Dieser "Unreleases Track" ist nicht ganz unbekannt.
Hörer der G-Unit Radio Serie von DJ Whoo Kid wird dieser Track bekannt vorkommen.
Denn dieser Track names "Puppy Love" ist auf dem G-Unit Radio Vol. 22 *HipHop Is Dead* Mixtape drauf. Wink

Read an excerpt from 50 Cent's new book, "50 X 50."
Click here

Sales of 50 Cent's new album have been bested by those of his rap rival, Kanye West, but it's going to take more than marketing to kill this hip-hop king from Queens.

Tuesday, he hits town with his latest venture, an intimate, illustrated autobiography that traces his climb from the street to the top of the charts.

While his albums are packed with the bluster he says is "just the confidence necessary to exist in hip hop," this memoir sets Fitty apart. Starting with unrepentant tales of his early days in his first business, narcotics, the rapper, born Curtis Jackson, and a writer pal, Noah Callahan-Bever of Complex magazine, paint an unembellished picture of the years he spent pulling himself out of the troubled beginnings that gave him his material.

"50 x 50: 50 Cent in His Own Words" is structured as a personal scrapbook that tells his story in photographs - including some seriously cute shots of a chubby-cheeked tyke in Queens.

Page-long anecdotes follow the rapper through his mother's murder, his early drug deals, the shooting that left him fighting for his life, his recovery and rise to fame.

It was a rough road, but, says 50, it was his.

"I was just utilizing the things that were right in front of me," he says of his early drug dealing.

"If you're a kid having a hard time in school and they tell you, well you can do this for 12 years and then get a collegedegree, a kid with curiosity is able to find someone who acquired the finances to get the things that he wanted in six months. It seemed like the only option at that point."

The book doesn't downplay the financial success 50 Cent enjoyed as a teen-ager on the street, but it offers a vivid look at the sacrifices involved.

The first time he was busted by police, after accidentally carrying a stash of cocaine to school in the toe of one of his gym sneakers, provided a rude awakening. His business, he writes, had distanced him from his grandparents, who took him in after his mother's death.

"I blamed my grandparents. That was the worst part," he writes. "The moment it sunk in what had happened and what was about to happen, I reacted by being angry, like, 'If I hadn't had to hide this from them, I never would have gotten caught.'"

Another bust sent him to drug rehab. The program couldn't change his reliance on drug dealing, but it made him face the people feeding his financial success.

"I'm in there with kids my age who are addicted to the same drugs I'm selling," he writes. "It's not hard to tell right from wrong when it's in front of you like that."

In the end, family was the force that pulled 50 Cent off the street. His son, Marquise Jackson, appears halfway through the book, flashing his daddy's assured smile.

With Marquise's birth in 1997, the future rap star had to choose a profession that didn't limit his life expectancy. It was a day he had known would come ever since he lost his mother.

"My mom didn't see welfare or [a job at] Burger King as an option, so she went in the wrong direction, hustling, but she acquired the finances that provided for me," he says. "Then the things that come with that lifestyle - like getting killed or going to jail - ended up coming."

His mother died when 50 Cent was 8 years old, after, as he puts it, "someone knocked her out in her apartment and let the gas run." 50 Cent wouldn't let his business catch up with him.

"When my son was on the way, I changed direction to write music," he says, "because I knew if I physically wasn't available to take care of him, no one else was."

50 Cent Drops New Autobiography, Signs Copies In NYC Today

50 Cent will be signing copies of his new, illustrated autobiography in New York City later this afternoon (October 23).

50 x 50: 50 Cent in His Own Words, co-authored by Complex magazine's editor- in-chief, Noah Callahan-Bever, reads more like a scrapbook, littered with old photos chronicling Fif's rise from a Queens street kid to the successful hip-hop mogul he is today, reports New York's Daily News.

In the book, he is candid about his mother's murder when he was just eight years old, being on the brink of death after suffering gunshot wounds and his drug dealing days.

"I was just utilizing the things that were right in front of me," Fif told the News. "If you're a kid having a hard time in school and they tell you, well you can do this for 12 years and then get a college degree, a kid with curiosity is able to find someone who acquired the finances to get the things that he wanted in six months. It seemed like the only option at that point."

After being caught with cocaine in his gym shoes at school, and forced into rehab as a result of a second bust, Fif was still undeterred. The one thing that did change his life from one of crime to music was the birth of his son, Marquise Jackson.

"When my son was on the way, I changed direction to write music," he says, "because I knew if I physically wasn't available to take care of him, no one else was."

When the rapper's mother died after "someone knocked her out in her apartment and let the gas run." Fif was sent to live with his grandparents.

"My mom didn't see welfare or [a job at] Burger King as an option, so she went in the wrong direction, hustling, but she acquired the finances that provided for me," he says. "Then the things that come with that lifestyle - like getting killed or going to jail - ended up coming."

In the book, 50 marks this realization and the desire to raise his son as the turning point in his life.

50 will be signing copies of his new book today at Barnes & Noble, at 4 Astor Place in Manhattan at 5 p.m.

50 x 50: 50 Cent in His Own Words is in stores now.

Soeben veröffentlichte 50 zusammen mit seinem Co-Autor Noah Callahan-Bever (Complex Magazin) seine Autobiographie “50×50: 50 Cent in his own Words” und gab gestern in New York City eine Autogrammstunde. Natürlich erzählte er auch selbst vom Inhalt des Buchs.

50 Cent: “Ich habe damals nur nach dem gegriffen, was genau vor mir lag. Wenn du ein kleiner Junge bist und zur Schule gehst, dann erzählt man dir, dass du das nun 12 Jahre lang tun musst, um dir ein College Degree zu holen und dann kannst du dir alles kaufen, wovon du träumst. Wenn du neugierig genug bist findest du einen Weg, dir diese Dinge bereits in 6 Monaten zu leisten. Das für mich damals die einzige Option.”

In “50×50: 50 Cent in his own Words” behandelt er auch den wohl persönlichsten Teile seiner Vergangenheit, die Ermordung seiner Mutter:

“Meine Mom wollte sich nicht mit Sozialhilfe oder einen Job bei Burger King begnügen, dann schlug sie die falsche Richtung ein, sie wurde zum Hustler. Sie verschaffte sich das Geld, das sie brauchte um mich zu großzuziehen. Dann nahm das ganze eine Wendung, die für diesen “Job” üblich ist… man wandert in den Knast oder wird umgebracht.”

Außerdem erzählt er davon wie sein Sohn Marquise ihm half, einen neuen Lebensweg zu gehen und die Drogendealerei hinter sich zu lassen. In dem Buch findet man auch ca. 90 bisher unveröffentlichte Fotos aus 50’s persönlichen Familienalbum.
