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 Jay’s music. After he’d 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 Cent’s 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 ”Get Rich Or Die Tryin’” 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 Tryin’ 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.

This for the bitches nigga
I'll do - I'll, do, anything for you
I'll do, anything you want me to (I'll do do do-do do do do)
I'll do, anything (anything for you)
[50 Cent]
Me? I done been around the world six times (uh-huh)
But you can change me, baby you can change me
Oh shit, look, I'm already not the same, see? (ha ha)
Shorty you make me feel brand new
I'm not runnin game girl, I swear you do
You're too cold to hold and too hot to handle
Me and you girl, there's nuttin we can't do
You like girls, I like girls too, we got somethin in common
Now how the hell could that be a problem?
Shorty let's laugh, let's dance, let's drink, let's fuck
Right here, right now, shit, we only live once
I should not be reprimanded, I cannot be blamed
My lust on level 10; I'm tryin to get it in
I'll have you cummin down your candy walls
Get it wetter than Niagara Falls 'til you climax, that's all
[Chorus: 50 Cent]
They think, I'm a fool
Cause I'd do so many things, for you
I'll, do anything... I'll, do anything
But they don't know the reason
It's why I do all the things I do for you
I'll, do anything... I'll, do anything
I'll do
[50 - over Chorus]
Yeah yeah yeah

Ha ha...

We retro drinkin, yeah sippin Moet
Look man - my shawty got ass for days
I smack it, sit and watch it wave (uh)
When it's stress on my brain, the head games relax the pain
So good I get to buyin her thangs
Like tennis bracelets and chains, studs and diamond rangs
I'm givin her the finer thangs
That's why she don't complain
I kinda got her open mayne, I stroke that thang
On different ends of the globe
We international now, whoa
[Chorus]
[50 - over Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
You know niggaz sayin I'm crazy, right?

They don't know how we get down baby
Y'know?
[Outro: 50 Cent]
That's me and you, you know? (I'll do)
They ain't supposed to understand it (I'll do do do-do do do)
You know I say some shit I ain't supposed to say
But you know how I feel (I'll do)
I should be a asshole whenever I feel like it (I'll do)
After - look at the shit I bought you man (I'll do do do-do do do)
C'mon man, don't give me no headache man
You a bitch when you on your period, right? (I'll do)
Don't come at me with that bullshit man
(I'll do, I'll do do do-do do do)
Do anything for you girl!
I'll do... anything
The song "I'll Do Anything" is about a man who is willing to do anything for the woman he loves. He brags about how many women he has been with in the past, but he assures her that she can change him. He promises to love, cherish, and respect her, and the only thing on his mind is making her happy. He talks about the finer things he provides her with, including tennis bracelets, chains, diamond rings, and luxurious vacations.
The lyrics suggest that he is in love and that he will do anything for her, even if it means putting himself out there and making himself vulnerable. Despite his macho exterior, he has a sensitive side that he reserves only for this special woman. He makes it clear that he doesn't care what others think about him or his relationship, and he's not afraid to show his love and affection for her in public. The chorus emphasizes that he will do anything, even if people think he is foolish for doing so.
