50 Cent lived up to the title of his debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin' by overcoming being stabbed, shot, and assaulted while securing a million-dollar record deal. Hailing from New York, he follows in the footsteps of B.I.G, Shine, and Mobb Deep as a raw street rhymer who seamlessly blends thug and poet personas.
Despite facing adversity, 50 Cent gained recognition through the mixtape circuit after his debut album release was marred by a shooting incident. His outlaw world is characterized by themes of guns, threats, drug deals, and misogyny, yet it remains a popular and captivating mix that resonates with many listeners.
