informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

50 is great at describing how to strategically hustle in the business world as well as the entertainment world. Describing Business acumen derived from street lessons, and fueling work ethic as if youre still at the bottom really get the reader fired up. Despite these lessons there is a subtle reading that threatens 50's legitimacy. His petty comments about his first son, and crafty story telling about his wins and not his losses paint the picture that 50 is a facade. I think this book wouldve been an order of magnitude better if it was completely honest, but curtis jackson definitely does a great job of narrating the life of 50.

His usually cocky self. Don’t really care too much about the beef with other rappers and the other 1000 people that hate him, but definitely a few nuggets to note throughout the book!

Was definitely a good listen...who knew fifty voice could be so semi relaxing...would listen to again in the feature...was informative and uplifting

Good book. Perfect length. Re-framing of life advice you already know. I’m not sure I even know a 50 cent song or have seen him in a movie. But I respect his work ethic and ability to make tough choices.
