Article 50 Cent- BEHIND THE MUSIC-October 13th! [Video Preview Inside]

Restrictive · 09-02-2009, 05:34 AM

Since making his entrance into the hip-hop world in the late '90s, 50 Cent has never shied away from causing a stir with his music. He's gone after some of the biggest names in rap in his lyrics and thusly has been the target of some harsh words and actions.

In a new "Behind the Music" focused on the life and career of the controversial rapper, airing on October 13, fans will get an inside look at 50's world and hear from him and the people who know him best. Fif talks about what it was like to lose his mom at a young age, his arrests and surviving being shot nine times in 2000.

"You don't know if you're actually going to survive it or not," he says in the show. "I don't know what it feels like to die, but it doesn't look like it hurts as much as a hospital bed."

The shooting left his rap career in jeopardy and he explained that it wasn't the physical pain that he had the most problems with. "The most pain I went through was the confusion," he said. "Not knowing if I'll be able to rap for a living ... [but] everything else is smaller than the loss of my mother."

The special also features friends and mentors who have helped to shape 50's life and career, including Eminem, who was one of the only people not afraid of the rapper's dangerous image after the shooting. Em said he recalled hearing Fif's music and feeling like he couldn't even compete, thinking, "This 50 sh-- — I quit."

Fif also elaborates a bit on the several high-profile feuds and beefs he's had over the span of his career, explaining, "Beefs are a part of hip-hop culture." He also comments on his treatment in the press, saying, "They find so many things to say about me. For me, it doesn't matter — I get to be the guy in the picture."

As for his drive to make it in the industry, the former drug dealer from Queens says that it's like an addiction. "I'm an addict. I'm addicted to success. It's my absolute vice."

And despite all the success, he still can't forget the fact that his mom wasn't physically there to be with him while he obtained it. He said, "If I could ask my mom a question, I'd probably ask her, 'How do I look?' 'Cause I know she's been with me the whole time."

I cant wait to see this it should be good show all the hard work he has done

BlackBauer · 09-02-2009, 01:10 PM

All the haters should watch this show and appreciate what this man has done for hip-hop.. of course his career had flaws but considering the circumstances he had when he was growing up, it's pretty damn impressive what he achieved so far. Also he didn't loose motivation to concur even higher grounds even when he was already in a position when he had everything.. you don't see that often these days..

truth be told 50's story is pretty damn impressive. ppl think he aint had it hard and hes some soft ass nigga. its the opposite. 50 aint no punk and his accomplishments should be respected. anyone who cant respect that, dont respect hiphop str8 up. you aint gotta a fan but you should at least be a man and give props where props are due.

MS DIOR · 09-02-2009, 03:34 PM

LadyValentine · 09-03-2009, 10:33 AM

yup thats true. its never a one man show. you cant mention jays success without damon dash. you cant mention russell simmons without rick rubin. you cant mention dr. dre without eazy e. cant mention kanye west without jay. of course you can list a lot more names for those ppl but the point is it always takes the right team to be successful.
