50 Cent's New Book- From Pieces to Weight : Once Upon a Time in Southside Queens

50 Cent Book.jpg

Let me guess- the book starts off with, "Growing up I was confused, my momma kissing a girl..." Then he gets shot. Then he gets stabbed. Then he goes platinum. There, I just saved ya'll $25.

How come white people don't hate Em the way black people hate 50? Or the way they use to hate Biggie (claiming he was commercial)?

Posted by: spitfire at August 5, 2005 07:59 PM

I like The Game. 50 has become too commercial. Real gangsta's dont got bodyguards...By the way the GAME is Pretty Damn Good if you ask me.

Ya'll people hating on 50 r crazy!50 knows how 2 rap.its like all his records are hits.What more would any rapper ask for?

Posted by: george at August 6, 2005 03:38 AM

If anything 50 know how to capitilize off another nicca name. As far as rappin' goes, he used to know how to rap now that nicca so commercial when his songs come on I take a cigarette break.

I have to say this just because a rapper has a bodyguard don't mean he ain't gangsta more time a bodyguard is there so these RICH rappers don't get sued by the haters

MAYN, I CANT BELIEVE THAT SOHH.COM IS STR8 HATING ON 50 CENT... THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A RAP MAG. RIGHT?? WELL FIDDY IS THE HOTTEST RAPPER OUT FOR LIKE TWO THREE YEARS NOW, AND HASHIM AND SOHH.COM STR8 HATES ON HIM.. I GUESS THEY UPSET THAT FIDDY DOESNT LIKE THIS SITE..NEITHER DO I, I GET MY INFO FROM ALLHIPHOP.COM THATS THE BEST RAP MAG OUT AND THEY AINT BIASED... YEA I KNOW HASHIM KNOWS ALL OF FIDDYS SONGS WHICH IS WHY I WONDER WHY HE HATES ON HIM ON THIS SITE.. LET ME TELL YOU 50 CENT HAS A LOT MORE TO SAY THAN "HASHIM" AND ID BET IT WOULD BE TRUTHFULL AND INTERESTING...

Posted by: MIKE,SW,HTOWN at August 7, 2005 09:03 AM

Yo, the truth is 50 is not really all that good as a rapper. he appeals to the youths misguided interpretation of whatr it means to be street. the smae way i use to idolize kool g rap and rakim and big daddy kane. i thought a gold rope chain equaled success and street cred. 50 is nomore gangsta than any other rapper out. its an image. you might not like his music but dont hate on the fact that he pimed the rap game to the fullest. he has provided what the people want. you cant blame him for that.he has taken over a rap genre that has been diluted over the years. the sad thing is that this brother will end up getting killed trying to live up to the street life. same way the streets took Big and Pac.

50 cent is a genius...outta control featuring mop and mobb deep is fcuking mint......game ain't sh*t goin the anger management tour in manchester.......GGGG G-UNIT!!!!!!!

Posted by: tim at August 8, 2005 09:59 AM

I think that 50 cent is a BIG Marketing genius but he is not the peller of marketing greats. He is not the so called heavyweight champion, but he has marketed his self and his gay ass group and label Gay Unit pretty good! He is one of those people LUV him or Hate him that has gone beyond limits to become a model for advertising and marketing. I suggest any young up and coming marketing or advertisment directors to take note on how to guide a gay ass name into a marketing multi- million dollar venture i.e. Sean P-Diddy Combs.

Posted by: G -U -NOT at August 8, 2005 02:08 PM

Stop hating on the man 50! Yeah, his ass is over-exposed and if he`s as business-savvy as he seems he`s gonna stop doing that.

But y`all gotta look at what he`s done. The man just works, works, works, he aint drinking and promoting drugs in interviews. He said bout drinking that he doesn`t do it - he grew up around alcoholics. That`s ghetto, that`s real.

He aint on some trippy, stoned, oblivious one way tour to nowhere. Sure 50 is helped by the black wannabes of white kids who buy a lot of his stuff but that doesn`t take away from the man himself. Stop hating on a talented brother with a work ethic.

He deserves his money unlike fools like Jim Jones and the Diplomats bitching about racism and the music industry but collecting the ans for being mediocre at best.

Rap`s paying a damn lot of no-hopers like Memphis Bitch, Jim Jones and the Young Gunz. Trash. Rap trash. Shut your mouths and be thankful you can earn a living by being damn appalling at what you do. Ah, and let`s not forget Jim`s friend Hell Rell - if you don`t like my songs you`re hating. What a loser bitch.

Damn - 50 deserves his money and fame!

It's like this... 50 is just taking advantage of his opportunities just trying to get rich off of his 15 minutes. Remember how he was before he got shot......he was Memphis Bleek, he was Sheek, a str8 B-list rapper with some potential. He lost weight from getting shot and got aligned with white businessmen who decided at that moment they wanted a piece of the rap game. Combine that with massive airplay, catchy music, an image and there's 50's career. He will eventually be overexposed and fall back like every other next big thing. I'm not trying to bad mouth 50, he ain't my favorite rapper but I can't hate on nobody for trying to still pimp the game in some way while still being the ho. I don't think Michael Dyson has any new competition for this book, hell New Kids on the Block came out with a book, I copped LL's book back in the 10th grade, you'd be surprised at who came out with a book. The point is this you can't really hate on 50 for capitalizing off of his opportunities but at the same time jump the hell up off of that man's dick. He is the face of an industry that exploits and robs our culture.

I'm going to keep this short as possible

I'm not a game fan nor a fifty fan because I don't listen to either.

even though I don't listen to the music I read the news and even if you don't like this person fifty cent You've got to respect him..He is All about business and he is making that money

In regards to game he says sorry alot, and it really does appear that he is hating. He does appear to have womanly tendacies????

I'm not going to disrespect anyone on here but I would like to pull your coat on a little something something.


Focus on what you then try to better yourself, listen it does not matter if you love them or hate them it's a job and they're going to get paid regardless.

Going to prison does not make you gagsta, it makes you stupid and this is coming from an ex ride or die chick who did 10 years for Armed Robbery

who is now happily married, and making that money (LEGALLY)

My comments are not directed to anyone in particular, so don't get bent out of place

PEACE

50 cent is cashing in on the whole guns, bitches, and money thing. The kids who idolize 50 are the furthest people from the ones who claim to live it, and those who in turn, actually DO.
I guess these days it's cool to kill people, and sell drugs, and smack up hoes. 50 is nobody special, he's just making money off the fact that he got shot, which makes him "gangster". But if he didn't survive the shooting, he'd just be another dead mother fucker. I would have liked him much better that way.

ur a bunch of idiots 50 is awsome

Posted by: - at August 11, 2005 08:23 AM

50 at da moment is 1 of da biggest n best rappers alive, and now dat jay z is out of da rap game it is time 4 a new king of hip-hop & with-out a doubt it will either b 50 or Game cos they have da most 2 offer and r both lyrical geniuses. Evry 1 liked dem both weneva they wer G-Unit but now that they r rivals ppl av bin forced 2 choose sides, i think dat 50 is better, hes made music thats fire and he doesnt quit he is always comin up wit sumtin new and unique a bonafide hustler but Game shudnt b dissed cos hes doin his own thin on a different label, i ope now dat Game doesnt av da help of G-Unit he can continue 2 make gr8 music on da same level, 300 bars and runnin mite b hatin on alot of ppl but it is mint, ne 1 hu can rap 4 dat long deserves 2 b recognised as gr8, 50s new book is goin 2 b hot like summer and im definately goin 2 get it

Posted by: conor at August 11, 2005 02:17 PM

yo this is the truth, 50z str8 up gangsta but hez tryin ta act soft sumtimes, and it dont work. On the other hand The Game neva acts soft, hez gangsta and thats all he is. so all u haters out there, stop takin sides, they can both spit. They cant work together tho, so thats y the Game is signin wit the Diplomats, YEa

Posted by: rapgame at August 13, 2005 09:59 PM

Posted by: O.G. at August 14, 2005 11:44 PM

Alright!!Alright!! Now lets get something straight..50 he used to be a gangsta then went hollywood now that he's being called out by Game to see whos gangsta, now he wants to be gangsta again..and yea i understand that money talks,especially when you see money like 50..im sure him and game do get along..but when you see the kind of money they are seeing right now thanks to the drama between the two they arent gonna stop seeing money for a while and all the other rappers getting involved just wanna peice of the cake too..i mean its the best marketing scheme..just like sex sells so does beef.

Posted by: mora at August 15, 2005 07:33 PM

50 is the best just like to Em. You should take example of what he has made of his life. he stared with nothin and made some big. He's has sold the must cd's in sound scan history, And is the only artist since the Bettles to have 4 tracks on billbords hot 100. But he got all that by working hard. So dont hate him for doing some with his life that many can not, but try to follow him. And 50 is the best just like Em but thay doint hate each other thay help each other out. G-Unit!

Posted by: g at August 15, 2005 08:22 PM

You guys are way off the topic. Ta hell with Game and whether or not 50 is gangsta. I just finished the book and he says that gangstas cant be rappers b/c gangstas are in the streets or taking advantage of somebody. He said he has a gangsta past and he wants out and does not want to go back.
The book is excellent and he talks about his vulnerable moments when he was scared of guns and wasnt sure he could shoot somebody. But he learned by being around other thugs. ]
The book is really good and has a message. I definately recommend it to people who dont like 50 b/c you will see him in another light
ALso, it is ok to like 50 and Game...I do!

Posted by: Lene B at August 15, 2005 09:34 PM

Man all yall get off 50 dick.really get off all rappers dick. being a gangsta in rap is an oxymoran, cause all dis shit deeze niggas talk bout day aint doin' no more. if day even was in the first place. My niggas on da street is da ones really killin and sellin drugs takein penetentury* chances everyday. I love what most da rappers is talkin bout, but if i saw one of them in my hood they could walk a block even if they wasnt rappers and was paid. And dats real. An if u dont belive it den u jus stupid. Aint tryin to play nobody jus tellein it like it is. New orleans 7th Ward HardHead all day
