Mal sparked debate in the Hip-Hop community after sharing a bold take on 50 Cent’s debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin’.
During a discussion on The Rory and Mal Podcast, Mal argued that while the project is widely considered a classic, he personally views it as the “worst classic album of all time.”
The comment quickly sparked conversation among Hip-Hop fans online, with many pushing back on the statement given the album’s massive impact. Released in 2003, Get Rich or Die Tryin’ helped launch 50 Cent into superstardom and produced major hits like “In Da Club,” “21 Questions,” and “Many Men.”
Mal’s take has since fueled fresh debate about how the album stacks up against other classic releases in Hip-Hop history.
