Very Good Album From 50
50 Cent created a very good album with "Guess Who's Back?" which is a compilation of "underground classics & freestyles". It was released by Full Clip Records and it has some very good tracks. This album has songs from when 50 was still hungry and he can really spit on here. Then he released "Get Rich Or Die Trying" which is also an excellent album in which he still showed his hunger but had better beats. Unfortunately, with "The Massacre" he released very old material. He doesn't seem to have much to say anymore. It's all about guns and his ego. Still, it has some good songs. However, "Guess Who's Back?" has plenty of great songs.
1. Killa Tape Intro - Great intro track for the album. 50 comes out hungry and lays out some great rhymes over a nice beat. Basically, just introducing himself. "I walk around with a big fo-fo. You front on me I'm gone get at your dawg. I be at rite are your crib, right at your door." 9/10
2. Rotten Apple - Great song. Good beat with 50 flowing with the best on this track. "I'm on parole, I used to be on probation. I wave my gun I get full coporation." 10/10
3. Skit/Drop - Just a skit to start the next song. Pointless.
4. That's What's Up - Pretty good song and the only one featuring G-Unit (Banks and Yayo). An OK beat also. "They say 'God bless the child that could hold his own'. You pay cops to hold you down, I just hold the chrome." 7/10
5. U Not Like Me - Good song that's on "Get Rich" with 50 just rhyming about what people do that make them not like him. "I don't smile a lot, cause ain't nothin' pretty. Got a purple heart for war, and I ain't never left the City." 8/10
6. 50 Bars - Really great song with a dark beat and some great lyrics from 50 who sounds really raw and hungry on here. "Killed like 4 fiends, his popularity grew. That only meant more cream. First it was him and his brother now he got a team." 10/10
7. Life's On The Line - Another song that was on "Get Rich" that's pretty good. Decent beat and some good lyrics. He's just threatening anyone who wants to challenge him. "Beef, you don't want none. So don't start none. You just a small player in this game, play your part son." 8/10
8. Get Out The Club - Weak song. Just talking about girls. Nothing special. 5/10
9. Be A Gentleman - Very creative beat and some good lyrics. I really like this song. "I'm slick enough to twist your lines and send them back at you. Swift enough to snatch the mack and pop that at you." 9/10
10. F*** You - I heard this is the 1st song he made after he was shot and I can believe it with his anger and rawness on here. Hook samples Nas, Styles, and Big Pun and 50 just rips through this song. "Born a healthy baby, I wasn't always crazy. This ain't how moma rasied me, this how the hood made me." 9/10
11. Too Hot - Features Nas and Nature. Everyone lays out some good verses and there a decent beat so this is a pretty good song. "I got four macs, a few nines, I'm ready for beef. You wanna talk, it ain't about money, then let it be brief." 7/10
12. Who U Rep With - Also features Nas but this time with the Bravehearts. I don't particularily like this song but Nas is good so give it a listen. 6/10
13. Corner Bodega - Probably my favorite song but it's extremely short, TOO SHORT! 50 gets a good beat and rips through is 1st verse but then you realize that's the whole song. Still, it's a great song. "Bottom line is: man, I gotta cop and go. I got a spot and I can't afford to stop the flow." 10/10
14. Ghetto Qua ran - Great slow song by 50. Very good beat with some great lyrics. "Writin rhymes is the best way I express how I feel. If I ain't rich by twenty-six, I'll be dead or in jail." 10/10
15. As The World Turns - Pretty good song featuring UGK. Worth a listen. "Better understan what I'm sayin, I aint playin. I'll be in front of your crib, layin, wit the mack and start sprayin." 7/10
16. Whoo Kid Freestyle - Good 1:15 freestyle featuring Lloyd Banks.
17. Stretch Armstrong Freestyle - Good 1:19 freestyle.
18. Doo Wop Freestyle - Best freestyle with the best beat. 2:25 long.
