50 Cent - Get Up
Artist: 50 Cent
Producer: Scott Storch
Album: Before I Self-Destruct
Label: Shady/Aftermath/Interscope
Guess who’s back? Yup, the G-Unit leader has hand-delivered his tentative buzz
first single off his forthcoming winter release, Before I Self-Destruct. Following the old adage, “if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it,” Fifty has hooked up with past collaborator (and former yacht owner) Scott Storch, whose talents helped to craft hits like Candy Shop and Just A Lil Bit, for the club-built banger Get Up. While this new concoction is certainly no In Da Club, this richer-than-Richie emcee once again sounds aggressive on the microphone and is backed by stellar spin-worthy production. The follow up to last year’s pseudo-self-titled Curtis, Fifty’s new album is one step closer to the end of his record contract with Universal-owned Interscope. Following his December 9 release (and a contractually-obligated greatest hits album), Mr. Cent will officially be a free agent. So, where does the bidding start?

This is an official street banger right here. Scott Storch's production is fire here, and 50 has got a hell of a swag on him with this track. The chorus is hot as well, but theres something about this track holdin me back from banger status. It will fit perfect on a mixtape and its a perfect introduction to Before I Self Destruct, I'm really expecting big things from that album. This is a solid street look from Curtis, hot song.

Great song from fifty, maybe cuz my expectations were lowered but this caught me by surprise at how good it was to me! Storch brings a banger beat and 50's swag is killer. Chorus could use a little work, maybe if 50 fell into the modern R&B collabo he might be able to work out something, problem is 50s style might not work... idk but 4* good job for 50

i don't usually get down w/ scott storch but he's done probably his greatest imitation of Dr. Dre with this beat. so kudos to him. congrats to him, but 50 should just get back with the real Dre to have a fighting chance at being a rap icon again. rating for the beat 4, 50 2

This song is OK but I don't know. I think someone's going to take 50 Cent's place similar to how 50 took Ja Rule's place if 50 Cent don't get his act together. Just my opinion.

50 cent is dropping to Soulja Boys level, slowly but surely. His lyricism is almost non-existent, and even his flow is mediocre. The beat kept this one out of the trash can

I noticed lots of rappers are really into these real epic sounding joints (T.I. to be the most recent example). This is definitely better sounding than anything 50 Cent had on Curtis. This is definitely a hype universal banger that the masses will eat up. Strorch really got his Danja Hands on with this joints. Very decent joint from 50. I'll throw it in rotation and look out for more improvement on this new album. He has some things to prove. We'll see if he delivers.

This shit BANGS HARD! Scott put is foot in this beat. I think 50's flow has gotten off point. He needs to ride beats like he used to. For example, How we do. He murdered that track. He did better than game on that one. If he was in that mind frame when he rapped on this one. This would be unstoppable. I hate to love it. But I do!

the production on this is crazy, and i kind of like 50's flow. its definitely better than anything i heard from the massacre and curtis, but if his next album isnt up there with his first then i may lose faith in 50 for good. And to answer your question Z, although i dont think it deserves to be, the fact that this is 50 will make it a top 10 record for a few weeks

Beat is what makes this song. Its my opinion that 50 shines only when his production is on point. On the whole this is average and if this becomes a top 10 song it won't be for very long. If 50 is gonna make a comeback he needs another In Da Club.

DJ Durt (and everybody else who considers not liking 50's effort as "hating"), stop saying the Booth hates 50 as if it means anything! Like a DjBooth member said: "Not liking something is not hating it's just not liking it. For instance, I don't like shit sandwiches but for some people that might be a delicacy. That doesn't make me a hater, just someone that doesn't like shit." The ones you call “haters” are giving arguments so far, instead of being completely biased. And what did you do? You didn't give a single reason WHY this song is HOT!

The absolutely unexciting "straight to the bank" flow on the first verse and anything similar to "Curtis" album must go away! He got better on the second but still not strong enough to make up for the forgettable lyrics (Please, cite it if he said anything remarkable). Chorus is not catchy, I thought he'd do a better job if he's so eager to take credit for all Game's chorus. Production is repetitive but still has a head banging rhythm and an epic sound. This is not goin to be a Top 10 record Z! There's enough quality records not let this sh*t in... PS: The "You don't know" 50 would kill this beat!

In my opinion, 50 fell of AWHILE back.. When it became all about the money. You notice his first cd was ill, everybody had that in their cd player... then slowly he fell off when he realized how easy it is to make money when you're in the forefront of the industry. The beats the only reason I gave it a 3, Scott Storch is a fire producer, and quite a weird looking man, hahaha. 3.. it's a wrap.

I don't think this song will go in the top ten...at least, not thanx to me! I'm not a 50 Cent fan but here he sounds better than he usually does. Production is ok, I like the beat but the music is repetitive! As already written his flow is good but it isn't a song I would listen to again. It will go in the clubs, though.

DJ Durt, if you consider yourself such a mature listener, why is it that your feedback lacks musical approach? It's you who is biased, cuz you see 50's name and you forget about the music: you only talk about him and you go as far as thinkin people don't like the MUSIC because of him. Having 5 other sites who love this song means nothing (really, you should realize that. Ever heard of Galileo Galilei? Just an example...). Like the rest of what you said, it's useless. I guess you didn't read the comment I left up there for you (please do), I'm still waiting for your review on this song, not to hear how much you love 50 or hate people who didn't like this song.

I didn't think 50 could still make his own hot songs anymore. Its hot enough for me to give it a 4. I don't think that it'll get top 10 status but it'll make an appearance on the charts and in the clubs for sure. If for no other reason, it'll be there just because it's 50 and its not bad. Maybe he really is getting back to his "Get Rich or Die Tryin" mentality.
