![]() 50 Cent & Director Jim Sheridan
"The misperception is gangster 50. That's the biggest misconception. Because, I can be those things that people – I have a reputation. My past is my shadow, it follows me everywhere I go. Well, all those things come from when I had no other choice. They put my back against the wall. I do what I gotta do. 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."
After two enormously successful albums, Get Rich or Die Tryin' and The Massacre, 50 Cent is parlaying his current fame into other arenas. He's promoting his own G Unit clothing line, he just released his own autobiography From Pieces to Weight, his videogame, entitled Bulletproof, releases later this year, and perhaps biggest of all is 50's feature debut at the hands of acclaimed director Jim Sheridan, Get Rich or Die Tryin'. Set for release on November 9th, 50 Cent plays a character, loosely based on himself, named Marcus.
