50 Cent – I Get Money
Aside from having an extremely honest album cover, 50 Cent really intrigues me. Not only has he managed to release two great albums, get great endorsements with Vitamin Water, he has also turned himself into quite the celebrity, keeping his name in the press by making the risque appearance in the Ciara video, as well as just saying whatever to whomever he wants. Regardless of what anyone says, 50 knows who is audience is and he knows how to appeal to both sides of the spectrum. Curtis, 50′s third major-label studio album, is a great blend of street-credible songs, and mainstream music. He used a wide range of production, from super producers like Dr. Dre and Timbaland, to little-knowns and newcomers, as well as a host of guest appearances ranging from Akon, Robin Thicke, Justin Timberlake, Eminem, Young Buck, Nicole Scherzinger, Mary J. Blige and Tony Yayo. Although 50′s cocky, you can’t help but notice he’s got a reason to be.
50 Cent feat. Young Buck & Nicole Scherzinger – Fire
Besides the single’s 50′s released before the release on September 11, stand out tracks include “I’ll Still Kill” (as much as I’m not feelin’ Akon, I’d be lying if I said he doesn’t add something to songs), “Peep Show,” and “All of Me.” Make sure you pick up 50 Cent’s album on 9/11 and show him some support. Also, log on to 50cent.com or his MySpace for updates.
I thought this post was about Curtis Blow from the title, im dissapointed.
my opinion…this Curtis album is ass booty whack. I’m sorry as I said before, Kanye killin all these jive turkey’s. But most cats can’t see pass Kanye’s production on Graduation. Listen to the man’s lyrics.
Honestly I think Kanye is the better lyrical talent, but any artist that manages to sell a “Diamond Status” album has the right to talk as much shit as wanted.. Heads up to 50 though, rap battling with Wayne is a bad idea… I’m so Louisiana
Its straight crap (crap on a sidewalk!!). I hate 50 and his overlapped forehead skin!!
I wish magilla gorilla would retire………………..
I think 50 is going to lose of this one. Kanye has a different rap technique, its like original. 50.copy cat
CANT KNOCK THE HUSTLE. 50 KNOWS HOW TO MARKET HIMSELF,HE WENT FROM THE TRAP GAME, TO THE RAP GAME, CONTROVERSY BREEDS MONEY. AS FOR KANYE HES TALENTED, HOPE HE MAKES A COME UP TO. BESIDES 50 REALLY DONT CARE WHAT NONE OF THE HATERS HAVE TO SAY BECAUSE “HE GETS MONEY” YA HEARD.
man…..i can’t even front….CURTIS is sounding pretty decent. i’ve already listened to both of the albums, and i’ve skipped less of 50′s tracks. Kanye is definitely the better lyricist….but 50′s swagger is sounding right over the beats.
Why all the hate? Dayum. No matter how much hate you’ll spew on this post the man pockets are way longer than Kayne’s. Is that the reason for the hate? I read some of these posts and I thought that I was going to be disappointed when I listened to his songs b/c most of you’ll were talking like it was straight garbage. I listened and I liked. 50 do you boo. Or should I say CONTINUE to do you and make that cheddar. Now I can’t front. I like 50 but I will not be buying his nor Kayne cd.
kanye is wack, because fifty dropped I get money and ayo technology he’s gonna be number one when the ablum drops sept. 11. By the way fuck kanye’s gay ass
I hear both albums and neither are anything to write home about. Both are capable of better, BUT I listen to Kanye’s more. All the hot joints on 50′s album we’ve already heard. The rest is pure doo doo.
it is WACK i mean i like “Ayo Technology”, “Fire”, “I Get Money”, “All Of Me”, and 2 others but the rest is like wateva Kanye’s album is BETTER
TEAM 50
WOW IT REALLY IS JUST STRAIGHT HATERATION ON 50 FROM LIKE 80-90% OF THE COMMENTS HERE…
I CAN SAY THAT I HEARD THE WHOLE KANYE WEST ALBUM AND IT WAS NOT ALL THAT…I EXPECTED SO MUCH MORE PRODUCTION WISE. NOTHIN POPPED THAT MADE ME PAY ATTENTION, BUT THAT WAS JUST THE ONE TIME LISTEN THROUGH SO I’LL CHECK AGAIN.
AND AT ONE POINT I THINK I MAY HAVE HATED ON 50 MUSICALLY W/ NO FOUNDATION BUT I’LL GIVE HIM CRED FOR, I GET MONEY & AYO TECHNOLOGY. QUALITY FLOW BANGIN PRODUCTION.
Graduation is cool but Curtis is a bit better…..I’m not Kanye hater though….get both albums.
not a*
WOW ITS IIGHT BUT 50 NEED 2 GO PACK 2 HIS GET RICH OR DIE TRYIN DAYS. WHEN HE WAS GRINGING AND DIDN’T HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE FREATURED ON HIS ALBUM
I MEANT 2 SAY GRINDING NOT GRINGING N BACK NOT PACK
50 is wack and i already know the album will be…after i bought the massacre i vowed to never buy anymore 50/g-unit albums..it’s pop trash..especially after i heard how bad lloyd banks rotten apple was..i dont even really buy CDs much anymore but if i had 2 pick i’d definetly pick KANYE u can tell he puts his all into his music, while 50 jus hops on the track and mumbles about how rich he is, its old recycled and not interesting at all..
and 2 me hearing 50 rap is nauseating…i mean a 3rd grader could rap better, the only song i can listen to him is i get money and its mainly cuz of the beat not 50 himself, i’ve heard “follow my lead” it sounds just like another r&b song off his massacre album..BOO! what happened to songs like what up gangsta? and if i can’t and many men?? i miss the old 50, i dont like him anymore hes not gangsta hes just corny and doesnt try anymore..and im not hatin cuz i used 2 love me some 50 til he became the wackest rapper alive
Im sry but i gotta go wit Kanye.. i respect 50s hustle but other then that hes wack as hell… n da 2nd song is proof.. he needs 2 stick wit 1 get money n ayo technology
“support 50″ Brian sorry but I can’t support him. I’m tired of his mouth and always trying to start stuff with everybody and then putting Ciara out there. If I like the sound of any of his songs I’ll be getting them from Limewire.
I bought Kanye’s CD though.
WOW, its funny how many ppl really buy into 50′s hype, one its shallow music with no meaning, he is not doing anything for the “game”. yea he is a smart business man but he is getting rich off of all his “stupid a** supporters”, they are putting so much into a person that only doing enough to keep getting your money. wack is right, sounds like a bunch of old tracks that beats and lyrics were revamped just a little bit, his cover is wack, kanye’s cover is better(be honest) music really has a meaning, which our culture really need so that we can stop being looked at badly. the only reason y 50 did sell more is becuz Kanye did not hold any beefs wit any one plus ppl were to ingorant to Comprehend Kanye’s music read a book ppl.
P.S and yea he is not all that because all of his record sales have been falling 12 million, 11 milliln……………..ummmm lets take a guess this time 8 million
“Fire” sounds like a lame attempt to make a strip club anthem, but umm, NO!
Young Buck’s part is the cutest thing about this song. Nicole is played…..
that shit is hot as hell forget what everybody eles says about it
