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!

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.

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.

50 CENT vs JA RULE Long story a little less long, 50 & Ja are both from Queens. Ja being from Hollis & 50 being from Southside Jamaica Queens. A stick up kid named Troy robbed Ja Rule at his video shoot for his chain. Ja saw Troy hanging out with 50 Cent in the club once & then viewed 50 as an enemy. Not knowing Ja’s feelings towards him, 50 appeared at a Murder Inc music video shoot to show love but was blown off by Ja. From that moment the feud intensified. While in Atlanta 50 & Ja ran into each other at a radio show concert. While arguing Ja swung a miniature bat at 50. 50 blacked Ja’s eye & took his chain. Few months later 50 was in a studio recording, Ja got wind of it & had his crew jump 50. One of Ja’s associates Black Child stabbed 50’s hand. From then the streets felt like Ja’s life became endangered & Ja’s street cred was taking a hit once 50 started dissing him on his records. Street OGs attempted to squash the beef but 50 refused. This made the older street guys feel disrespected. Once temperatures got too high, Supreme ordered a hit on 50, resulting to him getting shot 9 times in 2000 by Mike Tyson’s bodyguard & friend Hommo, who was murdered 3 weeks after 50 got shot. IT GETS DEEPER (extra context) Murder Inc was funded (and extorted) by infamous Kingpin Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff, who was also from Jamaica Queens like 50. He ran the street crew, Supreme Team. Supreme & 50 always had a weird dynamic, being from the same hood. Supreme actually knew 50’s mother, who was a known drug dealer before she was murdered when 50 was 8 years old. It’s rumors that Supreme might’ve murdered her but there’s no evidence of that. In the mid 90s The Supreme Team was pretty much ruined by the Feds, ushering a new generation of drug dealers. 50 became one of the biggest dealers in Southside at the time but decided to pursue a career in music once his son was born. 50 looked up to Supreme but felt slighted that Supreme didn’t embrace him like he embraced Ja Rule, being that they were from the same hood & the fact 50’s raps were actually authentic. Supreme being in a jam financially after getting out of jail chose working with Ja Rule & Murder Inc in exchange for street cred & protection to them over embracing a young 50 who he couldn’t control. So putting a hit on 50 to get him killed was Supreme protecting his investment (Ja Rule).

From the way you commented on those gangsta song that offer a bit more insight into 50’s life or have funny more complex wordplay, you’d definitely like power of the dollar

Quick 50/Ja beef breakdown: 50 claims he had a friend who robbed Ja Rule and Ja Rule saw 50 at a club hanging out with the guy who robbed him. Which sparked the initial tension. Ja Rule claims that 50 walked through a Ja Rule music video set one day and was jealous of all the love that Ja/Murder inc. was getting while 50 himself wasn't getting any. 50 and G-unit had way more diss tracks about Ja before he ever met Em or Dre but Ja didn't respond (lyrically) quite yet. The EXACT details of what started the beef initially are still up in the air and it's hard to really confirm it one way or another. But later on, there would be a fight between 50 and Ja at a club in Atlanta; 50 got stabbed by Ja's camp in a recording studio, Dr. Dre got attacked at an awards show, etc. Later, when 50 signed to Shady/Aftermath, Ja released a diss track called "Loose Change" where he disses 50; Dre, Em, Dre's label artists, etc. but it was the line at the end where he disses Em that REALLY ignited the beef to a whole new level. 50 said he didn't want to got at Ja at first, because he didn't want Em and Dre to think they were "buying into a problem". But Ja mentioned Em's daughter on the diss track and that's when Em told 50 to go all out. 50; G-unit, Em, Busta Rhymes, DMX, Obie Trice, etc. all went at Ja and Murder Inc. on albums; features, and mixtapes. During that time, Ja Rule slowly faded into obscurity and Shady Aftermath pretty much dominated the early 2000's hip hop scene. It's important to note, there was a lot of street politics before all of that music shit happened that I didn't mention. That would give some context to the situation. But also, Ja Rule was a BIG artist during his time in the late 90's-2002(ish). and Murder Inc. was a really big label. I don't care for most of his music but Ja had some really big R&B/Hip-Hop cross overs and a few really good street bangers that ended up on a few movie soundtracks. He's worth a listen but he certainly isn't a "go-to" name for hip hop heads. He did have some bangers though.

Its 20th anniversary is today (14th Nov) Then move onto the following; Lloyd Banks - Hunger for More Young Buck - Straight outta cashville The Game - The Documentary 50 cent - The Massacre Tony Yayo - Thoughts of a predicate felon 50 cent - Get rich or die tryin Soundtrack Then watch the Get rich or die tryin movie.

This album is definitely a time capsule classic for me. High All The Time is, ironically, the fakest song 50 Cent ever made bc he's not a smoker. Although I don't think equating a song about targeted gun violence with the mass shooting problem we have in this country, I do get why someone wouldn't like Heat. At one point, though, Heat was my second favorite song bc it was so aggressive (still a great workout song imo). Many Men is and always has been my favorite song. Eminem didn't discover 50 Cent. Jam Master Jay from Run DMC discovered 50 Cent in the late 90s. He started out with a song called How to Rob, which was about robbing a bunch of popular rappers and basically got him blackballed in the rap industry. Nas was one of the few rappers willing to work with him at the time. 50 Cent was previously signed to Sony at the time, but they dropped him. Jam Master Jay got murdered, and 50 Cent got shot, so he basically lost everything he has going for him. Power of the Dollar was his first album, but it was never officially released so it came out as a mixtape later. He eventually started putting out a bunch of mixtapes with his crew, G-Unit, that started getting him a lot of hype. The last three songs are from that era. Wanksta was the song that convinced Eminem to sign 50 and G-Unit.

"U not like me" and "Life's on the line" actually got most popular from his Guess Who's Back mixtape, which is why it has a different sound. I highly recommend it, because honestly, Guess Who's Back is a better album than Get Rich or Die Trying. Get Rich may have had superior production in some places, but Guess Who's Back had 50 with the most hunger and lyricism of his career.

If you want to know more about the beef between 50 & Murder Inc (Ja Rule + Irv Gotti), look into Supreme. He was a kingpin in New York. He's currently in prison for a double homicide. Hommo (which is referenced in Many Men, and is also Mike Tyson's friend) was part of the Supreme team, and is reported to be in the car when 50 got shot 9 times outside his grandma's house in May of 2000. When it comes to Ja & 50, there are different stories, but it most likely started over Ja being robbed of his chain in the late 90's. There's a lot more info about the whole situation to put into just one comment though. Other notable names in the situation would be Black Just & E Money Bags. Listen to Ghetto Quran by 50 Cent as well. New York was crazy back then.

“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)

One album I would recommend after listening to 50 is Pop Smoke’s, ‘Shoot for The Stars Aim for The Moon’. He is essentially the protégé of 50 Cent and even has sampled some of 50’s songs. Great review by the way!

Maybe first react to meet the woo 1 or 2 before Shoot for the stars. Due to the fact that he passed before that album was made.

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!

Damn youve been hearing some dumb opinions about Eminem. He's definitely evolved as any artist does over 25 years, but its absolutely not only about lyrical miracle speed. There's an outrageous amount of story and meaning to his stuff still. I think the biggest difference is that he's more focused nowadays on being technical, trying to be perfect as far as his syllables and internal/external rhyming goes. Thats the challenge for him 25 years later now that he's made it, and thats not for everyone. But he's still absolutely masterful as an emcee imo.

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 KZitem! (Beef 1, Beef 2, Beef 3) 🤘🏿

Thanks Bob. Another classic! In Da Club was actually a returned favor by Dj Quik after the legal issues with the sample from Truth Hurts - So Addictive. But Dre built his career on putting his name on other peoples creativity.

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

Not true, Quik only did the drums on In Da Club

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.

1 - blasphemous to not heart Wangsta 2 - G units first album is a GREAT listen 3 - you were spot on with noticing his voice change , that was part of him going mainstream, the south had almost taken over hip hop by then so he put a little country in his voice to capitalize off that demographic

Oh man, you gotta deep dive into the ja rule/50 cent beef and the crazy energy they brought anywhere they went. There’s PLENTY stuff on KZitem to show u how crazy it got. Then add the toll this took on Eminem and Benzino (the source magazine owner) career. 50 was, and still is one of the VERY few rappers that was legit about the stuff they were rapping about.

Oh and btw, I’ve been goin thru some stuff man and ur reactions and deep dives into a lot of the music I grew up on just brings a smile to my face and keeps me distracted which I need rn. It’s so authentic, it doesn’t pander to popular artists fan bases which a lot of reactors do for clicks. Even songs that I like, I love hearing why u don’t like it. Like this “heat” song on this album, prob one of my favs on this album. Appreciate the authenticity mah dude. .

When this album dropped 50 Cent completely took over the rap game, Jay-Z said he told his label to drop all their work before 50 dropped in da club because he knew it was going to be a bomb
