50 Cent's 2nd album "Get Rich or Die Trying" is worthy of all the hype surronding it. Finally 50 has got the backing (Aftermath/Shady), and the beats needed to make an excellent album. 50 has come a long way since "How to Rob", remember first hearing him on "In Too Deep Soundtrack" and I knew then he would blow one day. Underground for a long time, nice to see him drop an album commerically, and see that he hasn't sold out on anything. Executive Produced by Dr. Dre and Eminem, with guest appearances coming from Em, G-Unit members- Young Buck, Tony Yayo and Lyoyd Banks, and the king of sick R&B hooks Nate Dogg. Ninteen tracks total including intro and 3 bonus tracks. Standout tracks for me at the moment are: "Patiently Waiting" Feat. Eminem, "Many Men", lead single "In Da Club", "High All the Time", "If I can't" and the relaxed banging "21 Questions" feat. Nate Dogg" and the adrenaline laced "Gotta Make it to Heaven". The 3 bonus tracks "Wanksta" (8 Mile soundtrack), "U Not Like Me" and "Life's on the Line" close off the album well. Full of tight Production, entertaining lyrics and blazing beats "Get Rich or Die Trying" is one of those albums people are going be bumping for years to come.
