50 Cent
Curtis Jackson (Queens, New York, SAD, 6. srpnja 1975.), bolje poznat kao 50 Cent, jedan je od najpoznatijih američkih repera.
Biografija
Pravim imenom Curtis Jackson, 50 Cent je krajem 1990-tih prvi puta bio na rubu nacionalne slave. Rap produkcijski tim Trackmasters iz etikete Sony/Columbia Records su 1999. počeli suradnju s 50 Centom. Mlad i uglavnom nepoznat rapper iz Queensa snimio je pjesmu "How to Rob". U toj je pjesmi 50 Cent detaljno odrepao pljačku slavnih rap glazbenika Master P i Timbalanda. Pjesma je postala hit, a Trackmastersi i 50 Cent krenuli su na snimanje njegovog debi albuma "Power of the Dollar" za etiketu Columbia. Osim tog albuma snimili su i singl "Thug Love" s Destiny's Child.
Ubrzo nakon toga nesretan splet okolnosti onemogućio je njegov proboj na sceni: bootleg izdanje albuma izazvalo je nevolje s etiketom Columbia, a potom je 24. svibnja 2000. 50 Cent ustrijeljen više puta. Columbia je već bila objavila singl "Thug Love", no album "Power of the Dollar" povukla je s tržišta i raskinula ugovor s ranjenim reperom (čak devet prostrijelnih rana).
Sljedećih je nekoliko godina 50 Cent snimio desetak underground snimki s producentom Money XL. Te su snimke brzo počele kružiti New Yorkom na kompilacijama koje su se prodavale na crnom tržištu CD-a. 50 Cent je izazvao priličan žamor svojim snimkama. Žamor je postao toliko jak da je došlo do rata između velikih izdavača kao što su J, Universal i Jive. Uskočio je Eminem koji je ponudio 50 Centu milijun dolara da potpiše ugovor za njegovu etiketu.
50 Centa je privukla njegova reputacija i reputacija Dr. Drea, a ne ponuđeni novac. Ubrzo nakon potpisivanja ugovora 50 Cent je ušao u studio s Eminemom i Dreom kako bi snimio pjesme za predstojeće izdanje. "Get Rich Or Die Tryin'" objavljen je početkom 2003. i nošen uspjehom singla "In Da Club" ubrzo postao platinasta senzacija, dosegnuvši milijun prodanih primjeraka u svega tjedan dana. Mediji su spremno prigrlili novu rap zvijezdu i njenu sumnjivu prošlost, a 50 Cent je nastavio s aktivnostima, želeći do kraja iskoristiti svojih pet minuta. Krajem 2003. objavio je album svog crewa G-Unit, a uskoro potom i vlastitu modnu marku.
Tijekom 2004. pomogao je u pokretanju karijere The Gameu, kratkotrajnom članu G-Unita. Drugi samostalni album, "The Massacre" pojavio se na tržištu početkom ožujka 2005.
Početkom ožujka 2007. snimio je novi singl sa poznatim bosanskim reperom Harom, a naziv singla je We can be together!

"The Hit"
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
[Chorus]
I change places, to prevent catchin' the cases
Races, in the faces, hall at you laces
This is a hit, let's see if homicide trace this
[Verse 1]
The only thing hotter than my flow is the block (inhale and exhale)
That's why I left this snow biz, and got into show biz
Let's get this clear, it ain't on 'til I say it's on, (pause), it's on
I'm eatin', ya'll niggas fastin' like it's Rimadon
Bowlish way in Lebanon, know 50 the bomb
I be at the edge of the bar, sippin' a Don
I keep the bottle just in case, you never know when it's on
This worries bump, I can't go wrong, my team's too strong
You want war? I take you to war, now that my money long
Why you broke? cat's buy the by lines and fantasize
The way I'm spittin', put TV's in everything I'm sittin'
While I'm hot to death, I'm gonna say this to all you playa haters
Ya'll should hate the game, not the playas (c'mon)
[Chorus: repeat 2X]
I change places, to prevent catchin' the cases
Races, in the faces, hall at you laces
This is a hit, let's see if homicide trace this
(50 Cent, let's see if homicide trace this)
[Verse 2]
Everyday is bugged, niggas'll come to a club
To try to show you they a thug, instead of showing some love
Now, what you think you chump me, If I let you bump me
When I'm about to make a mill, faster than you make a G (haha)
I know I lie, it's a habit, I vow to clean the city like the mayor
And in the crack game, I'm a franchise player
Niggas be thinkin' I be out to lunch with mines
Then in crunch time, I start hittin' 'em hard with punch lines
You cats got to be sick, to think 50 can't spit
Better check my batting average, I always make hits
My flows leave these rap cats ketro (ketro), all across the metro (metro)
Plus I pack a cannon, up under my marple cannon
They fake, they look like money, but ain't worth half the cake
Have me runnin' from Jake, in a GS with bad brakes
They want to knock me take, for Christ sakes
[Chorus]
(50 Cent, let's see if homicide trace this)
I change places, to prevent catchin' the cases
Races, in the faces, hall at you laces
This is a hit, let's see if homicide trace this
(50 Cent, let's see if homicide trace this)
I change places, to prevent catchin' the cases
Races, in the faces, hall at you laces
This is a hit, let's see if homicide trace this
(50 Cent, let's see if homicide trace this)
[Verse 3]
Yo, son remember them fake playas
Who try to play us at The Shark Club in Vegas
Had them tight linen blazers, and beat up gators
Lookin' like last year's playas, (pause)
Yeah, I could tell they dough was low
When we came through the do'
I copped a case of Cristal, and copped one bottle of Mo
From the looking through face, and the bulge in his waist, he holdin'
(Yeah he's packin', I can see his rack
The one in the middle, he a big man, I dealt with him son)
Yeah, so I expect look like they ain't had a run, since ' 81
They ain't here on a hunt for food,
So they could catch you, some cash, and expensive jewels
I'm gonna crash 'em with this bottle if he move
I ain't the one son, my shit ain't come easy
It won't go easy, believe me
[Chorus: repeat 3X]
I change places, to prevent catchin' the cases
Races, in the faces, hall at you laces
This is a hit, let's see if homicide trace this
(50 Cent, let's see if homicide trace this)
