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

 A real blast September 9, 2010

50 is great. So eloquent. My fav is In Da Club. That's where most of my ex girl freinds end up. A good companion to this fine music would be a reasonable well written book but this one will suffice Alza's Fantastic Misadventures in Time and Space. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Simply the greatest album of all time! Every track is perfect with not one feeling out of place. In fact 50's most popular track 'In Da Club' is probably my least favourite! Patiently waiting, many men, Poor lil rich, in fact all of them are pure lyrical genius! A true classic...
One of the best rap CD's of the last 10 years!!! February 12, 2003

Put simply, this is one of the all-time classic hip-hop albums!!
Got this yesterday and have listened through it 3 times and am hard pressed to find a single weak track!! In my opinion this is on a par with Snoop's Doggystyle album, in that it has banging tracks one after another!! Both Dre & Eminem have bought their obvious talents to this release and with 50's smooth flowin' style it's a match made in heaven. 'What Up Gansta' 'In da club' 'Many Men' and 'High all the time' are all classic tracks.
I can only advise anyone who likes Dre's beats to BUY THIS ALBUM!! Haven't looked at the DVD yet, but when the CD is this good I've already got serious value for money!!

50 Cent has been around alot longer than most folk think appearin' on mixtapes and makin' a mark on the n.y underground scence and most recently on the 8 mile soundtrack. After all the hype surrounding this release it is finally here and has definately been worth the wait. From start to finish this album has great beats along with tight lyrics from 50 with appearences from Eminem,Nate Dogg,Young Buck,Tony Yayo and Lloyd Banks from G-Unit. With Dr. Dre and Eminem as the executive producers of the album it was always gonna be good and any fan of of the shady/aftermath camp should definately get this album

I have been sitting infront of my computer now for about 15 minutes trying to think of an opening statement to this album but i don't believe words can do this justice but i will try anyway.Not since Biggies "ready to die" dropped have i heard so much hype about a rapper from the streets of new york. The hype for this album is well justified and on the evidence of this album I think 50 cent will be around for a long time to come. To compare this album to biggies first is unfair as this isnt 50 cents first album release and the style of the album is diferent which is a testiment to how production in hip-hop has changed in the last 8 years. The production on this album is slick and matches 50 cent's lyrical style perfectly, The way i believe it manages this is by not relying to heavily on one producer but by letting alot of producers giving their own styles to individual tracks this means that you avoid the albums production becoming tired and sounding the same and believe me every track on this album sounds fresh. Contributions on this albums come from some great names which include Eminem, Nate Dogg and Dr Dre who although doesnt rap on this he did produce the first single from the album "In da club" which is the best track i have heard since N.O.R.E.'s Nothin'. But the real reason for you buying this album is to hear true lyrical genius at work. Normally i would try and pick out the bright spots on the album but to do this i would have to find a bad track to seperate the good ones from which i cant... This album has everything including a bit of beef with Ja-rule (always good to hear). Not bad for a man who was shot many times in the legs and in the cheek. BUY THIS YOU WOULD BE MAD NOT TO! * source from the Westwood show discussing the 50 cent album launch in the UK
