Eminem once said that when making the album with 50 he told him that he actually believed PIMP was way better than in da club I kinda agree with him. In da club is the classic but PIMP was just so ahead of its time. 50 was out here doing the singing in rap years before Drake ever arrived and it sounded so smooth and that production was just crazy

Being from the Tri-State area this album means everything along with Power Of A Dollar, the entire mixtape run before and after with Massacre and the GRODT soundtrack. I think people underrate just how good prime 50 was as a songwriter these days and how he flipped choruses, hooks, bridges the way he did. And to this day rappers still go back to use his techniques.

February 2003 I was living in Chicago at the time. I was 24 at the time and I was on my way back home from Virginia visiting my grandmother who was very sick at the time. My friend picked me up from MDW airport on the south side. As I was waiting for him to pull up at least 5 cars drove past me playing a different song from GRODT. When he picked me up I asked him to stop at Coconuts which was a commercial record store at the time in Chicago Ridge. When we got there the line was by the door for people buying that album. It was a time to be alive and definitely changed hip hop. A classic masterpiece

Get Rich or Die Tryin’ is 1st tier in my opinion and can compete against any classic hip hop album. 50 was at his best on this one! song structure, hooks, slick witty lines, and his delivery made you believe everything he was saying was real!!! The production was top notch and blended in perfectly with song structure on this album. Dre wasn’t just talkin when he said it can compete with all the classics he named he was serious!!!
