If Mr. Cent set out to create the aural equivalent of a Queens ghetto to accompany the movie’s actual hood, he has succeeded. The tedium is broken up periodically by some standout tracks. In “What If,” 50 captures some of the same desperation that he pulled off in his outstanding verse on the Game’s “Hate It Or Love...

Online registration eliminates the expense of paying for retired teachers and others to oversee the process; it also gets rid of the high cost of paying workers to stuff almost 10,000 envelopes, and saves those same people from the extreme tedium of such a task...
