Examining "The Massacre": 50 Cent's Tribute To His Own Invulnerability
The title is pretty self-explanatory BUT this week, we're revisiting one of the albums of the decade that dominated the charts even if it ultimately had very little artistic merit: 50 Cent's "The Massacre." We talk about 50 Cent's persona, each track on the album, white listeners' racial imaginations and their impact on commercial hip hop, Brendan's mom's connection to G-Unit, and the album's cultural relevance in 2005 and now.
You can find Fat Guy, Jacked Guy on Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok. You can find Stef on the web here and Brendan here.
