REAL TALK WEDNESDAYS*: DMX
The Dark Man X speaks on jail, music, and the fact that he’s still standing in VIBE's The Best Rapper Ever
VIBE 365: June 2, 2003, 50 Cent, Eminem, Busta Rhymes, Lil’ Kim, and Nas rule Summer Jam
Remembering yesterday, one day at a time
50 Cent
Name: Curtis Jackson
Reppin': Queens, NY
Breakthrough: In 2000, 50 Cent was scheduled to release his debut album, Power of the Dollar (Columbia), featuring the controversial street single “How To Rob.” However, he was infamously shot nine times outside his grandmother’s house in Queens on May 24, 2000, and was subsequently released from his label deal. After building a healthy buzz on the mixtape circuit in 2002 and publicly beefing with commercially successful rapper Ja Rule, he was signed by Eminem and he released his official debut Get Rich or Die Tryin’ (Shady/Aftermath/Interscope), featuring the single “In Da Club,” in 2003. He went on to sell more than six million albums in the U.S.
Now You Know: 50 Cent is notorious for his beefing with fellow rappers through his lyrics. Outside of Ja Rule, he’s feuded with Kanye West, Fat Joe, Cam’Ron, T.I., and, most recently, Rick Ross.
