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

Spider Loc (Verse)-
all money aint good money, this i know
but i still love hood money, i gets my dough
and as a youngster, that nigga went through so much drugs
that still turned out fucked up, i did so much dirt
told to bang the neighbourhood, i put in so much work
did a whole lot of time, caused mom so much hurt
on everythang, that boy wasnt done on purpose
who knew that all my darkness was really gon' surface
i was stuck on that bullshit jus runnin' the streets
without some type of beef, the week wasnt complete
its like a nigga felt better after dumpin this heat
on feet, just to see the body slumped in the seat
its like a whole 'nother rush to me, bussin' was sweet
now im smarter, im all about something to eat
im on the road spend 30 days a month in the suite
but im still gon' hustle and cheat, Lets Go Now!
50 Cent (Chorus)-
Nigga, things change
they dont stay the same
now watch me come up
i hustle, i hustle even harder
i put that work in to win, no problem
Nigga, things change
they dont stay the same
now watch me come up
i hustle, i hustle even harder
i put that work in to win, no problem
Lloyd Banks (Verse)-
Yeah, uh..
Now walkin down the block without your weapon
is a first class ticket to a lesson (uh huh)
i first cast ??tickets?? to perfection, me and Ben got a connection (yeah)
thats why i bring the Benz out to impress him (yeah)
caught in my zone, all alone, homes rattlin' my bones
cuz he yappin' off his lips and if i hit him i be wrong
cuz he aint never gon' be shit, i done work so hard
but i will make you a corner of the cob, you be performin for God
either that or rob you on your boulevard
bet you never thought for a second niggaz would pull your ?????
i dont know about y'all star, cuz my nigga gone
H.P tatted on me so his memory lives on
engagin in drama without your llama
there'll be funeral arrangements for your momma
i learnt that when i was in pyjamas watchin Micheal and Madonna
now i got the appetite of a piranna, nigga
50 Cent (Chorus)-
Nigga, things change
they dont stay the same
now watch me come up
i hustle, i hustle even harder
i put that work in to win, no problem
Nigga, things change

i put that work in to win, no problem
Spider Loc (Verse)-
Haha.. Haha
When nobody knows all the walls you go through
you cant even talk to those that supposedly know you
some of the levels that these people'll go to, for drugs
damn tell me, is this what that dough do?
thats when you find yourself talkin to ??road dudes??
theres not to many people who ever can walk in Loc shoes
its good as hell that my heart contains
i explain, so many different parts of pain
im clean, but still some marks remain
from the past, when that crushed weed sparks to brang
the cash made some people start to change
i feel hate when i pulled up and parked the range
ya damn right i got rich, but my heart the same
and practice makes perfect with the harder aim
you aint really got the heart to bang
you aint start to hang, till you find out our cards are changed..
50 Cent (Chorus)-
Nigga, things change
they dont stay the same
now watch me come up
i hustle, i hustle even harder
i put that work in to win, no problem
Nigga, things change
they dont stay the same
now watch me come up
i hustle, i hustle even harder
i put that work in to win, no problem
