" Nobody gonna miss you anyway, no days off keep the pistol everyday!!"
Just an ironic quote from the song "No Days Off" that's in the CD. (Oh yea, my boy Ferrari F. 50 makes an appearance in that song too! Lol, so you know I'm lovin' it.) Anyway....
This CD starts off with an NWA kinda vibe with the track "Straight Outta SouthSide." It's like a re-introduction, and everybody gets off on this song. Yea, even Yayo, and this song really suits our yellin'-all-tha-time rapper. He gets off on the up-tempo military-minded beat. Since it's a compilation CD, I'll break the CD down by the rapper, and since I mentioned Yayo 1st, I'll roll with Yayo. Do you remember, back in the day, when we were jus hearin' Yayo on "I Smell Pussy." We thought he was pretty smooth, then we thought otherwise when he got out? Well, alil' bit of both shows itself in the CD. His presence helps him alot in these songs, not so much the lyrics, and bein' this is G-Unit, you know it's gonna be alotta murkin' in this CD. So Yayo gets off on songs like "Casualties of War" (I Mean REALLY, gets off) "Nigga who you tryna ride on, I'ma Icon, heart made of steel, balls made of iron." Don't sound like much readin' it I'm sure, but wait till you hear it 1st. Then it's those moments where he's doin' just enough to get by like in songs like "You So Tough," or the single "I Like The Way She Do It." But damn, who's gonna forget "I make a dolla every time my heart beats..." Jeeze mayne. And Its jus those songs where it's the Yayo where we wonder how in fucks name he's even not cut from the song. I mean.. It jus sounds weird when you start ya verse off wit "Who who who who who want it?! Who who who who who who want it?!" Like he did on the song T.O.S. But Overrall, Yayo did a good job as far as I'm concerend, one member didn't take down the quality of the CD. He even did a pretty nice job on a hook "Money Make the World Go Round."
Now, off to Mr. B-A-N-K-Dollasign $.... Well, what you want me to say? He came whack?! You must be stupid if you even thought about that thought! It's obvious he gets off the most on the CD. Slick lines all throughout the CD, n when he gets a chance at a hook, he doesn't slack up. No lazy Lloyd when he's on T.O.S. mode, and a few rap artists catch it with this, "Look how the game changed, it's bad for the system, niggas on game shows, two dudes kissin', listen, we're not the same, we're not for fame, the industry's punked out, we're not to blame."
Next would be the man we all know, love, hate, wanna kill, wanna steal cash from, wanna invest in his money, Curtis Jackson. Now after his big industry scuffle with Kanye, which he lost as far as in the US ( He actually had more sales outside the states,) whether Fif likes it or not, people are lookin at this CD like another 50 Cent CD. So the big question is, does the boss orchestrate a good CD, does he look crazy without the help of Young Buck? Well, if he had 100% control of production he did a pretty nice job, as far as subject matter, we couldn't expect more than what it was, a few club bangers, lotta kill-a-nigga songs, n some stuntin' kinda songs. Now on to the important shit, does 50 come through with in the verses? For the most part yes. I mean, what can I say but it's either good fif, bad fif, or Ferrari F 50. And Ferrari F 50 makes two appearances on the CD, and I don't give a fuck what anybody says, when Ferrari F makes an appearance the whole song is better. But 50 does throw out a few lines towards T.I. and he really asks a question that alot of us (includin' me,) were wonderin'. On The up-beat grimey soundin' song "You So Tough" Fif goes on to say "What's todays mathematics? Shit ain't addin' up, get knocked wit 10 machine guns, only get 12 months... I got the best money lawyers can buy, they say they woulda got me ten, maybe nine. How can you explain how homie breeze, you keep ya mouf shut, or ya eat the cheese!" Yea... You know 50 comes with occasional stingers like his opener on "Casualties Of War" he says "Now how did the chicken give birth to the rat, now how did the rat learn how to sing like a bird, his pops is an O.G., this is absured!!"
So to put it bluntly, 50 did a good job makin' a well roudned CD, with great production. Maybe if he woulda took out a few club songs, n talked 'bout somethin' original, or if he woulda dissed Buck or some shit, it woulda been a more eye poppin' album. But the CD shows how Banks flow keeps him ahead of the pack lyrically. (Unless it's Ferrari F.) Lol.
