MIXTAPE DOWNLOAD: 50 Cent – 50 Cent Is The Future
50 Cent Is The Future is a classic mixtape that showcases the music by 50 Cent and his G-Unit family, Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo. The mixtape was recorded in Canada after 50 Cent survived a paid hit on his life, and helped generate the buzz that led to 50 Cent’s record deal with Shady/Aftermath. What was truly groundbreaking about the material was that 50 Cent re-wrote popular songs from his perspective, mixing aggressive content, slick humor, and fresh lyrics with well-known instrumentals. Sure, rappers had rapped new verses over popular beats, but 50 Cent essentially created a new mixtape model.
Key Tracks: “U Should Be Here,” “Bump Dat,” “The Banks Workout,” “G-Unit Soldiers,” “Surrounded By Hoes,” “That’s What’s Up,” “Bad News”

Founder and Executive Editor of Hiptics. I launched Hiptics in 2008. I spent the last 4 years at Denison University where I hosted a weekly hip-hop radio show on 91.1 WDUB (one of America's Top 20 Most Popular College Radio Stations). I also served as Public Relations Chairman, Program Director, and Webmaster of the station. I genuinely love hip-hop, and have been involved in nearly every aspect of the culture starting with selling my own music in Middle School (haha, true story). I won the Culture Jam Freestyle Battle at Denison both times I participated. I brought Wiz Khalifa, EbGb, and D.Julien to campus for a free Hiptics show in January 2010. I've interviewed everyone from Bone Thugs-N-Harmony to the CEO of Death Row Records. I've DJ'd for Wiz Khalifa and Sam Adams, as well as at countless parties and campus events. There's a lot more to be said, but I don't want to be THAT guy. My point is this: I'm not just another one of these hip-hop bloggers. If the Internet didn't exist, I'd still be in the game.
