God’s the seamstress that tailor-fitted my pain.
When I put out my first mixtape, ‘50 Cent is the Future,’ it was the first tape where an artist did the entire tape in song format.
Because hip-hop has no requirements, you deal with people that have the least intelligence on the planet. Some of the people that compare themselves to me, compare themselves to me because they rap and I rap. They can’t even read the contracts that they sign to be a rapper, to do the deal.
Get into the music business. This is the business that you have absolutely no requirements. You listen to music, you need no college degree.
I’ve been patiently waiting to blow!
When you get in a point when you generate finances in a circle of people they gonna treat you different. They gonna treat you like as if you’re gonna bring the money. You’re the cash cow.
I had to overcome challenge after challenge in order to take my life from nothing to living my dreams.
When a person completely has nothing but negative interest in you and would like nothing more than to see you in the worst situation possible, then why would you consistently go toward that energy?
Every morning I wake up in a home where Mike Tyson previously laid in the bed and he earned over $500 million his career. It makes me conscious.
My description of fun would be to sit on someone’s couch and watch TV. Regular cable TV. When I’m in a hotel, on-demand is the same. I watch the TV in another language, trying to figure out what they’re saying.
I can’t have a lot of people around me all the time. It really bugs me out that I have that many people. I need to be by myself.
I never allowed my fear to limit me.
I think I’ll be going to Heaven, because I had good intentions. But my actions are another thing.
Anybody who says that money don’t change you – they only say that because they don’t make enough.
Look into the windows of my soul. The eyes never lie, they bloodshot red.
When I reached the top in business, I adjusted to my new position – I became bolder and crazier than before. And I listened even less to people who tried to slow me down.
People often say I have so much energy, that I never stop; but that’s what it takes to accomplish your goals.
I’m the type to swallow my blood before I swallow my pride.
Reality is my drug. The more I have of it, the more power I get and the higher I feel.
Ya’ll know what you need to do? Get together, make a We Are The World record.
