How 50 Cent Dominated 2003 | Best Rapper Alive Podcast

In our second episode of the podcast, we look back on 50 Cent as the Best Rapper Alive for 2023. Host Insanul Ahmed and guests Joe La Puma and Noah Callahan-Bever break down how utterly dominant 50 Cent was in 2003 thanks to his legendary mixtape run, his co-signs from Eminem and Dr. Dre, and his undeniable hits. Noah recalls meeting a pre-fame 50 Cent, interviewing the rapper over the years, and his memories on the set of the "In Da Club" video shoot. Meanwhile, Insanul and Joe talk about being diehard 50 Cent and G-Unit fans in the early days and rooting for an underground king who became a mainstream hero.
