    Looks like i'm the second one to review an album the forums. I chose to review 50 Cent's Get Rich or Die Tryin' to let you guys know that this is the best rap album right now on the streets.

    01. Intro 7/10
    This intro track is as short as 6 seconds. It's simply a somebody dropping a coin and a gun getting reloaded. This is a nice intro to start the album because it's simbolizing the title of the album. But it's not the best.
    02. What Up Gangsta 7/10
    This is the best song to start off the album. Because he's introducing himself to the public. What up gangstaaah is included in the chorus of the song. He talks about what he thinks about himself and what some other people think about him. The first line after the first chorus is They say I walk around like got a 'S' on my chest and he replies Naw, that's a semi-auto, and a vest on my chest. By the way, nice beats.
    03. Patiently Waiting feat. Eminem 9/10
    This song is the first song that 50 Cent has some collaboration with Eminem or any other rappers in the album. This has to be by far one of his best songs. Because 50 Cent says that he is not afraid of anyone and he is willing to fight with anyone. "These industry niggas ain't friends, they know how to pretend" He also adds some 9/11 reference. I don't like Eminem at all but on the second verse he's killing. As he talks about the best rappers and some 9/11 reference as well. "Shady Records was eighty seconds away from the towers
    Them cowards f***** wit the wrong building, they meant to hit ours
    ". On the 3rd verse 50 is talking about fighting with anyone and defeating them. I think that this song is also addressed to Ja Rule.
    04. Many Men [Which Death] 9/10
    This song have to be the sadest song I've ever heard. As he talk how he got shot. The song goes like this "Many men, wish death upon me, Blood in my eye dawg and I can't see, I'm trying to be what I'm destined to be, And n***** trying to take my life away...". He alo talks about getting back at them. It also has one of the best beats ever made.
    05. In The Club 9/10
    This song another of the best song of the album. He starts with the catchy verse: "Go, go, go, go, go, go, Go shawty, it's your birthday, We gon' party like it's your birthday". The beats produced by Dr. Dre are the best beats ever. In this songs 50 talks about how he has progressed.
    06. High All The Time 4/10
    This song got to be the worst song of the album. You know why by just looking at the title. But it's not the worst song ever...
    07. Heat 7.5/10
    He talks about getting back at the people that shot him. This song has the best beats by Dr. Dre. A gun getting reloaded. This is the best fighting song ever. "Behind that twinkle in ya eyes, I can see the b**** in you."
    8. If I Can't 8/10
    The chorus goes like this "If I can't do well, homey, it can't be done
    Now I'ma let the champagne bottle pop, I'ma take it to the top,Fo sho I'ma make it hot, baby (baby)
    " It's a very catchy chorus and the beats are pretty good. On of the best lines is "I am whut I am, you could like it or love it, It feels good to pull 50 grand and think nothin of it". This has to be one of 50's best indeed.
    9. Blood Hound feat. Young Buck of G-Unit 7/10
    This is a very hyper song as 50 starts with "50 Cent, that's my name,
    Man I ain't f*****' playin'
    ". Young Buck did a great job. As he starts off with "I came in this game knowin' niggas gon' hate me
    Just for the simple fact they know that I'm a rida' (rida')
    ". This is not the best and not the worst song.
    10. Back Down 9/10
    This song is addressed to Ja Rule. It's another song with beats of the hook. As 50 says "I ain't tellin anyone you cat, I ain't tellin anyone you gettin extored, It ain't over.... (G-UNIT), I've been patently waitin to BLOWW, Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the "50 Cent Show", This is my life, my pain, my night, my gun, Now that I'm back, you can't sleep, I'm a nightmare huuhhhh" This is another master piece of 50 Cent. I'd give this song an 8/10 but at the end a woman comes defending Ja Rule, it's so hilarious!! :lol: .
    11. P.I.M.P. 6/10
    50 Cent talks about him being the greatest pimp. This song is not that great. I love the remix with Snoop Dogg better.
    12. Like My Style feat. Tony Yayo 7.5/10
    In this song 50 expresses himself in a very cocky way as in other songs. As 50 says in the chorus "I know you like my style, You like how I break it down, You like how I break it down, Wanna get rich I'll show you how"
    13. Poor Lil' Rich 7.9/10
    He talks how he was poor and now rich. And how the rap game have helped him progressed his life. The chorus starts "I was a poor n****, now I'm a rich n****".
    14. 21 Questions feat. Nate Dogg 9/10
    This have to be one of the best love songs I've heard. As Nate Dogg talks in the chorus "Would you love me if I was down and out?" and that's what basically the song is about. Nate Dogg did a great job. The beats are awesome and appropiate for the song.
    15. Don't Push Me feat. Eminem & Lloyd Banks of G-Unit 7.8/10
    50 Cent says "Right now I'm on the edge, so don't push me
    I aim straight for your head, so don't push me
    " in the chorus and that's what the whole songs is about. I don't know about Eminen but Lloyd did a good job,
    16. Gotta Make it to Heaven 8.5/10
    You know what tha song is about once you see the title. It's a pretty good song. He says in the chorus "I gotta make it to heaven, f*** going through hellGotta make it to heaven, gotta make it to heaven...". It got a nice flow.
    Bonus Cuts Unlisted Songs
    17. Wanksta 9/10
    This was the song that introduced the world to 50. It got great beats. Another of 50's classic. This song is also addressed to Ja Rule. 50 Cent says that he is the "wanksta".
    18. U Not Like Me 7.9/10
    He talks about himself being unique and nobody it's like him. It's a very nice song.
    19. Life's on the Line 7/10
    In this song, as the last song of the album, 50 Cent says that he doesn't care if some people don't like him. In the chorus he talks about the people that tried to kill him saying 'i dont belive you murder'...
    Final Thought 8.5/10
    This is a great album! It's focused on a lot of things. 50 talks a lot about his personal life, unlike many rappers. Yeah, he talks about drugs, hoes, and some of the things that most rappers rap about. But deeply this album is about revenge and how he has progressed in his life and in the rap game. There are no perfect songs in this album but most of them are great. If you listen to rap, make sure to get it. If you don't like rap then make sure you at least download his bests and you be the jugde. :) I know that I would never regret getting this album. I can't wait to get his other albums out in stores and his upcoming album on Christmas. And some of his appearances in some of the songs in the G-Unit upcoming album.

    I'm not a big 50 cent fan but I like the song wanksta. I don't know why. Probably cause in the video he says 'wankstas' and it sounds funny.

    He has a song called P.I.M.P.?

    He can spell? Hooray for pocket change!

    Sorry but this artist is terrible. He raps monotone, is UGLY, and has a style that puts me to sleep.

    21 Questions is the title for his love song? Isn't that a game? I guess love is game for him. :lol:

    I don't care what you guys thnk about him. He is till my favorite rapper (after Mike). And 21 questions is the best I've heard, not the best one ever made. By the way, here's the lyrics for the song, so you guys quit talking sh!t.

    [50 Cent - singing]
    New York City!
    You are now rapping... with 50 Cent
    You gotta love it...
    I just wanna chill and twist the lye
    Catch stunts in my 7-45
    You drive me crazy shorty I
    Need to see you and feel you next to me
    I provide everything you need and I
    Like your smile I don't wanna see you cry
    Got some questions that I got to ask and I
    Hope you can come up with the answers babe

    [Nate Dogg ]
    Girl... it's easy to love me now
    Would you love me if I was down and out?
    Would you still have love for me?
    Girl... it's easy to love me now
    Would you love me if I was down and out?
    Would you still have love for me?
    Girl...

    [50 Cent]
    If I fell off tomorrow would you still love me?
    If I didn't smell so good would you still hug me?
    If I got locked up and sentenced to a quarter century
    could I count on you to be there to support me mentally?
    If I went back to a hooptie from a Benz
    would you poof, and disappear, like some of my friends?
    If I was hit and I was hurt would you be by my side?
    If it was time to put in work would you be down to ride?
    I'd get out and peel a nigga cap, you chill and drive
    I'm askin questions to find out how you feel inside
    If I ain't rap cause I flipped burgers at Burger King
    would you be ashamed to tell your friends you feelin me?
    In the bed if I used my tongue, would you like that?
    If I wrote you a love letter, would you write back?
    Now we can have a lil' drink you know a nightcap
    And we could go do what you like, I know you like that

    [Nate Dogg]
    Girl... it's easy to love me now
    Would you love me if I was down and out?
    Would you still have love for me?
    Girl... it's easy to love me now (Woo!)
    Would you love me if I was down and out?
    Would you still have love for me?
    Girl...

    [50 Cent]
    Now would you leave me if your father, found out I was thuggin?
    Do you believe me when I tell you, you the one I'm lovin?
    Are you mad cause I'm askin you 21 questions?
    Are you my soulmate? Cause if so, girl you're a blessin
    Do you trust me enough, to tell me your dreams?
    I'm staring at ya trying to figure how you got in them jeans
    If I was down would you say things to make me smile?
    I treat you how you want to be treated just teach me how
    If I was with some other chick and someone happened to see
    and when you asked me about it I said it wasn't me
    would you believe me, or up and leave me?
    How deep is our bond if that's all it takes for you to be gone?
    We only humans girl we make mistakes
    To make it up I'll do whatever it take
    I love you like a fat kid love cake
    You know my style, I'll say anything to make you smile

    [Nate Dogg]
    Girl... it's easy to love me now
    Would you love me if I was down and out?
    Would you still have love for me?
    Girl... it's easy to love me now
    Would you love me if I was down and out?
    Would you still have love for me?
    Girl...

    Could you love me in a Bentley?
    Could you love me on a bus?
    I'll ask 21 questions, and they all about us
    Could you love me in a Bentley?
    Could you love me on a bus?
    I'll ask 21 questions, and they all about us
