I recently bought three CDs. I was sent on a mission by my wife to get an album by 50 Cent, and while at the record store (Virgin at 14th Street in Manhattan), I picked up the other ones as well.
They were:
50 Cent - Get Rich or Die Tryin' (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&uid=10:48:16|PM&sql=Afpftxqrald0e) $15
Afro-Mystik - Morphology (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&uid=11:02:03|PM&sql=Act8ibkk9sakx) $14
Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&uid=11:00:44|PM&sql=A34rp283c054a) $13
I bought the Afro-Mystik one because I was in the "electronica" section and it looked interesting. Also in the store I spotted the Beastie Boys album and thought it would be fun to get it, because I remembered it from when I was younger.
I ended up not liking the Beastie Boys album, and I gave it to someone at work. I found their singing and music to be too annoying. I moderately like the Afro-Mystik album, enough to keep, but not enough for me to want to get other albums by them.
Here are songs from the two albums I kept:
50 Cent - In da Club.mp3 (http://napsterite.org/eclectica/mp3/50 Cent - Get Rich Or Die Tryin%27 - In Da Club.mp3) 4 MB
Afro-Mystik - Momentary Visions (http://napsterite.org/eclectica/mp3/Afro-Mystik - Morphology - Momentary Visions.mp3) 7 MB
"In da Club" is the most popular from the 50 Cent album, and is catchy that it makes you want to dance to it. My one-year old daughter does. Another good one from the same album, for the instrumentation, is "Heat".
