Why the fuck is Curtis (the album) so slept on? Personally I enjoyed it more than the soft Massacre that (from what I remember) was marred by 50 not waiting on Dre for more beats and releasing the album anyway. Curtis has a lot of dope tracks, I'd say most of them are, in fact I was going to list the best ones but I realize I like all of them. Personal favorites are probably My Gun Go Off, Man Down, Straight to the Bank, I get Money, Ayo Technology, Curtis 187 and Touch the Sky. So the question remains, with all these dope tracks on the album, why are most people not feeling it? I personally prefer it over Before I Self-Destruct too, though I'll have to give that one another listen as I've not listened to it in years but I wasn't feeling it the first time I heard it. I'll have to come back to that though, might change my mind.
In fact, we should rate his major label studio albums. I'll go first (and this is personal preference):
1. Get Rich Or Die Tryin' (This shit can't be touched, ever)
2. Curtis (lot of hard tracks, a break from the ballads)
3. The Massacre (had some really catchy songs I'll admit)
4. Before I Self-Destruct (I didn't feel it at first but like I said I'll give it another listen)
