I was bought this CD for Christmas because I LOVE 50 Cent. A great compilation of great songs from great artistes. A lot of swearing but HEYHO. A secondhand CD at a great price from a good ebayer. GREAT. 50 Cent, Eminem, Young Buck, Tony Yayo, Nate Dogg, Lloyd Banks.Producers include: Dr. Dre, Eminem, John Freeman, Red Spyda, Terence Dudley. With its inclusion on the mega-successful 8 MILE soundtrack, 50 Cent's "Wanksta" blew up in late 2002, calling out the hypocrisies of wannabe gangstas who boast of criminal exploits that exist only in their imaginations. If anyone has the right to speak it's 50 Cent; he made his mark in the streets (not to mention newspapers) long before Eminem inked the Queens rapper to his Shady Records. In between the occasional single and album, 50 Cent has been involved in many notorious hip-hop confrontations. The too-aptly titled GET RICH OR DIE TRYIN' (which includes "Wanksta") introduces his brash, talk-it-like-he-walks-it rap style to the world at large. 50 Cent blithely cites the Bible in "Many Men (Wish Death)" while crowing about the rival who famously shot him in 2000 only to be shot himself ("cuz he got hit like I got hit and he ain't...breathin'"). From that slice of ultra-reality, he shifts to the dance-pop anthem "In Da Club." Throughout GET RICH OR DIE TRYIN', 50 Cent presents a strikingly original, raw worldview, even by the well-traveled genre's bleak and violent standards.Read full review
Cd works fine until track 17 , so unable to listen to the full album. Slightly unhappy

He’s been shot nine times. And stabbed up . And that’s only what’s happened on 50 Cent’s down time. Hands down, 50 Cent is the biggest buzz rapper since Eminem (who just happens to be his label CEO), and Get Rich also features Dr. Dre on production, so it’s a can’t-miss record, right? Well, mostly. Get Rich is not filled with midtempo, radio-friendly numbers like "Wanksta," his thinly veiled Ja Rule dis first heard on the 8 Mile soundtrack. Instead, Cent brings the heat. He sheds his inner thug on "21 Questions," featuring G-funk crooner Nate Dogg showing some semblance of respect to the hotties, and then reverts right back to his thug persona on "In da Club," where he boasts "I’m into having sex, I ain’t into making love." although "Many Men" comes close, as he addresses some of the haters who may not fully get why he’s now rap’s God. Surprisingly, the two Eminem-produced joints--"Patiently Waiting" (which thematically is very much like Em’s "Lose Yourself"), and "Don’t Push Me"--almost rival the beats supplied by Dre.Read full review
Really good quality product, originally brought the album for a select few songs however I listened to the full play list and all the songs are actually really good if your in to old school hip hop.
