Get Rich or Die Tryin' [PA] by 50 Cent (CD, Feb-2003, Aftermath Records USA)

I love this CD, its personally my favorite of 50 cent's albums, I love his collaborations with Eminem and all the old school rap artists he groups with.

this is the best 50 cd. 1 of my favorites in general. his flow and content was fresh for when it came out in the early 2000s. suggested buy

****Fast shipping*****Plays perfectly**** Awesome deal****Thank You *****Will buy from this seller again**

great product and geat seller two things that make me happy faster than expected too this seller is the real deal

cd play good, did it have a radio version, too bad too many m.f. word !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This CD is great. The beats might not be the best on every song, but many of the songs do have great beats. Hooks are great and this is lyrically an excellent CD.

I bought this cd because I had heard a couple of cuts from it that I liked. Plus the music industry and fans raved about this cd. Frankly, I should have just bought the cd singles of the songs I liked because I didn't like the rest of the cd. Too much violence and profanity for my taste. If someone wants their ears assaulted every other word or have violent tendencies, then they will love the cd. And this is coming from someone who listens to everything from classical to country music. You'll find Vivaldi and Beethoven, and The Phantom of the Opera and Christina Aguilera and India Arie and Maroon 5 and Rhianna in my collection. I truly love music, but this cd hurt my ears. Perhaps the version with all the expletives taken out would have been more palatable for me.

This is a great CD! I love all of the tracks and all the background music and everything about it. Its nice.

Great tracks.Fun party mix . OG style !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .

Probably the most hyped debut album by a rap artist in about a decade, most likely since Snoop's Doggystyle (1993) or perhaps Nas' Illmatic (1994), 50 Cent's Get Rich or Die Tryin' certainly arrived amid massive expectations. In fact, the expectations were so massive that they overshadowed the music itself — 50 becoming more of a phenomenon than simply a rapper — so massive that you had to be skeptical, particularly given the marketing-savvy nature of the rap world. Even so, Get Rich is indeed an impressive debut, not quite on the level of such landmark debuts as the aforementioned ones by Snoop or Nas — or those by Biggie, Wu-Tang, or DMX either — but impressive nonetheless, definitely ushering in 50 as one of the truly eminent rappers of his era. The thing, though, is that 50 isn't exactly a rookie, and it's debatable as to whether or not Get Rich can be considered a true debut (see the unreleased Power of the Dollar [1999] and the Guess Who's Back? compilation [2002]). That debate aside, however, Get Rich plays like a blueprint rap debut should: there's a tense, suspenseful intro ("What Up Gangsta"), an ethos-establishing tag-team spar with Eminem ("Patiently Waiting"), a street-cred appeal ("Many Men [Wish Death]"), a tailor-made mass-market good-time single ("In da Club"), a multifaceted tread through somber ghetto drama (from "High All the Time" to "Gotta Make It to Heaven"), and finally three bonus tracks that reprise 50's previously released hits ("Wanksta," "U Not Like Me," "Life's on the Line") — in that precise order. In sum, Get Rich is an incredibly calculated album, albeit an amazing one. After all, when co-executive producer Eminem raps, "Take some Big and some Pac/And you mix them up in a pot/Sprinkle a little Big L on top/What the f*ck do you got?" you know the answer. Give Em (who produces two tracks) and Dr. Dre (who does four) credit for laying out the red carpet here, and also give 50 credit for reveling brilliantly in his much-documented mystique — from his gun fetish to his witty swagger, 50 has the makings of a street legend, and it's no secret. And though he very well could be the rightful successor to the Biggie-Jigga-Nas triptych, Get Rich isn't quite the masterpiece 50 seems capable of, impressive or not. But until he drops that truly jaw-dropping album — or falls victim to his own hubris — this will certainly do.

Sorry it took me so long to response. I would have never imagined the condition of my purchase to be 100% true. Thanks 4 contributing to a good trial run

i just like its what i want so as longer i like this is graet so keep selling good luck good product it has the songs i want it.

It's a shame that he sold out to the Sex-sells bullshit-rap monster. But when he came out, 50 was on fire. This album is a good indication of the genius potential that he had. The early G-Unit Radio releases are even better, they're kind of like 'legitimage bootlegs', check em' out!!! GGG G-UNIT!!!!

By far one of the best albums in recent hip-hop history. Selling and amazing 870,000 copies opening week. 50 had the whole world going crazy in 2003. In Da Club, 21 Questions, PIMP, and Many Men made him an International Superstar.

I have been wanting another copy of the cd since mine was stolen and I was browsing on ebay and seen it. It was at a great price, so I decided to bid on it. I was really impressed on how fast the seller had the itemed shipped to me. Ebay really needs to give recongition to the great sellers on here, because believe me there are some pretty great sellers on ebay who are just outstanding and stand behind the product they sell.

It was good to get this hugely popular cd for 1/2 price. There must be tons on the market so I'm glad I didn't give 50 cent more business buy buying it new. All in all, I wanted to hear some of the hits which it has so that's good. Otherwise, 50 Cent's music is devoid of anything real stimulating and he defintely over sexes and talks about violence and guns too much in his music.

CLASSIC EVEN WITH ALL THE HYPE.
50 CENT REALLY DID A GREAT JOB.
GREAT PRODUCTION TOO.
G-UNIT AT THEIR FINREST.

Pretty hot album from a talented rapper. A big step up from his first album. 50 and Eminem and Nate Dogg all on the same album? You'd be cheating yourself if you didn't buy it.

A True Classic. 50 cent did a great job on this ablbum. Every Song is creative, and sounds great when turned up REAL LOUD.

Yeah this joint is fiyah after this CD alot of rappers had to change the way they saying stuff! I liked beats and lyrics his flow is most unique.
