    Great 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

    Awesome production accompanied with great rapping from 50. This is truly a classic album, with it being worthy of the massive hype.

    This 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

    Absolute classic bangers throughout in his prime when he was hungry and great production features also all kill it his best album.

    Some 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.

    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.
