Get Rich Or Die Tryin by 50 Cent
This Is Some Classic Sh8t
He’s been shot nine times. Incarcerated. And stabbed up and down. And
that’s only what’s happened on 50 Cent’s down time. Hands down, 50
Cent is the biggest buzz emcee since Eminem (who just happens to be his
label CEO), and Get Rich also features Dr. Dre on production, so it’s a
can’t-miss record, right? Well, mostly. Get Rich is not filled with midtempo,
radio-friendly numbers like Wanksta, his thinly veiled Ja Rule dis first heard
on the 8 Mile soundtrack. Instead, Cent brings the heat, not heater. He
sheds his inner thug on 21 Questions, featuring G-funk crooner Nate Dogg
showing some semblance of respect to the hotties, and then reverts right
back to his thug persona on In da Club, where he boasts I’m into having
sex, I ain’t into making love. There’s no How to Rob, Pt. 2 here, although
Many Men comes close, as he addresses some of the haters who may not
fully get why he’s now rap’s big cheese. Surprisingly, the two Eminem-
produced joints--Patiently Waiting (which thematically is very much like
Em’s Lose Yourself), and Don’t Push Me--almost rival the beats supplied
by Dre. Then again, it seems his most well-known cuts (High All the Time
and Wanksta, for example) are actually some of the weakest of the lot.
Sure, Get Rich could never have lived up to the hype, it’s nowhere near
Biggies Ready to Die or Nass Illmatic, but theres no fast-forward material
here, a near miracle in these times. --Dalton Higgins
This is by far one of my favorite modern rap/hip hop albums. Im talking
about 2000-to now, this was before 50 cent became a sellout and and
changed his flow. this album is perfect were do i begin, i will tell you this
album has great production and amazing hooks. There isnt a song that i
felt like skipping when listening to the album. I am not saying 50 cent isnt a
good rapper anymore it is just that it doesnt seem like he is trying too hard.
Anyway this is a amazing album that you can listen to it over and over and
never get tired of it. Lets hope Before I Self Destruct is as good as this
one.
