Pros: Production
Cons: His rhyme skills
50 Cent is today's hot guy. He's the guy who everyone is pointing to as the next ICON in hip hop. But it's really sad if that is the case. 50 Cent has a nice charisma, but after that, he's pretty much standard fare. I've been hearing of him for at least...

Pros: 50 Cent is a great hookwriter in a stable of A-grade producers.
Cons: 50 Cent only regurgitates the gangsta-rap template; half the album could have been shaved off.
Nowadays, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson can barely even score a hit, let alone sell millions of copies of an album with ease. But more than half a decade ago, as a new addition under the wings of a legendary hip-hop producer (Dr. Dre) and the world’s ...

by madtheory - Top 100, Feb 11 '03
Pros: A couple of bangers.
Cons: Mostly more unimaginative thug rap.
The unbelievable hype surrounding Get Rich Or Die Trying is irrefutable evidence that those nine bullets that slammed into the body of New York rapper 50 Cent back in 1999 were a blessing in disguise. Though he sparked an interest...

Pros: production is flawless - okay, not flawless but it's damn good
Cons: average rhymes, average flow
I’ve always been mildly amused at the beef between Ja Rule and new rap phenom 50 Cent, ...

Pros: Some solid tracks, powered by the production. A few glimpses of talent.
Cons: Mostly generic thug stuff you've heard a million times before, 50 is an awful emcee.
If you haven’t yet heard of 50 Cent, then you will very soon. Who is he? Well, he’s basically the latest emcee to blow the f--k up (I’m stealing one of my favourite lines of Evidence from Dilated Peoples there), with his second s ...

Pros: Nice beats
Cons: Not so nice lyrics
By now, most everyone knows the story of Curtis Jackson, better known as 50 Cent. A former drug hustler in Queens, NY, 50 escaped the drug game and went into rapping, making his name on various underground recordings, most especially the underground hit...

by broomqueesha - Top 1000, Oct 06 '03
Pros: Excellent production and some clever rhymes.
Cons: Radio-friendly and sounds like everything we've heard from hip-hop already.
The Main Idea: In early 2003, Shady Records' own 50 Cent released his latest effort, Get Rich Or Die Tryin', to a chorus of critical and commercial applause. I bought the record after hearing its infectious lead single and was definitely ...

by DVON - Top 1000, Feb 07 '03
Pros: At the most, two listenable tracks.
Cons: The rest of the album is absolute garbage.
50 Cent is one of the newest sensations. After being shot nearly twenty times back in 1999 and never releasing his debut album entitled Power Of The Dollar in the same year as that particular incident, it was two years later that he released his...

by Acarian , Feb 07 '03
Pros: Lots of featured rappers, pimped out beats courtesy of Dre.
Cons: Some weak lyrics, wanksta... cockyness
"Joy wouldn't feel so good if it wasn't for pain."
It is a quote said by 50cent. This rapper is straight out of the streets of Queens, New York. He has been in the rap game for more than a while and it is about time this rapper get...

Pros: Ja Rule gets a deserved beating. The rapper is likeable...
Cons: ...his unintelligent rapping definitely is not.
After witnessing the rise of Curtis Jackson – better known as 50 Cent – I can picture this conversation occurring somewhere in the nether realms of Yonkers:
Tyler: Hey Keshon, c’mere wit cho gat! Can you shoot me right...

by aesopfable - Top 1000, Nov 22 '03
Pros: Eminem appearances, some good production.
Cons: Some bad production, Thug, misogynist, materialistic lyricism, 50 Cent might be the worst rapper around.
Over the last year 50 Cent has gone from “Kurtis Jackson” the crack dealer from South Side Queens, to the biggest portion of commercialism garbage and Eminem’s new protégé. You can just imagine the looks on the C.E.O’s faces ...

Pros: Humorous at times, Good Production Moments, Some Solid Tracks, Eminem Appearances, No Skits
Cons: Simplistic and Terribly-Written Rhymes, Horrible Subject Matter, Commercialism, Lack of Creativity, Cliche, Boring

by afterburn , Nov 29 '03
Pros: A few decent tracks. And when I say a FEW, I mean it. Eminem's appearance.
Cons: 50 Cent mumbles too much. Horrible lyrics. Mostly whack beats.
Dear Curtis Jackson aka 50 Cent aka Ferrari aka Fiddy aka Mumbling Jackass: How are you doing? Excellently, I presume, considering over the past year your album has sold well over 6 million copies, and you seem to be enjoying yourself in all of your ...

by MagnumForce - Top 1000, May 21 '03
Pros: Sing songy, hits it's target.
Cons: Not exactly the 'purist' hip hop album. A bit TOO calculated.
Reviewing albums tends to be a difficult undertaking, and albums like this one are almost always the hardest to review properly.
What do I mean by that?
Well, it's quite simple- a lot of times, it's easy to dismiss pop albums off...
