    My dad's first reaction to 00s hip-hop! I thought "Many Men" by 50 Cent would be a perfect introduction. This is one of my favourite 'classic' tracks of all time. It serves as a perfect representation of Curtis Jackson's ethos: which stems from the culmination of his rugged life prior to and to entering stardom.

    The best part is right before 50 dropped this album, Jay-Z (who had the whole rap scene around his finger at that time) told all his artists to just put out as much content and songs as they could because, and I quote, “50 is coming, and we’re gonna just have to wait this wave out”. Just showing how raw his talent was. The fact that the king at that time recognized that 50 would take over the game and no one would be able to compete.

And that lyric was his simple answer when we asked what happened his mom filled in the full story.

      50 has accomplished a great deal in various avenues, but musically I don’t think he’s ever executed anything as masterfully as he did with this album. He had a couple of bangers on other albums, and some singles(+featuring), but this album was absolute insanity. He had Em in his corner, who helped thrust this diamond in the ruff into the spotlight, but 50’s prints were all over the masters and his raw story and hunger were unmistakable. The bars were abundant and poeticism, rich. One of my all time favorite albums, for sure.

    "You'd think those two lifestyles: the life of an artist and the life of a tough street guy, wouldn't go together." This is the nature of what happens when poverty and municipal neglect become generational due to systemic issues that limit opportunity - you get geniuses who fall through the cracks of the system...and some who manage to grow up through them.

      Although I already knew this, and agree with this, one thing this comment made me think on is how much further we may be progressed if the world wasn't so terrible, not just when it comes to the US, but the entire world.
      How many Genius's have fallen through the cracks?
      Its a sad reality.

    I really like/admire the father, son relationship you guys have, very caring and authentic. It’s cool how the son is comfortable with sharing something that he really enjoys, and dad’s willing to listen with an open ear and mind. Come to find out, dad really likes this genre of music and has a pretty good understanding of the what’s being said.

    I was in the Navy when “Get Rich or Die Trying” dropped. “Many Men” was one of the best songs on the album. Now look at 50. He’s hilarious online, is an excellent businessman & a huge figure in Hip-Hop still, all these years later.

    I actually saw 50 Cent's Get RIch or Die Tryin tour live. Funny story, I was suffering from seizures at the time and had one after the last opener. I recovered and returned to the arena floor just as 50 was about to come on stage. When he performed this, thousands of people were chanting the chorus along, in unision. Me included. Glad I didn't miss the show.
