50 Cent Interview: Money to Burn

A Playstation 2 system, DVD player, speakers loud enough to make your ears bleed, tinted windows, stash box and 23-inch rims are all must-haves for any A-list MC who's not travelling the road by tour bus or limo. But when you're Curtis Jackson, a.k.a. 50 Cent, your SUV has a little something extra.

"That's level four right there," 50 said while sitting in the backseat of his Jeep Cherokee, en route to Miami's Cristal Night Club. "It's bulletproof and bombproof." Yes, bombproof. As in grenades won't stop it. K.I.T.T. from "Knight Rider," bow down. Read the Interview

50 Cent talks on Eminem's new album

50 Cent knows the score. When Eminem finally drops his long-awaited new solo record later this year, 50 Cent will run for cover.

"My advice to myself, and all others, is to let Em's release date go by and, after that, we can all come out comfortably," he said, laughing. "Nothing is safe when that time comes around. Em is dropping a bomb." Read the Interview

Interview in German: Die Leute Mögen Sex

Sein zweites Album «The Massacre» ist ein Hit. Mit der Netzeitung sprach US-Rapper 50 Cent daher umso entspannter über obszöne Phantasien, gute Geschäfte und die Kunst des «Dissens».

Mit «In da club» stieg 50 Cent vor zwei Jahren ohne Umwege in die oberste HipHop-Liga auf, zehn Millionen Mal wurde das Album verkauft. Trotz des Riesendrucks gibt sich der Mann, der eigentlich Curtis Jackson heißt, sehr selbstsicher. Das zweite Album «The Massacre» werde «alles in den Schatten stellen», glaubt er. «Die Platte haut jeden um, der sich für Rapmusik interessiert», sagte er der Netzeitung im Interview. Und er scheint Recht zu behalten. Read the Interview

50 Cent talks about his music

There's no denying that 50 Cent is a hot property within the global pop culture maelstrom. He's got both a videogame (Bulletproof) and feature length film (Get Rich or Die Tryin'), lurking on the immediate horizon, and just released his autobiography, From Pieces to Weight [Check out the IGN Filmforce interview with 50 where he discusses the aforementioned projects in-depth]. In fact, Curtis Jackson's got so much going on these days, it's easy to lose sight of the fact the he is first and foremost a rapper.

Yet with his G-Unit posse--Tony Yayo, Young Buck, Lloyd Banks, and Olivia--various label signings, the Get Rich or Die Tryin' soundtrack and the recently released The Massacre Special Edition CD/DVD, 50 is still staying true to his first love. Read the Interview

50 Cent, Music, Videogame and His Life

There are a lot of stereotypes about rappers out there. The thug life, the guns, the drugs, the women… Love it or leave it, 50 Cent has seen a lot for a 29-year-old man. You may not agree with everything he says in his raps or in interviews, but he's still undeniably compelling.

If you've read about "50," as he is referred to by his seemingly endless entourage, you've already heard the stories. Born Curtis Jackson, there was the drug-dealing youth in Jamaica Queens, the death of his mother when he was only 8 years old and the shooting that nearly took his life just as his first album was set for release.

There are the endless beefs with other members of the hip-hop community, from Ja Rule to Fat Joe and, most recently, Lil' Kim. Even as a superstar in almost every arena of entertainment, 50 can't seem to escape the troubles of his past life. Read the Interview
