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: Havoc (50 cent)]
It's the infamous mobb, m-o-b-b (ha ha)
We can't be touched nigga can't you see (g-unit!!!)
[50 cent:]
You do you man cause me I'm 'gon do my thang, you know I do my
Thang
I'ma get my drink on and party like it's ok
[Verse 1: 50 cent]
Trust me man it's ok, bounce with me in slow mo
When they hear the kid in the house it's like: Oh no
50 got 'em locin again, they open again
Got 'em sipping on that juice and gin
You could find me in the background burning that backwood
Styling and stunting doing my two step fronting
Now I'ma tell you what em told me, homey
Just lose the parental discretion's advised, this is grown folk
Music
Now blend in with me, as I proceed to break it down
It's always off the chain man when I'm around
I play the block bumping, it was all for the dough
I get the club jumping, cause I'm sick with flow
You know it's sold out, like wherever I go
I jam packed the show man that's for sure
I got the info you already know
Man I get it popping in the club, everybody show me love, let's go
[Chorus: 50 cent]
You, know, I, got, what it takes to make the club go outta
Control
Quit playin turn the music up a little bit, bounce with me now
Shorty let's get into it
You, know, I, got, what it takes to make the club go outta
Control
Quit playin turn the music up a little bit, bounce with me now
Homey let's get into it
[Verse 2: Havoc]
You wanna search me for certain but hurry up cause I'm
Thirsty
I need that, grind in my system p, on my side twisting
In the club today for the chick to go both
Ways, let me see that id
Just for proof
With the drink till the burn is gone, hit the dancefloor like a
Scene from soft porn
Before it pop, make em sign a disclaimer
Try to get me on some pac shit these tricks will frame ya
But, in any event, keep fucking with 50 it makes sense
Cents, into them dollars, the hoes wanna holler
But you lookin at a nigga that done came from the squalor
Now my buddy so gone I can pop your collar
Now if I don’t say nothin, let me see you swallow
In the club got the co-ed back the new problem
In the club feed them liquor of the wise I'm starving
So much green gettin twisted like botanical garden, let's go
[Chorus: 50 cent]
You, know, I, got, what it takes to make the club go outta
Control
Quit playin turn the music up a little bit, bounce with me now
Shorty let's get into it
You, know, I, got, what it takes to make the club go outta
Control
Quit playin turn the music up a little bit, bounce with me now
Homey let's get into it
[Verse 3: Prodigy]
You already know how it go, I bang, I shine
I play, I stay I'm going for mine
I'm young, I'm black, I'm rich and yes
I'm ghetto than the motherfucking project steps
I'm cool, I'm calm you looking real stressed
I'm strapped I'm armed kid, hold your head
I'm known for gat popping, when I got problems
I don't run, I just gun you all up
But we ain't come here to start no drama
We just looking for our future baby mamas
With money with face with style and body
I cook I clean I swear that mami
Just as long as you don't go off and tell nobody
I go down low, I'm lying I'm trying my best to let you know
Sugar pop get at p the doc beat make it easy to get 'em in the
Bed sheets
[Chorus: 50 cent]
You, know, I, got, what it takes to make the club go outta
Control
Quit playin turn the music up a little bit, bounce with me now
Shorty let's get into it
You, know, I, got, what it takes to make the club go outta
Control
Quit playin turn the music up a little bit, bounce with me now
Homey let's get into it
