Today is the 20th anniversary of Get Rich or Die Tryin

[HipHopStan]

Underrated track:



50 is the only rapper that can make a song about something we know he doesn't do and it's still a banger. Good beat, good hook, and even had some good verses and one-liners sprinkled throughout the song.

There's no competition, it's just me
50 Cent, motherfukker, I'm hot on these streets
If David could go against Goliath with a stone
I could go at Nas and Jigga, both for the throne

 

[Deltron]

[Big Boss]

"This rap shyt is all fukked up now

album changed my life. I don't think I've experienced anything else that big musically. That album was literally everywhere. You heard it out of every car, at every party, anytime you went to get a cut. . I remember my dog got suspended for bumping that shyt when class was supposed to have started and called teach a wanksta


20 years already cot damn

 

[g-ice]

Classic without a shadow of a doubt. Good times when that shyt came out.

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

Not even a 50 fan like that but this is a great album and a moment in hip hop.

Albums don’t take over the world like this no more.

Bad Bunny just took over the world

Remember the day well. 16, sat in someone's car and smoking loads of joints. Picked it up on the way to college. Was a music course. We got the OK to just play the whole album for the class, only 8/9 people, into all sorts of music. Manu Chao, The Smiths, Oasis, Insprial Carpets, The Prodigy, all sorts. Most weren't in to it but still appreciated and respected it.

 

[GeeEffKay]

Truly a had to be there moment/time in hip hop. In Da Club was absolutely EVERYWHERE and the hype for the album was insane.

"Any living thing that cannot coexist with the kid must decease existing"

I still say this line to this very day

 

[Wise]

I find What Up Gangsta one of the best intros of all-time to a rap album
