Album Description
"Music from and Inspired by the Motion Picture Get Rich or Die Tryin'" features all-new music from 50 Cent and the entire stable of artists on his G Unit Records imprint. The first single, "Window Shopper," is a track that exposes the mentality of a rapper who can't afford to buy the things he wants and feels he deserves. It also serves as a focal point for some of the movies most poignant scenes. Earlier, the album track "Hustler's Ambition" was dropped to give people a taste of what to expect from the soundtrack. Its grimy nature takes you back to where it all began, the hungry streets of Queens. DJs across the country are spinning this track uncontrollably in the clubs.

"I created the music for the soundtrack while I was actually filming the movie. I had a studio trailer with me and would record every day between takes," comments 50 Cent. "I keep telling you, I'm the hardest working man alive." 50 Cent executive produced the album. Sha Money XL is co-executive producer with Dr. Dre and Hi-Tek providing further production. Mase, Nate Dogg and newly signed G Unit members Mobb Deep and M.O.P are also featured on the album.

50 Cent - Get Rich or Die Tryin' Soundtrack November 8, 2005
58 out of 74 found this review helpful

50 Cent's latest musical release is the "Get Rich Or Die Tryin'" (2005) Soundtrack. 50 (AKA Curtis Jackson) enlisted the whole G-Unit Family for this one with Lloyd Banks, Spider Loc, Young Buck, M.O.P., Olivia, Tony Yayo, Mase and Mobb Deep all making appearances. R & B hook singer Nate Dogg also makes an appearance. I feel like 50 Cent & Co dug deep when creating this release, almost like he rewound the clock some years back to when he was an unknown delivering raw music. The album's opener "Hustler's Ambition" is blazing hot, 50 rhymes with hunger, while lacing the track with his own impressive chorus, the end result is a premium cut. The follow up track "What If" is a more laidback, 50 lays questions down while talking about other rappers and singers, a minor snub is sent AZs way. Lloyd Banks and Spider Loc then team up with 50 Cent for the grimy "Things Change". Backed by a pounding beat 50 then collabs with Young Buck and Banks on "You Already Know". 50 teams up with M.O.P. for the outstanding, "When Death Becomes You" one of those tracks that you blast in the whip. Next two cuts are average and have 50 collabing with Mobb Deep and Olivia, and then Young Buck delivers a standout on solo with "Don't Need No Help" dropping his opinion of the law. I am not a big Yayo fan, but he surprised me delivering an excellent track with "Fake Love", feeling the lyrics and beat to this cut. 50 provides another solid track with "Window Shopper", some people may have heard an unofficial version of this one which has 50 calling out Ja Rule, Nas, Jadakiss and Fat Joe. Lloyd Banks provides another thugged out track with "Born Alone, Die Alone" while Havoc and Prodigy collab with 50 again for "You a Shooter". The album's biggest collaboration has 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Prodigy, Spider Loc and Mase working together for "I Don't Know Officer". 50 then puts himself in the perspective of people (enemies, relatives, his son) he knows or knew delivering their opinions on him with "Talk About Me". "When It Rains It Pours" is laced with a sad sounding beat, and has 50 talking to a lil homie. The upbeat "Best Friend" follows, 50 sings to a lady on a smooth track that reminds me of past ballads of his. The album closes off with another banger as 50 and Young Buck tag team "I'll Whip Ya Head Boy". My favourite tracks on this one are "Hustler's Ambition" and "When Death Becomes You". Overall I think the "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" Soundtrack will accompany the movie well; I recommend this release to fans of 50 Cent and G-Unit.

Get Rich or Die Tryin is off the hook November 9, 2005

I kno we all miss the 2pac and biggie days, but get over it. Stop comparing every rapper with 2pac or biggie. We all kno that they were the best and will always be the best, but im just sick and tired of hearing the same sh*t over and over again about how pac and big are better than the current day rap stars. I dont think any rapper out(Except Jay-Z & EM) has the ability to flow like 50 over the beat and the hook of the song (I think 50 proves that with this album). 50 Cent did an awsome job on this album, especially with the songs that include the unheard members of g unit like spider-loc and the newest member, mase. Beats on this album are awsome and to think he did all of this album while filming. I think he has proven to be the hardest working man in Rap and Hip Hop.

Favorite songs:
-"You already know" (awsome beat and 50's flow is untouchable)
-"I dont know officer" (great beat and you get to hear some of the unheard members on g unit)
-"When it Rains It Pours" (SICK hook and awsome beat)
-*EXTRA TRACK* "Best Friend" (Once again, 50's flow is untouchable)
-"Dont Need No Help" (Bucks solo song, bout how he doesnt like the police (Whats new?)
-"Window Shopper" (Song is basically bout how not to hate the player but to hate the game)

I see one review saying to stop leaving reviews by a kid. Well i am trying to send a message to rap fans that this is not rap and 50 cent will never be a rapper in my eyes because he is pop and not even close to gangsta. 50 cent (...) and always will (...).
