50 Cent’s “Many Men” Producer Responds To His Criticism Of The Song

by

Six Figga Digga, who produced 50 Cent’s iconic Get Rich or Die Tryin’ single, “Many Men (Wish Death),” has responded to the rapper’s recent criticism of the song. During a recent interview, 50 labeled it his least favorite song of the 2003 project. Six Figga Digga responded to the take while speaking with TMZ on Tuesday.

“In my humble opinion, that was the point,” he said. “If you got a track like that, along with the other tracks that Dr. Dre did, then it’s not going to sound the same because I’m not Dr. Dre. Also, when it was done, it was a different frame of mind, a different way of thinking, so when you’re trying to blend those two things together, I can see that.”

“The worst song on that album, I would probably say is that ‘Blood Hound’ song,” he said. “To me, that’s the song, when you listen to it sonically, that’s the one that sticks out. At that time, the Southern influence was still taking over. I mean, he signed Young Buck because of his influence coming from, you know, that era of Juvenile and all of that type of sound. 50 was the one that was bringing the New York sound back, but with that ‘Blood Hound’ song, I feel like that was kinda catering to that audience that was happening at the time.”

As for 50 Cent’s reasoning for choosing “Many Men (Wish Death)” as his least favorite Get Rich or Die Tryin’ track, he explained the take during an interview on The Rebecca Judd Show, earlier this week. He said: “‘Many Men’ was my least favorite at that point because musically we was in the boom-bap phase. We was in that hard-hitting intensity, the energy on the records, and it’s the slowest song on Get Rich or Die Tryin.’ And it’s now the tempo that the artists are rapping to. So the fast tempo, hard-hitting beats, that was that era, that time period. And the whole album had it.” Be on the lookout for further updates on 50 Cent on HotNewHipHop.

50 Cent is currently overseas performing on the international leg of his Final Lap Tour, celebrating the 20th anniversary of his debut album Get Rich Or Die Tryin’. Not only does the project go down in history as one of the greatest rap albums of all time, but 50’s recent live performances proved his ability to make timeless music — delivering instant nostalgia to every city he touches.

Just last week, 50 shut down the stage at O2 Arena in London. While there, he stopped by The Rebecca Judd Show and revealed that “Many Men” was once his least favorite song on Get Rich Or Die Tryin’. A wild statement, given the track, is a certified fan favorite!

50 Cent explains, “‘Many Men’ was my least favorite at that point because musically we was in the boom-bap phase,” he explained. “We was in that hard-hitting intensity, the energy on the records, and it’s the slowest song on Get Rich or Die Tryin’. And it’s now the tempo that the artists are rapping to. So the fast tempo, hard-hitting beats, that was that era, that time period. And the whole album had it.”

Beyond the project, 50 reflected on his long-standing career and how far he’s come since he first stepped into the music industry.

“If you had asked me to make a wish in 2003, I would’ve just wish that my music was a hit,” he states. “I didn’t see 20 years ahead in music like that. I’m just at that moment for it to work.”

He goes on to add that most artists think they’re ready, before they actually are.

“That’s why we have one hit wonders in Hip Hop culture,” he states. “Because when that happens, they have that first hit and then it takes them out of the studio to go perform and to go meet all the distractions to come with being a successful artist, and then they land back in the studio without being trained to know how to create the next song. So they be stuck with that one hit.”

50 Cent is far from a one-hit wonder. He’s someone who’s put in the work, and let the music speak for itself.
