Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Stabbed, shot, assaulted and now with a million-dollar record deal, 50 Cent lives up to the title of his latest album Get Rich or Die Trying. The New York native comes from the same school as B.I.G, Shine and Mobb Deep--a raw street rhymer who mixes the thug and poet in one perplexing package. 50 cent earned extra cred by coming up through mix-tape popularity after his first album was dropped when the ex-boxer was shot on the eve of its release. Guns, threats, drug deals and misogyny populate 50 Cent's outlaw world, but it's a popular mix--hence his recently sealed link with Eminem's record company.

The excellent "Wanksta" was pulled onto the 8 Mile soundtrack and Dr Dre produced the crunching first single, "In Da Club". Jamaican Sean Paul puts his now familiar patter on the hypnotic "Dem Not Ready". "If You Want It" is a ridiculously rude party joint, while "Cocaine Dreams" takes a pop at Ja Rule. "Got the Hood on Smash" is, undoubtedly, damn funky. Sadly his first single "How to Rob an Industry N***A" (reminiscent of B.I.G's equally scabrous "Dreams") doesn't appear. Even the most hardcore have to tone it down sometimes. --Jake Barnes

CD Description
'Get Rich Or Die Tryin' is the debut album from Eminem and Dr. Dre protege 50 Cent. The album brings together Dre's trademark hip hop production of slick hip hop beats, and gangsta style hooks with 50 Cent's tales of street life derived from his time in prison, being shot, and growing up growing upin Queens. The album also features a guest appearance from Eminem. This two disc set contains a bonus DVD.

1.0 out of 5 stars The main culprit of rap becoming so mind numbingly bad, 11 Aug 2005
im only 18, and there was a time when i listened to 'gangsta' rap. i listened to NWA, dre, cube, snoop, 2pac, biggie etc etc, and they werent bad, in fact, they were awesome. i still listen to it from time to time. but what the hell is this. this is terrible. my taste in rap/hip hop has changed now and i listen to old skool, and believe me, that is where the talent is. yes u heard me 'talent'. i cant understand why people like this, it is depressing. i seriously wish he would have 'died trying'. if this review would change the opinion of at least one person then i would be happy. anybody who wants to know where it all started, listen to pete rock, biz markie, big daddy kane, heavy d, brand nubian/grand puba, marley marl, lords of the underground, tribe called quest. u wont be dissapointed.

1.0 out of 5 stars Get Rich By Not Trying, 31 May 2005
And in rolls the bullet pin-cushion freakshow known as 50 Cent - real name Curtis - to collect his million dollar royalty cheque from Aftermath. Get rich indeed...

With an ego as bloated as his ridiulous naked torso, 50 Cent had a lot to deliver on his pre-hyped reputation. Does he deliver? Well, no and it's hard to see quite why he was ever signed in the first place. For a start, and probably the finish, he can't rap. Plain and simple. Mr Jackson's mumbling wordplay trips over words, lacks conviction and makes for poor, witless observations. For example, "I love you like a fat kid loves cake". Honestly, what's the point?

"So he's laconic? So's Snoop and he's great!" I hear you say. And that's true, the only difference being that the Dogg could run verbal rings around this slow-witted abuser of the English language. He's also a smart, colourful and acid-tongued character, a sharp contrast to "Fiddy's" charm-less thug persona. In fact, every one of this album's guests only serve to highlight what a pointless performer the main star actually is.

A constant and unwholly unjustified criticism of rap/hip-hop by those who don't get/like it, is that it's talentless. This album reinforces that opinion. By trading on an image that reflects every negative and boorish sentiment of rap's past 20 years, 50 Cent spits out the least-worthy genre title to emerge in recent times. The album's saving grace, should it have one, is its polished production and sample-heavy backbeats. They're the bits that people remember, not the clumsy fool on the mic. For that, the one star rating is wholly justified.

50 Cent? Should be the recommended retail price...

1.0 out of 5 stars Wack like Timmy Mallett, 1 Sep 2004
What a load of lame-ass drivel. The man spits like he's been shot in the mouth. Oh wait - he has? Well then he must be a really inventive rhymer then, right? Nope - think Vanilla Ice on a bad day. Fifty is popular with the feckless yoof because he raps about guns & hos, because he's been shot and because Dre is backing him up. From a hip hop point of view, this album sucks like a Dyson. If you're a 14-year-old sheep, go ahead & hit that buy button. If you have an independent mind and like good hip hop, try Dangermouse, MF Doom, Mobb Deep, Kanye West, Edan, Prince Po, Encore or any of the other wicked rappers on the scene. 50 Cents? I'll give you a dime.....
