50 cent the Massacre

50 Cent spotted the rest of the music industry two days ... and he still crushed all comers. The beefy, beefing MC released his second album, The Massacre, on Thursday (everyone else stuck to the traditional Tuesday release date), but still managed to sell more than 1.1 million copies of the disc, scoring the biggest debut of 2005 and — almost as an afterthought — the top spot on next week's Billboard albums chart, according to SoundScan. But selling 1 million out of the gate wasn't Fiddy's only accomplishment. Last week, he made chart history, becoming the first solo artist ever to have three singles in Billboard's top five in the same week, with "Candy Shop" coming in at #1 and "Disco Inferno" taking the #5 slot; he also appears on the #4 song, "How We Do," from former G-Unit member the Game's album The Documentary.

There is no one else in the rap game right now, except Eminem, that can put out these kind of numbers. I dont think Jada's last album even made it to a Million and 50 does it in one week. Also having 3 of the top 5 singles that is just sick.

I'm more of a backpacker type listener, but I find the album pretty good.

Lyrically its not the greatest thing I ever heard but its not terrible, the production is top notch, none of the main hooks in any of the songs are corny sounding, I can't say the same for alot of other mainstream hiphop/rap albums.

Its nto gonna go on my all-time greatest list but its bumpable no doubt, and its gonna sell huge number of units.

Ya'll just a bunch of haters.

I take it you haven't heard either of his singles?

I have heard the whole thing, none of the hooks are as corny as a Jay-Z Annie or Oliver Twist hook.

They're still all mad corny. And why do you judge artists on their hooks if you're a backpacker?
