God's Plan is the third mixtape by hip hop group G-Unit, released on November 1, 2002. Originally released independently as a free mixtape, it was re-released in 2006 by BCD Music Group. The remix of Missy Elliott's song "Work It", from her album Under Construction, which features 50 Cent, is included in the mixtape. Also the track "Niggas" featuring 2 verses from The Notorious B.I.G. from his posthumous album, Born Again, on the song of the same name was featured on the soundtrack of the film Bad Boys II in 2003. The World's verse was used in the remix to "Cry Me a River" by Justin Timberlake.
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). According to Billboard magazine, the mixtapes caused "tremendous buzz amongst hip-hop fans and artists". Vancouver Sun wrote that the mixtapes "widely circulated" for several years after the release. 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, creating a blueprint for later artists, such as Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy, and Drake. God's Plan was named the 9th best mixtape ever by XXL magazine.
