    Rarely has rampant misogyny and self-hype sounded as fantastic as this.
  2. 50 Cent's star appeal and the other member's solid skills make Beg For Mercy a solid debut album.

    Amazingly, 50 and his crew are able to imbue such crassness with a sort of rough-and-tumble charm, winning you with their sheer boisterousness and the fun-house spirit of the music. [21 Nov 2003, p.84]
  4. Even though the cast spends an inordinate amount of time treading over the subjects Fiddy already hit with his own Get Rich or Die Tryin'--dope, guns and themselves--tracks like "Poppin' Them Thangs" and "Groupie Love" have just the right mix of humor and heat to make them stand on their own.
  5. Stronger than most star-fronted posse records.
