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

[Intro: Young Buck & 50 Cent]
K'Yeah!! (Man I been tellin' niggas ova and ova man..)
Aye yo, whuddup niggas (Not to play wit' this nigga mayn'..)
Aye yo mayn', there be alot of niggas out here (Nigga on SSK program)
Talkin'bout they got beef wit' G-Unit, ya'know.. (Shoot, stab, kill nigga)
And I be seein' these niggas..
I be by myself and shit, niggas be like 100 deep and shiit..
I be like: "Wussup nigga?!!" (Don't say I ain't tell ya..)
Niggas be like: "Nah man.." (I warned ya!)
"It ain't like dat."
[Verse 1: Young Buck]
Look up it's a full moon the sound of the wind blowin'
And you don't know you 'bout to git killed, but I been knowin'
Tha nite still young, I mite as well come 'round midnite
Just me all by my lonely, my homies gon' sit tight
I'm workin' wit' a Glock and just a lil' bit of gas money
But bet I come back, wit' what dem niggas done snatched from me
My Crip & Blood thugs, they wanna git witcha
They mad at me cause I'm tellin' em "It's personal, nigga."
I wanna see, if this motherfucker want it wit' me
So on 3, I'mma hop up out this SUV
If ya around 'em, I feel like you down wit' em
As soon as this round hit 'em, you'll lay in the ground wit' em
Awaken by Satan but bein' carried by Tha Lord
What ya life costs Bill Gates couldn't even afford
Ain't nuthin' that can stop reprucussions if I die
This ain't got nuthin' to do wit' Dr. Dre mOthafucker
Just you and I
[Chorus: Young Buck]
I don't need 10 niggas wit' me
I don't run and go git the police (I will do it myself)
You know me, I'mma motherfuckin' G
If it's beef, bitch nigga will see (I will do it myself)
Let 'em hate, homie you know where I be
You done seen me git down on TV (I will do it myself)
And I brought the whole Unit wit' me
But they already know how I be (I will do it myself)
[Verse 2: Young Buck]
In the beginnin' I was humble
Just thankful fo' makin' it out the jungle
I've never eva sayd nuthin' on this mic' I didn't want to
I'mma soulja, as soon as 50 give me a mission
I mark my enemies territory, then play my posission (Let's go!)
And homie know me even that nigga dat's wearin' ya chain
See we both from the South but homie, we ain't the same
And I remain in the same fuckin' project buldin's
I got guns everywhere, bullet-holes in the ceilin'
My adrenaline pumpin', got this 12 gauge dumpin'
Out the back of this cutless if I git hit up, then fuck it (yeaaaa)
Tha Reaper comin', so don't look back, just keep runnin'
Tell 50 fo' this hit I don't need nuthin', you owe me one
Now show me sonny where he be at
Dat's all I need to know, you can go - I'mma be back
Any other time I probably would've asked Banks to ride
But this ain't nuthin' to do wit' G-Unit, nigga
Just you and I
[Chorus: Young Buck]
I don't need 10 niggas wit' me
I don't run and go git the police (I will do it myself)
You know me, I'mma motherfuckin' G
If it's beef, bitch nigga will see (I will do it myself)
Let 'em hate, homie you know where I be
You done seen me git down on TV (I will do it myself)
And I brought the whole Unit wit' me
But they already know how I be (I will do it myself)
[Outro: 50 Cent]
