What Parents Need to Know
This review of Curtis was written by Kathi Kamen Goldmark
Parents need to know that this rapper's new offering is sexist, misogynist ("we gonna share the same bitch, I go first"), violent (gunshot sound effects and much, much, more), riddled with drug references ("I drop a bag off" at every opportunity), filled with product mentions -- but also tedious and unimaginative.
Families Can Talk About
Talk to your kids about the media in their life. We have more tools and tips that can help
- Families can talk about why so many rappers have to be shocking in order to gain attention. Could they get their point across as vividly with milder language? Aside from shock value, what do they accomplish artistically by pushing the envelope in this way? Families can also talk about what qualities make a CD exceptionally boring, despite obviously provocative content. Is it limited vocal range? A lot of thematic and lyrical repetition? What's your favorite song, by any artist? How could you "50-Cent" it up and make it really, really boring?

More on Curtis
What’s the Story?
Listening to 50 Cent's CURTIS, it's only natural to expect at least a line or two of soulful songwriting. Unfortunately, 17 tracks' worth of monotone posturing offers up loads of (very sexist) sex, drugs, and violent -- oh, wait, don't forget homophobic and racist -- party fun, but no poetry. Well, never mind. At least the guy can put a song across, right? Well, actually, he's got a pretty tedious take on that too.
Is It Any Good?
With a vocal range of about five notes and stunningly repetitive tracks, 50 Cent isn't exactly what you'd call a crooner. Lines like "we gonna share the same bitch, I go first" aren't likely to make this a hit with the ladies, and the many, many references to gun play (including visceral sound effects) won't go over at Grandma's house. Add four-letter words, racist language, and matter-of-fact references to drugs, and this starts looking like a really good one to skip.

- Excessive violence
- Inappropriate language
violent yes boring no
sure the album is violent but it's not boring this is why 50 is listen to 50 cent because he is amazing people say he sucks and that all he sings about violence sure the violence part is true just see my gun go off i'll stilll kill but when compared to eminem he's quite tame. so rap gets another great cd to keep fueling the insdustry and you get the satisfaction of a violent enjoyable rap cd

One of 50's best CD's yet. Good stuff, and if you appreciate rap music, and where 50 has been, you will love this CD!

Not His Best Work
I love 50. But honestly, it could have been better. Sorry 50, but Kanye did way better on his album. Very explicit. Some songs were good I will admit. But the album in all was just decent.

I LOVE THIS
i love this album. i love rap. i however do not think that kids my age should listen to stuff like this. im very mature for my age and love rap more than anything. but i dont think that a parent should not get this for their kid unless your kid is VERY mature.

Good Music But Not For Young Kids
This album has a few good songs, but is not as good as his new rival (kanye wests) new album. This album is best for kids ages 15 and up, it features language such as (Sh*t, Fu*k, damn,ass, bitch, hell, bastard). It also has sexual references and language (whore, ho, slut, along with innuendo). The N word is also used and there is alot of drug content.

...Horrible. Looks like, 50 Cent can only show off with such "lyrics". As for music-I could hardly listen to it. I simply threw this disc away. It's a complete waste of money...

I like it...
Although 50 cent's music is usually inappropriate, I simply love his music. I think that it's ok for people my age to listen to this because at 14 years of age you should know what is ok to do and what's not. His beat is awesome and some of his lyrics are acceptable!

My ears are bleading!!
Looks like "Fiddy" hasn't changed at all since his last CD. Still demeaning women, still cursing his mouth off, and still drug-obsessing! Maybe there is one or two good songs, but he just can't keep the curses behind his teeth. Believe me, it gets very uncomfortable listening to this with your mother. VERY!
