Off of his second studio album, The Massacre, 'In My Hood' gave you the feeling of that old 50- we're talking that Power of A Dollar 50. It showed us in 2013 that, yes, Fif still had it (he does that every few years as a reminder, so it seems), and did drum up excitement for the return of 50, despite not much following suit. Besides Davaughn (the producer) outright slaying the smooth beat, 50 and Kendrick mesh well and went HAM lyrically. The full version of it which did feature Kidd Kidd, Kendrick Lamar and only one verse by 50 Cent, was first released in February of the same year, however the proper single version of 'We Up' was released a month later, with Kidd Kidd removed from the track.Īmong 50 Cent's many false starts when it came to the long-awaited (but apparently still-coming) Street King Immortal album, was this joint.

'We Up' was officially released to the public in March 2013. The track uses a sample from 'Something About Us' by Daft Punk, who, too, received a songwriting credit. The song was originally intended to be on Kidd Kidd's mixtape, however it ended up being 50's song (without Kidd Kidd, no less). On top of that, when it comes to mixtapes, few have had an impact on the mixtape circuit / the streets like Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson (those that had, can be counted on one hand alongside Fif). to date 12 million sold globally), 50 Cent is by far one of the best lyricist to ever touch a microphone. The way 50 has frequently switched up his rap style on tracks over the years, you might even say that 50 Cent has the best 'flow' out of all spitters, both past and present- whether it's wavy and melodic, curt and abrupt, he's done it all.

However, as far as the debates goes, there's one name that tends to fly a bit more under the radar - though in actuality, the name should be referenced in every 'All-Time Rap Great' conversation - 50 Cent.Īside from possessing the 10th best-selling rap album of all time ( Get Rich or Die Tryin' - 8.3 million copies sold in the U.S. When the ultimate debate of 'Who Are The Top 10 Best Emcees Of All-Time?' emerges within circles, those engaged typically chime in with a usual set of names such as The Notorious B.I.G., Tupac Shakur, Jay-Z, Nas and DMX other noble mentions in the argument normally include Rakim, Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne, Ice Cube and Eminem (LL Cool J, Kanye West, Andre 3000 and Big Pun often too get thrown in the mix). 50 Cent's best songs ever, definitively, no questions asked.
