Customer Ratings & Reviews

pretty good album it was on sale when i bought it so why not get it

50 was still hungry when he made this cd. So this is a classic

I don't know what people are talking about saying that this album doesn't live up to the 50 hype. I have been listening since some of his mixtapes hit the streets and became avaible to those who were looking (about 6 months before Get Rich or Die Trying). This album is good and the only reason I can see for people saying that its not as good as his first is that there aren't as many as "radio" tracks on it. These tracks are hard and he even takes a shot at R. Kelly. This CD is all 50. If you look at the collabarations on this one, most of the guests are only there for the refrain/chorus. Akon, Justin, Robin Thicke, only there for the refrains. I love this album and recommend that you go out and pick this up right now. Forget Kanye's soft weak album and get this today!

Its very simple if you are a 50 Cent fan, you will be very happy. If you didn't like the two first singles "Amusement Park" and "Straight to Bank" don't worry this album sounds nothing like that (although unfortunately they are included). If you liked "Get Money" and "Ayo Technology" then you will really like this. Far from his best but it is the usual 50 album - a little long, very violent, a little love, alot bragging. Enjoy!

I bought the album on the 11th when it came out and listened to it twice that night. It is definatly better than Kanye West's album Graduation by Far. On Kanye's cd there were only three songs that I considered worth while, the other 11 where terrible. The beats were good, but lyrically they were terrible. As for 50's cd though, out of the 17 tracks on the cd about 13 of them were really amazing!! However four were not really that great. All of the beats were incredible and lyrically, it was his best album. If you are a arge fan of "shoot 'em up" style rapping this album is exactly what you should buy. However if you are more into not real rap but hip-hop, then Kanye West's album is what you should buy if you are willing to pay $10 for about three good songs. I recomend 50's album. OUt of the songs the best are: Straight to the Bank, Curtis 187, Touch the Sky, I still Kill, My gun go off, and Amuesment Park. In other words, if you have the money for the cd, buy it. It is worth the money. I would have paid even more for it really, it is his best album by far and possibly one of the best main stream rap albums of all time.

I have purchased both 50 Cent's and Kanye's albums, and while I am a huge fan of the latter--50 rlly gets things done this time. he has his bass beats--classical 50 cent songs like "i get money" and "peep show" but now he also has new age music--with faster and much slower beats--"ayo technology" sounding as though it was straight out of timberlake's "FutureSex/LoveSounds"--nice fast beat. he has the slower ones 2 like "follow my lead" with a relaxing slow, piano tune. another new thing is that he has a lot more guest artists doing the choruses--blending 50's silky voice with those of other talents (akon, timberlake, timberland, mary j blige, robert thicke, the lead singer from pussycat dolls--dont know her name) overall this album was much better than kanye's--who only had 2 good songs, "stronger," and "good life." he's back.

I like 50 better than Kanye. Kanye is weird. I have the album already. More than half of the album is listen worthy. My favorite song is "All Of Me" with Mary J. 50 makes good girl songs. I will support him and go buy the real album.

First off this is by far not 50's best work but nonetheless is still a solid rap album. If you are a true rap fan and not just like hip-hop then I would recommend this album. If you are looking for radio version songs then this album is not for you. The album definitely gets better with time. So give it a chance

I really love this album it's one of his best....50 Cent is a very talented individual. He's very original and some people may think that he raps about the same stuff but to me it's all original. I would recommend this product to all even if you don't like rap. People can say what they want about 50 Cent but that's why he's making the big money and you ain't got none. He will continue to out sell any one who steps in his way from laughing straight to the bank. hahahahahaha

this is the same ole 50 cent. some good beats on here though and probably 2-3 solid songs that you can listen to with replay value. dont expect anything special but its the second best cd out besides kanye's. for a cd to have 2-3 solid songs is good these days. get kanye then get 50.

I went and purchase both 50 cent and kanye album on 9/11,to me Curtis is no way near his other two album,but i like the beats and he has a star-studded guests like Akon, Mary J. Blige, Robin Thicke, and Justin Timberlake, plus production from Timbaland, Dr. Dre, and Eminem.and like kanye album you can really vibe to this album.........so with that said money well spend...am from new york,ny and now live in tampa florida... the street may not like it........because i call some of my boys that back in the big apple and they not feeling it right now, because it not what we expect...but wait until fifty start beefing with Def Jam then you will get the fire for sure........love the alum anyway peace........

I was really disappointed with this cd. I had higher expectations, due to the fact that his previous albums "Get Rich or Die Tryin" and "Massacre" were well put together. The sounds and beats in this album compared to previous albums were poorly produced. The only songs that are worthy on this cd are Ayotechnology, I Get Money, and I'll Still Kill. Lately, 50 Cent just doesn't seem to have the motivation he use to have to make albums.

i think 50 did his thing on this album. he is never gonna do anything like get rich die trying but this was close to it. it little bit of everything on the album but its nothin close 2 kanye joint but worth picking up.

I bought this album with Graduation. I can't compare the two. They are two different types of music and production. 50's "Curtis" is of course never going to be like "Get Rich or Die Tryin'", but songs like "Man Down", "Fully Loaded Clip" and "Curtis 187" really bring out the rap that few have now. Singles like "I Get Money" and "Ayo Technology" Feat. Justin Timberlake, Timbaland have gotten radio stations spinning 50. If you don't like rap and 50's past albums don't buy it, but if you like a little bit of rap and 50 sometimes go get it because it's not going to disappoint.

I am a fan of 50 Cent and this Cd is Hot! I especially love the collaboration song with Mary J Blige. Most of the songs are good, with a hot beat to pump up in your car. Another Hot One from 50!!

As soon as I popped this disc in my Alpine chumpie I could hear and feel Fitty's struggle from the oppression of the man and his pain from life straight up out the streets. Verb conjugation and propper grammer are turning over in their respecive graves right now cause Fitty...yo he da best rapper since P Diddy busted some rhymes about nothin!!! I love tha pictures onthe inside cover of Fitty sportin' his new fly gumby gold. Tha man is a philosifer and a jeanyus...long live the cradle-rock style...BAAAAAAAAMMMMM!!!!

This is a different record for 50. It's more joints that you can dance and party to. It still has heat with "I Still Kill" etc. The only thing I don't like is the overall focus of the album. There isn't a theme or flow from track to track. It's like he just threw all good stuff in a pot...but just because you have fine ingredients...it doesn't mean they flow well together. The songs I could live without hearing is Amusement Park and Straight to the Bank.

this was a very good cd, 50 hooked up with a bunch of different people, people you wouldn't even expect. They all sounded really good together!!!!

the same way jayz cant top reasonable doubt is the same way 50 cant top get rich or die trying but overall the album is great with no songs to skip and i like kanye but he aint do it for me this album and his beats arent that great either go get curtisssss

I purchased both 50's and Kanye's CD on September 11, I haven't a chance to really listen to the CD; however the 1 track w/Mary J. I really like.
