context_page_description: Best Of is the first greatest hits album by American hip hop recording artist 50 Cent. It was released on March 31, 2017, by Shady Records, Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records. The compilation includes tracks from five of his previous studio albums: Power of the Dollar, Get Rich or Die Tryin', The Massacre, Curtis and Before I Self Destruct. Also included are songs from the soundtrack to the film Get Rich or Die Tryin'. It also includes the non-album singles "Get Up" and "I Get It In". Best Of anthologizes the majority of the singles that 50 Cent released during his joint deals with Eminem's Shady, Dr. Dre's Aftermath, and major-label Interscope. This is the first Shady Records album that does not feature Eminem on a song.
context_section_description: In 2002, 50 Cent signed a five-album deal with Interscope Records, which also included a greatest hits album. In June 2007, 50 Cent said: "Before I Self Destruct is scheduled to be released February 4, which is the anniversary of Get Rich or Die Tryin'. And it'll be my final studio recording for where I'm at, for my deal. I did a five-album deal, and the fifth album is a greatest-hits CD". However, 50 Cent planned to release one more studio album under Interscope, but went on to ask for his release in 2014, due to frustration with how the label was handling the promotion for Street King Immortal.
  In February 2017, the album was announced by Universal Music Enterprises (UMe). It was announced for a March 31, 2017 release, 14 years after his breakthrough debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin'. The 18 track collection was also announced to be available in all formats, including digital, CD and LP, with the vinyl announced for an April 7, 2017 release.
