times he seems to forget and raps as some sort of abusive husband.

His rhymes seem pathetic and ridiculous, I mean I would challenge anyone to find 5 songs on the album where 50 doesn't rhyme the words HOOD and GOOD. His flow is weak at times, and on The Guns Come Out, appears to attempt to sing, which really is just funny.

Personally i like both more hard core rap along with pop rap, so it's not his 'popiness' which I dislike about 50, it's his complete lack of a likeable personality and his obbession that no one can rival him despite the poorness of his rhymes. I could rip into every single song on the whole album, but I won't.

PS the bonus DVD of 50 live in concert is also pathetic, and definitly cemented in my mind that I should never ever ever ever see him perform live. His whole show seems to revolve around taking off his shirt, and putting his middle finger up at the crowd. WHAT A GENIUS.
