Congrats on the Milly bruh 👊🏾
50 and G-Unit got the best stories/history
Yea especially when they got kilt by Game. That part was funny af
@dli7423 you delusional 😂😂
@dli7423 lmao revisionist history. If game killed them then why did he beg to reunite for years? That bipolar clown even released a lame diss to Em and Em didn't even acknowledge it 🤣🤣🤣
Why it's Low.. In sound
@@TransKidsMafiagame has never “kilt” anyone
Man if you weren’t around to experience this vibe when 50 was coming out… you do NOT understand how big this album was. You cannot compare anyone to how big 50 was coming out
Facts he had the whole world 🌎 knocking
Fact
Treu story i was in gail and look mtv awards it was grazy #vivian fox🥰👊🏽
Big Facts
🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🏾my first 💿
this run will never be duplicated. you had be there to understand how crazy the 50 cent era was. the last true gangster rapper.
As big 50 Cent fan I would like to thank you for putting so much effort into creating an incredible documentary. Even 50 Cent would be proud of this work, THANK YOU! 🙏🏼
50 cent made me realize I can do anything in life as long I put the work in and dedicate to my craft if I wasn’t for 50 I wouldn’t be the person who I am
This documentary sucks. Do one about how Ja Rule beat up 50 Cent in Atlanta!
@@BlackFaithProduction hell naw the documentary was great while you hating and that’s cap they jump 50 when he punch him and even ja rule said he had his baseball with him so he couldn’t fuck with one on one
@@BlackFaithProductionStop hating on 50 cent He is way better Rapper than Ja Rule
@@BlackFaithProductionJa hasnt done shit since like 05 and stay getting clowned. Sorry for your loss.
The thing that I appreciate most about Quake is his approach. He doesn’t come across like a Vlad or an DJ Adademiks. He gives you the feel that he truly appreciates Hip Hop and the people he has reported upon. He has an excellent way of doing videos and I hopes he continues to improve. This documentary was truly impressive and the scope of it is absolutely amazing. I had to watch it multiple times because it’s so impressive.
Slurp,slurp,slurp!!!!!

The 50 Cent wave is something I was honored to see. GRODT is a soundtrack to his life. Gritty and witty. Charismatic. Like Quake said half man half machine who never backed down from anyone or anything up to this very day. 50 has earned his success.
I was 13 in 2003
Living in New York City when “Get Rich Or Die Trying Came Out and 50 Already had a Buzz in New York in 2002 from appearing in Eminem 8-Mile Soundtrack and also the mixtapes and all street activity in the mid to late 90’s early 00’s so when this hit the streets in 2003 overnight everyone was wearing G-Unit Sneakers 👟 , T-Shirts , Hats , I remember my dad stopping at the light we was playing “In Da Club” and the car behind had Wanksta , the car in front 21 questions and the car next many man and I swear on my kids life I wouldn’t lie or cap for likes you had to be there to truly understand the impact this album I was living in the heart of New York in Manhattan Baruch Projects close to where True Life were from which was Smith Projects near China town and seaport,
I got Chills when this man said this album change his life because that’s exactly how I feel about this album I just remember walking around with my radio and big huge batteries 🔋 it needed having 50 Cent GRODT playing from beginning to end without the need to skip a song because u couldn’t Skip a single track I’m so happy I got to see this happen if u didn’t and think us old heads in our 30’s now are exaggerating
Trust me we are NOT
This man ran hip hop from 2003-2007
50 Cent was a menace
But he bankrupted himself

You need an update 😂 like an iPhone 6 😂😅
@@bostonceltics2691same bro I was 13 that album changed everything
Lol That comment...!! Really? How embarrassing... where u at now, mate? Far..so far... as far away from your shame as much as possible . Lmaoll @TransKidsMafia
Get rich, or Die tryin is the best hip hop Album ever dropped since 2003. Nobody does it better than 50
College dropout and the documentary is also right up there
@@Andy-bf8oshell no.
Imma say it again 50 did all this before social media, now imagine the 50cent wave during the Social Media Era. Think about everything he accomplished but x5. His music, Features, clothes, games, drinks, list goes on.
Dawg.. from one superfan to another, thank you for this. Growing up on 50 was truly a once in a lifetime experience. The influence that Fif has had at every corner of the globe is crazy to this day. Shout out Quake🫡
Can’t wait for the Massacre 20 year documentary cause that is probably as fascinating as GRODT cause by that point, Fif was so big that the industry was trying to tear him down. Getting insights on the making of that album would be crazy, from the label leaking the album to the change of concept to giving away records to Game to the explosive beefs with everyone from Jada to Fat Joe and G-UNIT growing as a label, I need to see that.

No you don't need it you need to read the bible and receive the holy Spirit all through Jesus i am begging 😭🙏 you to do that it's good for us instead of gehenna fire.

lmao, even

Automatic Gunfire tape is timeless
Cap,cap,cap,cap,cap,cap!!
This Documentary was just 10/10.
Shout out to Sha Money and all of the other producers. GRODT is one of my top 10 albums of all time. I put it on the same level as
Thriller and Bad from Michael Jackson. Listen to it 4-6 times a year. So glad to see it receive the respect/appreciation it deserves.
Crazy that places to go, was originally made for this album, that song is hella dope, although I do think putting it on the 8 mile soundtrack was the right decision
I just don't think it would fit on grodt vibe wise
But it really highlights how much effort was put into the album, crazy
Sha money sucked
@@gtt8428he could have put magic stick on there , in da hood ft Brooklyn. Both were fire songs and both would have fit the CD imo. Maybe not on da hood but Magic stick was so fire.
@@gtt8428ur right though cuz places 2 go was perfect 4 the 8 mile soundtrack. That created a crazy buzz especially with Wanksta. After that everybody was waiting 4 his album once the date was released.

Bro I just wanna thank you for taking me back to my high school days I’m 37 yrs old now I was a junior in high school (17) when GRODT came out and instantly 50 became my favorite rapper of all time and still is. I’m from Chicago and I’m definitely going to his final lap tour! So keep going bro you did a phenomenal job with this Doc and your beef series is fire as well 🔥👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💪🏾💯
Same age brother. This is pure nostalgia and was amazing to watch and take me back to my youth. Respect from Leeds to Chicago 👊
Dude, this documentary is at another level!!!!!!
Here was the first place I saw the real story of 50 and Ja beef and all that and now you deliver this... man, this is priceless. Thank you.
The work you have put in here is just monumental. This is up there with Trap Lore Ross's King Von video. As for 50 I was 12 when Get Rich or Die Tryin came out and the hype was real and the album lived up to it. I remember I spent 2002 downloading the Mixtapes off limewire risking my Dad's PC just to hear 50 and G-Unit.

Sin is negative Jesus is positive yet i know many don't want him instead they want Jesus and Satan but you can only have 1 that's how God is. I know there's many unfortunate things happening to people each with their specific situation and some situations worse than others. it's sad and I'm scared for the many because of the fire but, there's nothing i can do but live for Jesus and do good for my fellow man.
This documentary was wicked! And the people behind the whole process of making this classic album seem all so humble! I don’t care what anybody says GRODT is one of the greatest rap albums of all time if not the greatest! 🔥🔥🔥
Legend has it... 50cent somewhere watching this and smiling... as he does at the accuracy👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you so much for dropping the documentary! It completely destroys the narrative that if was just Em and Dre. Most people who dont understand music has this narrative. There were plenty of other people who put their blood sweat and tears into making this MASTERPIECE of an album. Thank your for highlighting that. Obsolutely incredible!!
Only one thing I can say Quake, wow... I can see why you got emotional watching this back.. The Massacre got the 'the making of' video, Curtis and Before I Self Destruct were mentioned in others but of all the albums 50 made, this was absolutely the one that deserved this type of documentary. I said it on twitter and this has just convinced me of it even more, The Massacre might have sold more than GRODT first week, but it is, was and always will be THE biggest and best album in 50's discography. The sheer impact that it had on so many people, yourself included, along with the culture itself has meant that even 20 years later it is still getting talked about and recognised like it first came out, and documentaries like this done on it. For your efforts on this Quake, thank you. I said on Twitter that like all your other content, I am not expecting you to disappoint and you most certainly did not. If Netflix were going to put anything of yours on their platform, this should be it. You have absolutely done justice to the legacy of this masterpiece of an album, and I actually hope this reaches 50's radar and he does an interview with you from it. I certainly hope he doesn't have a problem with it or anything, because this needs to stay up and reach a lot of people. Bravo my friend, bravo.
Well said and great comment.
I never get tired of watching another 50 doc/story.. Learned a lot from that man growing up ✊🏽
I remember being 12 years old and going to buy this CD. I got home and put it in my little crappy CD player and listened to to whole album front to back. The album was so good I sat and listened to the whole album 3 times front to back.
Yea thank Dr,Dre!!!!!
I’m a huge 50 cent fan and this doc is amazing! You really captured my exact feelings! 50 cent is the greatest.
🔥 This documentary is elite level work! Congratulations on premiering this work to the public.
This is big!
Congratulations on being able to put this together.
Get Rich or Die Tryin' is easily one of the greatest albums ever created.
How the F did he not win a Grammy for this Album
The Grammy's ain't shit. Eminem exposed them & talked about 50 not getting a Grammy
He was not beating that outkast album that year.
Yea the album of the year 1 is up in the air but In da Club is the biggest single in modern history and was not even nominated for Song of The Year. He lost best new artist to Evanescence. Lol
@@skill14 and they first album went diamond. So it was valid.
@@RODPOD302 but Get Rich was the highest selling album of 2003 when the Award was 🤷♂️
One of the most powerful ,influential and respectful documentaries I've ever watched .
Well done justice has been served without a doubt quality.
Respect and thank you .
Your love for hip hop really shows with everything you put out
This was a tremendously well done documentary. I’ve been a fan of 50 since 99 since I heard Rowdy Rowdy on the radio during a DJ’s mix show, ironically I also heard JA Rule’s Holla Holla during the same mix show. From the mixtapes to now I’ve followed 50’s career very closely and his music was the soundtrack to so much of my late teens to early twenties. During the good, bad and ugly experiences of those times. Get Rich Or Die Trying was more than an album it was 50’s crowning achievement as a new artist and those of us who followed and supported know him know how much this meant and still means. So many people played so pivotal roles in that album and to see them highlighted is tremendous as well. Much love and respect to Quake for this awesome documentary and continue to keep up the good work my brother.
Rowdy Rowdy was 🔥🔥🔥 That was the first Fifty song I heard. Most people know Fifty from Get Rich or Die Tryin'.
Congratulations on completing this! The effort that was put into this 🔥🔥
This is probably your best documentary yet! A lot of heart went into it and it shows 🙏50 is such an interesting artist
I had to share this on Twitter...
This doc deserves waaayyy more views...
This was PERFECTION, sir...
💯
This definitely deserves to be the 1st of many documentaries of classic albums. U did ya MF thing cuzzo!!! S/O to u. Good work!
Congratulations Quake. Wow! What a beautiful body of work. Worthy of getting extensive coverage from the Netflix & Paramount of this world. As a creative myself who comes from South Africa, I am so inspired on how you incorporated Hip Hop at navigating the business world. Thank you bro. It's content like this that I still remain a staunch subscriber of your work. Hats off to you.
You went above AND BEYOND for this one quake. I was not expecting this much work with interviews and all. Props once again bro.
50 Cent and G Unit mixtapes were better than most artists studio album.
When this album did 870k that first week and then did ANOTHER 800k that second week- MAN! That shit was crazy. And the album had everything u needed. They all knocked it out of the park.
Quake this is a movie bro. Must have been both fun and a lot of hard work to put together. Brilliant documentary...respect to you and your team for delivering a classic
46:39 man props to you!! I still remember where I was when THIS DROPPED!!! I was driving there Austin TEXAS on 6th street and ON GAWD!!! EVERY CAR was playing the album. On the freeway. JAMMED PACKED! And everyone was outside yelling and singing. I NEVER seen anything like it! I’m a OLD head lol. Born in ‘79, so I REALLY WAS IN MY MATURATIONAL stage! THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK ON THIS 🙌🏾💪🏾✊🏾
Glad to hear Banks get the recognition for writing In Da Club hook. Amazing documentary
Didn't write it. 50 took it
@@royaltypoetry1533😂😂
I love this documentary family! I was in middle school when this album dropped and the hype was real! Especially in NY where I grew up. You’re definitely a fif fan and did your homework. As a documentary this is super official to the point it’s better than those Netflix ones. Please keep making more award winning content and viewers like me will stay dedicated and support you bro☮️🙌🏾🎉🎊
Love your dedication, Happy 20th Anniversary of “Get Rich or Die Tryin” Masterpiece
This doc is fire! Honestly it's inspiring how you keep producing quality content. Looking forward to see more.
50 was and still is the greatest villain in the history of hip-hop.
Not a villain, he’s a mentor to alota young people willing to listen n looking for that path. Wether he knows it or not.
No suge knight is the biggest villain in the history of hip hop.
Refreshing to see and hear stories being told by the unheard. Great job Quake!! 🔥🔥🔥
Well worth the wait diverse mentality never disappoints this is best get rich or die tryin documentary ever made
50's story will forever remain legendary in the hip hop books, the man came & conquered.🎯
Outstanding effort. Excellently put together. This must taken months to put complete. Keep up the great content and greetings from the UK 🇬🇧.
This was beautiful and informative. Thank you for creating and putting it out.
We as fans need the official GRODT instrumentals. I've been waiting since 2003 for this to drop.
Na quake, to see your evolution, it’s amazing. I been a fan since you had like 10k subscribers 🔥🔥🔥🔥
straight up

This just proves that 50cent was a real gangster before he started rapping.
Bro,,,,, most actually are, snoop, 2pac, Luda, Outkast, 3six mafia they all rolled in the streets and came up from there. There are way more rappers out there that actually were thugs and used the funds made from crime to become a rapper happens more than you seem to realize
@@marc2638 Man said Tupac. Do you even know Tupac before the fame?.. he wasn’t in the streets. He was a backup dancer for digital underground . All of the dudes u mentioned never beef with real street gangsters/drug lords . 50cent the only rapper did that. 50cent was a gangster turned rapper. Get your facts right.
@@marc26382pac went to art school bruh😂
Lmao this guy said Tupac 😂😂😂😂….
Bruh this should have millions of views. This is an amazing documentary with lots of stories that I hadn't heard before. Admittedly I'm not Fifth's biggest fan, but when that album dropped it was a moment you couldn't deny. That shit spread all way out to UK even before GRODT dropped. If you had Limewire, you know what I'm talking about. Monumental.
This documentary was definitely worth the wait! Loved it!💯
Rap is full of good guys, 50 cent is the villain, one of the realest bars that came out of 50’s mouth
Thank you for covering from beginning to the end of one of my top 5 Albums of all time for me. Came out when i was in the 4th grade. Know i was too young to listen, but still didn't care thanks to my uncle buy the album bump it in his car driving around and was amazed from the jump. Specially the Songs If I Can't, Many Man, 21 Questions, Patiently Waiting, Don't Push Me repeat all day. No skip songs on this album. And thank for everyone who contributed this once in lifetime Classic. And specially Thank You 50 Cent. Specially for get through hard times, motivations, gym workouts as well. overcome adversity to now successful overcome the odds. Once again Thank You.
I got a challenge for everyone…get GRODT up alongside watching this documentary.
When the individual tracks are being spoken about, play the track being referred!
You feel it on a whole other level!!
Amazing documentary!! 👏🏿👏🏿
@Diverse Mentality stays putting out fire content for us to enjoy! Shoutout to the boys for keeping it real! Let's gooo 👍🏻🇦🇱
🇦🇱👐🏼🇽🇰 Quake definitely killed this
@@Drivenmentality3What kinda car is that in the documentary video?
I was 12-13 during the Tupac and Biggie era of Hip Hop and remember how polarizing that period was, even though I was still a bit too young to FULLY understand. But I was 18 starting my 1st year of college during the 50 Cent/G-Unit era of Hip Hop and remember THIS TIME, being 1 of the best in my generation. The Jay Z and Nas era was coo too, but it’s something about this one; something about 50, that gives me chills and memories of times that will never be forgotten or replaced.
Brilliant Documentary! The internet needed this .
Knowing the way 50 is i bet he gonna give you some interview or send Yayo for this channel to give yall some love.... mad respect to yall
!!!!
For an unofficial doc, this is amazing. This is quality work. Very informative. Big up 50.
An exceptional piece of work you put together! and big respect for shining a light on the OG producers that don't normally get credit as they should. Hope you can continue making more like this, positive side of hiphop
I was literally a 12 year old white boy from a small town in Kentucky before the internet and social media was prevalent at all, MySpace wasn’t even poppin quite yet, and I was aware of 50 cent’s arrival and the complete backstory, and was greatly anticipating GRODT. That should tell you how huge this was. There has never been a single album as big as this release since it came out. When he signed with Shady/ Aftermath the buzz went nuclear. It was insane.
This was a GREAT DOCUMENTARY
Bro that’s a 10000/10 documentary!!!! 50 and G-Unit changed our lives literally for ever !
Maybe sometime you can make something similar for the other G-Unit members or for G-Unit as crew 💯
Great documentary man ive been patiently waiting for this. Job well done
this is sooo good dude! I love that you got perspectives from the relatively “unknown” parties who were involved. All time great work!
This documentation was executed perfectly. A pleasure to watch.
Cant wait to see 50 again in concert this year! 🔥
50 Cent was the last gangsta rapper…. He had the flow the image….. and the street credit to back it up
WE NEED THAT OG VERSION OF BACK DOWN. That shit must have been worse then How to Rob if Dre said no to it.
THANK- YOU DIVERSE MENTALITY, JAH BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE AND MANY OTHERS TO DELIVER AUTHENTCITY SO WELL! ONE LOVE❤!
5 Star Documentary. Well done, man. 💯🔥
Really enjoyed this documentary it really shows how he came up and what steps he had to take to debut this album like I said on Twitter Goated documentary🔥🔥🔥
Bro, been with you from the jump. Congrats and as always you crushed it!! Love this man, keep killing it.
I remember in 2003 when I bought GRODT.. I played it non stop in my Walkman, every day and every second I would play this album.. I was 15 at that time. I remember when I accidentally dropped my walkman and my CD broke I freaked out and walked an hour and a half to Target in my city just to buy another copy
Worth the wait good break down was not expecting this breakdown of the whole album song by song
We don’t be getting this type of videos when it comes to our favorite albums keep this type of content coming
This was so so good. Thank you for putting the effort into making this. The influence from 50 to work hard to make something good has clearly paid off. I would love to see more documentaries like this! Maybe one about Beg For Mercy or The Massacre!
Thanks alot for the documentary & hard work behind it putting this together🙌🏿
It brought back alot memories as a kid.
He most def influenced me growing up in Africa just like those kids in brazil i was wearing clothes just like him...hat,walk,talk,laugh & all🔥
I’m going to watch this tonight while I struggle to fall asleep on this London heat
That album didn’t leave my CD player for 6 months. Every track had something about it that I enjoyed. Unreal album, the In Da Club video when he was on the ceiling was just so creative. With Dre. And ‘Em in the lab coats, just dope!!
1:08:57 Kim Osorio who slept with 50 Cent in 2003 and is a former editor of The Source magazine, talks about when 50 Cent played her the original version of Back Down, in her 2008 book Straight From The Source
This is what she wrote in her book: When we got back into the rented SUV,50 popped in a CD and started adjusting the knobs on the car stereo. "I want you to hear something." Then, with his baseball cap cocked to the side covering his doorag (as if a doorag were a fashion statement), he started nodding his head as the beat started to play. "G-g-g-g-g-Unit." Now he was lip-synching the words to a song called "Back Down." This was a different version from the one that would make the album. The song dissed everybody. Not just Ja Rule and Murder Inc., but Jay-Z, Cam'Ron, and others. In particular, the lines that stood out were a reference to Ja Rule sounding like the Cookie Monster, a line where 50 called Jay-Z gay, and a dis to Cam'Ron's pink fashion sense, and sudden weight loss. I knew from 50's first album (which never came out) that this was the formula to his success. It was all about putting everyone on blast and talking recklessly on records. But this was song was worse than "How To Rob" "Are you really going to put that out?" "I don't care. I'll put it out, but Dre and Em don't want me to," he replied, before quickly switching the subject
50 put his CD back into the car stereo and I heard the "Back Down" record play again. I only heard that version twice while I was in Los Angeles, but I never heard the same version again. When the album came out, an edited version of the song was on it. It kept the disses to Ja Rule and Murder Inc., of course, and chopped out all the rest. The song is like a pink elephant in hip-hop, because no one will admit that it actually existed.
The vibe felt really friendly, so I started fishing for information. So I heard you ran into Dipset out here and something popped off. You think they heard about the record you did?" Sha Money XL overheard our conversation and interrupted, "What record? There's no record." "The Back Down' record I heard in L.A., where he's dissin' Cam" "He ain't dissin' Cam on that record" Sha Money interjected. I was confused. I knew I had heard the dis on the song, but it was like a jedi mind trick because I started second-guessing what I'd heard. Did I really hear him mention Cam? I looked at 50 for validation, but he didn't say anything. Then when Sha turned his back, 50 rolled his eyes back and waved his hand. "I don't care, but he gotta act like that" "What's the big deal deal? You already said it." "They probably gonna take it off
Thank you for that. 50 is a superhero for real. Regards from germany
This was so amazing to watch! Y’all put in a lot of hard work and dedication towards this video and we can see it!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for this documentary bro!! This is Epic. 50 Cent sparked my interest in music, I grew up listening to him, and he has always been my favorite rapper and celebrity. That's how it will be forever!!!! 💯
