50 Cent Success

50 Cent isn’t just satisfied with multi-platinum success. The hardcore rapper is effectively-recognized for selling more than 21 million records worldwide.

His thirst to take over led him to start out his personal record label and clothes line, G-Unit, act in feature movies and provide voice-over for popular video games. To not mention owning 10% of Vitamin Water, later purchased by Coca Cola for $ 4.1 billion dollars. This man will get paid.

A real survivor, 50 Cent grew up on the mean streets of South Jamaica Queens, New York the place he sold drugs on the age of twelve in the course of the 1980’s crack epidemic. He was raised by his grandmother after his mom was killed, and he was shot 9 times in front of his residence on Might 14, 2000. His survival gave the rapper a controversial and considerably mythical image. His remarkable story propels him to continue making hits and building his own fortune.

In 2003, 50 Cent released his debut album, Get Rich or Die Tryin’. It was an instant success, selling over 870,000 copies within four days. Interscope shortly granted him his personal record label, G-Unit Records, that very same year. While working with the emerging artists on his label, 50 released his sophomore album, The Massacre. It featured hits like “Just a Lil Bit” and “Candy Shop” featuring Olivia, the only lady on G-Unit records. His sophomore album was successful, selling over 5 million copies and garnering a Grammy nomination for rap album of the 12 months in 2005.

He lost that 12 months to Kanye West, and the record breaking rappers did the legendary cover of “Rolling Stone.” Each rappers had albums that dropped on September eleventh, and the release was played up by the media as a rivalry. However, they each have made it clear that it is nothing more than friendly competition.

50 Cent has been keeping busy touring round to advertise his new self-titled third album, Curtis. It is another membership banging, story telling, boastful 50 Cent classic. This album was highly anticipated by fans all over the place who needed to know what was on the rapper’s mind after letting go of Olivia, publicly beefing with rapper, Cameron, and competing with Kanye West in album sales. It alsoshows fans a different side of the rapper, a more sensual facet, with songs like “Amusement Park,” which we will assure you is not a spot for kids.

50 Cent promises followers that this yr will probably be a big year. Along with promoting his album, he just lately launched his personal movie production company, G-Unit Films. He has been working on a feature movie with Nicolas Cage, called “The Dance,” and is about to star opposite Robert DeNiro in “Righteous Kill.” With a production company, a record deal and several other different enterprise ventures under his belt, it is plain to see that there is a lot more to this rapper than meets the eye.
