May 27, 2023some obvious fake 50 cent fans out there - dont recognise good music when they hear it
best album for 50 -
May 8, 2023Generally [a] great album;all song[s] maintain potent value;per se. 50 Cent is [a] preeminent artist in Hip-Hop/Rap genre;& popular media;as well;per se.
-
Feb 9, 2023Some of the best and most recognizable songs are featured in this album and I remember that if you didn't own the album, you would get ignored. That's how amazing it is. In Da Club, Many Men (Wish Death), Best Friend, P.I.M.P. and many more great tracks.
-
Nov 16, 2022Even in 2022, it still hits hard af. One of the best rap albums ever made, no doubt

Aug 7, 2021Awesome album. Contains some of the best hip hop songs of all time.
Best songs: In da Club, Many Men, Patiently Waiting, 21 Questions, P.I.M.P.
Worst songs: - -
May 3, 2021Absolute classic bangers throughout in his prime when he was hungry and great production features also all kill it his best album.
-
Jul 26, 2020This album is one of the greatest ever created, every single song is a hit.
-
Jul 16, 2020Great album, although he pretty much talks about the same stuff in almost every song, the production, the rhymes and the flow are amazing. Dre did an amazing job with this, and that Em feature on Patiently Waiting is probably one of his best. All in all really enjoyed this, sad that he completely fell off.
Favorite tracks: Patiently Waiting, High All The Time, Life's on the line -
Feb 23, 2020This may be one of the best debut album ever and i think it is deserved. The production is what stands the most in the album. 50`s voice was a bit off
-
Jan 28, 2020Awesome production accompanied with great rapping from 50. This is truly a classic album, with it being worthy of the massive hype.

Jan 21, 2018one of the best albums of the 21st century no truly bad songs and many favorites which switch each listen
-
Aug 6, 201750 Cent´s Get rich or die tryin´ is without a doubt an instant classic in the Hip Hop genre. Bought this as a child and still have the cd. A lot of classic tracks on here
-
Jul 21, 2017great album.............................................................................................................................................................
-
May 23, 2017Easily 50 Cent's best album. This album truly is great, Even had my young self rating 50 as my favorite rapper of all time. Definitely worth a listen.
Best songs: Many Men (Wish Death) / Patiently Waiting / Back Down -
Mar 8, 2016This album is perfect.Not a single bad track on this project.I remember hearing songs like In da club,PIMP,21 questions and so on in the kindergarten so I think that gives an answer how memorable this album is.This is in my opinion top 10 rap albums of all time.Production is incredible,50s flow on point and although this album isn't lyrical,50 gives enough wordplay you can ask.
-
Jan 6, 201650 is an average rapper but the dre and em production is on point and therefore there are a few bangers on the album but this is definitely not close to anything classic
-
Apr 22, 2015Arguably 50's best work, Get rich or die tryin' is a hip-hop classic you can't miss. 50 is passionate, aggressive and on fire when he spits his angry rhymes. Also having an extra sharp Dre and Em production and guest features from the G-Unit crew and Eminem, GODT proves that all of the songs on the album have their place. The 2003 NY gangsta and club sound will leave you craving for more.

Dec 18, 2014This is by far 50's best album ever. Classic rap at it's best!! Dope beats and heavy bass when you blast this in your car. I've been a huge fan of 50 cent ever since I was a teenager. Two specific tracks to listen to is high all the time and won't back down.
-
Oct 17, 2014This is one of the greatest albums in the history of hip-hop. You can listen the whole entire album without skipping a song. The production on this album is great and what 50 Cent tells his stories of being shot nine times and being a drug dealer in great detail. 50 Cent definitely lived up to the hype that surrounded this album.
-
Nov 17, 2013The music and lyrics are okay, but for me, the production is somewhat not quite there yet. I love hip hop and 50 Cent is definitely talented. It's just that the album as a set feels static for me, not as special as I expected it to be.
-
Jun 15, 2013The production in this album is a straight 10. while i believe 50's lyrics are half assed for most of the album, the production simply cannot me ignored.

Apr 9, 2011Along with Marshall Matters Lp, Blueprint, Eminem Show, College Dropout, This few albums were the only classic hip hop albums released in the 2000s. 50cent took the music industry with surprise with this album but bigger thanks to Eminem and Dr Dre, i believe anyone who rides with Em and Dre cant lose. Classic !!!!!
-
NickA.Mar 17, 2008C'mon man... This record is hot...

NeilL.Mar 8, 2008It is very rare that I put a disc into my player without skipping a single track.

MikeM.Jun 30, 2007This is the most solid cd i have heard, Very rarely do i put a cd in and actually listen to every song without having to skip one. One of my top 3 albums of all time. Look out for Detox, September 2007. Same time as 50's new album: Curtis

coreym.May 11, 200750 cent 1 what kind of names that two it the worst music ever der who the hell want to hear that shit fuck you

-
BrannonMApr 2, 2007He's not pac or big, but who cares. The beats on this album make it a classic, and he is a talented lyricist even if the gangsta themes are repetitive. Underrated artist, fuck haters.

TyroneApr 30, 2006One of the greatest albums I have ever listened to. 50 cent is a little bit of BIG,Tupac, and Big L which explains his confidence/cockness noticible in every verse he spits. This album is a definite classic.

MickeyBlueEyesAug 8, 200450 flipped the rap world upside down with this album,he has set himself a high standard to beat for his next album but with Em and Dre behind him,its best to just get outta his way,he's unstoppable!!
-
-
25CentJul 28, 2004I Think This CD Was Good.People Just say it isnt because they wanna hate.I dont dissagree that Lloyd Banks Is Nice But EVERYONE IN G UNIT IS NICE.
-
-
BHJul 19, 2004Yo, Get Rich or Die Tryin is a classic!!!! It goes harder then any debut albums from anyone. It is the hip-hop Thriller. Expect big things to come from 50. He will be one of the greatest rappers only to be surpassed by eminem. Dats wats up......G-Unit!!!

ryanvFeb 19, 2004this album has something for everyone, alot of songs on this album didnt get the credit they deserved becausethe popular one were on the radio 24/7, the harder songs like blood hound and back down are masterpeices in them selves, this album is a work of art about one mans struggle on the streets of new york, who rose to greatness, its the one of the alltime best albums

kcNov 7, 2003some day the world will wake up and realize that 50 cent isnt even rapping, HE IS TALKING PEOPLE!!50 cent is lyrically and vocally one of the worst rappers in the history of his genre. Even macho man randy savage's rap cd is better.

annasJul 3, 2003How many kids are going to listen to this garbage?Besides you don't want to buy it at all!!!
-
-
fitysientJun 26, 2003lack of any creativity, humor or anything. 50 cent has no more talent then the average rapper. You'll only be buying this if you want to be part of a trend. 50 cent is hottest steam piece of shit. I give it a 1 because it was not worth my money, then i sold it for 9 bucks on ebay. At least I wasn't the only person who bought into the hype, so i only lost 5 bucks.
-
-
AdamGJun 7, 2003I'll give it a ten because of the song "21 Questions."
-
-
jacimJun 4, 2003this cd is the best cd i have ever listened to (this and eminem) he is also SOOO sexy, who ever doesn't like this cd is a fag and doesn't deserve to live. GGG G-UNIT!

stretchstretchMay 14, 200350 is tha hottest nigga to eva rap
-
-
ronronMay 5, 2003There will be a rapper who has the skills of Tupac and Biggie combined but I think that 50cent will never measure of to them because their too deep and they can rap good, my opinion. Ja rule compared to him is a better rapper.

Awards & Rankings
-
Unless you are the president of the NRA or addicted to Cops-type tales, 50 Cent's debut is strictly small change.
-
More sonically adventurous than its mainstream look suggests.
-
Only intermittently justifies the buzz surrounding the rapper's career.
