23 years ago today, 50 cent dropped his debut album ‘get rich or die tryin’’ 🔥🗽
fun fact: before 50 ever heard some of the beats on the album, they were originally intended for a rakim project with dr. dre. stat quo (a fellow aftermath signee) told hiphopdx that several of 50’s songs were first made for rakim:
“that first album? rakim did songs on all those beats. rakim’s problem was he couldn’t do the hooks… dre is about songs.”
what’s your favorite track on the album? 👇🎶
Today in 2008, Q-Tip dropped The Renaissance 💎
One of my most played albums from the 2000s; it always sounded how I'd envision Tribe would've been like had they kept creating music together.
Favorite tracks?
Juvie is underrated for sure, but I'd go with Little Brother (Phonte & Rapper Big Pooh) as the most underrated Southern rappers of all time.
Collectively and separately, their work is hella overlooked.
Black Starr was a dynamic duo who made a force of a union in the late 90s
During the midst of the neo soul wave late 90s conscious artists had a lane to thrive in
“Respiration” featuring Common produced by Hi-Tek
Sunday vibes 💎
The higher-ups flood the world with noise—media, trends, chaos—all to keep your frequency low. Protect your energy, see past the distractions, and focus on the real picture. 👁️✨
I will never understand why some people when faced with truth choose to focus on everything else besides the message. The message is everything, why does it matter the tone and delivery when these things don’t change the content of the message
Stan culture is psychotic because people are willing to go against all facts, evidence, and logic due to the delusion that their favorite is perfect. This is how cults exist.
The secret code to life? It’s not fame, money, or success — it’s peace. Real peace. The kind that don’t need validation, approval, or applause. But most never find it… too busy searching outside for what’s always been within.
