50 Cent Is The Future

2002年50 Cent推出首张官方Mixtape《50 Cent Is The Future》，这张作品使他一夜成名，人们把他视作说唱界的重量级潜力新人。 50 Cent Is the Future is the first official mixtape released by 50 Cent and G-Unit. The mixtape was recorded after his unreleased album Power of the Dollar was recorded and 50 Cent was dropped from the label and blacklisted from the recording industry due to being shot. He then travelled to Canada to record the mixtape. The mixtape mostly revisits material by Mobb Deep and features New Orleans rapper Juvenile's group UTP. After 50 Cent Is the Future, he recorded his 2002 compilation album Guess Who's Back?, which "G-Unit That's What's Up" is included in. The mixtape was named the #1 best mixtape of all time in the XXL Top 20 Mixtapes.
