      @seancagney8897 2 года назад

      Pac and BIG pushed other artists when they were alive to drop better music IMO, after 97 it was all downhill pretty much for a while.... I would say it came back some with Nas Stillmatic and so on in 01 and a few underground albums but it would return in full around 02-03 for a minute and 50 had a huge buzz then I remember.

    Ahhh I love 50 Cent so much, he was the first rapper I listened to, when I was like 6 years old and my brother listened to 50 and Eminem all the time. Man I love this album so much, it is so sad that no one of my friends listens to hip hop in general, and I can't share my excitement about music :'(

    Get Rich or Die Tryin when you come to think of it isn’t as lyrical as an album such as Illmatic or Enter the 36 Chambers imo. What makes it one of my top 5 albums is cause of how gangsta 50 made Hip-Hop and how Dr. Dre still reminded everybody how he was the top producer back in the day.
