FYI - I suffer from some 'gangsta rap fatigue' during this listen, which is my bad. I was so focused on not picking a trap album this week (having done 2 last week) and wanting to sit down with a huge album, I forgot to consider the kind of content this album would hold. However, I'm going to use this as an opportunity to give The College Dropout a good, fresh listen and see how that shift in sound effects said fatique. Enjoy!

Pac and NWA probably created the abstract idea of a gangster rapper in pop culture but for me 50 is the personification. Get rich or die trying is the ultimate gangster rap album for me and a personal mantra.

This is the ultimate commercial album. But it’s the best of both worlds because 50 really lived everything he’s talking about, (except for the fact the he made a song called High All the Time even though he didn’t smoke weed). So even though you may say there’s no lyrical content, there is! Which is why it’s one of the most popular rap album of all time. Commercial but real at the same time.

“Life’s on the Line” was a single from 50 Cent’s shelved original debut album, ‘Power of the Dollar.’ It was recorded before he got shot nine times, including one shot to the face/mouth, which is why his voice and flow are different. Columbia dropped him after the shooting and never released the album despite a handful of songs/videos having been put out; and then Em and Dre signed him to make this album. (‘Power of the Dollar’ did leak in full tho and was sold via bootleggers)

Get rich was such a big album because the lyrics were raw and deliberate and his delivery and production matched it. Listening to it from your perspective its easy to miss the gravity of the lyrics he's saying but everyone knowing where he came from and living in the reality of what he's saying they hit a bit harder. The album was played all through he streets for a long time.

Edit: 50 Cent's catchy hooks, straight forward lyrics, amazing voice and the great production is what made this album so succesful internationally. Life's On The Line was recorded in 1998-99 before he got shot. U Not Like Me & Wanksta was recorded shortly after he got shot.

After Death Row, Dre became more of the traditional music producer (being like "raise the drums in the mix", "remove everything below this range on the snare" etc) and not what we consider hip hop producer (e.g. compose or sample, doing all the mixdown, controlling the final product) Plus all Quik claims is that he did the drums

You know Quik gonna be too modest. Listen to Fixxers project with AMG. And then show me a Dre song that sounds like this beat. Nah man. Even Quik admitted being frustrated all these years with this one. Nowadays Dre credits him. Then, nope. I can even remember Quik DJing in an early video of This is How we Do video with Game. Try to find something about that in the internet. Also a beat that sounded from him at the time. We prolly don’t know the half of his influence. Cause Quik always been about the music. Not the politics.

I think another album for you to listen to that would contrast between the “Bling/Gangsta” era of rap with 50 Cent and a more internal perspective is “The Black Album” by Jay-Z. It’s sort of Jay Z’s response to 50’s dominance of hiphop in New York with Get Rich Or Die Trying with his own spin on it that I think you will enjoy listening to and have more to pick apart. It also has some of Kanye’s best beats imo so it would be fun watching you react to that. Great reaction as always!

Heat's one of my favorite rap songs of all time- very chilling; but this is the second reaction I've seen recently where the reactor is totally out of depth on or just not feeling Heat; it doesn't even feel like typical gantster rap song in my opinion.

I appreciate what you said about unconditional love. I struggled with my relationship with my father before cutting off contact with him two years prior to his drug addiction ending his life. Without those two years of freedom from the chains of unconditional love, I could have never achieved the personal growth I needed to deal with his death and move on with my own life. It was absolutely a selfish thing to do, but sometimes you must be compassionate for yourself.

For the exact reason u said... it just sounds great...u just throw it on from the coin drop and enjoy the ride. 50 isn't the best rapper, but he is one of the best songwriters. All the choruses....they really carry the album along with the production. Mix that with surviving being shot nine times...instant star

'Finally Rich' by Chief Keef is probs the closest thing we have to a modern companion to this

His vocals on "Life's on the line" sound differently because it was before he got shot. When he got shot he lost piece of his tongue causing the drawl in his new sound

“50 told me, go ahead switch the style up, and if they hate then let ‘em hate and watch the money pile up” - Kanye West (Good Life) It’s insane how big of an artist 50 cent was in the early 2000’s

Hey rob, yes in da club is a club banger even till this day. Believe me was going crazy to this in the club not to long ago. Crazy to think this cameout 20 years ago. I was a kid then, now that i can understand the song it just hits different

It was a big album because rap at the time was mostly baller fake stuff. There wasn't a big gangsta rap album since 2Pac. Him getting shot 9 times, being cosigned by Eminem & Dr. Dre(who were on a big run with 2 eminem albums, chronic 2001, eminem's movie), dissing Ja Rule and basically ending his career and getting Eminem involved in the rap beef is what made this album big and a breath of fresh air at the time. Then it was packed with hard bangers, lived up to the hype. The album sold out in stores day 1, you couldn't find a copy anywhere. Radio stations would report where copies were restocked. Bootleggers burning CD's were making lots of money. It was a massive hit and a great experience hearing it for the first time while everyone else was listening.

The "It's your birthday" part of In Da Club isn't from 50 actually. That's a common thing people have been singing to each other since at least the late 80's to early 90's in black communities. Uncle Luke actually made a whole song using it back then too.

I waited till the end to comment, this was my high school album and it was interesting to see how you would react lyrically. 50 strength is in the hook and choruses the lyrics are not meant to overpower the beat. But it’s nice to see you want more substance in your music. But I am glad you enjoyed the last few tracks that came off of his earlier mixtapes

Great that you noticed in the last song his vocals were different b/c I believe that’s what he sounded like before he was shot in he face.
@luiscamposano4316 9 ай бұрын
"You Not Like Me" was recorded before he got shot which is why he sounds so different.

Hey Bob, I think something that could really help your perception of Gangsta rap would be to watch some biopics and movies like straight outta Compton, get rich or die trying, notorious, hustle and flow (not a biopic but still one of the greatest hip hop movies of all time). Would love to see you do a review of straight outta Compton after watching the movie which was incredibly well made and well acted.

The thing with 50 Cent's vocals is that he's voice and speach changed after he got shot, remember he said that he also got shot in the jaw aswel

Power of the Dollar (his actual debut album) will always be the best 50 album to me, but its very hard to find, at least the full version

100%, people forget In Da Club is the name of that song just because it's such a cultural phenomenon. 50 is timeless and was always gonna be a star, this album is so damn good

Back Down is one of the tracks that is just so good to listen too, especially when verse 2 comes. "The rap game is all fucked up now, what are we gonna do now? How we gonna eat man? 50 back around" and just yelling the next line like THAT'S JA LITTLE PUNK ASS THINKIN OUT LOUD S'SIDE 'TIL I DIE LMAO love the reactions!

Another great reaction! Consider doing a reaction to the BEEF series. It's a short Hip-Hop documentary from the 2000s that covers rap beefs. They go deep into lyrics and will explain the 50/Ja beef! I think there are 3 BEEF episodes and you should be able to find them all on KZfaq! (Beef 1, Beef 2, Beef 3) 🤘🏿

The point you made about someone is telling them to rap like this. I hear it too. Majority of music was marketed so it could be the main thing. It’s crazy how we see the same thing today
