@onlyrealtalkofficial: In 2003, 50 Cent turned survival into a statement with “Many Men,” the emotional core of his debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin’. Produced by Darrell “Digga” Branch, with additional production from Eminem and Luis Resto, the track sampled Tavares’ 1977 record “Out of the Picture” and reflected on the 2000 incident that nearly ended his life before his mainstream breakthrough. Released on February 6, Get Rich or Die Tryin’ debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 872,000 first week copies, becoming the best selling album of 2003. While “Many Men” was only a promotional single, its cinematic video and enduring impact helped define 50 Cent’s image, making 2003 the year he transformed a near fatal past into one of hip-hop’s most dominant debuts. #50cent #manymen #2000s #mindsjpg #desperadostyle
