Get Rich OR die Tryin vs The Documentary: Which one has aged better?

[mortuus est]

the doc is better to me, bu ti still like some of the songs on get rich

 

[tweezy]

Get Rich is regarded by many as a classic. I've not seen nearly as strong a case for The Doc.

people only talk about the production when they mention documentary or the songs 50 wrote for him

 

[the cac mamba]

50 didn't have to drop names on every song to fill the gaps


"ohhh shyt, what am i gonna say...?"

oh I see.....

"Dr Dre, Eminem, Jimmy Iovine, Fitty, My mother, Tupac, Ice Cube, Eazy E, Snoop.. thank you for inspiring me"

yea game was nothin special, but 50 wasnt either

i thought the standouts were the impact/buzz of GRODT and the production/cohesiveness of the doc. lyrics arent high on the list for either album. imo of course

I have them both in my modern classics

Not to mention OP asked which album aged better. The Doc sounds dated as fukk. You can't name drop in every track and expect that shyt to remain relevant, let alone timeless.

50 is/was a good songwriter and one of the best hook makers in hip hop history. And the production on Grodt was fantastic

also for the record, 'runnin' off the documentary is one of the worst fukkin songs ive ever heard. that beat is atrocious

 

[Oroko Saki]

I might go with the Documentary but the Massacre sh*ts on both them

 

[FiveShoTz]

the doc wasnt that special at all outside a couple songs

it was only considered a classic because the west was dead at the time, and game was the huge west star

game coulda dropped a album with him singing about eating ass on every song and it wouldb been called a classic

tbh.. its the same shyt for Eminem, those jokes aren't even funny anymore.. These teenagers don't even know who Moby is

I think Eminem's music was a reflection of pop culture at the time though, in ways a lot more original than Game's. I understand what you're saying and to a certain degree acknowledge it, but I think it's outside the scope of this thread.

 

[SpacelySprockets]

The one that the main artist wrote by himself and didnt name drop on every song. And Game was my favorite rapper at that point so both albums are highly regarded by me and special moments in my life, but the energy and lyrical content on GRODT alone blows The Doc out of the water and I say this completely unbiased considering I rate the Doc over most G Unit records albums and I don't even like Game anymore.

yeah I get what you're saying and I agree

 

[Redwing80]

Where I'm From & Put You On The Game has aged really well...

Many Men and Blood Hound sound more modern though

 

[ManBearPig]

Aren't we gonna act like every east coast nikka gonna say GRODT and and West coast nikka are going to lean towards Games shyt
