The Massacre is the second studio album by American rapper 50 Cent, released March 3, 2005 on Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records in the United States. Its initially planned release was pushed five days ahead to avoid Internet leakage. The album debuted at number 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, selling over 1.14 million copies in its first week. Upon its release, The Massacre received generally positive reviews from most music critics. It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, losing to Kanye West's Late Registration at the 48th Grammy Awards.
The album sold 1.14 million copies in its first week of release, making it the sixth highest-selling album since SoundScan began tracking sales data in 1991. It is the third best opening week for any hip hop album in history, behind Eminem's The Marshall Mathers LP which sold over 1.79 million copies in its first week and The Eminem Show which sold 1.32 million copies for its first week.
Upon its release, the album received generally positive reviews from most music critics, based on an aggregate score of 66/100 from Metacritic. Vibe gave The Massacre a 3½ out of 5 disc rating and wrote "Full of finger-pointing panache, 50 delivers a taut, albeit less explosive, album aimed at both silencing his detractors and keeping the ladies satisfied". The Massacre was nominated at the 2006 Grammy Awards for Best Rap Album, but lost to Kanye West's Late Registration. It was ranked the tenth best album of the year by Rolling Stone.
