Title: Let 50 Cent teach you how to succeed in life
Post by: Valiere on February 27, 2010, 08:07:27 PM: My friend saw this at the bookstore today.

(http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/090904/the-50th-law-book-cover_l.jpg)

Yes, it's a self-help book. By 50 Cent. Amazon's product description says this:

Quote
In The 50th Law, hip hop and pop culture icon 50 Cent (aka Curtis Jackson) joins forces with Robert Greene, bestselling author of The 48 Laws of Power, to write a "bible" for success in life and work based on a single principle: fear nothing. With intimate stories from 50 Cent's life on the streets and in the boardroom as he rose to fame after the release of his album Get Rich or Die Tryin', as well as examples of others who have overcome adversity through understanding and practicing the 50th Law, this deeply inspirational book is perfect for entrepreneurs as well as anyone interested in the extraordinary life of Curtis Jackson.

Oh, and it's got a leather cover, gold-leaf edging on the pages, and a built-in bookmark, like a Bible.

Considering how 50's career's been doing lately, I'm not sure how seriously we should take his advice.

mentality, especially towards women.

Post by: Cerebus on March 01, 2010, 02:40:43 PM: I remember also seeing somewhere that he said parents should buy his game (Bulletproof, which is obviously rated M) to their children as a teaching tool.
Also read somewhere else that he claimed he didn't promote violence.

And an album called "Get rich or dire trying" shows what Mr. Cent's priorities are...

It's too bad those 9 bullets didn't kill him. But we can still hope for a successful assault, we never know.
