Simply the best in the business. And yes, Hip-hop is a business. 50 Cent came from nothing, to crime, to prominence. He makes all the right connections with the media. He has the best producers. He has the best collection of talent. He knows how to utilize his roster. He shares the spotlight instead of overshadowing. There are two reasons why he isn't a perfect ten. The first was choosing a crappy developer for his video game. The other reason is that he tends to publisize release dates that aren't concrete. All of his G-Unit releases have had delays, which hurt album sales. Of course, I buy them anyway. I wear the clothes, the shoes, and the watch. Hopefulle there will be a cologne so I can wear that too!

This was a great soundtrack. The entire album followed the theme of the film. This will be compared to the "8 mile" soundtrack, but that album had no particular direction. Other than the Eminem songs, it was a showcase of Shady's roster. As expected, Tony Yayo was the worse track, but it is still solid. Once again, G-Unit bragged about how fast this album was recorded which I don't think they should. The best tracks were "Hustler's Ambition", "I Don't Know Officer", and "Best Friend" is a great track for the ladies.

This was definitely rushed material. 50 bragged about recording this album on the road, but that should have been a red flag right there. Most of these tracks have horrible beats. It does show the potential of Young Buck and Lloyd Banks. He tried to cross promote this with Jay-Z which helped a little. The tracks that stood out were "My Buddy", "Poppin Them Thangs" and "Beg for Mercy".

The timing may have been off. This is the excuse that Tony Yayo has released in magazine interviews. That and the fact that he dropped on the same day as Kanye West. These are just excuses for a lackluster album. I am a hardcore G-Unit fan and I will admit that this was the worse album of the camp thus far. Most of these tracks are alright. The tracks that stood out to me were "We Don't Give a F**k" and "I know you don't love me".These had someone else bailing him out.

This album was about 75% for me. I disliked him venturing outside the camp for guest spots. The beats for the guest spots weren't very good either. The good stuff outweighed the bad, but you still notice them. My favorite tracks were "Thou shall" and "Black Glove".
He should focus on his own strengths instead of relying on other Dirty South artists.
