When I put out my first mixtape, '50 Cent is the Future,' it was the first tape where an artist did the entire tape in song format.

The public is never wrong. When people don’t respond to what you do, they’re telling you something loud and clear. You’re just not listening.

I'm the type to swallow my blood before I swallow my pride.

The more my fans know about my past, the more they'll be able to predict and understand some of the moves I make in the future.

When I fell in love with hip-hop, there was a terminology at the time called "battling." All that was just battling with other artists, but after Tupac and those incidents when it spilled into the street and turned into a negative situation, battling turned into a beef. A whole new dynamic.

If you're not doin anything and you don't have goals and you got nothing to do then you might as well go jump off something, you just wasting the air.

Get rich or die tryin'.
