Jackson was born and raised in South Jamaica, a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Queens. His mother Sabrina, a drug dealer, died in a fire when he was 8. Since his father had already abandoned the family, young Curtis was sent to live with his grandparents. Growing up during the crack epidemic of the 80s and 90s, Jackson dealt drugs when he wasn't "killing time" at school or boxing at a local gym. His grandparents assumed he was at after-school programs when he was out selling crack. In tenth grade, Jackson was caught with guns and drug money passing through the metal detectors at Andrew Jackson High School in Queens. In 1994, Jackson was arrested again for selling vials of cocaine to an undercover officer, and three weeks later he was arrested yet-again after police found heroin, crack cocaine, and a starter pistol in his home. Jackson was sentenced to 3 to 9 years in prison, but opted to join a 6 month boot camp program and get his GED. Around this time, Jackson began going by "50 Cent," inspired by deceased Brooklyn stick-up man Kelvin "50 Cent" Martin.
After leaving drug dealing to pursue a rap career, he released his debut album Guess Who's Back Again in 2002. He was discovered by Eminem and Dr. Dre and then signed to Interscope Records. He has since released Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2003), The Massacre (2006), Curtis (2007) and Before I Self Destruct (2009).
50 Cent has engaged in feuds with other rappers including Jay-Z, Ja Rule, The Game, Cam'ron, Fat Joe, and Rick Ross. He has also pursued an acting career, appearing in the semi-autobiographical film Get Rich or Die Tryin' in 2005, the Iraq War film Home of the Brave in 2006, and Righteous Kill in 2008. 50 Cent is one of the richest hip-hop performers, having a net worth estimated at US $440 million in 2008.
Before 50 Cent ever inked a major deal, he built up a substantial fan base in New York through underground mixtapes. 50 Cent met up with Jam Master Jay of Run-DMC and was signed to his label to write all of Jayβs music. After heβd left JMJ, he signed to Columbia Records in 1996. On this label, he released Power of the Dollar, and the singles How to Rob and Ghetto Qua Ran. Columbia Records released him from the label after being shot on May 24th, 2000.
Around this time, Eminem had heard one of 50 Centβs demo tapes and expressed a huge interest in him on MTV, as did Dr. Dre. Shortly after this, 50 Cent officially signed to Interscope Records. He was the first rapper to sign to the joint label owned by Dr. Dre and Eminem. The first song he released on this record was entitled Wanksta and was featured on the 8 Mile soundtrack.
In its first week of release, his debut βGet Rich Or Die Tryinββ sold 872,000 units - easily reaching Gold status. Within the second week it went Platinum (1 mil) and on April 12th, 2004 the RIAA certified it six times Platinum.
In 2005 he followed the success of his album Get Rich or Die Tryinβ with a new release - The Massacre (originally called St. Valentines Day Massacre until the release date was pushed back). The first single released off this, Disco Inferno, was a huge hit - he followed this hit up by the release of Candy Shop and then again with Just a Lil Bit.
In 2003 Interscope Records allowed 50 Cent to have his own label - G-Unit Records. He first signed Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo and Young Buck as the established members of G-Unit Records. In 2004, Dr. Dre and 50 Cent had signed The Game under a joint venture.

God's Plan (Haha) , Yayo (Non-stop)
I hustled then I got that ching ching ching
Then I bought my bling-bling-bling
That's how I got your fuckin'
Bitch on my dick
I hustled then I got that ching ching ching
That's how I got your fuckin'
Bitch on my dick
You can catch me run inside, nigga
Doin' my thing
'Cause what I write with my pen
Got me next to Don King
I'm blowin' H2O in a H2
With a project chick named Rachel
I got rocks on my neck with a big-ass piece
And come through in a
Lex with Claudette Ortiz
With no roof on the top, that's my Sunday car
In the Hummer lookin' hot
That's my Monday car
I got a stable of hoes, now I'm a P-IM-P
And saw your bitches on a
Amtrak with grams of D
We got beams on the gat
We detail our weapons
And the way that I rap, we e mail assessors
Niggas hear what I spit and
Wonder how I write it
G-Unit gon' win, we on automatic pilot
I hustled then I got that ching ching ching
Then I bought my bling-bling-bling
That's how I got your fuckin'
Bitch on my dick
I hustled then I got that ching ching ching
Then I bought that bling-bling-bling
That's how I got your fuckin'
Bitch on my dick
MΓ©nage Γ trois, I got these dykes wet
Off of blue E pills with the knife checks
I'm still blowin green in the PJs
Laid out in the cut readin' screenplays
Nigga be easy
Don't talk greasy, the rap game needs me
I'm spittin' sixteen, you gettin' charged
Fuck a freebie
Y'all niggas in court spillin' the beans
About the kid from New York
That be killin' the fiends
I'm a H-U-S T-L-E-R, hustler
I got two maids, but fuck it, I need a butler
I hustled then I got that ching ching ching
Then I bought my bling-bling-bling
That's how I got your fuckin'
Bitch on my dick
I hustled then I got that ching ching ching
Then I bought that bling-bling-bling
That's how I got your fuckin'

The lyrics of 50 Cent's "Ching Ching Freestyle" speak of the rapper's success and the material possessions that come with it. He boasts about earning money through hustling and using it to buy expensive jewelry ("bling-bling-bling"). He also mentions having women attracted to him because of his status and wealth ("that's how I got your fuckin' Bitch on my dick").
The second verse dives into his extravagant lifestyle, referencing his Sunday car (a convertible Lexus), his Monday car (a Hummer), and the women he keeps around. He also raps about drug use and his reputation as a killer in the streets. However, he maintains that the rap game needs him and he's here to stay ("the rap game needs me").
Overall, the lyrics of "Ching Ching Freestyle" glorify the idea of coming from nothing, hustling to earn money, and the attainment of success and wealth. It's a typical gangsta rap song that highlights a flashy lifestyle and gaining respect through fear and intimidation.
