My new music video, ‘My Life’ featuring Eminem and Adam Levine, the only person in the actual video who you can physically make out besides myself and Adam Levine is Andre Dirrell.

You know how a person is made for something? Eminem is made for hip-hop. The best rapper is a white man.

Some people are born with very little; some are fortunate enough to have it all. When I grew up, we didn’t have much. I had to hustle to get what I wanted… but I had...

In my neighborhood… they view the police as someone who comes to take their loved ones away.

Show no love, cause love will get you killed.

When you’ve been in life-threatening situations, you become aware that life is not for ever.

Hip-hop – it’s the safari: it allows people who aren’t under those circumstances to come closer to inner-city life, to explore it without actually being in danger. It’s something kids in middle America indulge in...

Out of frustration, I say things. Now, people listen to me so much I can say it under my breath and everybody hears me… I said in the past that I’m a work in progress,...

When I’m actually creating music, I try not to listen to the hip-hop records that are going on, because I think, subconsciously, we steal from each other.

I think I’ll be going to Heaven, because I had good intentions. But my actions are another thing.

Every morning I wake up in a home where Mike Tyson previously laid in the bed and he earned over $500 million his career. It makes me conscious.

People really should come because it’s going to be the best experience of their lives.

Every day, families in Africa go without food and water, never knowing when their next meal might be; but we can change that if we all work together. In order to make a difference, every...

I like to sort through music and see whatever pops out to me or inspires me. If I could have a production team going and kind of mix records with me, that would be cool;...

Puffy’s contribution to hip-hop culture was the remix. He offered us the music that his mom played in front of him, with newer drums and younger artists. That worked, and will consistently be there. The...

I don’t have to say ‘Rap it up’ every two seconds, or ‘Don’t do drugs’ every two seconds. They know they’re not supposed to use drugs, and they know they’re supposed to put a condom...

Just be confident. I think confidence is the most attractive part of a person.

I think Sean Parker damaged the music business with Napster.

She’s a pretty outgoing dog. We’re stunned I’m dumbfounded.

I don’t display emotions. I have every feeling that everyone else has, but I’ve developed ways to suppress them. Anger is one of my most comfortable feelings.

If you’re familiar with my man Uncle Sam, you understand the only way you can actually feel better about what he’s gonna take, come the end of the year, is lifestyle. Only thing you can...

STREET by 50 is all about giving our fans the finest music experience we possibly can. The response to the limited edition colors so far speaks for itself – the fans want the opportunity to...

She’s mesmerized. She’s like what’s all this attention for me. She’s happy I can tell.

My grandmother, she’s been the positive portion of my life the entire time.

I think it’s easier for the general public to embrace me in a negative way. You have people who already have a perception of me that says I’m a bad person.

When I put out my first mixtape, ’50 Cent is the Future,’ it was the first tape where an artist did the entire tape in song format.

My grandparents went through a bad experience themselves; they invested money in a church and got burned – the pastor had his own agenda – and my grandfather lost interest in the church after that....

I like the story writing process. I usually use someone who has been trained for structure to take the story that I actually want, place those elements in the right places.

They’re a brick wall; a train if they run into you.

I started hustling at 12, my mother hustled ahead of me. I was only allowed to because they knew me.

A recession is predominantly for the middle class. Where I come from, the majority of people have always lived in a recession.

I like generals. I like Napoleon. I like strategy. The majority of them are praised for mass destruction, but it’s exciting to see how it comes to the mind mentally.

I think either you’re creative or you’re not. In general, I don’t think you need to be in pain to actually be creative unless you’re writing love songs. Then you might need to have some...

Jim screamed at me. But I deserved it. Right, Jim?

You have to challenge yourself and your muscles. When you are really regimented, it’s the same over and over and you start to get comfortable. Switching up the style of training works your muscles differently.

Chris Lighty was a huge portion of my actual career. It’s difficult to adjust to not have someone around that’s in your life, in your life.

Eating well was something I learned as I started to be successful and had to travel and perform concerts, which are an intense cardio workout.

I think Frank Ocean is a talented artist; I think he’s created material that made me know his name, that impressed me, with things he said on a song like ‘Novacane.’

I just feel really good about my accomplishments. I haven’t had, like, a party because a deal goes through or something like that. I don’t know. I need to develop that – I need to...

I do appreciate it. They are talking about it on media outlets I didn’t have plans to market the movie to. They are helping me out.

I have a romantic side.

People often say I have so much energy, that I never stop; but that’s what it takes to accomplish your goals.

I’m not trying to save the world. As a musician and artist, it just ain’t me.

I read all of the stories that people write about me. The ones that are really interesting are the ones where they actually write their take on me as opposed to just printing what I...

You stop thinking about the police finding out what you did. You start thinking about God knowing what just happened.

A man becomes as attractive as an attractive woman when he becomes successful and is publicly noted. Power’s an aphrodisiac.

My work out routine is always changing. It should never stay the same for long periods of time.

People who actually have money don’t want to talk about it. They want to talk about everything else.

It’s Fifty, not Fiddy.

It’s difficult for me to trust a woman. Men are attracted to beautiful women. Women are attracted to men who offer security – financial security. And if you have money and you’re famous, women find...
