50 Cent 's unreleased 1999 debut album, "Power of the Dollar," is a legendary "what-if" in hip-hop, shelved by Columbia Records after the rapper was shot nine times. The project features gritty storytelling and street-focused tracks, including the infamous "How to Rob" and "Ghetto Qu'ran."

Although the album was never officially released, the tracks became essential listening through mixtapes and digital archives, defining his early underground sound. This pivotal, unreleased project highlights his raw talent before his major commercial success with "Get Rich or Die Tryin'."
