50 Cent's Least Favorite "Get Rich Or Die Tryin'" Track

[LevelUp]

"50 Cent's Get Rich Or Die Tryin' is one of hip-hop's most iconic debuts and albums, for better or worse. It's not as universally beloved as many others in that conversation, but even his haters can't deny the impact and moment that this project in particular provided. However, even the G-Unit mogul has his issues with it, ones that have aged quite interestingly over the years. Moreover, he recently chose what his least favorite track off the record was during an interview with The Rebecca Judd Show on Apple Music 1 in the United Kingdom. Fif's answer will definitely shock you, but it speaks to how well this song has aged.

"‘Many Men’ was my least favorite at that point," 50 Cent revealed during their conversation. "Because, musically we was in the boom-bap phase. We was in that hard-hitting intensity, the energy on the records, and it’s the slowest song on Get Rich or Die Tryin’. And it’s now the tempo that the artists are rapping to. So the fast tempo, hard-hitting beats, that was that era, that time period. And the whole album had it."

"If you had asked me to make a wish in 2003, I would’ve just wished that my music was a hit," 50 Cent continued to Judd, going into his career as a whole. "I didn’t see 20 years ahead in music like that. I’m just that at the moment for it to work. And then what’s cr*zy is most artists, they think they’re ready before they are.

"Most good artists, they’ve thought they were ready before they actually could at it," he concluded. "But they’ve had that window of time to work that allowed them to actually become good enough. That’s why we have one-hit wonders in hip-hop culture. Because when that happens, they have that first hit and then it takes them out of the studio to go perform and to go meet all the distractions to come with being a successful artist. Then they land back in the studio without being trained to know how to create the next song. So they be stuck with that one hit."

I knew he was gonna say Many Men...

50 basically told what happened over this haunting beat.

If 50 died, I wonder how Hip Hop would have turned out??,

[Mac Ten]

I'm asking if 50 died in 2000, who would have took Ja Rule and Murder Inc off the throne??

God left him alive for a reason.


He hid out for a while in the Poconos, started taking over the mixtape game and built his rep back up,got a new label deal, and got the greenlight to finish Ja Rule off after he came at Em.

50 Cent did to Ja what Pac wanted to do to Biggie.

Thats the best song of his career after In da club

 

[Silkk]

He tripping

 

[WaveCapsByOscorp™]

He’s talking about from a sonic standpoint in relation to the whole album and music out at the time.

I feel like that’s his preference and I’m sure he has legit reasons, other than how he explained it because how he explained it made me understand him from the standpoint of someone making art but I’m still not exactly sure what he didn’t like about the song other than how slow it is compared to the rest of the cuts on GRODT.

I mean, you could speed it up and it’ll still be the same song so…

 

[SteelCitySoldier]

Yayo even said this in one of his Vlad interviews, 50 didn’t fukk with it at all

 

[Yinny]

Interesting, one of his best songs on the album

 

[HollywoodP]

probably his best song ever.

For me, you could take off "Like My Style" or "Poor Lil Rich" and i would be great. Those songs are wack af to me.

 

[LuuqMaan]

Best song in that album plus What Up Gangsta.

 

[JayStarwind]

probably his best song ever.

For me, you could take off "Like My Style" or "Poor Lil Rich" and i would be great. Those songs are wack af to me.

"Blood Hound" for me although it's a good transition into "Back Down".

 

[Pop123]

“You like my style” is the most pointless record on there lol, get that off of there, it’s not trash but it’s an instant skip. Many Men might be his best song ever

There’s actually a few ehh joints on Get Rich imo. Like my style, Dont push me, Poor Lil Rich, Bloodhound. None trash…but yeah, they’re okay,

 

[TheDarceKnight]

of course he gives the too cool for school answer

 

[HollywoodP]

"Blood Hound" for me although it's a good transition into "Back Down".

thats the one I came into this thread thinkin 50 would say
