Curtis James Jackson III (born July 6 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_6), 1975 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975)), better known by his stage name (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stage_name) 50 Cent, is an American (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States) rapper (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapper). He rose to fame following the release of his albums Get Rich or Die Tryin' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Get_Rich_or_Die_Tryin%27_%28album%29) and The Massacre (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Massacre). 50 Cent achieved multi-platinum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIAA_certification) success with both albums, selling over twenty-one million records worldwide.
Born in South Jamaica, Queens (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Jamaica%2C_Queens) in New York (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York), 50 Cent began drug dealing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_dealing) at the age of twelve during the 1980s' crack epidemic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crack_epidemic). After leaving drug dealing to pursue a rap career, he was shot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting) nine times in 2000. After releasing his mixtape Guess Who's Back? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guess_Who%27s_Back%3F) in 2002, 50 Cent was discovered by rapper Eminem (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eminem) and signed to Interscope Records (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interscope_Records). With the help of Eminem and Dr. Dre (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Dre)—who produced his first major commercial successes—he became one of the highest selling rap artists in the world. In 2003, he founded the record label G-Unit Records (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-Unit_Records), which signed successful rappers such as Young Buck (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Buck), Lloyd Banks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lloyd_Banks), and Tony Yayo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Yayo). 50 Cent has engaged in numerous feuds with other rappers including Ja Rule (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ja_Rule), The Game (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game_%28rapper%29), and Fat Joe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_Joe).
50 Cent has also pursued an acting career, appearing in the semi-autobiographical film Get Rich or Die Tryin' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Get_Rich_or_Die_Tryin%27_%28film%29) in 2005 and the Iraq War (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_War) film Home of the Brave (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_of_the_Brave_%282006_film%29) in 2006.

Credit where credit is due, he's somehow managed to amass a fortune on the back of some decidedly average cd's, some of his tracks I really like but generally...meh

He has some ability, but he'd rather release cookie cutter shit that will sell records.

2. He's boring.

The only thing he's got going for him, really, is that his production is sick, and since he gets a lot of help there....
