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: Obie Trice]
Yeah
[Chorus: 50 Cent]
I got what you need, if you smoke that dro mane
I got what you need, if you sniff that cocaine
I got what you need, if you shoot that heroin
I'm a hustler, I'm 'bout my money mane
I got what you need, if you smoke that dro mane
I been on the block all day, it's slow mane
I stay on the block, rain, sleet or snow
Cause I'm a hustler baby, I'm 'bout my money mane
[Verse 1: Obie Trice]
Listen niggas, I'm a hustler
Nickle and dime brother
A young motherfucker
Hold my toaster
Catch me on the corner with hoes in my Rustlers
Wrestlers chasing the cheddar to live better
[?] cheating the weather
[?] goose [?] sweaters, just so I could be Santa
So my baby [?] speak, it's efficient manners
She ain't fucking with daddy if he don't pamper
Nigga I tamper with the smoke
Scramble with the dope
But I can't surpass an O
Nigga I'm hopeless
Hoping a good week come, so I can re-up coke and
Cop me an eighth, [?] man
This disrespect's the game I've chosen
I am not a bully on the block, I got pull on the block
The older cats know I' rep the hood when we hollar
Take tops off of dollars
Just to eat lunch meat
[?] cheese a feast to me
Specially when you down and out, your peeps know what your surroundings about
They let you in the house for a quick shower
Might give you an hour
Then it's back to that sour ass droubt, what them streets about
[?] out
Running [?] house, your man's eyes open for policing rout
[Chorus: 50 Cent]
I got what you need, if you smoke that dro mane
I got what you need, if you sniff that cocaine
I got what you need, if you shoot that heroin
I'm a hustler, I'm 'bout my money mane
I got what you need, if you smoke that dro mane
I been on the block all day, it's slow mane
I stay on the block, rain, sleet or snow
Cause I'm a hustler baby, I'm 'bout my money mane
[Verse 2: 50 Cent]
I'm your neighborhood pusher, I move dope by the bundle
Southside Jamaica Queens, welcome to the jungle
First the D's locked me up, then OG's shot me up
Willpower got me up, I told you I'm a soldier
Send me the [?] sample, my [?] one time
Took a hit [?] woke up and said "that's about a nine"
I got that potent product up on the block, plus spots
[?] shots, nigga
Get out of line, tryna [?] blow your mind
With the nine at your ankles and your spine
You can't tell I'm borderline crazy
Crazy till it's too late, you done played me
And I'm finna lay your punk ass out
Look, you go against me, you're fucked, [?]
[?] apartment [?], Ask for Buck
He gon' serve you the raw uncut
G G G G-Unit, nigga that's what's up
[Chorus: 50 Cent]
I got what you need, if you smoke that dro mane
I got what you need, if you sniff that cocaine
I got what you need, if you shoot that heroin
I'm a hustler, I'm 'bout my money mane
I got what you need, if you smoke that dro mane
I been on the block all day, it's slow mane
I stay on the block, rain, sleet or snow
Cause I'm a hustler baby, I'm 'bout my money mane
