Known for his impact in the hip hop industry, he has been described as a master of lyrical simplicity. [6] Born in the Southern Jamaican neighborhood of Queens, Jackson began selling drugs at age 12 during the crack epidemic of the 1980s. He then began pursuing a music career and in 2000 he produced Power of the Dollar for Columbia Records, but a few days before his planned release he was shot and the album was never released. In 2002, after Jackson released the compilation album Guess Who's Back?, he was discovered by Eminem and signed with Shady Records, under the auspices of Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records. With the help of Eminem and Dr. Dre (who produced his first major label album Get Rich or Die Tryin'), Jackson became one of the best-selling rappers in the world and became famous for the East Coast hip hop group G-Unit (which he led de facto). In 2003, he founded G-Unit Records, signing his G-Unit partners Young Buck, Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo. Jackson had similar commercial and critical success to his second album, The Massacre, which was released in 2005. She released her fifth studio album, Animal Ambition, in 2014 and in 2019 is working on her sixth studio album, Street King Immortal. He was executive-producing and starred in the show Power, which aired on Starz. [7] Jackson has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide and won several awards, including a Grammy Award, thirteen Billboard Music Awards, six World Music Awards, three American Music Awards and four BET Awards. [8] He has pursued an acting career, appearing in the semi-autobiographical films Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005), the Iraq War film Home of the Brave (2006) and Righteous Kill (2008). 50 Cent ranked sixth best artist of the 2000s and third best rapper (behind and Nelly) by Billboard. [9] ranked Get Rich or Die Tryin' and In da Club on its list of the 100 Best Albums of the 2000s and 100 Best Songs of the 2000s on numbers and 13 each. [11] Jackson's early life was born in queens, New York City, and raised in the Southern Jamaican neighborhood[4] by his mother Sabrina. A drug dealer, Sabrina raised Jackson until she died in a fire when Jackson was 8 years old. [13] After his mother's death and his father's departure, Jackson was raised by his grandmother. [14] He started boxing at the age of about 11, and when he was 14, a neighbor opened a boxing gym for local youth. When I wasn't spending time at school, I argued in the gym or sold cracks in strips, remember Jackson. [15] He sold cracks during elementary school. [16] I am competitive in the ring and hip-hop is also competitive... I think rappers condition themselves like boxers, so they all feel like they're champions. [17] At age 12, Jackson began dealing narcotics when his grandparents thought he was in an after-school program[18] and brought guns and drug money to school. In tenth grade, he was caught by a metal detector at Andrew Jackson High School: I was ashamed that I was arrested like that... After I was arrested I stopped hiding it. I told my grandmother [publicly], 'I sell drugs.' [19] On June 29, 1994, Jackson was arrested for selling four bottles of cocaine to an undercover police officer. He was arrested again three weeks later, when police searched his home and found heroin, ten ounces of crack cocaine and an initial handgun. Although Jackson was sentenced to three to nine years in prison, he served six months in boot camp and got his GED. He has said that he did not use cocaine himself. [14] Jackson adopted the nickname 50 Cent as a metaphor for change. [22] His name was inspired by Kelvin Martin, a 1980s Brooklyn robber known as 50 Cent; Jackson chose it because he said everything I wanted to say. I'm the same type of person as 50 Cent. I provide for myself in any way. [23] 1996–2002 career: Rose to fame, shooting, and jackson's early mixtape began raping in a friend's basement, where he used turntables to record more than instrumentals. [24] In 1996, a friend introduced him to Jam Master Jay of Run-DMC, who founded Jam Master Jay Records. Jay taught him how to count bars, write choirs, compose songs and make recordings. [26] Jackson's first appearance was on React with Onyx, for their 1998 album Shut 'Em Down. He praised Jam Master Jay for improving his ability to write hooks,[17] and Jay produced Jackson's first album (un released). [13] In 1999, after Jackson left Jam Master Jay, the platinum sales producer of Trackmasters to Columbia Records. They sent him to a studio in upstate New York, where he produced thirty-six songs in two weeks; [12] eighteen were included in his 2000 album Power of the Dollar. [27] Jackson founded Hollow Point Entertainment with former G-Unit member Bang 'Em Smurf. [28] Jackson's popularity began. grew up after the successful and controversial underground single How to Rob, which he wrote on a half-hour car journey to the studio. [22] The song comicly describes how he would rob famous artists. Jackson explained the reason for the song: There are a hundred artists on that label, you have to separate yourself from that group and make yourself relevant. [22] Rappers Jay-Z, , Sticky Fingaz, Big Pun, DMX, Wyclef Jean and the Wu-Tang Clan responded to the track,[30] and invited Jackson to join him on his Nastradamus tour. [31] Although How to Rob was meant to be released with Thug Love (with Destiny's Child), two days before he was scheduled to shoot the music video for Thug Love, Jackson was shot and hospitalized. [32] On May 24, 2000, Jackson was attacked by a gunman outside his grandmother's former home in South Jamaica. After getting into his friend's car, he was asked to return home to get jewelry; her son was at home, and his grandmother was in the front yard. [Citation needed] Jackson returned to the back seat of the car, and another car stopped nearby; an attacker walks and unleashes nine shots from close range with a 9mm pistol. Jackson was shot in the hand, arm, hip, both legs, chest, and left cheek. [13] [19] Cuts to his face resulted in a swollen tongue, loss of wisdom teeth and a slight slurry voice; [19] [31] [34] His friend was wounded in the hand. They were taken to a hospital, where Jackson spent thirteen days. The alleged attacker, Darryl Baum, a close friend and bodyguard of Mike Tyson's,[35] was killed three weeks later. [36] Jackson recalled the shooting: It happened so fast that you didn't even get a chance to shoot back.... I'm scared all the time... I was looking in the rearview mirror like, 'Oh, someone shot me in the face! Burns, burns, burns.' [19] In his autobiography, From Pieces to Weight: Once upon a Time in Southside Queens, he wrote: 'After I was shot nine times at close range and did not die, I began to think that I should have a purpose in life ... How much more damage can the shell do? Give me an inch in this direction or that one, and I'm leaving. [14] Jackson used a walker for six weeks and fully recovered after five months. When she left the hospital she stayed in the Poconos with her boyfriend and son, and her exercise regime helped her develop a muscular physique. [19] At the hospital Jackson signed a publishing deal with Columbia Records before he was dropped from the label and blacklisted by the record industry for his song Ghetto Qu'ran. Unable to work in a US studio, he went to Canada. [39] With business partner Sha Money XL, Jackson recorded more than thirty songs. mixtapes to build a reputation. In a HitQuarters interview, Marc Labelle of Shady Records A&Amp;A; R says that Jackson used mixtape circuitry to his advantage: He took it all beat each artist and flip it with a better hook. They then get into all the markets on mixtapes and all dj mixtapes mess them up. [40] Jackson's popularity increased, and in 2002 he released the mixtape Guess Who's Back?. He later released 50 Cent Is the Future supported by G-Unit, a return material mixtape by Jay-Z and Raphael Saadiq. [27] 2002–2007: Mainstream breakthroughs, Get Rich or Die Tryin', and The Massacre 50 Cent in 2006 In 2002, Eminem heard Jackson's Guess Who's Back? CD, received from Jackson's attorney (who worked with Eminem's manager, Paul Rosenberg). [32] Impressed, Eminem invited Jackson to fly to Los Angeles and introduced him to Dr. Dre. [13] After signing a $1 million record deal,[25] Jackson released No Mercy, No Fear. The mixtape features one new song, Wanksta, which appears on Eminem's 8 Mile soundtrack. [27] Jackson was also signed by Chris Lighty's Violator Management and Sha Money XL's Money Management Group. [Citation needed] Jackson released his debut album, Get Rich or Die Tryin' (described by AllMusic as perhaps the most hyped debut album by a rap artist in about a decade), in February 2003. [41] Rolling Stone recorded dark synth grooves, lively keyboards, and constantly funky reflections, with Jackson complementing the production in a relaxed flow that could not be applied. [42] It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, selling 872,000 copies in its first four days. [43] The lead single, In da Club (recorded by The Source for its blaring horns, funky organ, guitar riffs, and rare applause),[44] set billboard records as the most listened to song in radio history in a week's time. [45] Olivia, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, and 50 Cent (left to right) in Bangkok, February 2006 Interscope gave Jackson his own label, G-Unit Records, in 2003. [46] He signed Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo and Young Buck as members of the G-Unit, and The Game later signed with Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment. In March 2005, Jackson's second commercial album, The Massacre, sold 1.14 million copies in its first four days (the highest in the abbreviated sales cycle[43]) and number one on the Billboard 200 for six weeks. [47] She was the first solo artist with three singles in billboard's top five in the same week as Candy Shop, Disco Inferno and How We Do. [48] According to Rolling Stone, the secret weapon of the 50s was the sound of his singing - the deceptively amateur-sounding tenor croon he deployed in almost every choir. [49] After The Game's departure Jackson signed Olivia and rap veteran Mobb Deep to G-Unit Records, with Spider Loc, M.O.P., 40 Glocc and Young Hot Rod later joining the all of which eventually left the label. [51] Jackson expressed interest in working with rappers other than G-Unit, such as Lil' Scrappy of BME, LL Cool J of Def Jam, Mase of Bad Boy and and Roc-A-Fella, and recorded with some. [52] 2007–2010: Curtis, a sales battle with Kanye West, and Before I Self Destruct In September 2007 Jackson released his third album, Curtis, inspired by his life before Get Rich or Die Tryin'. [53] It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, selling 691,000 copies during its first week. [54] Sold on the back of Kanye West's graduation, it was released on the same day; the result of this highly publicized sales battle between Jackson and West has been accredited to the commercial decline of gangsta rap style and the bling era that previously dominated mainstream hip-hop. [55] On the September 10, 2008 episode of Total Request Live Jackson said her fourth studio album, Before I Self Destruct, would be performed and released in November. He released Ok, You're Right, produced by Dr. Dre for Before I Self Destruct, on May 18, 2009 and is scheduled to appear in the fall 2009 episode of VH1's Behind the Music. On September 3, 2009 Jackson posted a video [56] for the Soundkillers' Phoenix-[57] producing the song, Flight 187, introducing his mixtape and book (The 50th Law). The song, with lyrics that inspired speculation about the tension between Jackson and Jay-Z, is a bonus track on the iTunes version of Before I Self Destruct. [58] Before I Self Destruct was released on November 9, 2009. 2010–2015: New music direction, new business ventures, and Animal Ambition 50 Cent perform in 2010 In a Contactmusic.com interview, Jackson says he's working on a Eurodance album, Black Magic, inspired by European nightclubs: First they play hip-hop that suddenly turns into an uptempo song, known as Eurodance. [59] She later said she had changed her next album to The Return of the Heartless Monster after writing different material when she returned home from the Invitation Tour in 2010, racking up Black Magic. [60] On September 3, Jackson supported Eminem on the Home & Tour. Jay-Z's house, featuring Crack A Bottle with Eminem and Dr. Dre amid rumors of tension between Jackson and Dre. [63] She recorded 20 songs to a completely different concept album before putting it aside,[64] wanting her new album to have the aggression of Get Rich or Die Tryin'. [66] Jackson tweeted that the album was 80 percent performed and fans can expect it in the summer of 2011. It was eventually delayed by a year due to a disagreement with Interscope Records, with Jackson saying that he would release it in November 2011[67] under a different title from Black Magic. [67] Eminem would appear on the album, and Jackson said he was working with new producers such as Boi-1da and Alex da Kid. Cardiak, who produced Lloyd Banks' Start It Up, confirmed that he produced the song for the album. [69] Jackson released the song, Outlaw, from her fifth album on the Internet on June 16, 2011. [70] The single produced by Cardiak was released on on July 19[71] (although Jackson tweeted that it wasn't the album's first single). [72] The rapper plans to write a semi-autobiographical young adult novel about abuse, in contrast to previous books focusing on his life and the rules of power. According to the book's publisher, the first-person novel (about a 13-year-old school yard bully who finds redemption as he faces what he does)[73] is scheduled for publication in January 2012. In a series of tweets, Jackson said that the delay of his fifth album was due to a disagreement with Interscope Records,[67] later indicating that it would be released in November 2011 with his headphone line (SMS by 50). [67] She speculated to MTV News about not renewing her five-album contract with Interscope: I don't know ... This will all be clear in negotiations after I change this actual album in and, of course, the performance and how they actually treat the work will determine whether you still want to stay in that position or not. [74] On June 20, 2011, Jackson announced the release of Before I Self Destruct II after her fifth album. [75] Although she planned to record the music video for the lead single of her fifth album, I'm On It, on June 26,[76] the video was never filmed. [77] Jackson told Shade45, I did four songs in with Eminem. I did two with Just Blaze, boi-1da together, and I did something with Alex da Kid. We made two that were definitely singles and the other two were the kind of records we've made, more aimed at my core audience, more aggressive, more of a different kind of energy to it. [78] He released the Street King Energy Track #7 september 2011 to promote Street King, his charity-based energy drink. [79] An announcement that Jackson was recording the music video for Girls Go Wild, the lead single for the fifth album featuring Jeremih, was made on September 28, 2011.

[258] In several songs on Doctor's Advocate, he implied that the feud was over. He said in July 2009 that the feud had ended with help from Michael Jackson and Diddy,[259] and requested for his actions. [260] According to Tony Yayo, neither Jackson nor G-Unit accepted his apology[261] and The Game has continued his call for G-Unot G-Unot at the concert. Jackson released So Disrespectful on Before I Self Destruct, which targeted Jay-Z, The Game and Young Buck. [262] The Game responded with Shake, poking fun at the music video for Jackson's Candy Shop. On August 1, 2016, 50 Cent ended his twelve-year feud with The Game when the two were at Ace of Diamonds Strip Club and The Game said What happened, that 12 years ago. [263] Although Rick Ross began a feud with Jackson over an alleged incident at the 2008 BET Hip Hop Awards, Jackson told news sources he did not remember seeing Ross there. [264] Later that month Ross Mafia Music was leaked on the Internet, with lyrics apparently disparaging jackson. A few days later, Jackson released Officer Ricky (Go Head, Try Me) in response to Mafia Music. The next day, Ross appeared on Shade 45 (Eminem's Sirius channel) and told Jackson to come up with something better in 24 hours. Before leaving for Venezuela, Jackson uploaded a video (Warning Shot, telling Ross I'm a fuck your life up for fun[citation needed]) and the first of a series of Cartoons of Officer Ricky. In early February he uploaded a YouTube video in which he interviewed Tia, the mother of one of Ross's children; According to him, Ross is in fact a correctional officer. [265] On February 5, 2009, The Game called Seattle radio station KUBE. Asked about the dispute between Jackson and Ross, he sided with Jackson and offered to mediate: Rick Ross, holla on your son, man and 50 eat you, boy. [266] On his album Deeper Than Rap, Ross refers to Jackson in In Cold Blood and Jackson's mock funeral is part of the song's video. When the song was released, Ross said that he ended Jackson's career. Rick Ross is CB4's Albert. Have you seen the movie? He's Albert, Jackson said in an interview. It's never been worse than this. You get a guy who's a correctional officer out and bases his entire career on writing material from the perspective of a drug dealer like Freeway Ricky Ross. [268] Their feud resurfaced at the 2012 BET Hip Hop Awards, where members Jackson and G-Unit Kidd Kidd, Mike Knox, Tony Yayo were seen in a video attacking Gunplay (a member of Ross' Maybach Music Group). The Maybach Music diamond necklace from Gunplay was stolen during a fight, and a few days later Jackson showed up at a Washington, D.C. bowling alley wearing the Gunplay chain. [269] On January 30, 2013, Jackson tweeted that Ross's attempted driving-by shooting on his birthday three days earlier was staged. [270] On August 9, 2020, 50 Cent and Rick Ross ended their feud of Discography Main article: discography album 50 and single discography 50 Cent Main article: G-Unit discography main article: List of awards and nominations received by Studio 50 Cent album Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2003) The Massacre (2005) Curtis (2007) Before I Self Destruct (2007) Before I Self Destruct Destruct (2007) Before I Self Destruct (2014) Album kolaboratif Street King Immortal (TBA) Beg for Mercy (dengan G-Unit) (2003) T· O· S (Terminate on Sight) (dengan G-Unit) (2008) Filmografi Film Tahun Judul Role Notes 2005 Get Rich or Die Tryin' Marcus Young Caesar Greer Peran utama 2006 Home of the Brave Spc.
