    Agreed…I guess he’s talking album sales? But you’re right Curtis definitely wasn’t the same level…though I enjoy all of 50s projects…they all have hits

    The Massacre is a classic the way it is. It's not as good as GRODT, but it's a great project. Curtis is where he went downhill :gotwtf:

    Cut a few tracks from The Massacre and add a few from the Get Rich movie soundtrack and you have another album on par with Power of the Dollar

    If you listen to the massacre directly after grodt it sounds less of a album. Listen to it on its own and it's a sure classic

    50 Cent has claimed that his second album The Massacre was originally intended to be very different to the version ultimately released. There’s a few gems that 50 cent claims he still has that wasn’t given to the Game.

    Speaking on stage at United Masters SelectCon, Fiddy revealed that The Massacre underwent a significant change after songs intended for the album were given to The Game.

    After “Hate It Or Love It” was played, he said: “That was material I prepared for my second album. My second album didn’t have anything sexual on it. The plan was for it to be balanced correctly. It didn’t have anything that was ‘soft’. It was more about imperfections.”

    50 then rapped the iconic opening bars from the track about his mum being a lesbian and continued: “It’s not the coolest thing to write about, it’s not the coolest thing to say from an artist’s perspective but I was trying to make that cool.”

    He added: “I ended up giving those things to Game to launch Game’s album. I gave him that, ‘How We Do’ – that record, I recorded it in California and the only reason why Game’s album came out is because I wouldn’t give them the song unless that was a single that they launched him with because Dre’s such a perfectionist that he would have sat there longer. He’d already spent a year in the studio with him.

    “I spent four days recording with him cause all I did was mute the things I had for the new record and I let him do ‘Special’ and ‘Church For Thugs’ and ‘Westside Story’. I already got Snoop to write his verse on the record before I gave those records to Game. Then s--- went left, man.”
