Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

I've been listening to BISD for the last few hours. I'm a huge 50 fan, but this album is very disappointing. It's like war angel pt 2, but not as good. stretch and get it hot are laughable and may be his worst two tracks ever. Psycho ft. eminem is the only stand out track that I hadn't heard before.

Im loving the album,my favorite songs are The Invitation,Then Days Went By,Strong Enough,Psycho,Hold Me Down,So Disrespectful,Death To My Enemies,Gangsta's Delight,Crime Wave,Do You Think About Me,and Stretch.

overall i would give it a 4/5

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

I like the direction he was going for, but it just sounds uninspired and recycled. 50's never been the most lyrical guy, but his wit and creativity is really lacking on this project.

Agreed. I love the album after 1 and a half listens. "Baby By Me" is also a bangin' Hip-Pop song with a great beat and hook by Ne-Yo. That one's going to be in my head for awhile.

I've listened to the new 50 about 3 times from 1-16 and its actually kinda hot. The only song I really don't like so far is the one with R.Kelly. I wish the rest of the songs on the album were like The Invitation though. That's been my favorite song so far. I like the sound he went for on all of the tracks. The beats are good and the lyrics are hit or miss on most of the songs. The thing I think is missing from making this CD great is that IMO it's lacking songs that really stand out. There is no "In Da Club" or anything that's really classic. Overall I think its a solid album. A lot better than Curtis.

Yeah. It seems like he actually put in effort this time.

Barely 4 tracks in and I'm already impressed. Death to my enemies and So disrespectful are ruthless.
