50 Cent - They Burned Me
Artist: 50 Cent
Producer: RNO Productions
Album: Unreleased
Label: Shady/Aftermath/Interscope
The last time 50 Cent graced the Booth with a solo feature was back in January with the underwhelming Do You Think About Me. Since then the G-Unit leader has filmed a few movies (destined for straight-to-DVD release), promised his Twitter followers he won’t cut his hair until he wraps his next album, and publicly resurfaced at the Eminem/Jay-Z show at Yankee Stadium. Oh, and he also released a finalized (meaning mixed and mastered) version of the previously-leaked They Burned Me. Referred to around the web as a “street single,” a “buzz record,” and a “finished version of an unreleased song,” They Burned Me is a cross between vintage 50 and label-friendly 50. The production, courtesy of newcomers RNO Productions, is built around a soul sample, over which 50 performs some ill-advised crooning. You can tell Curtis is headed back to the streets, which is perfect for longtime fans who have been clamoring for a more jagged Jackson, but the end result is mixed. Though not attached to his forthcoming album at press time, expect to hear more material like They Burned Me in the weeks and months to come.

THis is a solid track thats definetly going in the Ipod. Its a little more personal and the listener is able to relate in one way or another.

While I'm not the biggest fan of his flow on here I really like the production. I read somewhere that he might expand his choice of producers for this next album, even collaborating with Kanye, which would be very interesting. If he takes an Eminem approach with this next album, it could turn out for the better.

Its respect rotation for me. I'm happy to hear 50 trying to put it down on the track, i feel the producton hinders his ability to truly make this into a certified banger. His flow needs a little improvement but i hope this is move in the right direction for him.
P.S Please stay away from club tracks 50! |

The more I listen to this song the more I like it, 50 has come back and proves that he can still rap with the best of them.

Just slightly more of a personal vibe than we're used to from the rap Terminator, but he also balances it nicely with some aggressiveness. 50 may have not originally intended for anyone to hear this, but now that it's out it shows some real growth as an emcee.

Antic-wise, 50 has been a gimmick for a while, and this is refreshing, if not totally believable. I think he is watching the more "heartfelt" flows of others, drake's done it, wayne's done it, of course Jay's done it, so.. now 50 has. I enjoyed the track, though personally I wouldn't put it in rotation.

classic 50, shady records need to get back on the map n stop playing around. im not feeling this wearing my lil sister jeans movement. rappers todday r way too soft n cuddly. good to see that some1 bringing that gutta sound back. also, cut all that singing on the hook crap out, leave the singing to the r&b boys like trey songz n neyo, u taking checks out their mouths lol. n i do believe alot of rapper now days owe ja rule and nelly sum royalyties for starting that style in the first place.

I have been a Fifty Fan since 'How to Rob' dropped. GRODT the album and the soundtrack were his two best albums IMO. He has had so ok songs, but he needs to rap and drop the commercial ish. The mixtape 'War Angel' was fire as well.
