God's Plan was released during 50 Cent's and G-Unit's 2002 mixtape run and is the last mixtape released before 50 Cent's official debut album, Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2003).[6][7] According to Billboard magazine, the mixtapes caused "tremendous buzz amongst hip-hop fans and artists".[8] Vancouver Sun wrote that the mixtapes "widely circulated" for several years after the release.[9] By rapping over instrumentals from other artists and then releasing it for free, with God's Plan and the other contemporary releases 50 Cent revolutionized hip hop mixtapes,[10] creating a blueprint for later artists, such as Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy, and Drake.[11] God's Plan was named the 9th best mixtape ever by XXL magazine.[citation needed]
