50 Cent and Co.

Everyone knows that 50 Cent likes himself. However, in a radical move of humility, the legendary rapper actually allowed some other MCs to have at least some of the spotlight on the soundtrack to his new blockbuster, Get Rich or Die Trying. Unfortunately, the humility only goes so far, as most of those other rappers come from G-Unit, and the ones that don't have Fiddy as a guest singer. But it's still a big deal that he didn't make the whole album himself.

As for the tracks, they're pretty stereotypically G-Unit. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, about half of the tracks are pretty good, although most don't come from Fiddy himself. The subject matter pertains, obviously, to the life of the rap star, and ranges from the normal material - money, drugs and getting shot. Nine times. Once in the face. Standout tracks include M.O.P's "When Death Becomes You" and G-Unit's "I Don't Know Officer."

In the end, is the album good? No. Is it bad? No. It's stuck right in the limbo, as most albums are, of having the same number of good songs as mediocre songs. But considering all the bad music that's out there, fiddy (per)cent is actually pretty good.
