Background
| This section does not cite any sources. (March 2022) |
The original title for the album was revealed as The St. Valentine's Day Massacre (titled after the 1929 North Side, Chicago murder spree of its gang) and was arranged to be released on February 15, 2005.[2] However, it was postponed for the following month, and the album title was shortened to simply The Massacre, due to the release of The Game's The Documentary. Likewise, this was one of the few factors as to why a dispute between the two began.[3] Originally, a certainty of songs that were originally intended to be included on the album were later known to be "Hate It or Love It", "Higher", "How We Do", "Church for Thugs" and "Special", causing a majority of The Massacre to be reworked.[4] After 50 released Game from his G-Unit Records imprint on live radio February 21, 2005, a shootout occurred.[5] Paul Rosenberg of Shady and Jimmy Iovine of Interscope worried that the album would underperform due to the negativity of the Hot 97 shooting. 50 and the Game later truced six days after The Massacre was released,[6][7] but their animosity later reiterated after Game made fun of G-Unit at Hot 97's annual Summer Jam, where he first launched the G-Unot phrase, later turning to a boycott.[8] After the album was bootlegged, Interscope decided to announce the album's official March 3 release date after the second planned release date was March 7, 2005.[citation needed]
Censorship
The censored version of the album censors out most profanity, violence, and all drug content. The track "Gunz Come Out" has inconsistency in the editing, and contains some profanity. The opening intro removes the shooting sequence, and is cut down to 20 seconds. The album cover also removes guns in the background behind the rapper, being replaced by motifs and a gradient background.[9] In comparison, the album is not as heavily censored as his previous album Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2003).[10]
With a release in the middle of the sales week, The Massacre sold 1.15 million copies in its first four days of release, becoming the sixth-largest opening week for an album at the time since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991.[11] This is the second largest opening week for a hip hop album, behind Eminem's The Marshall Mathers LP (2000), which sold 1.76 million copies in its first week.[12] In February 2020, The Massacre was certified six times platinum for combined sales and album-equivalent units of at least six million copies in the United States.[13] It has sold over eleven million copies worldwide.[14][15]
In 2005, The Massacre was ranked as the number one album of the year on the Billboard 200.[16] Sustaining six weeks at number one on the weekly chart from March 19 to April 30, 2005,[citation needed] the album fell off after being ousted by Mariah Carey's The Emancipation of Mimi.[17]

The Massacre received generally positive reviews from music critics; it holds a score of 66 out of 100 at Metacritic.[18] Vibe magazine found it "full of finger-pointing panache" and wrote that "50 delivers a taut, albeit less explosive, album aimed at both silencing his detractors and keeping the ladies satisfied".[29] NME observed "a new depth to the murderous lyricism" from 50 Cent on the album.[24] Greg Tate, writing in The Village Voice, said that, like Tupac, 50 Cent is "a ruffian who knows the value of a good pop hook", and called The Massacre "the most diabolically sensous collection of baby-making gangsta music since Pac's All Eyez."[30] Kelefa Sanneh of The New York Times found the album to be "nearly as addictive as its predecessor" and called 50 Cent "a crafty songwriter, specializing in obvious but nearly irresistible tracks that sound better the more you hear them."[31] In his review for The Village Voice, Robert Christgau said that 50 Cent's "ugly gangsta lies" are "incidental to the mood of the piece, which is friendly, relaxed, good-humored, and in the groove."[28]
In a mixed review, Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club said that, although its strengths lie in 50 Cent's "dark charisma" and "fluid delivery", the album is marred by flaws typical of "big rap releases: At nearly 78 minutes, it's far too long, wildly uneven, and not particularly cohesive sonically or thematically."[32] Uncut magazine wrote that, despite 50 Cent's "cool menace", "not even tight productions from Eminem and Dre can stop things from flagging midway."[33] Lynne D. Johnson of Spin felt that it lacks "originality" and makes artistic concessions: "He's tryin' too hard to be everything to everybody."[27] In a negative review for The Guardian, Alexis Petridis panned him as a lyricist and felt that the album lacks "any of the factors that make the best gangsta rap disturbingly compelling ... There's nothing except a string of cliches so limited that repetition is unavoidable".[22]
Accolades
The Massacre was nominated at the 2006 Grammy Awards for Best Rap Album,[34] but lost to Kanye West's Late Registration.[35] It was ranked the twenty fifth best album of the year by Rolling Stone.[36]
According to 50 Cent, the album received more mixed reviews than its predecessor Get Rich Or Die Tryin' because he was focused more on the hooks and song structure: "People fought love for the things they see are significant. Jimmy Iovine was a producer … he loves the significance of production. He loves Dre. I don’t give a fuck what I made … look, I made my whole second album as a 10-record. I knew they wasn’t my best verses but my choruses were right so I focused on my song structure."[37]

Background
The album was re-released on September 6, 2005 as the Special edition. It included a remix of "Outta Control" featuring Mobb Deep, which replaces the original version of the song as track eight. This edition included a bonus DVD with music videos for a majority of the album's tracks (with the exclusion of "Disco Inferno", "Gunz Come Out" and the intro), and the trailer for the film Get Rich or Die Tryin', which released two months later. Due to the ongoing feud between 50 Cent and The Game, this version omits the G-Unit remix to "Hate It or Love It" as the twenty-second track. Once the special edition was released, The Massacre re-entered the top three of the Billboard 200 at number two, being blocked from number one by Kanye West's Late Registration.[98] The original version was also re-issued using the special edition track listing leaving out the parts for the DVD.

[ru] The Massacre
The Massacre (с англ. — «Резня») — второй студийный альбом американского рэпера 50 Cent, выпущенный 3 марта 2005 года на лейблах Shady Records и Aftermath Entertainment под дистрибуцией Interscope Records в США. Альбом был выпущен на 5 дней раньше до предполагаемой даты релиза из-за утечки в интернет. Дебютировал на первом месте в Billboard 200, продав около 1,55 млн копий в первую неделю[8]. После выхода альбом получил в целом положительные оценки от большинства музыкальных критиков. Номинировался на премию «Грэмми» как «Лучший рэп-альбом»[9], но в итоге на 48-й премии «Грэмми» проиграл альбому Канье Уэста Late Registration[10]. Также альбом был номинирован на премию American Music Awards 2005, где одержал победу в категории «Лучший рэп/хип-хоп-альбом»[11].
