50 Cent - Curtis: Advanced Album Review

Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson is ready to release his new album "Curtis" on 9/11 on the G-Unit/Aftermath label and this is a sneak-peak review for all of you. 50 Cent said that if this album didn't sell as much as "rival" Kanye West's "Graduation" then he would quit rapping. From hearing both I say this will outsell Kanye's because that album is hot garbage, but so is this so who knows.

1. Intro - Just a quick intro with a "gangsta" theme. No music.

2. My Gun Go Off - 50 talking about how he'll hurt you and how his gun is so powerful. He sounds like Eminem on this track and the beat is produced by Dre. Though it is a mediocre track.

3. Man Down - Sounds hella lazy on this song. Sounds like he's got something in his mouth that's keeping him from rapping right. He's basically talking again about how he got shot and talking bout if anyone gets in his way they're going down. New school Eazy-E impersonations. He also defends himself against snitching allegations.

4. I'll Still Kill You F Akon - As you see with the theme of this album, he's talking again about the fact they he's not just a rapper but he really will kill you. I like the Akon hook though.

5. I Get Money - You've probably seen the video for this, I'll admit its a catchy song but I still think its below the level of "good". As the title says, he's bragging about all the hundreds of millions he's gotten, to the dismay of parents everywhere.

6. Come & Go - I like the low bass tones on this song. Produced by Dre, it sounds great but 50 Cent's lazy chorus "Bring em in, kick em out" leaves me gnarling my teeth. It's a song about relationships, God.

7. Ayo Technology - You probably have heard this before since the video leaked on the net a few months ago. Can you guess the rapper he's trying to sound like on this song? It features Justin Timberlake and is produced by Timbaland.. Straight Wanksta!

8. Follow My Lead - Sounds like an old school Dogg Pound track, reminiscent of Nate Dogg though he's not on the song, although instead of him, they put Robin Thicke on the track. It's for the ladies, not for me!
