He's been shot nine times. Incarcerated. And stabbed up and down. And that's only what's happened on 50 Cent's down time. Hands down, 50 Cent is the biggest buzz emcee since Eminem (who just happens to be his label CEO), and Get Rich also features Dr. Dre on production, so it's a can't-miss record, right? Well, mostly. Get Rich is not filled with midtempo, radio-friendly numbers like "Wanksta," his thinly veiled Ja Rule dis first heard on the 8 Mile soundtrack. Instead, Cent brings the heat, not heater. He sheds his inner thug on "21 Questions," featuring G-funk crooner Nate Dogg showing some semblance of respect to the hotties, and then reverts right back to his thug persona on "In da Club," where he boasts "I'm into having sex, I ain't into making love." There's no "How to Rob, Pt. 2" here, although "Many Men" comes close, as he addresses some of the haters who may not fully get why he's now rap's big cheese. Surprisingly, the two Eminem-produced joints--"Patiently Waiting" (which thematically is very much like Em's "Lose Yourself"), and "Don't Push Me"--almost rival the beats supplied by Dre. Then again, it seems his most well-known cuts ("High All the Time" and "Wanksta," for example) are actually some of the weakest of the lot. Sure, Get Rich could never have lived up to the hype, it's nowhere near Biggie's Ready to Die or Nas's Illmatic, but there's no fast-forward material here, a near miracle in these times. --Dalton Higgins

I don't like this guy's music very much but it's good to see African Americans with Down Syndrome making the jump into entertainment. This guy could be the Chris Burke of the Afro-American movement. Keep up the good work, buddy! We are all very proud of you!

2) Turning Monotony into an art form   [Rating: 5 out of 5]

3) 9 times eh?   [Rating: 1 out of 5]
who is this shorty 50 cent keeps speaking of? in my opinion 50 cent can't rap or think of a good name imma go into the same buisness and my name will be "dollar" so ill be worth more than 50 cent as a matter of fact....twice as much. so yea my album will be known as get richer than 50

5) I'm Pickled For Sure!   [Rating: 1 out of 5]
Ha ha ha!!! They call this music!. Mozart would turn in his grave to hear that this is what it has come to. WHERE'S THE DEPTH??? Ok, I'm just writting this to be hated by all you 'hip' people,(blinging, init, youknowwhatImean) but I'm really enjoying myself. If you want music I advise you go and by Thick As A Brick by Jethro Tull or something even remotely decent. How has music come to this. Pre-programmed instuments, 50 Cent swearing at every possible oppertunity and bland songs. I pity you poor fools for liking this! I'm in for it now...
