вЂњKids wanna see a guy that got shot that many times and lived. вЂњIf he says heвЂ™s gonna pop you, you think he might,вЂќ says Eminem. When he talks about drugs and guns and death, you know heвЂ™s speaking from experience. Part of 50вЂ™s success is his unique voice, with a slur thatвЂ™s the result of the hole in his jaw from a bullet to the face. вЂњWe just made some shit we wanted to hear.вЂќ вЂњAs soon as he walked in the studio, he picked up a pen, and we were done in an hour,вЂќ says Dre. Dre produced Get RichвЂ™s first single, вЂњIn Da Club,вЂќ and 50 went platinum in just over a week. Dre signed him to a joint label deal, and Em featured 50вЂ™s Ja Rule dis, вЂњWanksta,вЂќ on the soundtrack to 8 Mile. His album was shelved, but 50 became a street legend on the strength of underground mix-tape hits (which are now collected on Guess WhoвЂ™s Back?). One day in 2000, just months away from the release of his first album, he was shot nine times.

Nearly all hip-hop fans know the broad outline of 50вЂ™s life story: the ghetto-celeb crack dealer who escaped the drug game by thrusting himself into hip-hop, only to have his enemies follow him into his new life. His gory, brilliant major-label debut, Get Rich or Die TryinвЂ™, sold 2.1 million copies in its first three weeks. The man from the gutter in Queens who nearly ended up in prison or dead is the biggest new star of the year.

In this hotel room, heвЂ™s boisterous, arrogant, secure in his own skin and having fun. вЂњThat shit is not important when you got finances.

And they donвЂ™t wanna go through that.вЂќ He seems confident he wonвЂ™t be killed, unperturbed by being hunted. They mammy, they pappy, they kids, all that shit. Anything go on around there, they need to move everything they love. Is he worried about his grandparents, who still live in Queens, New York, in the house where he grew up? He says his reputation is enough to protect them. He never refuses to stop for an autograph or a photo request, even when it exposes him to danger. TheyвЂ™re uneasy about still beinвЂ™ on the bottom.вЂќДҐ0 gets through his days in bulletproof trucks, walking with four to six bodyguards just inches away, ushering him briskly through streets and doors, but his body language and demeanor show him unmoved by the threats on his life. The people that dislike me have nothinвЂ™ to lose. IвЂ™m movin around, IвЂ™m all over the country, IвЂ™m makinвЂ™ money, IвЂ™m a motherfuckinвЂ™ star. The gangsters donвЂ™t like that I do whatever the fuck I wanna do. вЂњThis have nothinвЂ™ to do with no rappers. Some have suggested that itвЂ™s other rappers who are trying to kill him, but 50 says hatred from his old competitors in crack dealing has multiplied because of his fame. And right now, there are people who want 50 dead. Just four days before this very evening, an empty SUV owned by Busta Rhymes was hit with six bullets while parked in front of 50 CentвЂ™s managerвЂ™s office. His first hip-hop mentor, Jam Master Jay, was killed execution-style last year. At twelve, he became a dealer, and was nearly shot to death at twenty-four. His mother, a drug dealer, was killed when he was eight. Violence has been a constant in the life of twenty-six-year-old 50 Cent - government name Curtis Jackson, nickname Boo-Boo. вЂќYouвЂ™re not supposed to get hit that many times and get away!вЂќ вЂќI had to tell him that was a special situation,вЂќ he says.

вЂќOne time he was watching TV with another little kid,вЂќ 50 says, вЂќand a person got shot and died. When he gets around to talking about his six-year-old son, Marquise, who appears in the вЂќWankstaвЂќ video, his sonвЂ™s mother pulls his picture out of her wallet. HeвЂ™s animated, a street-corner shit-talker who knows where all the bodies are buried and knows no one can make him shut up. On records, 50 projects a scary crack dealer, but among friends, the screw face drops. His navy-blue bulletproof vest is there on the floor. ThereвЂ™s a thin wife-beater covering his chiseled torso and a Yankees hat balanced at an angle atop the white do-rag on his head. $ Tonight heвЂ™ll hold court for three or four hours straight until itвЂ™s time to leave for a tour date in Baltimore. Now, as his crew prowls for groupies, 50 is keeping a roomful of friends in stitches, telling stories about his past with the same mix of he-didnвЂ™t-just-say-that humor and gruesome detail that has made him the most exciting new MC and the coolest new villain in hip-hop since the emergence of Eminem. A convoy of nine trucks followed him three minutes down the road to this hotel. When 50 left the venue, he was surrounded by a ring of bodyguards until he climbed into a bulletproof GMC Suburban. Three hours ago, he finished the biggest show of his career yet, a sold-out date for a crowd of 15,000 at Long IslandвЂ™s Nassau Coliseum. 50 is inside his room, still pulsing with energy. and 50 CentвЂ™s six bodyguards are out in the hallway of the hotel, lazily leaning against the wall or completely asleep.
