LIVE

On this day in 2003, 50 Cent dropped his debut album “Get Rich or Die Tryin


The hype for 50 was real and from front to back he was on fire helping him debut at number 1 selling 872,000 copies the first week eventually going 9x Platinum.

Just two years later, 50 released The Massacre, selling over 5 million copies, claiming the 21st spot on the list of highest selling rap albums of all time. In that same year, his debut album would later turn into a movie with the same name, Get Rich Or Die Tryin’, providing a visual representation to all of the things 50 spoke about in the album. The early 2000s inevitably earned him the Rookie of the Year award and clearly, this man was no bust.

Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ would receive a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album and only lose to the highest selling album of all time, Outkast’s The SpeakerBoxxx/The Love Below. If any, the well-deserved accolade would be redefining gangsta rap in the early 2000s and simply put, giving us one of the best albums hip-hop has ever seen. So on this day, in all appreciation, we toast up to the birthday of ‘Get Rich Or Die Tryin
