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]
Is this mic on?
Ladies and gentlemen
I'd like to thank you all for coming out tonight
For the screening of my new film
I'm Not Rich I'm Still Lyin'
It's 50 Cent starring as Game, it's autobiographical
I hope you enjoy yourself
[Verse 1: 50 impersonating Game's voice]
50 callin me crazy, I might be just maybe
I'm gangsta, I'm crippin',Damu, too, I'm trippin'
Fuck 50, fuck Dre, fuck N.W.A
Man, I'm Hurricane Game (Em, this nigga changed)
I brought the west back, I write the best raps
(But what about Snoop?) Snoop's shit ain't all that
And I get bad bitches now, I even fucked Mýa
(I fucked her first, Game) 50 you a liar,
See that's why I hate you, you think you know me
I'ma tell everybody you shot my homie
I hope the police get you and you go to jail
The feds freeze your accounts so you can't make bail
I hope everybody on G-Unit go to hell
With Eminem, Obie, Stat Quo and D-12
So what I was on Change of Heart?, so what I was a stripper?
So what I never banged? I'm from Compton, nigga!
[Hook]
Now horror films, they scare me
I watch action films very rarely
When it's comedy or it's drama
It's starrin' me, no problem
Now, horror films they scare me
I watch action films very rarely
When it's comedy or it's drama
It's starrin' me, no problem
[Verse 2]
G-G-G-G-Unot!I got my own shoe (Game that shit ain't gon' sell)
So? The ad's in the magazines, nobody can't tell
(Good luck wit yo next album man I hope it does well)
You tryna be funny, D-Mack got all my money
And Jimmy robbin me, they listenin probably
Me and Fase had a fall out, he really not my brother
We got the same father but we got different mothers
Now Suge punked Dre, but he don't punk me
I won a Vibe Award this year, nobody punched me
(Game you know I wrote that hook for "Hate It or Love It")
So what? It's still on my trophy case, I think nothing of it
[Hook]
Now, horror films they scare me
I watch action films very rarely
When it's comedy or it's drama
It's starrin' me, no problem
Now, horror films they scare me
I watch action films very rarely
When it's comedy or it's drama
It's starrin' me, no problem
[Outro: 50 Cent]
