I see absolutely no difference between those 2 albums in terms of beats or lyrics...
The beats on GRODT were better, the lyrics were more interesting to hear, the meaning behind the songs was more real (Backdown, Many Men), the hooks were better, etc. Plus, he came in at the right time. It was like perfect to release an album then. I can't explain it now, but I was going to record stores every week asking for his album before the release.
You have to take all of these things into consideration.
I don't know where you were or what you were doing around 50's come up, but that could be why you don't see the difference. It's like, if I just heard both CD's now, without ever hearing them before and not knowing anything about 50 cent or not being around at the time of their release, I'd probably not see a big difference.
