A popular and very successful gangsta rapper from Queens. A lot of people on this website seem to believe that he is some kind of "studio gangta", "fake", or "poser". However in reality, regardless of what you think of his music, it's obvious he WAS a real gangster, as he grew up in the ghetto with hustlers, criminals and killers all around him (including his mother), and it is documented fact that he was arrested several times and served time in prison for drug dealing before he became a famous rapper. He is clearly a lot more real than all these faggots who talk shit.
I'm not a huge fan of 50 Cent, but I respect his hustle. You haters need to get off his dick and get a life.

1) A rapper who sold drugs at the age of 12. He got arrested at least 3 times from police checking his stuff and finding guns and drugs crack. He is loved by many and hated by many, too. Just remember "Hate it or luv it the underdogs on top." A person who is hated by Aussies and Brits and other people who think he is a snitch but all those people dont know the hood he came from and what he did. He cant "make up" hospital and police records. THIS IS THE TRUTH. I DONT HAVE A REAL SIDE BUT EVERYBODY WHO HATES HIM SEEMS TO BE WANNABES WHO HE WILL PROBABLY CAP AT IF HE WANTS TO AND LOST BOYZ GANG WILL KILL DEY AZS OUT.
2) A gangster out of Brooklyn, NY who grew up in the projects and robbed and killed just to survive. He has been shot many times and the final time he had been shot up was in a hallway and he died in a hospital later on that day.
3) 2 quarters.

1) A rapper. Has a lot of haters as you can see by reading the definitions. Most of the people that hate him just hate rap. He's a decent rapper, you may not think so after "The Massacre" but he was much better on "Get Rich or Die Trying". He is a true gangsta, he really was shot 9 times. If you listen to "Get Rich or Die Trying" you will see that he is hardcore, not just a mainstream rapper. He hates Ja Rule and disses him in many of his songs. Leader of rap group "G-Unit" which consists of himself, Young Buck, Lloyd Banks, and Tony Yayo. The Game was kicked out of G-Unit for disrespecting 50. The feud was not fake.
50 Cent is a good rapper, along with Eminem,OutKast, Kanye West, AfroMan, Akon, Young Jeezy, Lil' Jon, Ice Cube, Lil' Scrappy, Mike Jones, Slim Thug, DMX, Lloyd Banks, Obie Trice, D12, D4l, Three6Mafia, Chingy etc.
