i thought about sharing my opinion to all y'all about how i felt with the songs in both albums....graduation may have won on album sales....but in my case the story aint necessarily the same.....
Curtis 1. Intro - I'm not really sure about what it meant....but I liked the atmosphere and emotion put into this...but what i most liked about it was the way it lead to "my gun go off".....excellent..... Rating: 5 for an intro 2. My Gun Go Off - Superb start to the album....the first song in every album should always be hard like this and straight to the point......50 shows good agressiveness in this....... Rating: 4/5 3. Man Down - Once again agressive and the synths are nice to go with it....flow was average though....but lyrically and its multies i actually thought it was pretty good...... Rating: 4/5 4. I'll Still Kill - The more I listened to this song....the more i grew into it....chorus is catchy and once again agressive....both 50 and akon show it....the piano is nice coming along with the harder instrument whatever u call it is.....flow was on top form Rating: 5/5 5. I Get Money - I shouldnt be saying anything for this....beat, flow, agressiveness all on top form....top club banger.... Rating: 5/5 6. Come & Go - I liked this song at first when I first heard it....however i seemed to gradually get bored of this espacially the beat....too repetitive for me....flow was still there and the chorus was nice....it would be aite if he added more instruments like what buck did in get buck...its good enough to not be a skipper though..... Rating: 3.5/5 7. Ayo Technology - Loved this song, marvelous beat with a marvelous flow....great club banger with Justin Timberlake and Timbaland doing a great part in the hook...fav song of the album..... Rating: 5/5 8. Follow My Lead - Eh....just like Come & Go i find it abit too repetitive....but its better due to what robin thicke adds....it aint good as 50's other girl songs but flow was nice and it had a great feeling as well Rating: 4/5 9. Movin' On Up - I dunno why everyone's dissing this song....I loved the drums and I loved how 50 stops in every line....its just not a 5 star flow though and it could have been longer.....the chorus was aite but couldve been better...... Rating: 3.5/5 10. Straight To The Bank - Good beat with good claps and very catchy lyrics....chorus was nice and the whole song had a good variety of instrumentals....once again good club banger.... Rating: 4.5/5 11. Amusement Park - Boring beat (although I thought it was a bit creative)...and boring flow during the verses with very simple lyrics.....however i thought the chorus was pretty nice......its a skipper for me at times.... Rating: 3/5 12. Fully Loaded Clip - Worst song for me on the album....it was just so boring i couldnt concentrate....skipper for sure..... Rating: 2/5 13. Peep Show - You cant compare this to Patiently Waiting or Gatman and Robbin since theyre all different....but it was still a classic though....catchy beat...catchy lyrics...catchy flow....and eminem prouduces an amazing part.... Rating: 5/5 14. Fire - Good beat....catchy flow and lyrics....buck produces a nice bridge and nicole scherzinger comes up with a strong chorus.....a bit too short from being a 5 though.... Rating: 4.5/5 15. All Of Me - Very emotional song for me with an emotional chorus....good lyrics and good beats.... Rating: 4.5/5 16. Curtis 187 - Just like Fullly Loaded Clip...u noe what it is.... Rating: 2.5/5 17. Touch The Sky - Good ending to the album with a good beat....nice chorus with catchiness of tony yayo who also puts out a good verse... Rating: 4/5 Overall, i thought Curtis was as good as The Massacre....not sure why it gets so much hate...in fact im not even sure why people say its better than Graduation!!! stupid as hell....not many skippers at all....its the following best album of 2007 with the exception of "The Cool" Rating: 9/10 now lets go to graduation.....i gotta say i didnt like the album so i dont feel like reviewing it as much as curtis....kanye west is seriously overrated for sure....most of his beats are horrible (no hate)....and his lyrics suck and are not catchy and are really simple....at least 50 has good flow and catchiness....but kanye doesnt have anything....i can rap 10 times better than kanye west...... anyways here we go..... Graduation 1. Good Morning - Corny intro with a boring beat....3/5 2. Champion - Repetitive....and boring with an annoying chorus...2/5 3. Stronger - Beat was a bit confusing really....but i guess its alrite...4/5 4. I Wonder - Stupid song with stupid lyrics and an incredibly stupid flow...1/5 5. Good Life - Its alrite....good chorus....but nothing else good to say bout it....average beat....3.5/5 6. Can't Tell Me Nothing - Beat is better....good chorus...4/5 7. Barry Bonds - Boring beat....Lil' Wayne spoils everything else...2/5 8. Drunk And Hot Girls - Kanye West cant sing for shit...1/5 9. Flasing Lights - Highlight of the album...why? Because the beat is actually good and the chorus and flow is nice...5/5 10. Everything I Am - Average song...just repetitive and didnt have any backup like follow my lead did...3/5 11. The Glory - Another boring song with better lyrics....3/5 12. Homecoming - Hate the chorus....corny song....2/5 13. Big Brother - The other highlight of this album....good concept....at least this album ends on a high....5/5 I don't seem to like Kanye West....i mean not only this...but his other 2 albums as well....but at least those 2 were better than this piece of shit....and it is absolutely obvious curtis was way better than this... Rating: 4/10 so.... Curtis Vs. Graduation? Winner - Curtis Heres another breakdown.... Curtis Best songs: I'll Still Kill, I Get Money, Ayo Technology, Peep Show, Fire Worst songs: Amusement Park, Fully Loaded Clip, Curtis 187 Graduation Best songs: Flashing Lights, Big Brother.....cant think of anything else.... Worst songs: Champion, I Wonder, Barry Bonds, Drunk And Hot Girls, Homecoming Good nights ppl....oh and let the hate begin.....

I agree with alot of the Curtis reviews except for Ayo Technology. To me that was there with Fully Loaded Clip.
Big Brother wasnt all that good of a song either. |

i dunno what u mean by adding up all the tracklists together to give the final rating of the album....but wtv....i aint dickriding 50....i might be hating on kanye though to tell the truth....i seldom like his songs and hes a horrible producer to me....not to say that his flow sucks and so does his lyrics....the only songs i liked from him are Flashing Lights, Big Brother, Hey Mama, and Jesus Walks....oh and the beat he produced in Dreams by The Game was also good....other than that plz tell me whats so good about him because hes just simply not my type of rapper.....and ur just saying curtis sucks without an explanation....at least i give an explanation to why i think theyre that way....i think curtis deserves a 9/10 not because of dickriding but because i simply enjoy the album....and i gave graduation a 4/10 because i think its sewage quality with only 2 good songs....
oh and btw....im releasing a mixtape called "Man With The Plan" this summer....ive set a release date of July 18th.....i think i can rap better than kanye west in my opinion because i just dont like him and i think hes overrated....as for the game lyrically i can rap better than him....his flows are great though so im not sure about that....but if ur the kinda person that fucks with street music then i guess the game can be a better rapper than me....the beats he raps on is probably better than mine as well....

All I have to say is Graduation got better reviews from 95% of the actual reviewers (Rolling Stone, AR, Pitchfork etc...) - being a 50 stan is what leads to reviews like this, Curtis was 50's worst album by a LONG way and it got killed by Graduation.

I would say Graduation, only because, curtis was not anything close to what 50 cent can actually do, think he slipped up with this album, whereas graduation wasnt any worse or any better than kanyes last two albums, but to be perfectly honest both albums arent the worst things to come out of hip hop

u have no proof how im a 50 stan....and theres a kanye pic in ur avy so u saying that would consider urself as a kanye dickrider....u have no explanation how graduation is better.....both lyrics suck ok true i agree.....but curtis is more playable than graduation.......and i explained clearly how curtis is better than graduation.....

^^ word to all of yall.....i understand if u dislike this album because of simple lyrics or repetitive content.....it just pisses me off when ppl hate on this album for no reason when its actually enjoyable!!! there are like no bad songs on this album except for amusement park....and fully loaded clip and curtis 187 were good songs "lyrically"....i just found the beat boring.....but calling this album wack is just hate.....
