Editorial Review:
Australian pressing (identical to U.S.) of his smash hit 2003 album features three hidden bonus tracks, 'Wanksta' (from his currently unavailable album, 'No Mercy, No Fear'), 'U Not Like Me' (from his 'Guess Who's Back?' album) & 'Life's On The Line' (from his deleted EP, 'Power Of The Dollar'). Universal.
Description of Get Rich or Die Tryin':
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
Get Rich or Die Tryin' Reviews:
this is some classic sh8t 
2009-08-31 - okay i love wu tang (all of of em u-god, ins, masta) most of the wu tang affliets (killarmy, gravediggaz,cappadona, sunz of man and killah presit) and honestly this album is great now i understand this is very comerical not just the lyrics but the phat beats by dre but it is an undienable classic listen to massacare and curtis and tell me if that bull**** even comes close so this is pretty much 50's only classic lp so far. in the coments tell me the songs you don't like and why you don't like them and maybe i will change my rating so it stays at 3 12 stars
great album
2009-06-12 - one of the best hip hop albums because he lived what he was rapping at the time and his song writing ability is unequaled.
G-Unit
2009-03-08 - This is in my opinion the best rap album of the decade. It is a masterpiece and a MUST have for any hip-hop fan.
What happened 50?
2008-12-09 - This is by far one of my favorite modern rap/hip hop albums. Im talking about 2000-to now, this was before 50 cent became a sellout and and changed his flow. this album is perfect were do i begin, i will tell you this album has great production and amazing hooks. There isnt a song that i felt like skipping when listening to the album. I am not saying 50 cent isnt a good rapper anymore it is just that it doesnt seem like he is trying too hard. Anyway this is a amazing album that you can listen to it over and over and never get tired of it. Let's hope Before I Self Destruct is as good as this one.
The true "G"!
2008-11-09 - This guy is tha bomb! He gets a lot of MTV and BET airplay- meaning that he is more talented than those Beatles clowns. The lyrics are awesome and you can dance to the phat beats. He's so talented he doesn't even need to play an instrument! Beat that! He has amazing flow and is a true rap legend!
