Stabbed, shot, assaulted and with a million-dollar record deal, 50 Cent lived up to the title of his debut album ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin”.
The New York native comes from the same school as B.I.G, Shine and Mobb Deep–a raw street rhymer who mixes the thug and poet in one perplexing package.
50 Cent earned extra cred by coming up through mixtape popularity after his first album was dropped when the ex-boxer was shot on the eve of its release.
Guns, threats, drug deals and misogyny populate 50 Cent’s outlaw world, but it’s a popular mix.
