On the cover of Get Rich or Die Tryin’, 50 Cent essentially looks like a superhero—but if anything, the album was an origin story for one of rap’s all-time great supervillains. 50 learned the ropes under the mentorship of Run-DMC’s Jam Master Jay, landed a deal with Columbia Records, and built a buzz with single “How to Rob” before being hit with nine bullets outside of his grandmother’s home in Queens. After he recovered, his legendary mixtape run with his G-Unit crew reworked the hit rap and R&B records of the time, adding his own deadpan, street-savvy choruses. When it came time for 50’s studio debut, those powers were on full display and his resources were abundant. “In Da Club” was an inescapable party starter, and “Many Men (Wish Death)” revisits his nearly fatal shooting, triumphantly boasting about his survival.- Apple Music
