Fiddy Cent

50 Cent a.k.a. "Fifty" (frequently pronounced "Fiddy" using African American Vernacular English) (born Curtis Jackson on July 6, 1976 in Queens, New York), is a popular African American hip hop artist. Once almost unknown outside his hometown of southside Jamaica, Queens, he is artist signed to Eminem's record label Shady Records and Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment. The rapper who is the first to sign to Shady Records was scouted before knowing Eminem. Eminem first encountered 50 Cent with MTV host Sway; Eminem apparently had not heard any of 50 Cent's performances before seeing him in person. He appeared on the 8 Mile soundtrack with an accompanying song and video that immediately went into heavy rotation on BET, MTV, and radio stations across the country. In the opinion of many observers his continued success seems guaranteed by his large underground fanbase and the street credibility he has gained by appearing on almost every major mix tape sold in New York in the past few years.

Interscope Records is very determined to sell 50 Cent as the "real deal", as the success of an artist in gangsta rap depends on his street credibility and reputation. In this respect 50 Cent has a clear advantage over almost every other mainstream rapper. His mother was killed in a drug deal, he was a drug dealer himself, he has been shot nine times (nine bullets in one single shootout, not nine separate incidents as some believe), he overcame enormous disadvantage, and he built a large rap empire in New York City before ever signing a major record deal.
