Before the money and the fame, 50 Cent was a no nonsense rapper from Queens with a Jay-Z flow, as exhibited on this unreleased album. Power Of The Dollar was recorded around 2000 when 50 was signed to Columbia Records, right before he famously caught nine shots and was subsequently dropped from the label. On this album, a young 50 Cent displays a creativity and hunger that is completely absent in his newer music, or really anything he's done since 2005. Between that and beats by Trackmasters, Ski, and others, I'd have to say i like this to anything else in Curtis' catalogue.
