50 Cent, cuyo nombre de nacimiento es Curtis James Jackson III, nació el 6 de julio de 1975 en el barrio de South Jamaica, Queens, Nueva York. Criado por su madre, Sabrina, quien fue traficante de drogas, 50 Cent enfrentó múltiples dificultades desde una temprana edad. Su madre murió cuando él tenía apenas ocho años, dejando a Curtis bajo el cuidado de sus abuelos.
Durante su adolescencia, Jackson cayó en el tráfico de drogas y tuvo numerosos problemas con la ley. Sin embargo, desde joven mostró interés en la música, escribiendo y componiendo sus propios temas.
El camino hacia el estrellato no fue fácil. 50 Cent comenzó su carrera musical en los últimos años de la década de 1990, grabando su primer álbum Power of the Dollar en 2000 para Columbia Records. Sin embargo, el álbum nunca fue lanzado oficialmente debido a un incidente que cambió su vida: 50 Cent recibió nueve disparos en un tiroteo en mayo de 2000. Milagrosamente, sobrevivió y decidió centrarse completamente en su carrera musical.
Tras recuperarse, 50 Cent llamó la atención de Eminem, quien quedó impresionado por su mixtape Guess Who's Back?. Eminem lo presentó a Dr. Dre, y juntos decidieron firmarlo bajo sus sellos discográficos, Shady Records y Aftermath Entertainment.
En 2003, lanzó su álbum debut Get Rich or Die Tryin', el cual fue un éxito

[Verse 1: 50 Cent]
A nigga hustle around the streets to keep the paper straight
Legal or illegal, I do what it take
Shawty she the shit, you know she put it down
Make a nigga always wanna be around
I blow that paper in La Perla then rip the shit when we at it
For her I'm a fanatic, I happen to be her habit
We have the same temperament, hell yeah when we're intimate
Blindfolds, butterflies, BDSM and restraints
50 shades of 50, yeah, we freaky when ya ain't
Lights off, she get erotic with glow in the dark paint
I'm like give it to me baby, she know how I like it, boy
O-D-B, baby, I like it raw
[Verse 2: Elle Varner]
Yesterday was your birthday
So I had to put it down in the worst way
Put the cake on your plate, then I let you eat the whole damn thing
Yeah last night was one to remember, I'm sure you'd agree
Had such a good time, felt like I was celebrating me
[Hook: Elle Varner]
I know you love it, when I, spoil you, baby

It's your day, your day, you can have me your way
(Treat you) like your birthday
Then the next day, then the next day, then the next day after that
[Verse 3: Elle Varner]
I like to throw surprises, got you on recovery your eyes in
You're nervous but you like it

Last night, good night to remember, I'm sure you'd agree
Forget all your presents your here in the present with me
[Verse 4: 50 Cent]
And I'm lovin' it everyday, every hour, every minute, every second
You being down and around it's starting to feel like a blessing
I take you to the top, show my old hoes a lesson
You need to get to twerking, you know they want the Birkin

Get a few followers then hoes set to go go
Me fuckin' up for these hoes, man that's a no no
I mean you know, you treat a nigga way too good
[Hook: Elle Varner]
I know you love it, when I, spoil you, baby
So I'ma treat you like it's your birthday everyday
It's your day, your day, you can have it your way
Then the next day, and the next day, and the next day after that
Then the next day, and the next day, and the next day after that
It's your birthday

Treat you like it's you birthday
Then the next day, and the next day, and the next day after that
It's your day, your day, you can have it your way
Then the next day, and the next day, and the next day after that
Then the next day, and the next day, and the next day after that
