Before 50 got on everybody in my school was passing around his Mixtapes like candy. All these songs were always in circulation before Get Rich or Die Trying
Nope 50 was perfect the way he came out. Didn’t get too lyrical and told a story so perfectly without being complicated and was easy to listen to. A lot of guys can’t relax in their hungry days and trying to be as lyrical as they can
Rap won't get any better. This was peak times. 50, Em, Dre, Snoop, Cube, Xzibit, Outkast, Obie, Jay, Ye, DMX, BTH, Jadakiss, Biggie, Pac, Wu all got radio. There's so many more. Peak
3 years before. tracks that didnt fit on this one made it to guess whos back. thats why half of guess whos back is tracks before he got shot. @@radulaurentiu1307
It’s crazy bc 50 cents pre gunshot music wasn’t experimented enough it’s really good the gunshots changed him mentally and physically his music isn’t the same like this
@B1Chronixx of course but before he got shot he had such little music to work with to this day the only extended discography we know of is 24 shots, power of the dollar, and a little other stuff but not much else

What are you talkin about? This shit been released. I used to have this. Shit I herd of 50 from the "guess who's bacc" mixtape, that was in the f.y.e. store before he even signed to Shady. Few months later I'm chillin at my homies & the wangster video come on. I'm like yo I no that dude I got a cd from him. Shit was crayzie after he blew up the way he did.

It’s a shame 50 lost this quick flow after he got shot, he showed great skill with his delivery on this album this truly was his prime. You can definitely hear Jay-Z, Mase & Dmx’s influence in these tracks too, CLASSIC.
Wat you mean 50 getting shot and still rapping braught more pain to his lyrics you guys just want him to sound like jay z or dmx thats wack has there ever been a rapper no one disses on just cuz they dont like the new anymore?? Wake up oh nvm snoop made it and everything he made was fire lol
@@miguelchiquette1970 shut up dumbass. They were saying they hear an influence in it. Not that he has to sound like such. You simple minded niggas are SO WEIRD.
This was so raw when it hit the streets. 50 cent is the only one in hip hop history who was selling out concerts and big venues without an album. 50 cent was also making 5 dollars on every mixtape he sold, at the same time Get rich die trying came out. No one ever made 5 dollars on each unit sold. 50 cent, G-unit, shady records, and aftermath will forever be the biggest movement in Hip hop history. Salute Curtis Jackson aka 50 Cent. Support 100.
It’s crazy you can’t even find this on Apple Music, the last time I heard this album was on a physical mixtape and I seriously forgot how hard this shit was. 💯
It's not on ITunes and Co because it never was officially released. Maybe Columbia will it release on day or someone will buy the rights. I love to have a official released vinyl of this album
The Good die young is still my FAVORITE 50 cent song. I remember i first heard it on a snippet for this album. Didn't even hear the whole song at first, but knew it KNOCKED!
Omfg I remember downloading I’m a Hustler off Limewire or Kazaaa I can’t remember . I loved that song , played the shit out of it. Grew up on 50 . EM and Fif. 🐐the music I grew up on. Great memories .
@@Benjamin-199 I don't mean like that. The mixtape game helped him alot, but what I mean is the same a D Block. No commerical hits because he ran out of music. 50 was dropping 80 songs a month crzy
This where that sad old greed comes in, This mixtape is one of the main things why 50 had so much hype around his name. Lot of the street people still say this is his best ever works. Why he have to make bread off it. He was showcasing how talented and authentic he is. Lot of street people didnt even start to rap for money they just wanted to rap
@@shadychris3402 It wasn’t about greed it’s about long jeopardy like Jay Z. Artist 50 cent, Dipset, Tpain had a strong mix tape game and chase the bag so they careers as rap artist fell short. Not saying they not great artist it’s making life time music. They used everything they had in a 5 year run.
50 Cent is so damn underrated. Ppl always tryna talk shit sayin his catalogue ain't big enough to be considered as the GOAT n shit acting like dis man ain't got 2 DIAMOND albums and his mixtapes are legendary. He's definitely in the top 10 of all time AT LEAST ❗❗
50 invented that gangster rap blended with r and b he created a genre of his own. Man these old New York mixtapes , the raw beats and old school flows hit different. Thanks for posting
Was banging this album like most of everybody here when we were younger… times were hard then, and recently times have gotten hard as an adult, so I’ve come back to this for motivation! That 50 motivation… Thankyou 50!
@@zgsfreaky9102 I don't like him as a person but if he would have been shot, he would be known as the best. Pac and Biggie weren't all that and would have bombed in time.
They thought the gangster rap was a game and a means of making money until they paid with their lifes...50 knew the consequences of getting personal and calling names on tracks and still done what he wanted...goat gangster rapper for me 💪 Lyricism and hooks are up there with the best also lol
This should get as much praise as Reasonable doubt, this album, his first two albums w shady. And his mixtapes all classics man 50 don't get his just due w the bar work man
When Wanksta came out I was locked up and I heard it and I thought someone stole 50 Cent’s name because I couldn’t recognize his voice. I was used to this voice. Wanksta sounded hella south to me.
I bought The Massacre when I was 9-10 years old and the flow and this sound was my world as a young boy... he was a King and a Legend together with Eminem and I think they are forever Legends for me... :-)))
How was this dude held mostly in New York. His delivery is unapologeticly sicc & always smoothly layed down. Lyrics being structured flawless and hooks always relevant and catchy. Easy to comprehend. "According to the DA, I sold dope in VA My crew stay in New York but the plates say v-eight I can show you where I live, it ain't hard ta find me Let me get another brick, n another on consignment" Just filthy and flawless! Undergrounders have known for awhile and the mass Exodus of information wealth tends to involve many more to the poster board and Bible's study like lessons of what a superstar MC should be like in Eve way. Our last one was The Game. But whatever happens happens and he's nowhere near as thought of as budding superstar. Yet he's continuing some brilliant work in and of. He's still got one of my top 10 albums from 2000- now
Better late than never listening to those fif. After watching the documentary bout why u got shot I searched for the mixtapes to give a listen ear 👂. The message
thats cause it was his first album. produced by Tone and Poke. AKA TRACKMASTERS. Columbia shelved it though. but this was supposed to be his first album. 1999.
I don't know if this is one of the best rap albums of all time, but it's definitely one of the ones I play the most. I love this shit from top to bottom lmao
For an underground artist, getting bun b and destiny’s child on your album is actually a great achievement. Even further, they should’ve really released this album
@@australium7374 Early 50 truly just seemed like a student of hip-hop; I can see how UGK was interested. Yeah it's a shame I can't listen to this on Spotify even now.

Honestly the mainstream missed out on 50 when he was lyrically at his prime.
Before 50 got on everybody in my school was passing around his Mixtapes like candy. All these songs were always in circulation before Get Rich or Die Trying
Idk… as a White Kid in the early 2000s in Canada half the school was listening to “underground” 50. If it reached us thats pretty much mainstream…
Agreed
Nope 50 was perfect the way he came out. Didn’t get too lyrical and told a story so perfectly without being complicated and was easy to listen to. A lot of guys can’t relax in their hungry days and trying to be as lyrical as they can
Well, the album was never released

@@Benjamin-199 I don't mean like that. The mixtape game helped him alot, but what I mean is the same a D Block. No commerical hits because he ran out of music. 50 was dropping 80 songs a month crzy
Callate wey
This where that sad old greed comes in, This mixtape is one of the main things why 50 had so much hype around his name. Lot of the street people still say this is his best ever works. Why he have to make bread off it. He was showcasing how talented and authentic he is. Lot of street people didnt even start to rap for money they just wanted to rap
@@shadychris3402 It wasn’t about greed it’s about long jeopardy like Jay Z. Artist 50 cent, Dipset, Tpain had a strong mix tape game and chase the bag so they careers as rap artist fell short. Not saying they not great artist it’s making life time music. They used everything they had in a 5 year run.
I let this whole album play thru. Heard it bout 12 years ago .
To think 50 is where he’s at now, man was born a star
everyone is.
50 Cent is so damn underrated. Ppl always tryna talk shit sayin his catalogue ain't big enough to be considered as the GOAT n shit acting like dis man ain't got 2 DIAMOND albums and his mixtapes are legendary. He's definitely in the top 10 of all time AT LEAST ❗❗
Maaan what you talkin about he is top 3 for me, might be even at first place and than biggie
@@Kovalchuk8822 that's you feel, he's in my top 3 also, but alotta ppl overlook him
facts def in top 10.
Even those you considered top 3 love and respect 50. Is not easy to show it to 50 when your ego is big.
One of my favourite 50s , went crazy on this mixtape
Its a album bro not a mixtape. Just was never released
Like bro said it was a fully fledged album produced by trackmasters they did tons of shit for nas aswell in those years
50 invented that gangster rap blended with r and b he created a genre of his own. Man these old New York mixtapes , the raw beats and old school flows hit different. Thanks for posting
There were many before him which blended the 2
He was definitely one of the best at it but certainly not one of the first.
His voice is different to hear I guess it was before he got shot dope album man
50s recent Instagram photo of him and Nas brought me here
1162hunter lol same
U detective 🤣🤣🤣👍
Even 50 knew how to appreciate 25yrs of illmatic without saying anything. QGTM
Svpreme_carter add the IG
Queens legends
Yo my man 50 self explanatory ! Y’all chill with that negativity about 50. 50 is that dude kid!
Was banging this album like most of everybody here when we were younger… times were hard then, and recently times have gotten hard as an adult, so I’ve come back to this for motivation! That 50 motivation…
Thankyou 50!
50 the greatest to do it since PAC and BIG
Better than both.
Tydria Perry 😂😂😆🤣😆💀💀
WBA FAN LMFAO
@@zgsfreaky9102 I don't like him as a person but if he would have been shot, he would be known as the best. Pac and Biggie weren't all that and would have bombed in time.
They thought the gangster rap was a game and a means of making money until they paid with their lifes...50 knew the consequences of getting personal and calling names on tracks and still done what he wanted...goat gangster rapper for me 💪
Lyricism and hooks are up there with the best also lol
This should get as much praise as Reasonable doubt, this album, his first two albums w shady. And his mixtapes all classics man 50 don't get his just due w the bar work man
I remember bumping this like 14 years ago when I was in 6th grade. Time flies but still remains a classic
This came out 20 years ago lol
Neo X what does that have to do with anything? Cool thanks for the info
@@neox9369 it actually never came out so it’s weird you’d say that
@@YoungTooks this debut album was scheduled to be released in 2000 but it was cancelled after 50 got shot.
@@omgurheadsgoneexactly he said it never got released because Columbia decided to shelve it. Not sure when the bootlegs starting coming out though.
Most underrated album of all time
When Wanksta came out I was locked up and I heard it and I thought someone stole 50 Cent’s name because I couldn’t recognize his voice. I was used to this voice. Wanksta sounded hella south to me.
This album is on the top 3 best 50's albums
I bought The Massacre when I was 9-10 years old and the flow and this sound was my world as a young boy... he was a King and a Legend together with Eminem and I think they are forever Legends for me... :-)))
How was this dude held mostly in New York. His delivery is unapologeticly sicc & always smoothly layed down. Lyrics being structured flawless and hooks always relevant and catchy. Easy to comprehend.
"According to the DA, I sold dope in VA
My crew stay in New York but the plates say v-eight
I can show you where I live, it ain't hard ta find me
Let me get another brick, n another on consignment"
Just filthy and flawless!
Undergrounders have known for awhile and the mass Exodus of information wealth tends to involve many more to the poster board and Bible's study like lessons of what a superstar MC should be like in Eve way.
Our last one was The Game. But whatever happens happens and he's nowhere near as thought of as budding superstar. Yet he's continuing some brilliant work in and of. He's still got one of my top 10 albums from 2000- now
Erry 4 days in PA
I move another brick
According to the DA
I sold dope in VA
My coupe stay in queens
But the plates read VA
Just found this an absolute gem 🔥🔥
Better late than never listening to those fif. After watching the documentary bout why u got shot I searched for the mixtapes to give a listen ear 👂. The message
This shit ridiculous 🔥🔥🔥🙌🏻50 was on another level
This is probably the best mixtape I've ever heard. The production value is absurdly good.
album
thats cause it was his first album. produced by Tone and Poke. AKA TRACKMASTERS. Columbia shelved it though. but this was supposed to be his first album. 1999.
ah thanks, I didn't know that!@@AboveEmAllProduction
This is EXACTLY how i LOVE my HIP HOP!!!
Best 50 album!
Church, first time I heard it, I knew it was heat, makes me feel 25 again!
Makes me feel 15 ... shits fire
Power of the dollar,guess who’s back,Get rich or die tryin
Shoutout to the guy that posted the album on here salute my g from New Jersey
This and Guess Who's Back needs to be more accessible on streaming platforms
I don't know if this is one of the best rap albums of all time, but it's definitely one of the ones I play the most. I love this shit from top to bottom lmao
A classic. Def one of the best rap albums ever made.
If you put it in your player, never touch the skip button, and play it for days, it's a classic.
One of the best raw mixtapes no doubt cuz he couldn’t have even been older than 20-22 in this
I didn't even know this existed until I heard his audiobook. I'm glad I was able to find a chance to listen to it. Thanks!
Master piece, my favorite by 50
LOYALTY IS LIMITED.
A THIEF IS ONLY AFTER MY SALARY,
A LIAR IS AFTER MY REALITY.
REALIST SHIT I EVER HEARD LOVE U FIF
First dude to make mixtapes feel like whole albums. 50 cent really changed the game
It's a shelved album that was later released as a mixtape.
Tony Touch
Except it actually was a full studio album produced by trackmasters
Listening to this album years later and ik most the songs, shows u how big 50 was back then to hear all these on cds etc
One of the best albums ever hands down for mine.
For an underground artist, getting bun b and destiny’s child on your album is actually a great achievement. Even further, they should’ve really released this album
@@australium7374 Early 50 truly just seemed like a student of hip-hop; I can see how UGK was interested. Yeah it's a shame I can't listen to this on Spotify even now.
You all better keep an eye on this guy cuz he's gonna be the next big thing.
he knows how to make classic hooks
Still bumpin this joint in 2020.
still goin back to this goat mixtape and no one will ever touch 50 fkin untouchable
This shit is hot. Listened to it so many times, respect from Netherlands.
Best 50 cent album period . Ghetto Quran , You ain’t no gangsta , etc all flames 🔥🔥🔥
I bin about since 77 this is the best album ever made
Thank you for this fam. I’m very grateful of you.
THIS GOT JAY DNA ALL OVER IT, but the most versatile, lyrical, experimental 50 to date.
Yea, Jay low key was the inspiration to 50. But fif would never accept it
@@@arfenmalik1717 NAS DNA #FACKTZ JAY Z RAPPED LIKE A FU SHNICKAHZ TILL ILLMATIC POPED UP , JAY STOPED THAT FAST SHIT N CAME WIT A SLOWED NAS TYPE STYLE. DO UR RESERCH ITS THERE #FACTZ
@@seanchiefgall2364 nigga Nas got his shit from KGR what's your point? Get that dead shit outta here.
@@seanchiefgall2364 yea Jay bit Nas, big and wu
Goat
good taste in music my guy
Holy shit its danny duncan ahahah whats up dude
Respect ✊
Mink in cage
50 knows that virginity rocks
Man, can hear the Reasonable Doubt influence on this tape
2021 still sound better than most lol
Love "The good die young"
I love ghetto Quran, the good die young and thug love. Song has so many bangers.
THE MOST UNDERRATED ALBUM
It's not underrated.
I am not from New York but this is how I imagined NY life was like in the late 90´s
Man… this needs to officially come out.
Imagine if he put this as a bonus cd to Get rich 😮😮😮😮😮
NORE is the ultimate witness. He been in on all beginnings the last 30 years. Like all of them
