To all you morons who just keep saying "stop hating" and claiming people just wanna see his downfall: STFU.

I'm a rap fan and I liked 50's first album and his second was OK.

But since then he's been utter garbage. He was never that good to begin with he just had great melodic hooks. But now he's AWFUL.

This album is straight-up trash. Self-centered, self-indulgent bull**** and half of it is just bad Eminem impersonating.

He started off a big solid, invincible tough gangsta bang bang but now that Em's come back in psycho form he's suddenly a fragile-minded psycho who needs SLEEP medication too? Lmao, what a joker.

He's a rubbish lyricist, an even worse flower and he has no creativity. It's just line after line about his drug past, how he will still shoot niggas up or how ****ing rich he is. He's lame as ****.

So no, that's not 'hating'. That's logical distaste due to his now terrrrribbble music that's an embarressment to the game.

He can't even face losing either and he's embarressing himself further. At first he claimed this album would not only sell a million copies but that it would be better than GRODT and it would 'revolutionize' the rap game... LMFAO.

It only just sold over a tenth of a million, isn't as tenth as good as Get Rich and hasn't even got the attention of the game never mind changed it.

If it was just people 'hating' then they'd also be doing the same to Eminem and Nas who have been around for much longer. Eminem much more successful critically and commercially too. Biggest selling rapper ever.

But they aren't. Em sold 600k in a week. Know why? Because he's still innovating and his lyricism is amazing. And his flows are magic.

50 is just a joke. Songs with R-Kelly and Ne-Yo. ****ing sell-out.

The reviewer was spot on. I don't care to talk about 50's accomplishments (making the mixtape famous [Know Music, he didn't invent it] OR the fact that he's sold a bunch of records), Marc Hogan was asked to review THIS album, and that he did.

BISD is 50's worst effort ever, and after releasing an album like Curtis, that's saying a lot. The beats are, for the most part, terrible, his flows are uncreative and redundant and even his melodies don't gel with the musical canvas anymore--can you honestly say he's getting better at this rap thing?

And I really liked 50 years ago. His first two albums along with the first G-Unit project are permanent staples in my collection. But, I'll always be an objective listener. And I think it's time for 50 to hang it up. With bad musical releases and these obnoxious acts aimed at his rap peers, he's really tarnishing his own legacy.

Bottom line is, if even you remove this reviewers opinion from your mind, looking at the sales of this album, the public has clearly spoken. Curtis' music just isn't making the grade.

why are so many people hating on 50? When I heard this album it reminded me of Get Rich or Die Tryin'. I hate that it took him so long to get back to his roots but nevertheless, this is a great album. I wouldn't say it's better than BP3 but it's up there with that and Relapse. Stop hatin' a listen to good music.

you're a ****in moron...Really....Just don't speak. You are a fucckin embarrassment to the human race..and hip hop community.

this album is utterly devoid of innovation, drowning in self-importance and so utterly hypocritical it becomes comical. 50 Cent has never been a strong rapper, but when lacklustre beats like this are all that can be mustered to hide that fact,you know the gig is up.retirement is inevitable and welcome. outkast have written better lyrics with their autographs.

besy albulm since da debut bt 50 still hot this albulm iz the **** idk y it did da numbers it did its jus cause the people dnt like 50 because simply he keeps it real an none of dem otha muth****as do keep it up fif jus let da nex albulm be hell 4 all da hatin azz dick suckers

50 cent is too old for this. Grow up!

wooow talk about not giving 50 a chance to come back....u really want to see 50's downfall sooo bad that u even went negative about 50's best track on the album'then days went by'....I always wander y these imbeciles get paid money to discredit such a great album...this album is obviously better than Jigga's Blueprint 3 album ...blueprint 3 just had 2 great songs like'empire state of mind' and 'young forever'....but 50 brings consistency throughout the whole album except for 'baby by me' and 'get it hot'...other than that this album is the best hip hop album after Em's 'relapse' album......I would have given this 4 stars out of 5..it's only right

Sorry, man. I gotta give it to the majority. I would give this album at least 4 out of 5. You have to admit, after so many soft mixtapes that weren't really impressive (Forever King was a disappointment), and even after Curtis, which has been "wack" comparing to Massacrte and Get Rich, BISD really gets back to the streets with sticky-hard style hooks that will remain in your head. Ne-Yo's hook really helps in Baby by me, balancing the so-called "Solf **** rhymes" 50 brings.
"So Disrispectful" reminded me to "Piggy Bank" and I'm really into that, after all the buck-game situation.

This homie sounds right on with this review! Lets hit the clubs!

This album is sick whoever wrote this is retarded.

@know music

your sooo right!!!

thanx for pointin it out man

4.5 out 5.. it looks like people just dont wona like 50cent...
it dosen't matter how great his work is, people still fined time to hate...

50cent is the first human being to do mix-tape but no one
wants to remember that.. (he the reason why mix-tape is alive today)
and we all know mix-tape IS the foundation of music..
but all we do is... push the great work he's done for the music game
aside and point out his error!!!

and i undersatnd some of you are upset cos he took out ur favorite rapper or went against ur ravorite rapper.
but is not a way to judge him on that..

as a human being, would you like it if people judge you only on your
errors and cancelled out the good works you done in life???

NO!!!... i dont think so!!!

He sucks incredibly...Hip-Hop has become a parody of itself and fiddy is its most laughable clown

It's obvious the reviewer isn't reviewing from an unbiased position. Does envy really seep to pseudo-journalists? ... tell 'em why you're mad kid.

"His best work since Get Rich" -- spot on

Not complaining about the review, just think there could've been more to say about an album as highly anticipated as this one... anyway, although I loved most of the beats, 50 is just not that great of a rapper, to be honest. I agree with the reviewer, its a solid 2.5/5 stars.

bad review, I can tell you wanted to not like. Easily his best album since Get Rich. and you even say the "first half" which is really the first 10 or so songs sounds like his debut all over again. That only leaves a 3 or 4 songs not to like and yet you give it 2 stars.
