Today in 2002 50 Cent was released who do you think is back?his first official mixtape following P.dollar bill LP from the indie imprint of Full Clip Records.
It was this offering that put Curtis Jackson in the public eye. Ultimately, the project gained traction through Eminem’s attorney/manager Paul Rosenberg, and Shady was eventually signed to 50 Cent and Shady Records/Interscope, and a new hip-hop icon was born.
guess who’s back It featured work by the Trackmasters, Clark Kent and Sha Money Xl and featured street anthems such as “Your Life’s On The Line”. He also has a controversial song, “Ghetto Qu’ran,” which allegedly led to his fatal shooting in 2000.
The album, which charted on Billboard, set the G-Unit era and forged a long career that continues today. 50 Cent released his debut mega ‘Get Rich Or Die Tryin” from Interscope, becoming a top sold-out artist on his charts and live shows.
Kudos to Fif for delivering a timeless and essential piece of hip-hop history.
