The Massacre - 50 Cent is a classic

[SpacelySprockets]

Nah.

Game and Dre did that song for a soundtrack but Game couldn't come up with a hook. Why would 50 have a song about the West Coast to give to Game?

It coulda just been about something else, but whatever u know better than I do considering u came up with the LIU meaning

They explained it in the making of the Documentary article from Complex, it's a good read

Lezbihonest if take care is a classic so is massacre Idk why it gets hate tbh

 

[JahFocus CS]

Gatman

Too much singing on that album. Not better than GRODT

 

[The God Poster]

I will say shyt is highly underrated, out of 22 songs...4 horrible songs with gatman being the worst

Not a classic tho...some dope music regardless. Alot of it stills sounds fresh.

Question for yall saying its not. Do yall conside get rich sound track a classic? Because to me along with above the rim are my top two sdtrks

 

[FiveShoTz]

i like it better than get rich

 

[Yakno1]

Replay value on this

album has lots of bangers but its not a classic or better than GRODT
got some filler songs/bad songs I skip, GRODT is an album I can still play without skipping one song

Get rich felt like the world stopped for a minute. It was more of an event than just an album. It was the arrival of 50. That being said, when the Massacre came out, 50 was managing his other platinum artists, was more adept at developing his brand, REALLY embraced his niche for beef and came out unscathed against hip-hop legends, had the billboard charts AND streets playin at least a few tracks off that shyt, he made a video for each track, which I think he might have done for GRODT but these were off a higher quality. The track "Ski Mask Way" was on repeat for 4 months when I first heard it, and let's be honest, "Hate It or Love It" was supposed to be on the Massacre and that is arguably a top 10 all time rap song

I always said this album was great and a near classic, only thing that stops it from being as good as GRODT was a couple of those lame ass singles and a couple of all round trash songs, which ain't bad considering the album was 22 songs long.

Replace Candy Shop and Just a Lil Bit with How We Do and Hate It or Love It, since they were originally meant for that album, now remove Gatman And Robin, Get in My Car and My Toy Soldier...all three are straight

Just imagine that fukking tracklist people

 

[HiiiPower]

Take away Gatman & Robin/Build You Up/So Amazing/Candy Shop and add in How We Do/Hate It Or Love It/Church For Thugs/Westside Story and were looking at 2 back to back classics

Basically near exactly what I said in my post...album would be fukking undeniable, although I'm sure 50 never had Westside Story? My bad if I'm wrong
