50 Cent
Album : Power of the Dollar
Release Date : Sept 12, 2000

Customer Review :

"50 Cent’s debut EP "Power of the Dollar" (2000) is ill. You know 50 Cent has so much overexposure these days, and with that one cannot help getting tired of hearing tracks like "In Da Club" when they are played excessively on the radio. One of the things I like about 50 is he came up from nothing and made it big, listening to his past work was refreshing. I only came across this release after 50 Cent blew, the first time I heard 50 was on "How to Rob" which was featured on the "In Too Deep Soundtrack", back then my first thoughts were this is most likely a talentless cat just trying to get his fifteen minutes by creating controversy and tearing into other MC’s. Since then my view has changed ,50 Cent does create controversy but at the same time he is an entertaining, hard working, talented and at times humorous artist, who deserved to blow and made it on his own when the record executives turned there back on him.
This EP has a hungry 50 dropping some memorable rhymes, backed by some impressive production. 50 starts the album off strong with early tracks like "The Hit" & "Good Die Young", the later has 50 talking about how close death can be, its all relative especially considering 50 got blasted and almost died just before this one was supposed to drop. "Your Life’s on the Line" is another standout, and 50’s collabration with Bun B "As the World Turns" is a good cut. Laidback "Ghetto Quaran" flows through smoothly, 50 takes things back in his day talking about life in his hood, giving shout outs, and paying tribute to those who passed. 50 reps himself cockily on "Da Repercussions" and drops another solid cut with "Make Money by Any Means".
50 then addresses the ladies who are in it for the money on "Material Girl" and collabrates with Destiny’s Child on the laidback "Thug Love". "Gun Runner" is a grimey track where 50 kicks some gun knowledge and finishes the track with a jack. My favourite track on this album is the excellent title track "Power of the Dollar", the beat, 50 lyrics and chorus all make this a cut to remember. 50 drops some of the rules of the game on "I’m a Hustler", while using Jadakiss and Jay-Z samples. The album closes off with "How to Rob", nowadays I feel this track more, maybe because I know what 50’s about. Overall I highly recommend "Power of the Dollar" to 50 Cent fans, and to those who want to see what 50 Cent was like before he exploded on the Rap scene."
