Grodt soundtrack is def waaayyy better than this

Both have highs and lows with a lot of filler that could have been cut imo.

Interested to see what a compilation putting the best music from both would sound like

Same

Favorite song from the album

Too commercial?

Nah, I think he struck the perfect balance.

Granted, it’s not as rugged as GRODT, but it still has that edge to it

Not gonna lie there’s no lows on get rich or die trying to say it sound dated or whatever ? Cool but lows na

We talkin bout the soundtrack

Yeah I hated Candy Shop and Just A Lil Bit

Beats were fire, but I didn’t like 3 sexy girl singles in a row

Welcome To Cashville

Came out of left field considering the closest thing to that previously was 21 questions

Gatmaaaaaaaaaan!

Yeah compared to Patiently Waiting and Don’t Push Me, what TF were they thinking?

Nah can’t agree

The soundtrack definitely had some good songs, but overall, nah

Oh my fault yeah it gotta few track I can’t get with the first half is heat tho

Not sure if I'd call it a classic cause the initial reception was very polarizing.

But the album isn't quite the sophomore slump that rap nerds back then made it out to be.

The biggest issue with the album was The Documentary. 50 gave away some of his best songs to the Game.

Also, 50 was beefing with everybody at the time when Piggy Bank dropped so all eyes were on him. He was a peak supervillain who gave zero f***s.

But when 50 dropped Disco Inferno and Candy Shop as the lead singles, it gave tons of fodder to his rivals and haters. They said he was copying Ja Rule, selling out, and losing his edge.

The singles barring Outta Control Remix played a major role in many people writing off the album and claiming it's "way worse" than GRODT. Not saying the other singles were bad but they were a fall from grace compared to GRODT's singles.

But as a whole album, The Massacre is arguably 50's peak as a songwriter and versatile artist.

Songs like This Is 50, I'm Supposed To Die Tonight, In My Hood, Baltimore Love Thing, Position Of Power, God Gave Me Style, Ski Mask Way, and Ryder Music are all great deep cuts that many casuals overlooked. And I'd argue the deep cuts here are slightly stronger than GRODT's.

However, there are some duds too like Gatman, Toy Soldier, and the throwaway single attempts with Build You Up and So Amazing.

Overall, Massacre ain't GRODT. It's much more inconsistent and bloated. Also, 50 damn near trolled niggas by claiming every song had a music video but the videos turned out to be Smack DVD levels of cheap lol.

But it's still a solid album when you focus on all of the good songs on it.

Ironically, this album and Encore by Eminem damn near suffer from the exact same issue: Weak lead singles, bloated tracklist, and inconsistency despite having many gems on them. You can tell the Shady/Aftermath wave was coming to a halt by the end of 2005.

This was a decent album.

lol shut up

God Gave Me Style
Ryder Music
I’m Supposed To Die Tonight
Get In My Car
A Baltimore Love Thing
Just A Lil Bit
So Amazing

Pretty good album

Niggas screw they face up at me on some real s*** man they don't want beef

One of them hooks that they defo couldn’t get away doing now without getting clowned for how corny it is

Looks like a masterpiece next to peep show and psycho tho

Eminem and 50 collabs on 50s side only really hit on grodt

The album aged well IMO. I remember me and a lot of my friends being disappointed a tiny bit when it came out, but in retrospect that’s because we were still living off the GRODT high

Going back to the massacre later in life, I respect it so much more. Has a lot of really good songs on it

Shake dat azz girl

You mean Straight Outta Cashville? Or is there a Buck mixtape I'm forgetting?

saved up some allowance to buy this cd. it was stolen from my mom’s car like two weeks later lmao im still mad about that s***
