Background
24 Shots features tracks recorded before his professional debut with Shady Records and Aftermath Entertainment, and during his venture there. It has tracks from various other albums and mixtapes, including the unreleased Power of the Dollar and various G-Unit mixtapes. It also features unused tracks for "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" and mixtape tracks. Some songs have later surfaced on other albums, such as "Ecstasy", which was re-released on G-Unit's Beg for Mercy with no alterations as "I Smell Pussy". "In Da Club" was also on this album, simultaneously with "Get Rich or Die Tryin'". Most songs have been re-mastered from their original vinyl records, notably singles from Power of the Dollar, such as "How to Rob". "Follow Me Gangster" also appeared on the Cradle 2 the Grave soundtrack in 2003.
