How We Do, Special, Higher, Church For Thugs, Westside Story, Hate It Or Love It, wouldn't have made the album any better imo.

Honestly, The Massacre should've been 50's best album with so much heat he was dropping leading up to it but he left alot of great songs off, gave songs away to Game that were crazy and went further commercial.

It's still a good album though... Position Of Power, Baltimore Love Thing, I'm supposed to Die Tonight are some of my favorite 50 songs.

I think it's 50's best work, in traditional album form

In My Hood
I'm Supposed to Die Tonight
This is 50
Baltimore Love Thing
Gunz Come Out
Ski Mask Way
Hate it Or Love It
Piggy Bank
Postion of Power
I Don't Need Em

are some of his best work, maybe not Piggy Bank, but the rest are solid to great production with 50 spitting as grimy as he ever did.

50 was out of control ego wise when this dropped, the cover, where he looks like man beast werewolf, and then XXL when he was holding a crossbow, just ridiculous.

'little bit' was such an annoying ass song.

even if it came on the radio TIL THIS DAY, I'm changing that shyt.

Piggy Bank and Position of power are the only dope song

Get Rich or Die trying movie soundtrack was better\
:unimpressed:

Make it 20 today!

Not his best album and didn't age the best but what a time to be alive that spring/summer:

-the hot 97/power 105 game 50 cent interactions
-the feeling of a big beef like Pac/biggie happening again with the shooting (obviously the conference ended that)
-Jada and D Block diss tracks
-Fat Joe diss track and VMAs
-Game 300 bars n runnin
- Outta control remix

It was a little bit of the beginning of the end for 50 as well

I’m supposed to die tonight
Position of power

Are perfect rap songs

I still have a CD stashed somewhere lol

It's alright but I remember a good chunk of the album was either borderline skippable or skippable for real like that candy shop and gatman garbage. Actually most of the singles from that album SUCKED. It was the non-singles that were dope.

It's crazy how Patiently Waiting was a great collab between 50 and Em on first album, and then gatman on this album was soo ridiculously bad.
