American rapper and producer 50cent has taken to his social media handle to share yet another epic throwback snap dating back to his teenage days as an upcoming rapper. This is to further celebrate his debut album ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin’ reaching yet another Spotify streaming milestone recently, as it crossed the four billion stream mark.
And although today is not Thursday for social media Throwback Thursday, the G-Unit front man, rapper and producer 50cent is still reminiscing on his latest achievement on Spotify.
The rapper who is presently on a world tour, posted a photo of himself spotting a white T-shirt, where he was photographed inside his basement making music.
The rapper who has continually told his fans to take their time and create something that will outlast them…telling them to take their time and make it a classic, just like his songs, captioned his latest social media post, talking about how that life philosophy of his, has brought him this far. He captioned the photo saying:
“This is what it looks like when you have nothing and you fall in love with something. Music is magic people don’t agree on anything, but when the right music comes on they agree to have a good time,” he said.
Get Rich or Die Tryin’ is the debut studio album by American rapper 50 Cent. It was released on February 6, 2003, by Interscope Records, Eminem’s Shady Records, Dr. Dre’s Aftermath Entertainment, and 50 Cent’s G-Unit Records.
The rewards continue to pour in for 50. Earlier this year, “In Da Club” joined the billionaire club when the track surpassed a billion Spotify dreams.
“Take your time make it a classic then it won’t go away,” 50 wrote back in June.
Earlier this week, 50 earned his first diamond plaque, as that same song made history, becoming the 43rd rap track to reach diamond status.
“In Da Club has officially reached Diamond 10,000,000 singles sold,” he wrote to IG. “The 43rd Hip Hop song to go Diamond, 121 songs of all time to do it. I feel good, I’m that thing 50cent.”
