50 cent famous because of Eminem and because for some reason psychologists have yet to explain, there are those who consider drugs, gangs, mistreatment of women and violence. He is yet another young man from a whole generation of fatherless, poor, angry men. While he preaches about poverty, his violent past, the glory of gangs and contempt of women, he travels between his multimillion dollar homes with body guards, lawyers, PR guys and groupies.Back to his album "In My Hood" gets the album off to a solid start, it's a typical 50 Cent hood song and has a great beat by C. Styles & Bang Out. Overall it's good, but it's nothing special (although the Saxophone part that closes the track is real nice). "This Is 50" has a pretty grimy beat, but 50's drawl at the end of every line seems all too formulaic, taking a page right out of "Blood Hound" from "Get Rich...". It could easily grow on the listener though. Lyrically 50 copies his previous effort again with "I'm Supposed To Die Tonight" (aka "Many Men" Pt. II). That being said it's one of the better tracks on the album with Eminem's production being the perfect marriage for the 50's subject matter.
