Day 6 of our January Month of Samples brings us to 50 Cent and his G-Unit crew. Get Rich or Die Tryin’ wasn’t the greatest movie, but the soundtrack was pretty much on point. I mean, who didn’t love the soulful singles “Hustler’s Ambition”, “Window Shopper”, or “Best Friend”? If the sappy 50 wasn’t your speed, then you also had “Have a Party” from Mobb Deep, “Get Low” from Lloyd Banks, and “I’ll Whip Your Head” from 50 and Buck. Lots of heat here…. makes you wonder what happened with their last release. Oh, and what ever happened to the return of Murda Mase? Anyway, gettin’ off track. Here’s the samples…
