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: Bow Wow]
Tags on the back of the Lamb' say B-Dub
Everynight I'm in the streets and I'm G'd up
5th album and I'm still bangin out ya spea-kers
SoSoDef nigga, can't nobody see us
You know I keep it fresh when it comes to the fashion
At the age 10 is when my momma heard the passion
I gotta stay stuntin and I gotta keep flashin
7 figure checks is the only thing I'm cashin, I smash it
Everything I get on it look tight
Ain't nothin like a hump when it jump and it shook right, shook right
Ladies on a homey like I'm Denzel
Shirt off, big chain rockin like I'm LL
Since 12 I done had a mill' sittin in my garage
Lil' Brazilian girls comin givin me a massage
Before I was, people was treat me like a big {ass} star
It's a test if you wanna be in my entourage, uhh
[Chorus]
Lil' mama, show me how you move it
Lil' mama, show me how you move it
Lil' lil' mama, show me how you move it

Lil' mama (shake shake that back girl)
[Verse 2: Bow Wow]
I keep catchin all my lil' comp in a slumber
Comin with that heat that keep me hotter than a summer
Call it what you want, I'm the king of Columbus
And if you wanna act up, D got the dumper (how you ride)
'Round here I'm ridin 30's on a Hummer
Tag on the back of it say "Boy Wonder"
Fo' 15's beats sound like thunder
The baddest girl up in here, I better get her number
When I was younger, momma said I was a dreamer
Moved to Atlanta, stayed with J.D. and Teena
Never ever though, I'd be sellin out arenas
Drivin e'rythang from a Phantom to a Beemer
Baby is you hearin what I'm sayin, I'm the real deal
{Nigga} that you wit, he a snack I'm a full meal
I see you got it in the back like Jessica Beale
But you talkin baby all I wanna know if it's trill
Now let me see
[Chorus]
Lil' mama, show me how you move it
Lil' mama, show me how you move it
Lil' lil' mama, show me how you move it
Lil' mama (shake shake that back girl) I wanna see ya
Lil' mama, show me how you move it
Lil' mama, show me how you move it
Lil' lil' mama, show me how you move it
Lil' mama (shake shake that back girl)
[Verse 3: Bow Wow]
Groove with it (groove with it) do it (do it)
Girl turn around and show me how you move it, I said
Groove with it (groove with it) do it (do it)
Girl turn around and show me how you move it
Rollin with the B it's like when you fly first class
E'rything free, much different than them dirtbags
I'm an entertainer keep you focused like a circus
God put me here to get it poppin, that's my purpose
{Niggas} say they know me cause they gettin overpowered
See I make it storm and the {bitch} make it shower
20 minutes all he got, I last four hours
So when I come around, he outta business like Tower
Baby it ain't trickin if you got it, that's the motto
Hitmakers ballin like we just hit the lotto
Front and back, y'all feel with e'ry kind of auto
Take your pick and you can bring it back tomorrow long as you let me see it
[Chorus]
Lil' mama, show me how you move it
Lil' mama, show me how you move it
Lil' lil' mama, show me how you move it
Lil' mama (shake shake that back girl) I wanna see ya
Lil' mama, show me how you move it
Lil' mama, show me how you move it
Lil' lil' mama, show me how you move it
Lil' mama (shake shake that back girl)
