50 Cent

This week I will be blogging about Curtis Jackson a.k.a 50cent. 50 cent had a rough child hood and he likes to rap about it often. Curtis's mom was shot when he was only eight and his dad ran out of on him when he was a child. 50 was born in Jamaica, but raised in NY with his grandparents. 50 cents mother gave birth to him at the age of 15 and was a major cocaine dealer.
 Life didn't get easier after that either as 50 quoted "When I wasn't killing time in school, I was sparring in the gym or selling crack on the strip". 50 was sent to a corrections boot camp after the metal detectors at his high school hit off on the guns that he carried, he then openly told his his grandparents that he was a drug deals. Rumor has it that 50 cent has been shot 9 times and once in the face, that's why 50 cent raps slower then most rap artists.


One of my favorite versus form 50 cents song The Game.
 Bentley, unh
Em came 'n gotta ni*** fresh out the, slum
Automatic, gun
F*** 'em one-on-one
We wrap up ya punk a**, stunt 'n ya done
Homie, it's Game time

I can relate to this because I have a concealed weapons permit and this is how it makes me feel.
