50 Cent's Debut Album Breaks Sales Records

50 Cent released 'Get Rich or Die Tryin',' which sold 872,000 copies in its first four days — one of the fastest-selling debut albums in history — and became one of the best-selling rap albums of all time with over 15 million copies sold. The album and the G-Unit empire 50 Cent subsequently built demonstrated the extraordinary commercial power of hip-hop entrepreneurship.
