50 Cent was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best New Artist. GET RICH OR DIE TRYIN' was nominated for Best Rap Album. "In Da Club" was nominated for Best Male Rap Solo Performance and for Best Rap Song.
With its inclusion on the mega-successful 8 MILE soundtrack, 50 Cent's "Wanksta" blew up in late 2002, calling out the hypocrisies of wannabe gangstas who boast of criminal exploits that exist only in their imaginations. If anyone has the right to speak it's 50 Cent; he made his mark in the streets (not to mention newspapers) long before Eminem inked the Queens rapper to his Shady Records. In between the occasional single and album, 50 Cent has been involved in many notorious hip-hop confrontations. The too-aptly titled GET RICH OR DIE TRYIN' (which includes "Wanksta") introduces his brash, talk-it-like-he-walks-it rap style to the world at large.
50 Cent blithely cites the Bible in "Many Men (Wish Death)" while crowing about the rival who famously shot him in 2000 only to be shot himself ("cuz he got hit like I got hit and he ain't...breathin'"). From that slice of ultra-reality, he shifts to the dance-pop anthem "In Da Club." Throughout GET RICH OR DIE TRYIN', 50 Cent presents a strikingly original, raw worldview, even by the well-traveled genre's bleak and violent standards.
This Limited version includes a bonus documentary DVD disc.

One word "FIRE!" This cat is bringing the heat unlike no other since Pac and Biggie. I don't even know where to start. From "Patiently Waiting" well worth the wait to "Backdown" it's about time somebody called that Cookie Monster sounding singing m--fker out for what he really is. "In Da Club", nuff said. "P.I.M.P.", what else can I say but, "I ain't that ni@@a trying to holla cause I want some head, I'm that ni@@a trying to holla cause I want some bread, I could care less how she performs when she's in the bed, B--ch hit that track catch a date and come and pay the kid, Look baby this is simple you can't see, you f--king with me you f--king with a P.I.M.P" F--k it I ain't saying no more other than you have got to go cop this classic album. With Dr. Dre lacing this cat with the beats, I know it is only February, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you WILL be hard pressed to find a hotter album than this one this year.
