 (103 Customer Reviews)
Curtis Jackson is New York hip-hop king 50 Cent's real name, so the title of his third album, CURTIS, implies that everybody's favorite gangsta is keeping it as real as possible. Considering how much 50 Cent's rep and raison d'etre revolve around his hoodlum background and take-no-prisoners approach, he surely does seem to be aiming for some kind of home truth here. The album kicks off with a brace of violent, in-your-face, thug-life scenarios ("My Gun Go Off," "Man Down," "I'll Still Kill"), as if 50 is underscoring his hardcore credentials for those who wonder whether fame has softened his attack.
Later on, with 50's street cred safely in place, he ventures a bit further afield. Collaborations with smoothies Justin Timberlake ("Ayo
Technology") and Robin Thicke ("Follow My Lead") add some melodic R&B flavor to CURTIS. And even the most unrelenting, gangsta-themed cuts here are matched with the inescapable trademark hooks that have made 50 Cent a mainstream phenomenon. CURTIS is ultimately a retrenchment, then, with 50 reminding the world that when it comes to hardcore plus hooks, he's the O.G..

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Keep rollin' 50, Cali holdin' it down foe ya
I have to say that 50's albums is some of the best music I have ever bought and heard of. Most other albums people buy for those 1 or 2 songs, but 50 cent, like 8 songs from every album belongs on the radio. You can listen to Curtis from start to finish without skippin' tracks. And I'm from Cali. but I know real music when I hear it, some of them others sound like they had someone write their music its not real, 50's is real he makes music have his own clothing line, shoes, movies,a video game, formula 50 water to much to list, I would rank him the best with 2-pac, keep them hits going 50.

| | Fabolous From Nothin' To Somethin' CD (2007)
Curtis CD music
$12.59  
Three years after his commercially successful 2004 release, REAL TALK, Brooklyn's own Fabolous returned with FROM NOTHIN' TO SOMETHIN' in 2007. On his fourth full-length, Fabolous continues with the same smooth player posturing, detailing the various ways he runs the streets in a breathy, effortless flow. At 16 tracks deep, FROM NOTHIN' TO SOMETHIN' shines on the production end thanks to a slew of air-tight beats from Timbaland, Jermaine Dupri, Just Blaze, Scott Storch, Swizz Beatz, and Reefa among others. Fabolous also benefits from a long list of guest R&B-hook-providers including Akon, T-Pain, Lloyd, Rihanna, and Ne-Yo as well as cameo verses from heavyweights Young Jeezy, Pusha T, Lil Mo, Swizz Beatz, Joe Budden, and Red Café. All that aside, though, the record's hottest cut might just be Fab's tribute to his borough, "Brooklyn," which features a verse from none other than the Jigga man himself, Jay-Z.

| | R Kelly Double Up CD (2007)
Curtis music CDs
$8.99 
R. Kelly's appealing, staggeringly successful take on hip-hop-infused contemporary R&B has been founded in no small part on his ability to make explicitly sexual subject matter sound as smooth and seductive as an old-school overture from Al Green. DOUBLE UP (2007), Kelly's eighth studio release, finds him taking ever more risque lyrical chances. While tunes like "Double Up" and "Get Dirty" find him in familiar lascivious territory, Kelly also turns to extended metaphors to detail his desire, invoking animals ("The Zoo"), electronic equipment ("Remote Control"), and cosmography ("Sex Planet").
Kelly's topics can seem absurd when examined objectively, but it's hard to argue when the tracks sound so good. The production glimmers with help from top industry wizards like Kanye West, Just Blaze, Swizz Beats, ...
| | T I T.I. vs. T.I.P. CD (2007)
Curtis songs
$10.09
It seems like T.I. hasn't gotten any rest since he hit it big with his sophomore release--2003's TRAP MUZIK. With an impressive array of LPs, mixtapes, countless guest spots, and enough industry legwork on his Grand Hustle label in the meantime, the self-proclaimed "King of the South" has been steadily putting in work.
With the follow-up to his multi-platinum smash, KING, T.I. carries a concept, pitting one persona against the other on the fittingly titled, T.I. VS. T.I.P. Speaking alternately as the rap industry mogul who moves millions and the street-corner hustler who just can't get the hood out of him, the ATL native is smart to slyly examine this duality on ...
| | Kanye West Graduation CD (2007)
Curtis album
$11.89
Given the remarkable critical and commercial success of 2005's LATE REGISTRATION, Kanye West's rich, rewarding sophomore release, expectations were high for 2007's GRADUATION. Ever savvy, West flouts those expectations by delivering a record that delivers curveballs while staying true to his sharply sculpted, commercially minded m.o. West's rapping, never his greatest strength, is still entertaining. He delivers witty, smart, sometimes absurd rhymes (he seems to take more lyrical chances on GRADUATION) that fit nicely with the overall feel of his tracks.
As usual, it's West's productions that stand out. While there are examples of his style-defining use of classic R&B samples and background choirs (as on the feel-good highlight "I Wonder"), West streamlines his sound to center on synth-driven lines, giving many of the tracks a retro-electro new wave feel. "Stronger," for example, another standout, is powered by a vocoder-drenched vocal sample courtesy of French dance superstars Daft Punk, which finds West again more comfortable in hip-hop's uncharted waters. The overall results make for a fun, inventive album that offers proof that West still has tricks up his sleeve.

| | Jay-Z American Gangster CD (2007)
Curtis CD music
$10.45
Following up his crossover-ridden return from retirement KINGDOM COME, Jay-Z presents a concept album, AMERICAN GANGSTER, inspired by the Ridley Scott movie of the same name. Contentwise, Jay is in his element, spinning street corner imagery and tales of the drug trade in the same spirit as the film, while, on the production end, 1970s R&B and soul samples dominate. The production team of Diddy, LV, and Sean C accounts for much of the record's cohesion, providing six beats built on loops from the likes of Marvin Gaye, Barry White, and Rudy Love & the Love Family.
Jigga finds plenty room to get jiggy on tracks like "Roc Boys (And the Winner Is)," "Party Life," and "I Know," a Neptunes-produced gem that sounds like a tricked-out "It Ain't Hard ...

Curtis CD music
$15.39
First, the mandatory disclaimer: This Cab Calloway review is not in any way, shape or form promoting or encouraging the use of marijuana. That said, marijuana is a subject that any serious musicologist -- whatever his/her feelings about the drug -- will have to address at some point because, quite frankly, it's a drug that a lot of great artists have written about. Six decades before Dr. Dre called his first solo album The Chronic and Cypress Hill rapped about rolling blunts -- and 40 years before Bob Marley and his fellow reggae Rastafarians were claiming that the use of "ganja" was a sacrament -- Cab Calloway was the king of Depression-era marijuana songs. During the Great Depression, Calloway was as much of a counterculture icon as Snoop Doggy Dogg is today -- and The Hi-De-Ho Man: 1930-1933 takes a rewarding look at the swing/classic jazz singer's early output. Not everything on this CD is about marijuana; actually, less than half of the disc's 21 tracks are drug-related. But humorous, goofy tales of marijuana or cocaine use are the subject of classic jazz/early swing grooves like "Minnie the Moocher" (the original 1931 version), "Reefer Man," "Minnie the Moocher's Wedding Day," and "Kickin' the Gong Around." And the zany Calloway is equally infectious on gems that have nothing to do with marijuana or any other drug, such as "Corinne Corinna," "St. James Infirmary," "I've Got the World on a String," and "Is That Religion" (a clever, humorous putdown of charlatans who use religion to exploit and take advantage of others). Anyone who is seeking an introduction to Calloway's early recordings can't go wrong with The Hi-De-Ho Man: 1930-1933. ~ Alex Henderson
