50 is the man. Anyone who says otherwise does not understand the impact he has had on hip hop and the music industry. He is a revolutionary figure in entertainment and has completely altered the way that white america interacts with urban artists. He was one of the first rappers turner mega-CEO who has made some of the biggest deals in their respective fields. Now, rappers are moving into this sphere and space that 50 has ultimately created and are able to make money and succeed as not only rappers. Much like P-Diddy before him, 50 is able to capitalize on not only music, but other business ventures and has made this route more appealing to urban youth. Long story short, 50 is the man.
50 cent melted his voice to in da club to the point where you cant listen to the beat without hearing him and you cant say the lyrics without hearing the instrumental. Thats how you know an artist is truly talented...
Wow this interview is amazing. 50 is inspirational. And the fact piers is actually nice to the interviewee and congratulating them and not grilling them says it all
I agree that Piers wasn't letting 50 answer his questions completely but, seriously....do you think Piers wasn't freaking out sitting directly across from the guy??!! Lol!! I'm not at all surprised by 50's(Curtis Jackson) intelligence, his openness about his PAST, and so what if he was in Hillary's 'camp' at the time!! Didn't you hear his reason 'why' he was concerned about Obama becoming President???!!! I was scared to death of the same damn thing!! Look, the man did do some things he's not proud of, who hasn't honestly? But that's just stuff he 'did'!! Not who he's become! Anyone saying negative comments on here about this, are just so obviously jealous of his success!! But hey, Piers??!! Shut the hell up for a minute and let the man speak!! Ok?! Proud of you 50!! Keep up your great work with all the generous, unselfish things you're doing! I think you are #1!!!
50 Cent does actually behaves almost like a politician. He is standing straight all the time, a confident smile and sharp/quick answer. And lolololol @ 09:47
damn, 50 is way more sophisticated than i thought. I grew up with afew 50 CDs that we found in a used car that we'd bought, i've always liked him because of that but now I legitimately respect him
50 cent is the greatest alive, story is legendary he made hip hop beef interesting. He stays making dope music with a gritty queen sound that resonates through ever hood as a symbol of muscling up and music
Whatever 50 went threw in his youth he definitely learned his lesson i mean man i didn't know he was so grounded and smart and he is actually wise. i hope he writes a book one day
I respect this guy so much.... was a businessman when he was in the streets... came in the industry and feeded off his debut album and made millions through other ventures, and now he don't need to rely on shit
Yh I agree with 50 when he said along the lines of 'I think if my father when there when I was younger, he would of stopped me from doing the things that I did and got into. I see my son a better version of me'. That fits in so right with me.
I don't listen to 50 cent much much but he's a lot of a different person to what I expected through his music, he's actually a really respectable and interesting person!
so fiddy was peddling bullshit when he rapped about crystal and blunts, just like africa bambatta and krs1 were saying. What a surprise. Wack wack wack
FUTGuap it definately aint hip hop though, its corporate entertainment for the masses who just don't know, glossy well packaged bullshit. You'll concede that ? Cos hip hop has always been about authenticity, so called keepin it real. So he's a wack bullshit rap star who even boosted his name 'fiddy cent' from someone else, a legendary NY hustler who died in the 90's. Couldn't even be assed to make up an original name ffs. Plain wack in my eyes. highly commercial candy ass rap for people on treadmills in gymnasiums, fakers and wanabees. Which one are you ?
50 Cent is one of the realist people in the industry. Anybody thinking anything he says about his past is fake then you're pretty stupid & you need to do your research. He's beefed with so many artist & never ever did anybody call him a fraud because people that know the streets know about 50. He's an extremely smart guy/business man; legend. Inspirational - coming from nothing to becoming a billionaire.
He even mentions Chris Lighty as one of the few people influential to his career like Dre, Em and Jimmy. R.I.P. and thank you Chris for bringing great hip hop acts like 50 Cent into our world. You will be greatly missed.
It may be an act, it may be the real 50 but one thing you cannot deny is that he is a very intelligent man, he knows how to play the game and has made his money and is now giving back.
I never though 50 was a thug i recognize talent and hard work when i see it.This interview just made me respect him more.Not sure why people desperately want him to be a thug
Mr 50! what an intelligent man ! what an interviwee !you've achieved so much, travelled so far, - nay sayers on here are the no where guys, bitter, non triers, and never achievers Curtis = you ROCK
I used to drink vitamin water as a replacement for soda. It was a better selection for oxygen levels in emphysema patients. I can't believe they banished the brand. It was popular and is better than a lot of drinks sold today.
50 cent is helping young kids, lyrics in songs tell stories - some stories r cute n some stories r blunt n darker, 50 cent seems like a good guy, everyone who slags him off - just wish they had his fortune n r bitter. IRON MAIDEN FOREVER HEHE ;}>
50 Cent lost his mum at the age of 8. He got shit nine times! He had no chance of making anything of himself but now he his one of the biggest stars in the music industry. It doesn't matter how he got there but he his rich, he is famous and he has his own charity. You should respect that and not hate on him.
50 cent, has his shit together. Clearly he has more heart than most mere mortals. I had never looked past the persona he created about 10 years ago. Another example of things almost never being what they seem
i don't understand why people keep attacking piers... the guy is asking questions in the same way many middle class white americans would... you can't blame the guy for not understanding how 50's old environment worked; he's never been exposed to it. i found this to be a very informative interview, good luck to both men.
Didn't really like 50 cent before .. but hearing him talk shows me that he's actually a good person trying... And not a fake.. finally an entrepeneur not fueled by greed ...
Damiano Cavaliere I care! You don't hear people in the London grime scene talking absolute fantasy shit, life is about more than big rims n shake ur titties which is what comes out of 99% american rappers mouths these days
+NoSurrender fake yet he was involved with shootouts??! shot 9 times at a point?!? but he's fake?! Bruv how often does a grime artist in England get shot?! your confused fan grime is entertainment
"Limited exposure to information" that's so true I've met people who were capable of so much more but cause they were poor the fell to the bottom one of them is homeless the others gang related, dead or druggies
50 is different to all the other rappers, he answers questions with full concentration and focus he is amazing.
He’s playing chess when everyone else is playing checkers
Because he don’t take drugs and drink
Certified fact
"Your one of the squeakiest cleanest men i ever met"
50: "You can find me in the tub"
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😭😭
With a bath full of bub😂
This interview could serve as base for a Gay Porn parody hahaha
😂
Coming from a fatherless home, 50's comments about his Dad are brilliant. How can you care for a man who showed you nothing....

Well said. 11 years later. This is so on point.
Bankrupt my ass, this guy is a genius
+nick It depends on which chapter you file for, but I do think that he filed for the type that you're describing.
Of course he still has money!! He just don't won't pay that bitch compensation looool
Wow this interview is amazing. 50 is inspirational. And the fact piers is actually nice to the interviewee and congratulating them and not grilling them says it all
HOW CAN SOMEONE DISLIKE THIS?!
50 Cent is actually just amazing
Mental illness
this morgan keeps cutting him off before he's done talking, very annoying.
+gordon bowden ur a piece of shit who's just jealous
Who's watching this in 2023??
I'm watching in 2024
I must say that this interview was a pleasant surprise... This guy is so humble and poetic in what he says.
let him speak, holy shit.
50....easily one of hip hop's greatest
God bless this man, master marketing and hustler. His intelligence and shrewd demeanor totally comes through in his words.
I agree that Piers wasn't letting 50 answer his questions completely but, seriously....do you think Piers wasn't freaking out sitting directly across from the guy??!! Lol!!

I love listening to 50 talk, he is such a fantastic businessman and musician.
As a rapper, 50 cent speaks with a level of authority and intelligence.
50 Cent does actually behaves almost like a politician. He is standing straight all the time, a confident smile and sharp/quick answer. And lolololol @ 09:47
What a incredibly intelligent man and his use of words is amazing
He's not your typical hood rapper, he's lived through the struggles and knows how to make money
damn, 50 is way more sophisticated than i thought. I grew up with afew 50 CDs that we found in a used car that we'd bought, i've always liked him because of that but now I legitimately respect him
stop interrupting him and listen to what he says, god damn, Morgan!
50 cent is the greatest alive, story is legendary he made hip hop beef interesting. He stays making dope music with a gritty queen sound that resonates through ever hood as a symbol of muscling up and music
Whatever 50 went threw in his youth he definitely learned his lesson i mean man i didn't know he was so grounded and smart and he is actually wise. i hope he writes a book one day
2 books!!
By far the best interview from any rapper in the last ten years!
He wasn't what i was expecting. He comes accross as a nice guy.
I respect this guy so much.... was a businessman when he was in the streets... came in the industry and feeded off his debut album and made millions through other ventures, and now he don't need to rely on shit
so much love and respect for this guy, so humble
'When you were the top CEO of the streets' - taking that a bit far Piers...
***** Because he really wasn't.
***** Yes he was. He had a Benz at 18 due to hustling. Everybody was under fit on the block. Do your research before you open your mouth
having a benz doesn't make you CEO of the streets - i have a benz...
Real CEOs were sitting in Monaco bathing in caviar
piers showing us the art of brown nosing :D
He’s very wise!
That what puts him apart from many others!
Yh I agree with 50 when he said along the lines of 'I think if my father when there when I was younger, he would of stopped me from doing the things that I did and got into. I see my son a better version of me'. That fits in so right with me.
the FUCK when did 50 Cent have braids?
did everyone see him look down when he said he never did drugs lol who the fuck has not smoked pot??
I don't listen to 50 cent much much but he's a lot of a different person to what I expected through his music, he's actually a really respectable and interesting person!
What an eloquent, intelligent and well mannered young man.
"used to never get high, now I'm never sober" - 50 Cent, Doo wop freestyle.
I wish people nowadays could still refer to this
so fiddy was peddling bullshit when he rapped about crystal and blunts, just like africa bambatta and krs1 were saying. What a surprise. Wack wack wack
Navi Gunaratne
well. seeing it put like that, so succinct and erudite, it has completely opened my eyes to your point of view. Thank you young man
Ross Rossiter shit man did KRS1 beef with him? he's one of 50's favourite rappers haha
he still hustled, just didnt use. which if you ask anyone thats made alot of money selling drugs, is a requirement
Hows it wack? To him it was good business, everyone else rapped about that stuff, so hed cater towards a large audience that enjoyed it
FUTGuap it definately aint hip hop though, its corporate entertainment for the masses who just don't know, glossy well packaged bullshit. You'll concede that ? Cos hip hop has always been about authenticity, so called keepin it real. So he's a wack bullshit rap star who even boosted his name 'fiddy cent' from someone else, a legendary NY hustler who died in the 90's. Couldn't even be assed to make up an original name ffs.

50 cent is an actual gangster, and he's made the transition from street gangster to coorpoorate gangster, what a guy!
50 Cent is one of the realist people in the industry. Anybody thinking anything he says about his past is fake then you're pretty stupid & you need to do your research. He's beefed with so many artist & never ever did anybody call him a fraud because people that know the streets know about 50. He's an extremely smart guy/business man; legend. Inspirational - coming from nothing to becoming a billionaire.
his dad never tried to contact him? im sure he's dead then...he would have i think...
his father is preme the biggest drug kingpin in nyc
@@xarmy5669 Wrong
Guess 50 Cent likes Far Cry 3 6:54
I was a fan of this guy since Wanksta dropped and seeing all his interviews and how humble and intelligent he is….just made me a bigger fan.
He even mentions Chris Lighty as one of the few people influential to his career like Dre, Em and Jimmy.
R.I.P. and thank you Chris for bringing great hip hop acts like 50 Cent into our world. You will be greatly missed.
The idea of piers working out is an image I can live without.
"does that effect your voice?"
I couldn't stop laughing. best way to end it!
I LOVE 50 CENT!! He's just SO inspirational!
It may be an act, it may be the real 50 but one thing you cannot deny is that he is a very intelligent man, he knows how to play the game and has made his money and is now giving back.
I never though 50 was a thug i recognize talent and hard work when i see it.This interview just made me respect him more.Not sure why people desperately want him to be a thug
i remember watching the game life after math and he said 50 cent was scared of no 1 but himself and after listening to 50 in this its true
Mr 50! what an intelligent man ! what an interviwee !you've achieved so much, travelled so far, - nay sayers on here are the no where guys, bitter, non triers, and never achievers
Curtis = you ROCK
my goodness, he does look good. i thinking rapping was just an means to an end,now look at me now,i got paper!
What a friggin' intelligent, caring and wonderful person this man is.
Not if you aren't a citizen, non citizens have been deported before for treason, I'm a student of the law, I follow these things.....
50 has really come a long way! from his early music carrier to what he is doing now he has become a better person..kudos to him
More hiphop artists need to be as humble as 50. Successful, humble, even meek.
I used to drink vitamin water as a replacement for soda. It was a better selection for oxygen levels in emphysema patients. I can't believe they banished the brand. It was popular and is better than a lot of drinks sold today.
Get rich or die trying is the best rap album in the last 23 years..
the king of businessman entreprenur. no COMMENT or intro praise needed. all hail respest
50 cent is helping young kids, lyrics in songs tell stories - some stories r cute n some stories r blunt n darker, 50 cent seems like a good guy, everyone who slags him off - just wish they had his fortune n r bitter. IRON MAIDEN FOREVER HEHE ;}>
"To my piers.."
I love how succinctly the top comments describe the guys in the video.
Great story. Pissed me off that it was cut off.
This is a side of 50 not see too often. Very intelligent man
He learnt from watching others mistakes. Wise man.
I LOVED WATCHING THIS: PIERS MORGAN IS SO DIFFERENT TO 50, YET A VERY COMPETENT JOURNALIST EVEN IN THIS CONTEXT!!!!!!
50 cent is awsome and he is a man anyone can learn from
great english from 50 .No hood kak.
very formal & civil.
50 is somone who at first was given a traditional black man look of drugs ect but its amazing to see wat is really below a true gentlemen
one of my favorite cuts man guess who the fucks back
He seems like a really nice, genuine guy.. Don't let the looks fool you.
absolutely, he never lets the people he's interviewing speak.
"I work out..."
Never thought I'd hear those words come out of Piers Morgan's mouth!
Dam I respect Curtis more than ever watching this interview. Great guy.
He thinks about his answers carefully...i like that
You hit the nail on the head!
Good honest interview
But a shame piers didnt always let him finish his response ...
50's a real nice descent top bloke
50 Cent lost his mum at the age of 8. He got shit nine times! He had no chance of making anything of himself but now he his one of the biggest stars in the music industry. It doesn't matter how he got there but he his rich, he is famous and he has his own charity. You should respect that and not hate on him.
the awkward moment when 50 cent says he doesn't smoke weed when you've just listened to 50 cent - high all the time
50 cent, has his shit together. Clearly he has more heart than most mere mortals. I had never looked past the persona he created about 10 years ago. Another example of things almost never being what they seem
i don't understand why people keep attacking piers... the guy is asking questions in the same way many middle class white americans would... you can't blame the guy for not understanding how 50's old environment worked; he's never been exposed to it. i found this to be a very informative interview, good luck to both men.
if 50 cent ryhmed how he talks he'd be a all time great because the way he talks makes so much sense
50 cent is such a legend 👑
Didn't really like 50 cent before .. but hearing him talk shows me that he's actually a good person trying... And not a fake.. finally an entrepeneur not fueled by greed ...
Good point, I agree completely
love G unit man 50 u the best
lovely job by piers and great answers from 50 like always
In his music he always came off as, 'averagely intelligent' but after seeing this interview I see he is actually very intelligent.
love 50 brings me back
Listen to 50's response to Pierce's question @ 6:05 "It symbolizes success to people with small minded thinking and limited exposure to information."
fifty is great,he is a great business man,musician and humanitarian
Cool man. much respect to Curtis and the charity he offers.
coming up i was confused my momma kissing a girl. lol
This is what interviews are all about. This totally changed my perception of 50.
I'm downloading this...
Never drinks or do drugs.
Kept his head right in the streets and now in business.
Buisness man not rapper or street poet.. He a fake yeah he made money and a lot of it and other bitches did but real recognise real and he aint real
NoSurrender Who cares? He's an entertainer. Not everything he says in his songs has to be 100% factual.
Damiano Cavaliere I care! You don't hear people in the London grime scene talking absolute fantasy shit, life is about more than big rims n shake ur titties which is what comes out of 99% american rappers mouths these days
+NoSurrender fake yet he was involved with shootouts??! shot 9 times at a point?!? but he's fake?! Bruv how often does a grime artist in England get shot?! your confused fan grime is entertainment
He drinks, he just doesn't get smashed or drink excessively. Which only makes me respect him even more, he's a mature and responsible person.
This reminds me why I used to love 50.
Why dont you no more 🤔
"Limited exposure to information" that's so true I've met people who were capable of so much more but cause they were poor the fell to the bottom one of them is homeless the others gang related, dead or druggies
