Incredible track.ġ9*.) Life's On The Line (10/10) - The true final song on the cd, yet another street classic. A good track, but there's better on the cd.ġ8*.) U Not Like Me (10/10) - A street classic, was first released just after 50's last incident being shot. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!ġ7*.) Wanksta (8/10) - First single off the cd. Lloyd Banks is amazing, Eminem is even better in this track than in 'Patiently Waiting,' and 50 is on point ONCE AGAIN.ġ6.) Gotta Make It To Heaven (8/10) - A good track to end off on.
Killer beat.ġ4.) 21 Questions (8/10) - Nate Dogg blessed this track. Would've scored higher, but the track didn't showcase Tony Yayo's talent as it should have.ġ3.) Poor Lil Rich (9.5/10) - An older track given a facelift by amazing new production. (7.5/10) - Misogynistic as hell, but any and every pimp can ride out to this one.ġ2.) Like My Style (8/10) - A hot song. Add in stinging lyrics and a hardcore beat, and you get Back Down.ġ1.) P.I.M.P. Instant classic.ġ0.) Back Down (10/10) WHAT?! TWO CLASSICS IN A ROW?!?!?! Anyone who insults Ja Rule this maliciously deserves respect in my book. Twirl your green up for this joint.Ĩ.) If I Can't (7/10) - Decent song, 50's done better.ĩ.) Blood Hound (10/10) - Oh man. Better than "Wanksta," but not by much.Ħ.) High All The Time (9/10) - One of the best ode's to marijuana in many a year.
One of the best songs on the album.ĥ.) In Da Club (8/10) - Second single off the cd. Possible future single.ģ.) Patiently Waiting (8/10) - A quality song featuring Eminem, who comes through with a rather tight verse.Ĥ.) Many Men (Wish Death) (9.5/10) - Another amazing hook and beat. Here's a quick review for each track on the album.Ģ.) What Up Gangsta (10/10) - An excellent song to start off the album with.
Dalton Higginsįrom the clanging of change in the ominous introductory track to the final fade of the third bonus track, 50 Cent's major label debut has certainly lived up to its gargantuan hype. Sure, Get Rich could never have lived up to the hype, it’s nowhere near Biggie's Ready to Die or Nas's Illmatic, but there's no fast-forward material here, a near miracle in these times. Then again, it seems his most well-known cuts ("High All the Time" and "Wanksta," for example) are actually some of the weakest of the lot. Surprisingly, the two Eminem-produced joints-"Patiently Waiting" (which thematically is very much like Em’s "Lose Yourself"), and "Don’t Push Me"-almost rival the beats supplied by Dre. 2" here, although "Many Men" comes close, as he addresses some of the haters who may not fully get why he’s now rap’s big cheese. He sheds his inner thug on "21 Questions," featuring G-funk crooner Nate Dogg showing some semblance of respect to the hotties, and then reverts right back to his thug persona on "In da Club," where he boasts "I’m into having sex, I ain’t into making love." There’s no "How to Rob, Pt. Instead, Cent brings the heat, not heater. Get Rich is not filled with midtempo, radio-friendly numbers like "Wanksta," his thinly veiled Ja Rule dis first heard on the 8 Mile soundtrack. Dre on production, so it’s a can’t-miss record, right? Well, mostly. Hands down, 50 Cent is the biggest buzz emcee since Eminem (who just happens to be his label CEO), and Get Rich also features Dr. And that’s only what’s happened on 50 Cent’s down time.
