Never in history have we seen such a great duo like Eminem and 50 Cent when they conquered the rap music industry together in the early 2000s.
In pop culture today, rap as a form of artistry is gaining more relevance with rising talents in the game. It wasn’t always this way. Music has generally evolved from a time where dexterous instrumental performances were at the height of it, through a time where robust vocal ability was more appreciated, and into our time where there is more accommodation for expression of different styles. Rap just happens to be one of the styles that have been more widely accepted in recent years.
Two big names that are forever etched in the rap hall of fame are Eminem and 50 Cent. With albums such as The Slim Shady LP and The Marshall Mathers LP, as well as Get Rich Or Die Tryin and Curtis respectively, these two have set the pace for the new generation. They are celebrities who know about all the money, cars, and fame, and today we take a look into their exciting car collections.
