50 Cent : From Pieces to Weight
He has the beats that keep you moving in the club and the hooks you can’t resist singing along to, but you best believe the true key to Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s popularity lies with his candidness— he lives to speak his mind. There hasn’t been an MC this forthcoming since Tupac. Over the past three years, it seems 50 has revealed everything about his life, whether it be in lyrics, interviews, or onstage. So what else could 50 possibly offer to the public when his autobiography hits shelves? In “From Pieces to Weight,” 50 takes the reader every step of the way on the journey of a boy being molded into the man who’s set up shop in the headlines like a hustler on the block. For the first time, Fif addresses his fears, shows a side of his early family life and recounts how as a teenager he learned the ins and outs of the drug hustle — and that’s just in the first half of the book. In an MTV exclusive, we’re presenting five excerpts from 50’s autobiography before it hits stores. Prepare to ride shotgun.

After reading the book, I can only feel that he’s just an ordinary chap who thinks big… really big. My favourite word in the book ” you gotta play for tomorrow even if tomorrow never comes”.
And recently I read an interview of him in one of the local magazine. Here’s an excerpt of the interview when they were talking on Asian collaboration. This is 50’s reply:
“I’m interested in it. I had club scenes in my ‘Outta Control’ video where everybody was pretty much Asian. When Michael Jackson did his ‘Black or White’ video, I had no idea at all why he showed us people from different places and cultures because I hadn’t left Queens. After travelling and seeing things I’ve seen, I totally understand why he did that. I’ve realised that anyone who embraces music wants a representation of them.”
At least there’s now a rapper appreciate or say good things about Michael Jackson.
