This is the Spider-Man 3 of 2007 summer music releases — the colossal album everyone else runs away from. In typical excess, Fitty's enlisted Dr. Dre, Eminem and Timbaland as producers and collected guest vocals from Eminem, Justin Timberlake, Mary J. Blige and Nicole Scherzinger from the Pussycat Dolls. Like all rap records, no review copies are available this far in advance, but first single Straight to the Bank is already ascending the rap charts and Fitty is as review-proof as he is bulletproof.
