Born in South Jamaica, Queens, New York in 1975, he hits hardcore fans with his explicit and realistic portrayals of street life. 50 Cent understands this life first-hand, born into poverty and losing his mother to homicide in a drug deal at the young age of eight. He was later sucked into the drug world himself, touting survival after being shot nine times. Luckily, 50 Cent was signed to Jam Master Jay's label, from Run-DMC fame, expounding on his success later with a deal from Track Masters and then Columbia Records in 1997. Hearing one of his mix tapes, Eminem expressed interest in 50 Cent on MTV and to Dr. Dre, leading to deals at Interscope Records, Shady Records, a business owned by Eminem, and Aftermath Entertainment, a business owned by Dr. Dre. His song Wanksta from Eminem's 8 Mile soundtrack, gained instantaneous popularity: "Me I'm no wanksta', me I'm no acta'/ But it's me you see on your TV/ Cuz I hustle baby, this rap s*** is so easy/ I'm gettin' what you get for a brick to talk greasy." His release of Get Rich Or Die Tryin' sold an astounding 872,000 copies in just the first week, reaching gold almost immediately and platinum the following week. His semi-autobiographical film of the same name was released in 2005, instantly creating a media stir and controversy around its graphic billboard. He's released five albums to date with popular songs like Just a Lil Bit and In da Club, club cross-overs, Candy Shop, uncompromising rap he's best known for, and Best Friend, a slow, ballad-like harmony. Controversy aside, 50 Cent has proven himself as an outstanding business man, musician and pop culture influence. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright (c) 2006 Vasrue.com.
