50 Cent's 'Many Men' Producer Disputes 'Least Favorite Song' Comments

50 Cent’s “Many Men (Wish Death)” producer Six Figga Digga has disputed the G-Unit leader’s claim the song is his least favorite from his seminal debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin’.

In an interview with Apple Music, 50 had lamented the sound and tempo of the track, but Six Figga Digga hit back during an interview with TMZ on Tuesday (November 28).

“In my humble opinion, that was the point,” he said. “If you got a track like that, along with the other tracks that Dr. Dre did, then it’s not going to sound the same because I’m not Dr. Dre.

“Also, when it was done, it was a different frame of mind, a different way of thinking, so when you’re trying to blend those two things together, I can see that.”

The producer went on to name “Blood Hound,” which features former G-Unit solder Young Buck, as his own personal least favorite track from Get Rich or Die Tryin’.

“The worst song on that album, I would probably say is that ‘Blood Hound’ song,” he said. “To me, that’s the song, when you listen to it sonically, that’s the one that sticks out.”

He added: “At that time, the Southern influence was still taking over. I mean, he signed Young Buck because of his influence coming from, you know, that era of Juvenile and all of that type of sound.

“50 was the one that was bringing the New York sound back, but with that ‘Blood Hound’ song, I feel like that was kinda catering to that audience that was happening at the time.”

Earlier this week, 50 Cent highlighted “Many Men (Wish Death)” as his least favorite from the album despite its cult popularity and general standing as one of his best songs.

In a chat with The Rebecca Judd Show, 50 said: “‘Many Men’ was my least favorite at that point because musically we was in the boom-bap phase. We was in that hard-hitting intensity, the energy on the records, and it’s the slowest song on Get Rich or Die Tryin.’

“And it’s now the tempo that the artists are rapping to. So the fast tempo, hard-hitting beats, that was that era, that time period. And the whole album had it.”

As well as Six Figga Digga, “Many Men (Wish Death)” featured production from Eminem and Luis Resto. The song was later sampled by Pop Smoke on “Got it on Me” and by Metro Boomin and 21 Savage and Metro Boomin on their collaboration, also titled “Many Men.”

In his interview with Rebecca Judd, 50 Cent also reflected on the legacy of his debut album, saying: “If you had asked me to make a wish in 2003, I would’ve just wish that my music was a hit. I didn’t see 20 years ahead in music like that. I’m just that at the moment for it to work.

“And then what’s crazy is most artists, they think they’re ready before they are. Most good artists, they’ve thought they were ready before they actually [were], but they’ve had that window of time to work that allowed them to actually become good enough.”

The 48-year-old rapper, actor and producer is currently wrapping up his Final Lap Tour after a number of sold-out shows in the U.S. and Europe.
