50 centBorn in South Jamaica, Queens, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson has been living in New York City. Initially, he wanted to be a heavyweight boxer, tried his hand at the rough stuff but eventually fell back on rapping. 50 Cent hit the scene with "How To Rob An Industry Nigga". Columbia-affiliated rap production team the Trackmasters -- hooked up with 50 Cent in 1999. The young singer did the song "How to Rob" with the accomplished production duo. Throughout "How to Rob," 50 Cent emphasized how he would rob famous rap artists like Master P and Timbaland. The song became a kind of novelty hit, and the Trackmasters teamed with 50 Cent to record a debut album for Columbia, Power of the Dollar, and a prospective breakthrough single with Destiny's Child, "Thug Love."An unfortunate sequence of events spoiled 50 Cent's chance to break through: heavy bootlegging soured Columbia's attitude toward the album and, then, on May 24, 2000, the rapper suffered from multiple gunshots, one to the jaw and several in the legs. Though Columbia had already released "Thug Love" as a single along with promos of the album to the press, it pulled Power of the Dollar from the market and dropped the injured rapper from his contract. 50 Cent's fame exploded with Eminem's quote on radio in which he said, "50 Cent is definitely my favorite rapper right now, he's the only one keeping it real." He made his debut album "Get rich or Die Tryin'.50 has full access and advantage of the streets through mix-tapes. 50 Cent is the most anticipated artist of 2003.

50 Cent trampled women
During a concert last year, 50 Cent allegedly trampled two women and punched a third woman. The incident occurred during a surpise concert at Springfield's Hippodrome club last May, in which Jackson allegedly jumped into a crowd after someone threw or squirted water at him. It is indicated that if the rapper stays drug free for two years and follows other orders laid out by a judge, the charges will be dropped.
