I saw Fiddy live in 2019, and he was actually fun to watch. It does have a small handful of fun classics, but not enough to turn me into a fan. So, ultimately? I don’t need this record in my life.

Nate Dogg’s appearance on ’21 Questions’ is a great feature on the record. ‘High All The Time’ – who cares, dude? ‘P.I.M.P.’ is actually a fun song and other one that dominated music in 2003. The debut album that positioned 50 Cent as the next big thing. ‘Many Men (Wish Death)’ the third single was also played to death. 50 Cent: Get Rich Or Die Tryin (2LP) New.

My favourite part of that song, and probably the record is his impersonation of Snoop Dogg towards the end of the song. ‘What Up Gangsta’ is fun, ‘Patiently Waiting’ actually has great flow from both Fiddy and Eminem. The album has gone on to sell over 8 million copies in the US alone. This time I listened with a more open mind. The Aftermath: The Commercial Success Of Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ sold 872,000 copies in four days. It was released on February 4, 2003, by Aftermath Entertainment, under a joint. This is the first time I’ve listened to the record since hearing it so many times in the CD store (it would get shut down by management everytime). Get Rich or Die Tryin is the debut studio album of American rapper 50 Cent. The album sold 872k copies in the first week alone. No one would sign him, that is, no one other than Eminem. Fiddy had been blackballed by the music industry after having been dropped by Columbia Records after famously having been shot 9 times.
GET RICH OR DIE TRYIN ALBUM RECORDED FULL
“You can find me in the club, bottle full of bub/Look, mami, I got the X, if you into takin' drugs/I'm into havin' sex, I ain't into makin' love/So come give me a hug, if you into getting rubbed.” Poetry it is not. It’s not just that I heard it thousands of times in 2003 alone, it’s just stupid. It features his breakthrough hit, ‘In Da Club,’ a song that we would hear multiple times a night in da clubs. How big you’re wondering? The album would go on to sell 9x platinum in the States, 4x Platinum in the UK, 3x Platinum in Aus and so on. It was one of our biggest sellers, as well one of the most stolen albums of 2003. I had just started working at a CD store when this album came out.
