Lmao... What didn't u understand son?

I never recalled anyone referring to him as a snitch prior to Game. Only time I ever heard it before that was from my father when he was speculating as to why the kid only got a couple months in boot camp for selling crack. All hearsay

Im a young nikka so 50 cent back when I was in the 6th grade was my first real introduction to being a fan of hiphop and listening to albums and shyt and not what was on the radio.

Me and my brother were huge 50 stans back then. We bought GRODT AND The Gunit Album. This was right before I found about limewire and SOHH so those were the only hiphop albums Ive EVER purchased. Its such a shame what 50 has become, I dont even listen to him anymore. Looking back that falloff was eminent tho, that nikka was TOO BIG for his own good and started beefing with EVERYBODY that would do a song with Ja

Here's my first experience of 50. I remember reading an article about Em signing a dude named 50 cent, and I remember after that I was trying to download that J-LO/Nas record that was out at the time but the version I downloaded had 50 on it. That was the original version and that was the first song I heard from him.

After that I came across a link to a freestyle by 50 over Eminem's "Soldier" beat and thinking it was dope. So on one Sunday morning I went to this flea market that my mom and I always went to on Sundays and they sold bootleg cd's and shyt... and they had No Mercy, No Fear... I copped it and I remember the first time I listened to it.. the shyt was amazing.. that tape to me is more classic than GRODT itself. I bumped the hell out of that tape during the summer of 02. Like one dude before mentioned when I first heard the tape I didn't know which one was Banks, which one was Yayo and who they were on the cover.

To me, even though 50 was signed to Em, I never actually expected him to blow up and be a huge star.. I remember sleeping on the couch one morning and my little brother waking me up and saying "50 Cent's on MTV.." and looking at the TV and seeing the Wanksta video for the first time.. and to me it was like a moment. It was seeing someone who was up until that point an underground artist that it seemed only I at least in my area was listening to actually cross over to the mainstream and that was dope. I know he was was getting mad love and play over NY and shyt, but for me it was like seeing that one artist that you thought you discovered finally break through.

That makes a lot more sense

Irv and Ja went onto the Hot 97 morning show at the time and called 50 a snitch, said he rolled with police. Irv even read the order of protection stemming from the Hit Factory stabbing.

And then 50 released this:
