1/18/2011STEVEN ZAKHIA I AM HERE!17BIOGRAPHYBorn in the South Jamaica section of Queens, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson has lived in New York City all his life. Raised by his grandparents after his father ran out and his mother was shot when he was only eight. Growing up, the Queens rapper originally wanted to be a heavyweight boxer, but eventually fell back on rapping. In 1999 his album Power of the Dollar, was heavily bootlegged and Trackmasters/Columbia never released it. Supposedly, Trackmasters weren't comfortable with him being caught up in the streets and getting shot three days before filming the video for "Thug Love," (with Destiny's Child) -- his first single. 50 was shot three times that night, two shots hitting him in the head, the bullet that struck his face he carries as a reminder of what happened. That event led to the fall out with Columbia and negotiating his release from their grasps.1/18/2011STEVEN ZAKHIA BIOGRAPHY1850 CENT

This all changed in one night when Eminem said on a radio show that "50 Cent is definitely my favorite rapper right now, he's the only one keeping it real." The very next day a bidding war started on 50, ending when 50 signed to Eminem's very own label Shady/Aftermath. 50 Cent's fame has exploded, being produced by Dr. Dre and Eminem and finally making his debut album "Get rich or Die Tryin'. 1/18/2011STEVEN ZAKHIA He still showed love and rhymed over a Trackmasters produced remix of "I'm Gonna Be Alright" on J-Lo's latest album, but rivals at Murder Inc. had 50 cut from the track which could have launched the rapper.

1/18/2011STEVEN ZAKHIA PERSONAL QUOTESThe only thing that I'm scared of is not livin' up to the expectations of Dr. Dre and Eminem.[On his feud with rapper Ja Rule] Right now he's desperate. He should be talking about me, not Eminem and Dr. Dre and everybody else. He'll lose, he knows that. The route that he has to take is the "I'm a mad gangsta" hardcore route, and ain't nobody gonna believe him.In Hollywood they say there's no business like show business. In the hood they say there's no business like ho' business.I'm not trying to save the world. As a musician and artist, it just ain't me.
