50 Cent — Curtis

in
By Pete Richards (CHARTattack) September 18, 2007 1:12 pm
50 Cent makes a sad face on the cover of his thoroughly hyped Curtis, but it's sort of hard to feel sorry for the guy anymore. Where he once told stories of his harsh childhood and some of his songs actually meant something, he now concentrates most of his lyrics on how much money he has, his guns and any other hip-hop cliche you can think of.

Music From And Inspired By Get Rich Or Die Tryin'

By Matt Semansky (CHARTattack) November 8, 2005 3:34 pm
It's been a prolific year for 50 Cent, with his sophomore album, The Massacre, his upcoming video game and this soundtrack to his personal 8 Mile. Money, guns and girls are still the only items on Fiddy's menu, but this soundtrack is a more streamlined and effective record than The Massacre, focusing more on the rapper's undeniable street cred...

50 Cent — The Massacre

in
By Matt Semansky (CHARTattack) March 11, 2005 2:50 pm
On the strength of a multi-platinum debut record, 50 Cent got rich and didn’t die trying and now the chiseled superstar isn’t looking to mess with the formula. The Massacre beats the usual gangsta tropes to death — Fiddy will kill you if you mess with him, Fiddy’s got lots of money and Fiddy can get any "bitch" he wants. He does deserve...

Jennifer Lopez has been hit with what's probably the stupidest lawsuit of all time by Claudia Vazquez, the girlfriend of J-Lo's ex-husband, Ojani Noa. Lopez is being sued for $10 million because she allegedly tried to get a film about Noa's life canned, which is interesting because I'll bet most people don't even know who he is in the first place...

50 Cent's drawn attention before for saying he thinks Kanye West is "tri-sexual" because of some of his fashion choices, saying you only saw "[those kinds of clothes on] gay people" last year. So it was only a matter of time before someone turned Fiddy's shtick around on him and threw the "gay" label his way. That...
