It straight blows my mind when I hear people say they never heard this album. I had this shit on repeat for a straight year; played the PS2 game, watched the shit out of the movie, wore the G-Unit kicks, etc. Not as big of a fan today and my tastes have expanded but the 50 movement was HUGE. Almost unavoidable whether you liked it or not.
I have never heard the whole album but that's because I was listening to Dead Prez, Talib, Madlib, Common, JMT, AOTP, Jurassic 5, RA, Method Man, Busta, Atmosphere, De La Soul, Dilated People's, Sean Price, Nas, Cormega, the list goes on. I like it but I'd rather finish their albums over 50.
If you didn't grow up in the hood, then its possible. Its like saying you never listened to Jeezy, TI, Luda, etc. Its unheard of. G-Unit had the biggest hood movement period.
One of the best debut albums in Hip Hop not just sonically but Sales wise. Now look where Fif is he is in the position where man has not one but many quality tv shows which he has made a theme song for. To add he is an entrepreneur and a marketing/trolling genius.
To me, there is no greater Hip-Hop album than 50 Cent's 'Get Rich or Die Tryin' the execution on this album is just perfection. From the placement of each track, to the production, to the simple features, to 50 Cent's unique sound and flow, to the album artwork, to the era it was released in, to the insane energy surrounding this album when it was released all the stars aligned perfectly for this album. I'm just happy I lived in this era to witness it all.

I've never listened to this album, only heard the hits. Holy crap it slaps so hard!! The production is ahead of its time. My favorite new find here is HEAT
It was an evolution of Dre. He took beats he was saving for his next album and gave them to 50. Sprinkle in some Em, 50 ascending and this is what you get.
If u don't know, eminem discovered 50 cent, he was eminems protege, and eminem produced alot of beat 50 cent used. 50 cent till this day defends eminem as the biggest rapper of all time, even tho himself is considered of the biggest too, the dude is an amazing person, him and eminem are a perfect duo
@@derrickwar Yea but Em actually have him a shot no record label wanted to touch 50 at all cause they saw him as a threat and were afraid of his involvement in the Streets but Em signed him to Shady Records✍🏽👊🏽🐐🐐🔥🎯💯
@@derrickwar then where was Jam Master Jay's paycheck for 50, where was Jam's production and input for his 9x platinum debut album. Shady pulled 50 out of the gutter and 50 will tell you that himself. Whether it was getting Dre to produce In Da Club, Danaun to produce P.I.M.P, Em and Luis producing on Many Men, Em's co-sign and legendary feature on patiently waiting either one of those is worth a million times more than anyone else ever did for 50. and that's with all due respect. rest in peace to Master Jay.
This album is timeless. I was 17 when this came out..it was literally my soundtrack to senior year and freshman year of college. Shit is an absolute classic..it was flawless. Oh btw..listen to the "Kannan Tapes"..he's still got it bro. FYI life's on the line is a murder inc diss track
Ja Rule never recovered from 50 for multiple reasons. From what I remember it was a combination of 50 Cent literally having one of the biggest debuts for a rapper ever, along with Ja Rule making the mistake of involving the entirety of aftermath including Eminem in the beef, along with higher ups in his label facing a federal investigation at the same time. So Ja couldn’t really focus on the need the he really had no chance of winning against the biggest rapper in the world and his entire label. Also considering how big Ja Rule was, 50 basically took his place because of how perfect the time and the place was. Also 50 Cent might be legit insane so there’s that.
I don't think there was ever a better rap debut album. Quite possibly the best produced hip-hop album and cohesive body of work. The marketing, writing, and production were flawless.
@@clspectre9055 GRODT didn't have every song on the radio, nor did it have almost every song on the radio. Plus, you can't judge an album based on commercial success. I love both records and probably spin GRODT more, but there's no arguing Illmatic is a more cohesive body of work with better mixing.
@@TheDealer1228 I respectfully disagree, but if anything, there are some source inconsistencies given that much of the album's songs were recorded before 50 even signed with Dre and Em.
Many Men is such a perfect song. One of my favorite hooks of all time, amazing verses, and fantastic beat. You can enjoy it on listens when you aren’t paying attention and you enjoy it even more when you pay attention to the lyrics. Fantastic song
I got so sick of In Da Club and it just was purely because I heard it million times every week everywhere. Firt couldn't listen to it for years but now like every here and there once twice a year, it is a crazy banger. The music video is kinda iconic when 50 raps upside down.
Wanksta definitely was repetitive, but it was an undeniable hit back in the day. Literally was everywhere. I remember really wanted the Wanksta doll from the video 😂. Great video as always tho!
Idk if you’re into that but YG and mozzy sampled that beat for their song Gangsta. It’s hard for me to say but I honestly think their version hits harder than fiftys
“Life’s on the line” was actually made in 1999 and was put on as his first album song, that’s song was his first song that blew him up and introduced his name in the rap game.
My favorite album and the best hip hop album undoubtedly, I bumped this album nearly everyday from middle school thru high school. Song for song no other album can touch it, in my opinion. All the stars in the universe were aligned for 50 at this time in his career, Teaming up with Em and Dre who were two of Hip hops Juggernauts and on top of the game just made his come up and this album that much more legendary! What a time in hip hop!
Don’t care what anyone says, this is the greatest rap album of all time on all levels. Hilarious to watch someone listen to it for the first time almost 20 years later, love this.
The tracks after Gotta Make It To Heaven are indeed bonustracks, tracks he made before this album. His ´Guess Who´s Back´ album/mixtape is what got him signed to Shady!
This album was my gateway into listening to rap all the time. I listened to some Eminem and more main stream radio rap but this put me on to G-Unit which put me onto the Game(1st Documentary is awesome) and now rap is basically all I listen too.
These numbers speak for themselves bro, this right here is the reason I love your channel! I support you doing all the other stuff but these classic reactions are the reason I've watched almost all of your video! Big ups man
A lot of these songs was recorded at different times so HEAT, Lifes on the line, Wanksta was recorded quite a time before stuff like Many Men, In Da Club etc. so thats why theres quite a difference
I remember I was in high school in Feb 2003 when this came out. In Da Club was the biggest song. We ditched school and drove to four different stores to buy the album because everywhere was sold out.
One of the best rap albums of all time easily, one of the best debut albums easily, and in my opinion possibly Dre's best album as an artist. The production and beats on this album are insane.
Little 50 Cent trivia: U not like me was originally on the GUESS WHO’s BACK mixtape that got him noticed by Eminem. The song on the tape was re-recorded and mastered for the album and put as a bonus along with Life’s on the line which was also an older song (prior to 50 getting shot) that was on his debut with Columbia that never got officially released POWER OF THE DOLLAR. you can notice the difference in his voice. After 50 got shot he was dropped by Columbia(Sony) Gotta do THE MASSACRE next. Lyrically 50 stepped up a few notches, the song writing was on an insane level. It’s a classic within itself BUT most people overlook it even tho it sold damn near the same amount as GRODT. If that album had some of the songs he gave to Game and a few of the songs from the GRODT movie soundtrack, Massacre would be way better than its predecessor. And it would arguably not even be close.
The Massacre was decent. He dropped off hard after massacre, IMO. But he literally was making music for radio hits and money after that. Get rich or Die Trying is a top 5 album for sure.
I know all these songs by heart, loved Fifty since I was a kid. Where I'm from it was a challenge to get to these songs and always went out of my way to find and treasure them.
I was 18 when this dropped. I distinctly remember listening to this (on CD - yes I’m that old) with my mates, when we all first started to drive in our clapped out ford fiestas. Soundtrack to my early adult life, along with College Drop Out, Pretty Toney specifically around 2003/04 and then some slightly earlier classics of Marshall Mathers LP, Water for chocolate, 2001, Quality Control, Warriors, Stankonia…….. list is endless for great hip hop
Bro, you gotta do some more certified classics like this one. Here's a few that you should do, you won't regret it: "TM101: Thug Motivation 101" -Young Jeezy "Urban Legend", "King", & "Trap Muzic" -T.I. "The Eminem Show" -Eminem "Rappa Turnt Singa" & "Epiphany" -T-Pain BONUS: React to T-pains performances without Autotune, (Tiny Desk, Buy you a drank collaboration Mashup, Masked Singer Sam Smith cover, ect.) I promise all of those would be excellent content for your channel. 🔥🔥🔥
In da club is his best record bro..that song is legendary..and bar by bar that shit is immaculate including the production..that’s some real gangsta shit
His Previous unreleaed debut album "Power of the Dollar" is even better than this album. 50 cent is insanely talented when making music when really wants to.
you sleeping on U Not Like Me that's song is top 3 on the album that bars, the rudenes and slickness is just beyond extraordinary. fkn luv that song deserves its own reaction to direct the bars.
This is the closest thing to a perfect album that I can think of. The only song that I do skip sometimes is Heat because all the gun sound effects can be a bit much, But man, 20 years later this is still a masterpiece
I remember buying this CD bootleg for $5 😬 from my bus driver when I was in 10th grade ..popped it in my Protable CD player that I had told hold so it won’t skip when the bus goes over the bumps on the road lmaoooo good ol days …
I'm telling you if you listen to guess who's back mixtape or power of the dollar you will really see how lyrical 50 Cent was before he signed with Eminem and before he got shot
Jon, I've been watching you for years from Rock React, though only for some videso, but when you put on the second pair of glasses during In Da Club after ragging on it, I had to sub.
One of the best hip hop albums after the gold mine which was the 90s. 50 cent and G Unit owned the early to mid 2000s during a time when mainstream hip hop was taking a huge downturn.
@@slimeballmk6656 G-unit essentially died after that. 50 still had some hits but he was also making the same tracks he was going after Ja for making lol. Don’t get me wrong Get Rich or Die trying is one of my top 5 albums ever. I’m just saying the Game murdered G-unit.
This is when people had real shit to say. The verses held weight and had intentions, that’s why the energy hits so hard. When this album dropped, I had it on repeat for ages. To this day, I don’t skip a track if it comes up on shuffle. The quality of the rap game is simply lacking these days.
one of the greatest albums of all time..easily my top 5 album of all time. I remmeber borroiwng the cd from my friend in grade 7 and listening to it on the stereo in my parents room. i was just lying there loving every record
Please more reactions to older Albums. And longer please! You could react to the other 50 Cent classics like The Massacre or Curtis. And maybe some older Eminem Albums would be great :=)
"He got hit like I got hit, but he aint fuckin breathin" gave me chills when I first heard it. Many Men top 50 best rap songs of all time
Still gives me chills, prime 50 Cent is top 5 of all time.
ong i still get chills
Top 15 wtf
Same
Eminem did some production work on that song. And produced Patiently Waiting, Dont Push Me, Poor Lil Rich and some others.
this record is the definition of "classic" & "timeless". best shit I've ever heard. also howling at his reaction to how HARD "Heat" is lmaooo.

"Urban Legend", "King", & "Trap Muzic" -T.I.
"The Eminem Show" -Eminem
"Rappa Turnt Singa" & "Epiphany" -T-Pain
BONUS: React to T-pains performances without Autotune, (Tiny Desk, Buy you a drank collaboration Mashup, Masked Singer Sam Smith cover, ect.)
I promise all of those would be excellent content for your channel. 🔥🔥🔥
This album has never left my car cd player since I got my license at 17 and I’m 31 now
Great Album & love your reactions
I grew up on this album on repeat
One of the best hip hop albums of all time no skips for me. You should react to The Massacre that is a classic as well.
In da club is his best record bro..that song is legendary..and bar by bar that shit is immaculate including the production..that’s some real gangsta shit
"Lifes on the Line" was from a mixtape that came out two years before this album, that's why the energy was complete different.
Still one of my favorites on the album
I’m 30 in March, 7 to 30 I’m 50 & the unit all day
Legendary Album. Legendary Reaction
Heat, If I Cant, Like My Style, & Life's On tlThe Line....untouchable grit and energy.
Absolutely a classic album 🔥 50 ran the world back then. Damn i miss that time.
Haven’t listened to this in a while. Forgot how great it is.
His Previous unreleaed debut album "Power of the Dollar" is even better than this album.
50 cent is insanely talented when making music when really wants to.
you sleeping on U Not Like Me that's song is top 3 on the album that bars, the rudenes and slickness is just beyond extraordinary. fkn luv that song deserves its own reaction to direct the bars.
Wanksta was actually his first single. That track was a street anthem and then In Da Club gave him more mainstream appeal.
This album is literally one of the best hip hop albums of all time
Edit: 50 ended Ja’s career. See Diverse Mentality’s video on the ja rule vs 50 beef
Every song on here is a banger that I always bump
As far as straight up hip hop goes this is the best debut album Iv ever heard
Power of the dollar was his debut. This is his third album..
@@AboveEmAllProduction it was canceled and unreleased cuz of what happened to 50, this is his first official album
@@ILLUSI_O_N-V1 still his first album. It still exists. Still recorded way before this one.
@@AboveEmAllProduction wtf is that logic?
@@splash8594 what is wrong with the logic? he recorded it in 1998-99. it was shelved. it came out later. so how is that still not his first album?
‘50 you need some help?’
‘Chill Yayo,, I got this’
Iconic.
This is the closest thing to a perfect album that I can think of. The only song that I do skip sometimes is Heat because all the gun sound effects can be a bit much, But man, 20 years later this is still a masterpiece
Get rich or die tryin is the best gangsta rap album ever made. Period
Incredible album start to finish, in a weird way it has aged so well, timeless.
I remember buying this CD bootleg for $5 😬 from my bus driver when I was in 10th grade ..popped it in my Protable CD player that I had told hold so it won’t skip when the bus goes over the bumps on the road lmaoooo good ol days …
I'm telling you if you listen to guess who's back mixtape or power of the dollar you will really see how lyrical 50 Cent was before he signed with Eminem and before he got shot
Jon!!! Bloodhound is the first song he had with Buck. It’s so good lol

Can't imagine not hearing this entire album until now..
I know and he's a music guy too
Jon, I've been watching you for years from Rock React, though only for some videso, but when you put on the second pair of glasses during In Da Club after ragging on it, I had to sub.
One of the best albums ever, if he would've cut 3-4 tracks it would be in the conversation for GOAT album
You missed out on a helluva time bruh💯 this album along with little jon🔥🔥🔥
One of the best hip hop albums after the gold mine which was the 90s. 50 cent and G Unit owned the early to mid 2000s during a time when mainstream hip hop was taking a huge downturn.
Really 2002-2007 till Kanye came
@@slimeballmk6656 I mean they dropped off after The Game dropped 100 bars and Runnin and ended their careers lol.
@@DontEvenTrip619 not fif he continued to make hit records
@@slimeballmk6656 G-unit essentially died after that. 50 still had some hits but he was also making the same tracks he was going after Ja for making lol. Don’t get me wrong Get Rich or Die trying is one of my top 5 albums ever. I’m just saying the Game murdered G-unit.
@@DontEvenTrip619 what records did he start singing in the rain with mary he never made fun of ja for singing he made fun of how he was singing
One of the greatest albums of all time imo
One of, if not THE greatest hip hop album of all time.
Favourite rap album of all time, from the 50 cent game, from the movie, from listening too grodt on cd
Life’s on the Line is still his best song imo
First 50 Cent song i heard was How to Rob. Didnt even know his name at the time lol
This is when people had real shit to say. The verses held weight and had intentions, that’s why the energy hits so hard. When this album dropped, I had it on repeat for ages. To this day, I don’t skip a track if it comes up on shuffle. The quality of the rap game is simply lacking these days.
one of the greatest albums of all time..easily my top 5 album of all time. I remmeber borroiwng the cd from my friend in grade 7 and listening to it on the stereo in my parents room. i was just lying there loving every record
Please more reactions to older Albums. And longer please! You could react to the other 50 Cent classics like The Massacre or Curtis. And maybe some older Eminem Albums would be great :=)
This album fucking bangs!!
Easily top 10 greatest hip hop albums ever, maybe all time
