50 Cent Is the Future


50 Cent Is the Future is the first mixtape released by G-Unit. The mixtape was recorded in 2001 after 50 Cent was dropped from his label Columbia and blacklisted from the recording industry due to his controversial song Ghetto Qu'ran, leaving his debut studio album Power of the Dollar unreleased. He then traveled to Canada to record the mixtape due to being unable to find a studio in the United States that would allow him to record. The mixtape mostly revisits material by Mobb Deep and features New Orleans rapper Juvenile and his group UTP. After 50 Cent Is the Future, he recorded his 2002 compilation album Guess Who's Back?, which "G-Unit That's What's Up" is included in. The mixtape was named the #7 best mixtape of all time in the XXL Top 10 Mixtapes. It marks the first collaboration between the group and future member Young Buck, while he was still signed to UTP.
