That track is hard, some good lines in there, and it does have some nostalgic value for me as well. Hip-Hop is full of exaggerations anyway so I don't see the problem there. Biggie was never in the mafia, Eminem doesn't really have 80 pound balls and Big L never bombed any churches. Most of these guys are fake. 50 does at least have a criminal record and contact with firearms.

If I heard that track for the first time now I wouldn't like it, I don't actually rate 50.
