50 Cent

"Ghetto Qu'ran"

Nas

"Get Down"

Early 50 Cent records truly showcased how fucking fierce he was when there was no plan b and nothing was guaranteed yet. You can hear how hungry he was and what he poured into it.

It's quite shocking how underrated and relatively unknown this song is considering how strong of a track and how interesting and influential the background anc content of the song was to his entire career.

It's pretty crazy how much his life could have gone in a completely different direction and how close it was to never happening.

I thought it was interesting that he brought up the Nas record as he was right on in the way that both tracks share in the unique way the offered unuque insight into the world behind the music in NYC and Queens specifically.

As well both record show these two at the top of their game over around the same point in time over amazing beats which showcased how influential the soulful samples were to the vibe and quality of the highest quality of hip-hop music that was coming out in the 2000's which was also synonymous with the keystone Jay, Kanye, Rick Ross, Dipset records of that era - which for my money is a sound that embodies the Golden Era of Hip-Hop as much as the 90's if not surpassed it.
