In celebration of the 20th anniversary of his landmark debut album, Get Rich Or Die Tryin, 50 Cent reflected on his decades-long relationship with Dr. Dre and Eminem.
“When you have a team like this it’s hard to lose, I’m so blessed to have worked with the best ever,” 50 wrote on Instagram alongside an old video of himself, Eminem and Dr. Dre being interviewed by MTV News on the set of his “In Da Club” music video shoot. “You can re-write a book, you can re-write a song but you can’t re-write history. The 3 headed monster EM, DRE and 50 Cent. Boom.”
“50’s album, in my opinion, is going to compete with all the classic Hip Hop records that have come out over the last 10 years —Illmatic,The Chronic, Ready to Die, The Marshall Mathers LP— it’s right up there,” Dre predicted in the clip. “And that’s no bullshit … It’s hot!”
Of course, 50's album went on to become the tenth best-selling Hip-Hop album of all time, selling more than 12 million copies worldwide. Check out our deep dive into the acclaimed album here.
