Album Spotlight: 50 Cent - Get Rich Or Die Trying

-
There was no star bigger in 2003 than 50 Cent; well unless you count Beyonce but that's not what this is about. 50 Cent was clearly the break out star of 2003. His debut album; 'Get Rich Or Die Trying' is certified 8x platinum here in the US. The album spawned many hit singles including 'In Da Club'. The song would prove to be a popular anthem particularly at birthday celebrations with the popular line "go shawty its your birthday!".

There was a very huge buzz surrounding this album and with good reason and me being the person I am; I didn't buy into the hype right away. Though I didn't know anyone who didn't have this album at the time of its release. My nephew was playing this album everyday and before you know it; he had it memorized.

The video for second single; '21 Questions' featured 50 Cent kissing Meagan Goode and next thing you know people thought they were dating. Other videos released included 'P.I.M.P.' and 'Many Men'; which is one of my personal favorites from the album.

50 Cent's 'Get Rich Or Die Trying' goes down as a rap classic and will go down in history as one of raps most successful albums. So if its been awhile since you listened to this album; do yourself a favor and pop it in and relive those memories of when you first heard 'Get Rich Or Die Trying'!

You all, my readers, my visitors; my supporters; you have made this post one of the most successful posts on my blog. I kept wondering what it was about this post, that made it so successful; one word: JANET! The fact that Janet has new music on the way makes this post even more of a hot topic. As its been said before, no one sings about sex quite like Janet Jackson. Her songs, ooze with the right amount of sexuality perfect for a night of steamy sex. Take a look back at a number of songs Janet is responsible for delivering her in trademark breathy delivery. I took the liberty of adding a few other songs that didn't make the list before.  "Warmth" This song begins with echos of Janet saying "...in my mouth". By then you should already know what this song is about. Janet sings about the "warmth" of her mouth and how she pleases her lover; Jermaine Dupri at the time. This is a very sensual song and it is one of the most explicit Janet has ever record...
