Watch the long-awaited official visuals for this legendary collaboration that brought together the titans of Shady, Aftermath, and G-Unit:

Shady Records, massive global album sales, YouTube dominance Multi-Millionaire

Released in February 2009, the song set records for digital sales and solidified the trio's comeback era.

Beyond the money, the "paper" they've built is rooted in a deep, long-standing friendship where they view each other as family rather than just business associates.

This collaboration brought together three of the most financially successful artists in rap history. Their estimated net worths reflect the "paper" they've stacked over decades of dominance in the music and business worlds: Estimated Net Worth (2026) Key "Paper" Sources $250 Million Aftermath Entertainment, Beats by Dre sale, production Eminem $260 Million

G-Unit Records, Vitamin Water deal, TV production (Power Universe) "Crack A Bottle" Legacy

Though the song was a hit in 2009, an official music video was famously unreleased for over a decade, eventually being "unlocked" from the Shady vault and shared with fans in 2022.

The phrase or "putting together paper" in hip-hop context refers to earning and accumulating significant wealth. For the legendary trio of Eminem , Dr. Dre , and 50 Cent , their collaboration on the 2009 hit "Crack A Bottle" was a massive financial and cultural success that reinforced their status as industry powerhouses.
