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 2009, Drake dropped his 3rd mixtape “So Far Gone”
Even though it wouldn’t become an official commercial album until seven months later, the project captured the attention of the music world in the same way a major release would due to its blockbuster rollout and mesmerizing production.
If College Dropout was your soundtrack to the start of highschool, So Far Gone carried you into your freshman year. From production, to lyrics, to features, Drake floated into this entire tape from top to bottom and solidified himself as one of the new artist to have on your radar
On this day in 1996, 2Pac dropped his 4th album “All Eyez On Me”
The album featured five singles with two topping number one on the Billboard Hot 100; “How Do U Want It” and “California Love”. It made Hip Hop history as the first double-full-length solo Hip-Hop studio album released.
It was the second album from Tupac Shakur to hit number one on both the Billboard 200 and the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts, selling 566,000 copies in the first week.
On this day in 1995, 2Pac dropped “Me Against The World”
This album came at one of the most pivotal times in ‘Pac’s life and career. Recorded shortly after his near-fatal assassination attempt in New York and released while he was in prison, this album marked a change in 2Pac as an artist and a man. Much less high energy than the tracks from his previous album Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z…, this album showed genuine reflection on his life and career path as an artist along with shining light on some of his personal struggles with paranoia and self-loathing.
Debuting at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart, the album has been certified double platinum selling over 3.5 million copies in the United States alone.
On this day in 2007, Rich Boy dropped his self titled debut album.
With “Throw Some D’s” being played everywhere, songs like “On The Regular”, “And I Love”, and “Lets Get This Paper” helped this debut at number 3 selling 112,000 copies first week
