50 Cent provides valuable advice on how to navigate the music industry in his book, however it can sometimes come off as self-promoting. He gives an insightful read on his artistic journey to success.
fast-paced

I’m pleasantly surprised by this memoir. While I knew he was big into tv production, I had absolutely no clue what he did to achieve his success. His willingness to help, but not give a hand out, to people helping them to achieve success is almost as moving as his charitable contributions.  This is definitely a book that will motivate you.

I liked it when he was calling out his shitty baby mama and shitty kid.

Really great book. Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson is really intelligent and dropped some true gems throughout the book. I also enjoyed his narration of the audiobook. Great read!

This was an excellent book. I didn’t have a lot of prior knowledge about 50 Cent so I came in blind. But he’s such a gift. Any person who’s willing to share their mistakes, lessons and learning opportunities is a winner in my book. Mr. Jackson inspired and enlightened me and the final chapter even brought me to tears. It’s all about progress, not perfection.
