DStyles Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 ... we were blessed with one of the best hip hop albums of all time. Can't believe that it has been 10 years. I still remember going to the store and getting my copy even though I had the bootleg. This album was worth the purchase. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/9d/Get_Rich_Or_Die_Tryin [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epPipE4z95I]50 cent - If I can't - YouTube[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6OkLZ5K76s]50 Cent - Many Men - YouTube[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqNB_Cta5bw]50 cent- 21 questions - YouTube[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lava Tonsil Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I thought this was sarcasm for a moment but as you're serious... i got this album for £1 from an addict who'd stolen it from somewhere and i wouldn't have owned it otherwise. Each to their own and all that, it's a decent album but i wouldn't consider it one of the best hip hop albums of all time. I don't know if the overplaying of it had an effect at the time so it may have aged better than i remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoochy Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Cut This. I like a few songs off the album, but it's far from being one of the best hip hop albums of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEG23 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 It could just be the way the industry has changed or because i don't listen to much hip hop these days but i still believe many rap artists of the early to mid 90's were the greatest of all time. I didn't know we could do these tribute threads, stay tuned for my Taylor Swift one:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSpanner Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Forgot most of you guys listen to grime rappers and conscious shit. Let me put it this way: Real Classic album: Sgt Peppers lonely hearts club band, Electric Ladyland, Led Zep III, The Black Album, Kind Of Blue. More recently: What's the story morning glory, Nevermind, Elephant etc.... Just to name a few (feel free to add) NOWHERE WILL YOU FIND 50 CENT IN A REPUTABLE TOP ALBUM CHART.

pandaliamcod6 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I completely agree, Curtis isn't the illiterate thug many people see him as. He is more of a philanthropist and a business connoisseur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DStyles Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 lol@"real music" and dead at an Oasis album being considered classic. Maybe some of you guys were 5 or 6. Not pulling the age card but if you were in NYC, you couldn't go 5 minutes w/o a car driving by and hearing 50 Cent on the radio. No other artist since 50 Cent has been able to generate that same buzz. Not even a Lady GaGa or Taylor Swift. Sgt. Peppers, that's possibly the worst album I ever heard. It's up there with Bob Dylan's first album. And LZIII is no classic. Great album but no where near I, II, IV, HOTH or Physical Graffiti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Tom Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) lol@"real music" and dead at an Oasis album being considered classic. General consensus. Maybe some of you guys were 5 or 6. Not pulling the age card Yes you are, and that's a bad decision. You've got a year on me, so don't try that bullshit. but if you were in NYC, you couldn't go 5 minutes w/o a car driving by and hearing 50 Cent on the radio. No other artist since 50 Cent has been able to generate that same buzz. Not even a Lady GaGa or Taylor Swift. That's a gross overstatement, and you know it. Having "buzz" in one place doesn't reflect everywhere else. The only people who were listening to it here were the chavs everyone hates. Sgt. Peppers, that's possibly the worst album I ever heard. It's up there with Bob Dylan's first album. Haven't listened to much then, have you? Edited February 7, 2013 by Angry Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DStyles Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 After seeing you use the word Chav, I see you guys are from the UK. It's understandable http://i.imgur.com/VSELQ.gif You guys should have been here in NYC during 2003. 2XL white Ts, Yankee fitted, saggy jeans, white ups, and Fif on your ipod/cd player.

I listen to Interpol as well as The Strokes. http://www.the-coli.com/images/smilies/whoo.png But neither those two bands generated the buzz that 50 had. You can dislike his music but you can't diminish that great run he had. The only other time that I can think of an artist being on the radio constantly was Michael Jackson when he died.

Had being the operative of course, he is now a has been, and looking back all these years later it is now blatantly obvious why his career is dead. Simply because he was never that good. I actually now feel ashamed for even liking this 10 years ago.... 50 cent was pretty much the first modern example of being able to flog a dead horse if a record label just put enough cash into it. And now we have Bieber et al. As for Interpol/The Strokes, they never needed the hype/buzz because they could rely on their own talent. Just look at TOTBL or Is This It, 10-12 years on these are widely regarded as classics and 50 has been consigned to the bargain-bin of history.

DStyles Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 So basically, according to your argument any record label could have created their own 50 Cent? http://www.the-coli.com/images/smilies/rudy.png Lets see someone else emulate 50's run.

Yup, that's exactly what I'm saying. You caught on fast. More to the point, most labels actually have. Let's start then, Who has been successful in the industry whilst completely lacking in talent? (Please feel free to add if I've missed any) Rihanna Bieber One Direction Lil Wayne Britney Spears Most rap artists between 2005-now Coldplay Need I continue? Each one of these is signed to a major label with a major marketing budget. They could probably record the pope farting into a mic and get it to number 1 on the billboard 200.

iBuzz7S Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 This thread is hilarious. Not as funny as this tweet sent out by 50 himself. http://speedcap.net/sharing/files/4c/db/4cdb2027916af7459b7b0ab6b6cccb49.png Top 5, dead or alive? LMFAO! Disrespecting a lot of rappers who paved the way for people like him, only for people like him to rap about girls, cars and money. Oh yeah and the drugs too, the ones he claims he doesn't do. This album is okay and nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
