By now, the hype surrounding the feud between Kanye West and Curtis James Jackson III, aka 50 Cent, is long over. The hip hop heavyweight’s third studio album, Curtis, features his trademark tales of celebrity and street life. Although Curtis may be unspectacular, the album is consistent with similar lyrics, beats and delivery for every song. The only difference is that some of the vocals are contributed by Justin Timberlake, Robin Thicke and Akon. 50 Cent has wisely teamed up with artists such as Dangerous LLC, Dre, Eminem and Timbaland to compensate for his lack of originality. Other guests such as Mary J. Blige, Tony Yayo and Young Buck also appear, although 50 Cent ensures nobody overshadows him on the album. Despite the big name guests stars and a few good tracks, most 50 Cent fans will consider this album a disappointment.
