Get Rich or Die Tryin' (album)
''Get Rich or Die Tryin'' is the debut studio album of American rapper 50 Cent. It was released on February 4, 2003, by Aftermath Entertainment, under a joint venture with Shady Records, and distributed by Interscope Records. Its initially planned release was pushed seven days ahead due to heavy bootlegging and Internet leakage. The album featured production from Dr. Dre and Eminem, and featured guest appearances from Eminem and then-newcomers Young Buck, Lloyd Banks, and Tony Yayo from G-Unit.
The album debuted at number one on the US ''Billboard'' 200 chart, selling 872,000 copies in its first week. It generated four singles, including the number one hits "In da Club" and "21 Questions", and the international hit "P.I.M.P." By July 2014, ''Get Rich or Die Tryin'' has sold 8.3 million copies in the United States and is certified 8× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Upon its release, the album received positive reviews from most music critics and was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, losing to OutKast's ''Speakerboxxx/The Love Below'' at the 46th Grammy Awards. It ranked number 37 on ''Rolling Stone''s list of best albums of the 2000s.
== Background ==
Prior to the release of his mix-tape, Curtis Jackson was shot 9 times in Queens, New York. He managed to survive, but was dropped from his label, Columbia, and remained unsigned and in need of producing new music. In 2002, Eminem listened to a copy of 50 Cent's ''Guess Who's Back?'' mixtape album through Jackson's attorney, who was working with Eminem's manager Paul Rosenberg.〔Ninja (December 2002). (50 Cent Interview ). Dubcnn. Accessed May 22, 2007〕 After being impressed with the mixtape, Eminem invited 50 Cent to Los Angeles where he was introduced to producer Dr. Dre.〔Touré (April 3, 2003). "(The Life of a Hunted Man )". ''Rolling Stone''. Accessed July 6, 2007.〕 50 Cent signed a one million dollar record deal with Dr. Dre and released his next mixtape, ''No Mercy, No Fear''. It featured the ''8 Mile'' single, "Wanksta", which was later put on ''Get Rich or Die Tryin''. Both Eminem and Dr. Dre had started working-productions on his debut album with additional help from producers Mike Elizondo, Sha Money XL among others. The first single "In da Club" was the first of seven tracks he recorded in five days with Dr. Dre. Eminem was featured on a couple songs, such as "Patiently Waiting" and "Don't Push Me". His songs also featured rappers within G-Unit, such as Lloyd Banks ("Don't Push Me"), Tony Yayo ("Like My Style"), or Young Buck ("Blood Hound").
The next single "21 Questions" was not in line to be on the album to Dr. Dre, he stated that he did not want the song on the album. According to 50 Cent, "Dre was, like, 'How you goin' to be gangsta this and that and then put this sappy love song on?'"〔Allison Samuels, February 21, 2007. (The Flip Side of 50 Cent ). ''MSNBC''. Accessed July 7, 2007.〕 50 Cent responded saying, "I'm two people. I've always had to be two people since I was a kid, to get by. To me that's not diversity, it's necessity."〔 "Back Down" and "Heat" were instrumentals originally composed by Dr. Dre. They were both originally intended to be used on Rakim's debut Aftermath album, ''Oh My God,'' but due to creative differences was not released. Early pressings of ''Get Rich or Die Tryin included a limited edition bonus DVD.
