Guess Who's Back

Arrived super fast and was exactly as described

I hadn't ever heard most of the songs, and liked all of them. I love 50 Cent and am trying to get all of his albums.

After releasing "How To Rob", 50 Cent could have never predicted that his career would have taken the turn that it has. Once this comical song was released, many of the artists that he mentioned didn't take the song as a joke. Jay Z, Ja Rule, Ghostface Killah and many others had either diss replies or comments to make about what 50 Cent was trying to do. Days before his video shoot for the song, "Thug Love" w/Destiny's Child, he was shot multiple times and was hospitalized. Once he was released from the hospital, Columbia decided not to go through with the video. After quietly releasing his EP, "Power Of The Dollar", 50 Cent's career remained in limbo. "How To Rob" and "Rowdy Rowdy" apperared on the "In Too Deep" soundtrack and 50 Cent kept his name in the game by appearing on various mixtapes by performing freestyles and some of his songs that were supposed to be on his full album release showed up on mixed CDs as well. In 2002, Full Clip Records decided to release a compilation of his underground classics and freestyles. I admit myself that I slept on 50 Cent but after hearing "Guess Who's Back" you will definitely see the light, trust me. The CD starts out with a freestyle to the Geto Boys' "No ..., No Glory beat and this is a nice intro to the CD. "Rotten Apple" appears after the intro and 50 Cent lets people know what happens on his side of the town in NY. After a short intro, 50 and his G-Unit crew set it off something lovely on "That's What's Up". This whole CD is filled with nothing but highlights. On the hilarious "Get Out The Club", 50 Cent breaks it down about the high post females that come to the club and act like they are above everybody. It is a well crafted song. Although, there are no production credits in the CD, "... You" is definitely a Premo banger. 50 Cent and DJ Premier need to work together again in the future. Guest appearances are kept to a minimum on this CD. Nas & Nature appear on "Too Hot", which shows you how old this track is, because Nas & Nature are bitter rivals now. Nas & The Bravehearts show up on "Who U Rep With" and on "As The World Turns", Bun B from UGK shows up for a nice collaboration with 50 Cent. 50 even sounds as if he is rapping like Pimp C. The best song on this CD is definitely "Ghetto Qua ran". I can not understand why Columbia dropped 50 Cent. This will be a move that they regret. On "Ghetto Qua ran", 50 Cent is trying to sing the chorus and he does a good job of storytelling on the song. He has unlimited potential. As we speak, 50 Cent has one of the best selling mixed CDs out now entitled "50 Cent Is The Future: G Unit" and he just signed a deal with Eminem's Shady Records. His new CD will be out in the Fall of this year. "Guess Who's Back" is definitely a CD that you want to have in your collection.

This is by far 50's best lyrical content. Mostly due it being before he sold out. Now he is just another faceless name in the crowd of materialistic rappers. Blah Blah Blah rims Blah chains Blah shinny teeth Blah cars Blah. This album unlike the rest of his is a true testiment to his old ability before the $$$ got to his head. Its a shame but at least we have this album to enjoy one more rapper who has fallen on the materialism band waggon.

This proves that it was stuipd for columbia to drop 50.1) Killa Tape Intro 9/102) Rotten Apple 10/103) Skit/Drop 3/104) Thats Whats Up Ft.
