I think that 50 is a thug , a real gangster. 50 had been thought a lot , his mom died when his young. Then got in the street hustling , after he got caught for selling drugs
He stopped to hustle and got in the studio recording his own music .After he got noticed , he got the fame and the wealth. I liked his biography it was a great to read about it but sad too .

Before reading this book he is not regarded as a big 50 Cent in Hip Hop scene but after reading this I thought too level has to be the best rapper.
