There are simpler ways to say you were born in 2007 man

Sorry, to complete the thought, that’s probably why I never gave the massacre a fair shot. Get rich hype literally swept through the school like holy s***, this is insane, this guy got shot 9 times etc etc.. even though it was only a few years later, massacre just couldn’t compare to that energy of his debut.. I can’t tell you why, it just wasn’t the same. Not saying that’s a valid reason to not check it out, it just felt like the moment had passed when living through it and then time keeps marching on.. Kanye happens, etc

I don't understand this take but I respect it

I get it. Also doesn't help that the "sophomore slump" narrative was pretty strong, with Jadakiss even making a pretty scathing diss track over this.

In my hood one of greatest intros of all time

My first CD i ever bought (and chicken and beer - ludacris). So many goat memories

Not really that much of a hot take tbh.

It was commonly said on rap forums and used as proof that Game didn't need G Unit.

I think Game sounded hungrier on DA and the songs/beats were great. My only issue is that he was biting Dre way too hard on many songs which took away from how organic it felt.

Also, Scream On Em is one of those "so bad it's good" type of songs with that Swizz beat.

Classics

incredible banger

Now back to the coward of the hour, who lied and said he write my songs
He told Vibe Dre was gonna leave me on the shelf
So he gave me all his hits, you should've kept them for yourself
Nigga stop acting tough before I stand over you
Show you how The Documentary live on top of The Massacre

My toy soldier

The Massacre was the beginning of his fall off

Sorry that s*** is not good

It was a great dope album but def not on GRODT level

Maybe if he deleted like 6 songs and replaced them with the s*** he gave Game it would've been tho

I think I prefer it to GRODT

i put that battery in his back!

bugged

Better album niggas getting filtered

you're right, I'm not ready for this conversation

This album is a mixed bag, some of 50’s best stuff but I can’t say it’s a classic.

In my hood
This is 50
I’m supposed to die tonight
Piggy bank (this is still fire people tweaking)
Outta control remix
Just a lil bit
Positions of power

Still fire. But just way too much filler and bad songs for a classic. He should not have given Game those hits, was a real mistake

It aged better

Terrible take massacre was a massive step down and began 50s nose dive into wanna be ll cool j ladies man singles that had him fall tf off
