On this day in 2005, 50cent dropped his 2nd album “The Massacre”
At the time 50 and his G-Unit crew were in the midst of a nearly unparalleled run in terms of popularity and impact set in motion with the titanic release of Fif’s debut LP Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ in February 2003. In just two years, 50 Cent, Young Buck, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo and new addition The Game had sold millions of albums, topped every conceivable Billboard chart, released dozens of mixtapes and cultivated a reputation as hip-hop’s most dangerous—and successful—crew, with 50 at its head.
With a film and soundtrack on the way for the end of 2005 and Game’s The Documentary kicking off the year that January with a No. 1 debut, the stage was set for 50 to devastate the industry again.
On this day in 2000, “WWF Smackdown!” released on PlayStation.
A step up from earlier WWF games on PS1, Smackdown lived up to the hype having over 35+ wrestlers and multiple match types serving as the beginning to an amazing series.
