50 Cent - Get Rich or Die Tryin'

Written by Dawn Olsen
Published May 27, 2003

Eminem's protege, rapper 50 Cent seems to have a very successful cd on his hands. The question is, will he live long enough to enjoy it?

It seems that Curtis Jackson (50 cent's real name) is keepin' it real in an all too real sense. The violence that surrounds his life has forced him to profess to always carrying a loaded weapon and wearing a bulletproof vest. Things only lower level rappers do to seem cool, not survive.

But what about the music? Well, from what I have heard of it - it's rates a three.

Here's what the critics have to say:

ManchesterOnline - "However, 50 Cent may make just as many enemies if his Cent's rant against Ja Rule is anything to go by. One of the few albums where the "shout outs" in the liner notes include "thanks to my parole officer". "

GloriousNoise -"Despite all that, there are some nice moments on Get Rich or Die Tryin'. I like the part in "Patiently Waiting" that goes, "If you're thinking I'm a fucking fall off, you're so wrong," and Eminem's rap in that song sounds great."

Dotmusic - "50 Cent's skills are better suited to the nagging digi-loops of inevitable smash single 'In Da Club', the steel drum roll-out of 'P.I.M.P.' and '21 Questions' - perhaps the track most like something that you might have found Tupac or Biggie at work on in their prime. And, even if it is against your best instincts, you'll find these and plenty more like them hard to resist. Likewise, his tendency to half-sing choruses adds charm and pathos respectively to the lazy style of 'U Not Like Me' and 'Many Men'."

#4 — November 15, 2003 @ 16:25PM — Natalie Davis [URL]

I'd give fitty a three too, Dawn. My teenage daughter loves him to no end, though. I was stunned to think anyone would consider him to be "hot," but Christy says he's smokin'. Different strokes, I guess.

#5 — November 15, 2003 @ 16:28PM — Eric Olsen

maybe he's hot for a little shot-up guy

#6 — November 15, 2003 @ 17:21PM — Natalie Davis [URL]

lol

Even Chris opines that he needs to change his life. Just the other day, she said to me that if he gets shot one more time, she can't imagine him surviving it.

#7 — November 15, 2003 @ 17:33PM — Eric Olsen

Indeed, there are better claims to fame than multiple gunshot wounds. Besides, he'll never catch up to Rasputin.

#8 — November 15, 2003 @ 18:40PM — Natalie Davis [URL]

And he'll never be as good as, say, KRS-One or Tupac or Chuck D. either.

#9 — December 31, 2003 @ 15:01PM — alka

i think 50's smashin'He is awesommme.I think he is the ULTIMATE image of a REAL MAN and i am totally CRAZZZY 'bout him.The way he raps,speaks,carries himself is all so smokin.....i would really love him to be my guy

#10 — December 31, 2003 @ 15:56PM — 50 Cent

Hey. For english class, we needed to send a letter to someone famous, and some stupid wigger desided to do 50 cent, and like the idiot I am, I offered to help find an address to reach him at. If you can find one, post it, or email me.

#12 — January 10, 2004 @ 06:26AM — Sado

Thuggatry in motion, and monochromatic thuggatry at that.

#16 — January 23, 2004 @ 19:17PM — Dwaine AKA Scooter AKA

Whether you like it or not, 50 Cent will be the next rap legend. Just like Tupac, Biggie and Jay-Z. But shit, with all of the beef, guns, vests, harsh remarks, etc., somebody's gonna killed. 50 Cent has beef with many more people than Murder Inc. It could get ugly. And no, I'm not puttin' Fifty on the same level as Tupac, so calm down. But anyway, how bout them Rocafella/Dipset niggas?

#17 — January 29, 2004 @ 05:50AM — em fan 1 [URL]

eminem is god yo! i luv him i luv him yo! eminem is lush i luv him yo so does every1 i no includin j 2 the is O! luvin d12 coz em is in in yo! much luv yo!

peace yall yo

#18 — January 29, 2004 @ 12:03PM — shaun

50 a legend!!?? ahahahahahahahahaha not a fucking chance! what has he brought to the hip hop table besides his repitious shit talking. The only reason he is big is because eminem and dre produced it. anything they touch turns to gold. before them he was nothing, he had already been dropped from a label due to lack of creativity and sales

#19 — January 29, 2004 @ 13:48PM — Dwaine AKA Scooter AKA D.J.

We'll just see what the future holds, Shaun.

#20 — January 29, 2004 @ 15:02PM — shaun

yep

#21 — February 2, 2004 @ 16:12PM — abdullah ratcjiff

I am in third grade and want to send a letter to 50 cent. So what is his address ? THank you.

#22 — February 2, 2004 @ 16:27PM — Wombat

Yea, his music must be great if 3rd grader's love it. em fan1 there are other words besides luv and yo. and I like how everybody talks about his image and who he's with instead of his actual music.

#23 — February 2, 2004 @ 17:05PM — reallygood

50 is alright, but i think he is waaaaaay overexposed. He has talent, I'm not one to hate, and I bumped Get Rich or Die Tryin for a good while. But I think that in a while, all the hype around 50 will die down, and some other rappers, who have a hellofa lot talent (memph Bleek, TI, Dipset) will get their time to shine

#24 — February 14, 2004 @ 04:15AM — tinashe

50cent is so good .let him continue to reign.All the songs in his albums are so nice and intresting to listen to.

#30 — March 1, 2004 @ 04:38AM — Anthony g

I love 50 Cent. He' so fine. Yeah,
I'm gay, but I'm not ashamed to
admit it. I think that gay people
should not be afraid of coming out
of the closet. Anyway, I have a huge
crush on 50 Cent and I want to marry
him. That's why I'm sick of people
saying bad things about gay marriages.
If you go to the Gay Marriage site,
you'll see that I clearly say my opinion on the subject and I'm not
embarrased by it.

I love you, 50!

#31 — March 1, 2004 @ 04:45AM — Rick (Anthony G's brother)

Everyone, this is Anthony G's brother, Rick. I just want you to know that he is not lying or nobody is impersonating him, my brother Anthony REALLY IS gay. But don't start talking shit and making fun of him, or else I'll find you and kick your asses! My brother may be gay, but he has feelings. In fact, he cries his eyes out when people say nasty things to him! I'm sick of it!
Anyway, yeah, 50 Cent is one hard, nigga! Thug life!

#32 — March 1, 2004 @ 07:57AM — Dawn

Good for you dawg!!! Wear your gay flag with pride and don't let no one tell you different, even if 50 cent tries to bust a cap in yo' ass.

#33 — March 1, 2004 @ 13:13PM — Josh

Don't listen to Anthony G everyone, he is a fake. I know him from the 50 Cent and Ja rule site and I have not seen anyone more straight than him.

You people know what, I want to make an anoouncement: I am coming out of the closent. Anthony G who is the real gay man now.

#34 — March 1, 2004 @ 13:18PM — Anthony G

Yeah you got me I ain't gay. I was just kidding around. I hate gays, which means something now, huh.

Obviuosly you are the gay guy now, dogg.

#35 — March 1, 2004 @ 13:24PM — Rick

Nah I lied I am not Anthony's brother, I found out that he wasn't gay and Josh was. Josh good luck in the outside the closet.

#36 — March 1, 2004 @ 16:27PM — Josh

I had no idea that you were gay, Anthony.

#37 — March 2, 2004 @ 21:26PM — Queen Of The South

Hi Curtis, I really admire your ability to be sensual yet masculine. When I listened to your very first album(before you were BIG) I knew you were someone that I could definitly vibe with. You inspired me to continue writing, freestyling, and making beats. I would be honored if you would please take time out your busy schedule (like I'm taking out of mine) to just email me. I would love to be a friend of yours. Even if you were broke because it's not about your money, It's all about your mind. Write me at queen_of_d_south@yahoo.mail

#38 — March 3, 2004 @ 01:48AM — Josh

Anthony's poor impersonation of his own brother (comment 35) is more proof that he is a lowlife.

#39 — March 7, 2004 @ 10:28AM — TINA & MAJA [URL]

HY!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!! YOU RAP THE BEST!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!
BY THE WAY I'M FROM CROATIA.....

Hi fifty, you are someone using your name left an e-mail comment on www.baconclan.org web site last year 2003, stating you were sorry you were not at the family reunion. If this was you, please send me an e-mail. If you are part of our family we would like to know it and to know how you are connected to the family. Thank you.

#44 — March 18, 2004 @ 15:27PM — ya mom

u r all gays n i seriously doubt that 50 cent would want gay fans n infact i think he would rather hav no money at all n sell no records than hav bender fans, coz he rules!

#45 — March 18, 2004 @ 16:51PM — Eric Olsen

i hurd fiddy and ja rule are getting married in SF

#46 — March 18, 2004 @ 16:55PM — Craig Lyndall [URL]

I don't want to honor that guy's post, but honestly what are "bender fans?" I haven't heard that slur before. Am I just ignorant to this "slam?"

#47 — March 18, 2004 @ 16:57PM — Eric Olsen

Based upon context, my guess is "gay"

#48 — March 18, 2004 @ 17:00PM — Craig Lyndall [URL]

I gathered that, I was just curious because I haven't heard that one before and it's origin isn't immediately apparent to me from reading it.

wow I thought 50cent was gay. His looks and actions lead me to the conclusion that he was either european or gay and he did not have the acitent so I assumed he was gay. I'm still not convenced that he is not gay. Eminem is his wife is he not? I think I read that somewhere. They make a nice couple.

#66 — October 30, 2005 @ 10:11AM — Middle School Teacher

Dear Curtis Jackson (AKA “Fifty Cent”),
It is unfortunate that you encourage young people to turn to a life of gang violence and drugs. I teach at a Title One school, which serves a majority of inner city African-American students living in projects. They have little hope for a good future except by get themselves out of poverty through education, hard work, and self-determination.
I have a most difficult time motivating and teaching my students learn to read when all they do is look up to you as their hero. I have given my students reading logs to document what they read at home. They've literally thrown them on the ground and refuse to do work at home or at school. They do listen to your lyrics night after night and idolize how to get something for nothing. They act like little thug wannabes.
You are NOT a hero; you profit on the backs of our youth who see the easy way out, refuse to better themselves, and thus perpetuate the cycle of poverty.
I challenge you to come out to my school. I challenge you to give your blood-money profits to scholarships and to the Title One public schools of America.
You could be a positive influence to our youth that REAL men support their families, get an education, get real honest jobs and help others in their community. You could be a positive influence to have our youth turn away from the violent, easy life of drug dealers. You could tell the youth of America what life is really all about. I know you won't, Curtis, because you are a shameful, shallow profiteering coward.

#67 — November 3, 2005 @ 20:46PM — MISSTOYA21

FIRST OF ALL I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THIS TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHER WHO CLAIMS THAT 50 CWNT IS A SHAMEFUL AND PITIFUL PERSON THAT SHOULD NOT BE IDOLIZED. FIRST OF ALL I AM TIRED OF HEARING THAT MY BEAUTIFUL BLACK MEN HAS BENN SHOT DOWN BECAUSE OF 50 CENT OR ANT OTHER GANFSTA RAPPER THAT IS IN THE INDUSTRY.

IT IS NOT 50 CENTS FAULT THAT THESE YOUNG AFRICAN AMERICAN CHILDREN are not reading and are still living in poverty that you say are near the projects. it is the geverment's fault that we don't have a choice to be moved out into a better and safer environment and given a chance to have new books and desk on our tables it your fault.

Have you ever thought about that the music is our only way to escape the madness that we are surrounded by and 50 cent is one of them. Mayebe if you take the time and listen to some of 50's interviews you would know that he himself is intelligent and he also overcame things that were unhealthy to his lifestyle and now look where he at HE'S RICH! mayebe if you move out to a shall i say white neighborhood then mayebe they will refuse to do there work because of listening to emenem and for the record he is white and made 50 famouse so before you judge the cover read the book first
50 i love you and always will

#68 — November 10, 2005 @ 06:04AM — romeo [URL]

50-CENT sucks! Rap sucks! And he's ugly as crap.

#72 — November 22, 2005 @ 18:30PM — bunghole [URL]

I'll bet that comment #69 wasn't really written by 50-cent. It's probably someone playing a joke. And 50-cent, if it really was you, you suck!!!

#73 — November 24, 2005 @ 02:55AM — Selly Sel From Red Hook!! [URL]

Hello: I Just wanted to say that i have mad love for 50, and i am so sorry for all the things he had to endure as a young child .but it's good to see the man he turned out to be.. People say he does'nt love or respect women but that's bull!! he loved his mother and kept her memory alive. Despite what she did.. She loved her son and was there for him.. She made sure he had always!! I am a 38 year old mother of five sons, and the oldest being 20 and i saw the movie and it really touched me, I now look at 50 in a different light not saying i never liked him or respected him but the way i look at him is in a totally different perspective.. God Bless you 50, and i wish you all the best in life and much continued success in everything you do.. I'll continue to pray for you always.. oh and by the way my five year old thinks he's you and thinks he looks like you too, even though we're Puerto-Rican and Brazilian, But that's okay i tell him what he wants to hear(smile)..Take Care of Yourself..Selly

#78 — December 12, 2005 @ 03:29AM — FIFTY=YTFIF [URL]

I'VE READ EVERY COMMENT ON HERE. I LOVE THE RESPONSES. I'M A PRODUCT OF MY ENVIORNMENT LIKE FIFTY-CENT.

I GREW UP, IN POOR WHITE NEIGHBOR HOODS. I'VE NEVER MADE MORE THAN 20K A YEAR. I LIVE IN MY PARENTS BASEMENT AND I'M A MARRIED MAN.

FIFTY-CENT, G-UNIT, DR. DRE, EMENIEM, N.W.A., TOO-SHORT, MA$E, B.I.G. [RIP], TU-PAC, DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR., MALCOM X, DENZEL, ICE-CUBE, EAZY E, MC REN, SNOOP DOGGY, AND MOHOMAD ALI, ARE MY HERO'S.

I LOOK UP TO THESE CATS, BECAUSE THEY HAVE OVERCOME THEIR ENVIRONMENT, AND HAVE CREATED. I AM AN ARTIST LIKE THESE GENTALMEN. I SHOW RESPECT TO THEM, BY STANDING UP AND FIGHTING FOR "GOOD". FIFTY CENT, WANTS OTHER CATS TO SUCEED JUST LIKE HE HAS...AND HE IS GIVING OUT BLUEPRINTS TO SUCESS.

THE MOVIES LIKE "HUSTLE AND FLOW", "GET RICH OR DIE TRYIN'", "NEW JACK CITY", "BOYz IN DA HOOD", "MENINCE TO SOCIETY", "COLORS", "SCARFACE" ECT, ARE ALL REFLECTIONS OF REAL LIFE. ART IMITATING LIFE, AND LIFE IMITATING ART.

MY GRANDMOTHER WAS BORN IN COMPTON CALIFORNIA IN 1920. SHE LIVED THEIR UNTIL 1938 WHEN SHE ENTERED WORLD WAR II. WHEN SHE RETUNRED FROM THE WAR, SHE LIVED THERE, UNTIL SHE MARRIED MY GRANDFATHER AND THEY MOVED TO ANAHEIM (PRE-DISNEYLAND). I HAVE VISITED HER HOUSE IN COMPTON, CA.

I WALK WITH NO FEAR, BECAUSE OF THESE PIONEERS. AND THIS IS WHAT I ADMIRE THE MOST ABOUT THESE GENTALMEN, THEY "TRY". MOST CATZ STAND ON THE SIDLINES AND WATCH, AND THESE GUYS MAKE THINGS HAPPEN, AND THAT IS WHAT PISSES MOST PEOPLE OFF, IS THAT THEY CANT EVEN GET THE COURAGE UP TO "TRY".

I'M NOBODY, BUT EVEN A NOBODY IS "SOMEBODY".

AND THAT TEACHER THAT COMENTED...ARE YOU FOR REAL?

FIFTY CENT NEVER ONCE SAYS "GO SHOOT AND KILL AND ROB AND STEAL." HE SAYS "HERE IS WHAT I HAVE DONE, THIS IS A STORY OF MY LIFE, IN MY ART. IN MY MUSIC." HE IS NOT ASKING ANYONE TO DO ANYTHING BUT LOVE HIM....

EVOL=LOVE

EVOLVE....FREE YOUR MIND WITH THE UNIVERSIAL LANGUAGE OF "MUSIC".

Hey
Some of you people are dumb. You guy's are saying how 50 cent suck's and how he'll never amont to anything and how he's not a legend well your wrong because he practically is a legend and if he can't rap why is he richer than any of you people? Answer that. Exactly you can't so shut up 2 pac Ja rule Nas all them only care about money and crap but 50 care's about alot more than money that's why he turned around and became a rapper instead fo going back to drug dealing he cares about his son too. I'm out PEACE
HOLLA

I hate fifty cent because he is gay and his music is whack. It isn't his fault that those kids aren't doing their work, but he sure does contribute. Also,#67
MISSTOYA21 dont bring the government into this if you cant even spell it. 50 cant rap, all he "raps" about is sex, drugs, and murder. Also, seriously, don't compare him to 2pac, because 2pac, could actually make music.

I have seen horses with smaller teeth than his.

#82 — December 23, 2005 @ 09:48AM — doomroom

1) He only has the brain power to talk about drugs,murder,sex and money..like that has'nt been done?
2)He has no lyrical talent or rapping talent
3)Hes only rich,because eminem and dre produce'd him..full stop!
4)hes such a gangsta he stars in the tv show "the simpsons"
5)Get over the hype aint nobody tryin to kill him
6)No one forced him to sell drugs,then he goes and talks about how hard his life is..why could'nt he go to college that the state pays for..why? coz hes just greedy.
7)He brings a shame to other black people...black people are better than all that.
8)He promotes violence.
9)hes ugly as hell.looks like a monkey
and 10) Thanks to all your stupid uneducated dumb silly boys and girls..u just made a lazy,greedy selfish time wasting faggot rich!!..give yourself a pat on the back. im out,peace holla holla..yo yo im out yo check game yo holla y'll much love much love yo im out,holla holla

fuck ya'll 50 cent is hot and he can rap so you need to shut the fuck up ok by the time he is done rapping he will sell more cd's then ANYONE and I love when someone said "Eminem's protege, rapper 50 Cent seems to have a very successful cd on his hands. The question is, will he live long enough to enjoy it?" and my answer to that is hell yeah he literally has 9 lives and I admire him for coming from queens new york and comin out living and not a drug dealer!!! I admire his mother too for living in queens and taking care of her son as much as she could!!

#87 — January 7, 2006 @ 17:31PM — Ashlyn -n- Miranda

Guys, i hope you realize when you're posting comments, like fiddy, fiddy email me at bla, bla, bla or whatever that he isn't going to be even looking at this forum, i'm sure he has MUCH better things to do, and he is likely to be, recording/writing new music for his new album (which was supposed to be coming out July 18th, but got postponed because Eminem thought it wasn't good timing)or touring, or out with friends, not google searching everything on the internet that features the word '50 cent' in it. Most of you fans that are like, Yo, Fiddy, I wanna suck ur dick, yeah email me! You are fat, dumb bitches and SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Thanks for reading this post, and have a nice day biatches!

And remember, shut the fuck up, you 'gay' fans!
I'm a fan of fiddy but it pisses me off to see you guys.

I think that fifty is a brave and strong man. I love his music and it gives me inspiration even now. I recently an getting better from a severe car wreck and his music is the only thing that has continued to give inspiration and strength. I hope he even continues to do his thing and make that money . To me he is the perfect man if you can survive what he been through and, do what he has done shut your trap. I wish I could meet him.
