Yeah man, it was nuts. 50 really came through and crushed the buildings with GRODT. I still play the album now and then, and it still sounds dope.

Though IMO Guess Who's Back >> GRODT by a small margin.

I'd rather lose my hearing permanently than bother listening to any of his new sh1t, but GRODT and the mixtapes leading up to it, and a few right after it dropped. :wow: Remember when he said, "Sit tight Jigga, I'm comin!" He wasn't lyin :whew: That was a good time for Hip Hop. I don't care what nobody says either, GRODT is a classic. There's a couple misfires on that album, couple skippable tracks, but when it dropped, it changed the course of everything. Sh1t was like Godzilla sticking his head out the water.

Yeah, musically, I can hardly listen to this now, and if I'm being 100%, 6 months later, outside, maybe three tracks, it wasn't doing much for me then either. But, at the height of 50 frenzy it was crazy, songs were everywhere, I made a little money bootlegging this shyt when it dropped, I had the connect on the getfile, which i shut to my boy who made the cd's, (missing '21 Questions) and we split the money. I thought that was so cool in 11th grade to have the new 50 early....All those songs, plus the '8 Mile'/GUnit shyt were playing out of every car, every xbox, in every hotel party...One of my boys back then would quote 50 like the bible, every life situation, esp. women, he would quote a 50 song or verse...In a conversation about this girl or that girl, he'd just interject 'well yeah dog like 50 said 'you better check her man', or some other lyrics, dude did that for years with 50 and Lil' Wayne, like it was gospel. Memories are stronger then the music, imo.

I couldn't have said it any better. I don't even listen to the album anymore and after the first couple of months it was old to me, especially because I enjoyed the Guess Who's Back and 50 Cent Is The Future mixtapes far more. But I think the most amazing thing about the whole GRODT album is the impact that it had.
