    Fam I'm kinda struggling to think of another debut hip-hop album that beats Curtis 'Mozart' Jackson's classic GRODT... The impact it had was crazzzzy. Pretty much every track was, or was thereabouts a hit record.

    Who else you got that rivals Fifs 1st album?

    Deserved 5 mics in the Source but the Eminem connection got in the way.

    1. Wasn't his debut.
    2. Many others inc Jay Z and Nas.

    But it was a VERY good album that still gets deserved praise nowadays.

    If your answer is anything other than yes, you’re wrong.

    Jays album was considered a flop and whack in the 90's right up until they revisited it and re-rated it in the 2000's, and yes, GRODT is 50 Cent's first album :)

    shame that he fell off so hard afterwards (as a rapper..not as a businessman)

    Get Rich or Die Tryin' is the biggest hip hop album of all time. name another artist that detailed the murder of their enemy in their platinum album, on a platinum single, on a #1 music video and didn't catch any charges

    yeah well, how to rob so anything jay/nas dropped is moot. If Jay and Nas are such gangstas/good rappers why didn't they end fifty? and instead why did 50 have the biggest debut single in hip hop of all time


    don't talk s--- n----- or i'll drop a bag on your head #lecheminduroi #getthestrap

    I'll be honest though, none of those are f---in with GRODT. Illmatic probably comes closest. GKMC and College Dropout are up there too.

    Mozart Jackson will forever be the GOAT gangsta rapper famo. Fif went at the biggest, wildest motgerfuckers back in the day... Preme, World, Jimmy Henchman, The Latin Kings. When was the last time one dude went at a whole crew, survived and killed the rap game, f---ing 50 Cent lmao what a G.
