LeBron James’ depth and passion for music has always been an urban legend for a long time, but that became more than a legend after he A/R’d the latest 2Chainz album ‘Rap or Go To The League.’
But 2Chainz isn’t the only person in the music industry impressed by LeBron’s musical knowledge. 50 Cent, who began his career as a rapper but has evolved into a business and entertainment mogul, posted a photo on Instagram yesterday of he and Nas on the 25th anniversary of Nas’ iconic album ‘Illmatic.’ In the comments of the post, LeBron urged 50 to re-release the mixtape ‘Power of The Dollar,’ which is an underground classic.
“Re release “Power of A Dollar”! Straight flames!!!!!” James commented. 50 Cent was taken aback by LeBron’s music knowledge, saying “@kingjames Damn boy you real be knowing this music sh** for real.”
‘Power of The Dollar’ was supposed to be 50 Cent’s studio debut, but he was dropped from his record label weeks before the release after they received word 50 was shot nine times. That, of course, became a part of 50 Cent’s legend. The mixtape included features from Destiny’s Child and Bun B. So if you see it show up on your favorite streaming platform, perhaps you’ll have LeBron to thank.
