HOW WELL DID THE RE-RELEASE OF THE MASSACRE DO??
- Thread starter Justin
- Start date
UNKUT I DIDNT MEAN IF THERES ONLY 5 TRACKS ON AN ALBUM THEN I CONSIDER IT GOOD ENOUGH, I MEANT I DONT LIKE TO MUCH MAINSTREAM SHIT AND ESPECIALLY NOW A DAYS THERES NOT MANY BEATS I BE LIKING ON THESE NEWER SOUNDING ALBUMS, I REALLY ONLY LIKE HARDCORE AND MOBBED OUT BEATS THATS WHY I SAY THE BEATS I DID LIKE ON 50'S ALBUM WERE DOPE.
I think its a dumb idea anyhow to make a video for every song in the album. The videos are gonna be low budget because there are 18-20 videos to make. I think that's why i doubt there will be anymore artists biting off that style. I think fifty sold that 150,000 from re-release because of the outta control remix. I hear that shit on the radio twice an hour and its always on mtv.
I can’t believe there are actually people on the siccness.net who listen to 50 cent. Seriously his music is for 12 year old white kids in the suburbs. His lyrics suck ass, the topics are played the fuck out and he is not original!
For the record Esham’s been in the game since he was 13. First rapper to have a double disk CD, first rapper to have a video for each track, his style is ACID RAP, NOT Horrorcore. He didn’t bite ICP, it’s the other way around. ICP admits that Esham is their biggest influence. Kid Rock also admits this as well as Eminem. Esham will never sell as many records as 50 cent, but music should never be judged by the number of record sales! If that’s the case the Backstreet boys should be considered as significant as Beethoven.

Do you read what you are posting?
You make no sense.
Look-
50's last joint, "Get Rich" was dropped in 2003; its now 6x Platinum.
Note the year and 6x Platinum.
50's new album(March 2005), "Massacre" was certified quadruple Platinum in little more than a month.
Note March 2005 and 4x Platinum.
One more time, 4x Platinum in ONE MONTH!!!
At that rate, his new album will surpass his old album.
And your saying 50's new album that's been out for 7 months/4x Platinum, is a flop compared to his 2003/6x Platinum album.
Really, your comparison/statement makes no got damn sense mannnn.
Nothin personal, you cool peeps, I've seen you post more intelligent statements.
NOTE: I don't give a damn what 50 sales.
False statements contribute to unnecessary and preventable bullshit.

he might of been a dope underground rapper but looked what he evolved into...his target audience isnt the same now as it was when he was underground...i know if one of my favorite underground artists that was known for deep lyrics and a good positive message blew up and made albums for clubs,women and ppl under the age of 18 i wouldnt be feelin him,no matter my loyalties to him before.cause i am none of those things. thats why i'm not feeling most mainstream artists,i can listen to an album immediatly see who its targeted to,and 9/10 times i wont be part of that audience.im not a young impressionable person that is satisfied with the bullshit that they talk about
i think thats the point that sixx was trying to make is that grown men in their 20's are listening to music that is targeted to 14 year old white girls in the burbs...so its hard to imagine that a mature person wouldnt be able to see past that. not saying thats is wrong,or you shouldnt do it,if you get something out it then more power to you. but just dont get offended when sixx says things like that,cause sometimes its more than an opinion on a certain artist,its a perception of the ppl that would actually listen to it.
im sure you will take all this way to seriously,but im just trying to spark some convo,hopefully everybody wont do the usual siccness thing and get butt hurt and start over-using the word hater

people act like if someone did something FIRST, then no can do it EVER AGAIN ?!?!?! i don't care who did it first or what, if i like it i like it, and majority of people copy each other, something they heard said, copy people's music........that's life !!!!! if someone bites someone else, and they do it tighter, then they tighter.........
I type it, you read it.
Last i heard his "first album" sold 8 not 6. First album at this stage still had legs, current album doesn't. The sales started to lag, beef didn't hype it enough, album wasn't as "well rounded" as the first, and wanted to help increase awarness of tony yayo's crap fest album = reissue.
Anyone that wanted his album would have got it by now. The re-issue is like putting out a special edition DVD it's just to get people's money for the second time. There are people on here that would buy a Mac Dre, Brotha Lynch, who ever album two times just because it's got two different covers. There are more lil 50 fans that would do that to get to see 20 videos and still get the album again.
If this album was doing so well why not re-issue the last album instead? This gets the re-issue cuz it's lagging
