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

[50 Cent]
It's the Unit
You gotta know how we do it
[Chorus - 50 Cent]
I Put the seat back when we rolling,
I Let the system thump when we coasting
I had the tre pound with me cock
Run up on me get Shot
In the street like a dog
Niggas say they know me
I don't know them
They say we came up together
I don't owe them
A motherfucker ding
I'll Make you hot
Run up on me get Shot
In the street like a dog
[Verse - 50 Cent]
A nigga try smoke me,
I'm gone smoke him
When I say I'm all in
I mean I'm all in
Nigger you blink shell cases just fall in
You fucking with the police?
Well you better call him
Cause I'm a reload my shit
And come right back
You know different day
Same shift with the same strap
Me I gotta get it
I gotta get my bread
I pin a bitch a freak,
Huh, She got to give me head
I got a reputation,
I stay with the burner
I call it putting work in
The D's call it murder
So half and half with my cold D
We only got one pill,
It's one pistol, one target, one shot, one kill
[Chorus - 50 Cent]
I Put the seat back when we rolling,
I Let the system thump when we coasting
I had the tre pound with me cock
Run up on me get Shot
In the street like a dog
Niggas say they know me
I don't know them
They say we came up together
I don't owe them
A motherfucker ding
I'll Make you hot
Run up on me get Shot
In the street like a dog
[Verse - Tony Yayo]
I'm a beast,*boss*, gangster, goon
Grab my knife, my gun, my vest
It's on,
Lay a nigger on his lawn,
Versace style,
Got my 44 alone in my Versace now
Hold my foot kilos
Switch cars trying to b-low
I touch more DR
Then got a line away
I shooting windows, doors and parked cars
80 grand on your head, OH GOD,
Tripod in the arnarge
It's so hard
I can charge it on the gold card or black card
I'm a be in Italy when they pop your noodles
Nigga 7 star shit eating lots of stroodles
[Chorus - 50 Cent]
I Put the seat back when we rolling,
I Let the system thump when we coasting
I had the tre pound with me cock
Run up on me get Shot
In the street like a dog
Niggas say they know me
I don't know them
They say we came up together
I don't owe them
A motherfucker ding
I'll Make you hot (nothing)
Run up on me get Shot
In the street like a dog (yeeeah)
[Verse - Lloyd Banks]
Hopping out of something foreign,
Bumping oreen
I'm B, I'm not the one for sparing
I'll gun your car your in
Watch the game at the garden
Next to Martin
Here to spite me barking, he's sleep walking
I'm hollow tilting, Champagne bottles open
Chronic smoking,
Even the models groping
My pockets pocking,
The games sick, I'm the potion,
I be proofing,
And I flow like the ocean,
Machines make movies,
You can be the poster,
Your Over,
I'll tell the media your mediocre,
I push your big body,
Your riding in the mini-vans,
I fuck like will
And smoke like the Indians.
[Chorus - 50 Cent]
I Put the seat back when we rolling,
I Let the system thump when we coasting
I had the tre pound with me cock
Run up on me get Shot
In the street like a dog
Niggas say they know me
I don't know them
They say we came up together
I don't owe them
A motherfucker ding
I'll Make you hot
Run up on me get Shot
In the street like a dog
