I would never have guessed he was a high school drop out. It was brutally honest, and I respect that. I found myself wanting to know more about him. It is clear that he is a gifted individual, and I personally find him much more endearing than Kayne, P Diddy.or any of the others. It was a great story. I saw 50 cent on the Chelsea Lately show recently.
However, after seeing his interview, I found him charming and articulate. After reading his book, I am amazed at how he has overcome so many struggles. Until then, I hadn't given him a second thought. It is amazing and inspiring. I may actually give his music a listen. I honestly figured he was just another thug rapper type (I am not into rap).
This was the first book I downloaded on my Kindle.
Book worth reading. We all have problems that challenge us in our everday life.So 50cent story is a powerful one as my Godson looks up to people like his image, music and now he can read for himself that 50cent life circumstances were very difficult than his life, yet it shows us how inspiring one person's life can be and how we can all learn from each other, that perserverance, belief in yourself and that never giving up hope will bring you all the success you want and deserve. I bought this book as a Christmas present for my 17yr Godson who has been struggling with direction in his life. Being a teenager is not easy.
it was captivating, real, didnt glamorize however told of the good and bad in the game this book was the best of all the g unit books.
Not like he wrote a book and it's fake. I would also recommend this book to people who want to see beyond the typical rapper stereotype. From Pieces to Weight is a great book; it is the best book I have read in a long time. It is about Curtis Jackson's (50 cent) daily struggle to survive life. Throughout the book I was wondering what went on there with him and the other inmates.I would recommend this book to people who listen to rap and have listened to his music. He is determined to get money and get out of the ghetto. The book is told in a way that seems like he is having a conversation with you.
He tells a little about it but it is not nearly as graphic as jail seems to be. Although I loved this book, I wish he went a lot more into detail when he went to jail multiple times.
Poor as can be he starts selling drugs and hustling in his first year of junior high school. It has high energy and you can really feel everything he is feeling.
This book takes place in New York City. I also loved the parts in the book when Curtis was running from the cops and hiding out from the cops.
By: Mike Delossantos When he is only 5 years old his mother is murdered and he goes to live with his drug addicted grandparents.
Curtis has really good intentions but has no other way to put clothes on his own back and shoes on his feet then to sell drugs.My favorite part of this book is how deep and real Curtis is in it.
Man this dude is all over the place and finds the time to write a book so influential to me I actually started reading again thx Fifty
