Getting arrested three times in one day? That's the shit we don't like. Getting a feature placement on Kanye West's new album is a great look—Being behind bars isn't. Haven't we seen this movie before? This Chiraq MC and trouble are synomnous. Drive slow, young homie.
The whole 2 Chainz robbery fiasco. The culprits. Tit for initially denying it and you fuck boys on the Internet who made him feel like he should. Ain't no shame in defending yourself by fists or by feet. It ain't safe in these streets.
Time to stock up on your DVD collections. Curtis Jackson has just inked a $200 million 10-movie deal for his film company, Cheetah Vision. Curtis will be funded a budget of $20 million for each film, which will be distributed through Grindstone/Lionsgate. Above is a picture on the set of The Fast and Furious 5 with actor Paul Walker, who is in negotiations to star alongside 50 in his upcoming flick, Set Up.
50 you seriously wanna keep acting?!
FUCK YO ACTIN NIGGA NIGGAZ AIN CHECKIN FO THAT SHIT, WE NEED THAT MUSIC FOOL
$200 million to finance 10 movies? Doesn’t seem like alot of $$… just my opinion
@Word
Welllllll, that IS how u get better at it… O_o
Fif look like a rat fif eat pussy and ass crack
Ya heard me
No, he seriously wants to make 200 millie tho
How much money you niggaz gettin??…Thought so. Shut the fuck up you cubicle-ass niggaz!
Funny, while ya’ll hate he’s learning while making money. Learn this: everyone gets better with time.
Looks to be more than just straight to DVD. Pre-production with “Catch 44″ with Bruce Willis and Forest Whitaker, I doubt that’s straight to DVD. I give it too the young man, when bitch made(I’m looking at the author of this blog) dude start talking about straight to DVD, he must be doing something right for someone to invest 200Million on his company. So he must be profitable in this venture to get such a substantial amount of money from other people. You guys must remember America isn’t the only region these movies are distributed.
HOW MANY RAPPERS DOIN MOVIES LIK HIM
@AC@plla
But he got worse though, Get Rich was a great movie, damn near classic movie…he ain’t matched that yet and he only getting worse in my opinion
ILL WAIT
@WORD

haters ALREADY on it….50cent will be laughing straight to the bank after 4 of those movies drop
@CAPRI
Ice Cube, and his.movies.actually gross more
^lmfao…50 was borderline horrible in the GRODT film, he’s defintely got better since (see Righteous Kill/ Home of the Brave/ Gun trailer) and the only film that had a budget bigger than GRODT is Righteous Kill which makes a difference to how good the film as a whole is. Clap for him..Curt is doing something right.
THEY PAYIN HIM SO HE MUST B DOIN SUMTHIN RITE
Niggaz is mad 50 stackin up dat paper, stay mad haterz lol
THEY WANT HIM IN MOVIEZ CUZ HE BRINGZ MOR ATTENTION THAN THE OTHERZ
i m happy he found his lane …now he needs to quit rapping for a while
it is sad to see negro hating on a man just for making money. elliot if he is getting that kind money to make movies he must be doing something right.elliot wilson keep hating 50 and he will get richer. give props when props is due
is gonna ruin 10 fuckin movies smh
he´s not a good actor .. maybe a good business man but not a good actor ..you cant even understand his fuckin shit lines
On second thoughts, this nigga 50 won for another reason. Preme wanted to do EXACTLY what Curt’s side hustle is now. Remember Crime Partners? Yahhh Curt won lmafooooo
50 Rules ! FUCK HATERS !!!!!!!
wow i’m not fan of nigga the but damn sure knows how to get money how do u get a deal like that without a hit movie
God forgives. All that shit the Eminem said in all his lyrics about women, drugs, and whatnot, all the lives that Jay-Z ruined as a seller of drugs and his lyrics promoting that life, all the lives that 50 Cent ruined as a drug dealer, and his violent lyrics promoting that way of living…It’s funny to see these guys grow into men and how they mature beyond their beginnings. I hope that in private they ask for forgiveness for all that they have done. But it’s hard when so much of their fan base is based on the ugliness that they promoted in the world.
But God forgives. Congrats to 50 on this.
haha fif keeps winning and u keep hating :/ it’s a endless cycle.
looks like Hov has some competition in the race to a billi
I swear some of you guys need to learn how to read. Its a production deal for his projects, he is not starring in all the flicks. It means his company has cut a deal to have 10 Projects financed at 20 million dollar budget for 10 years. He may star in 1, but he will have actors lined up to star in these movies why because of the budget. He latest project GUN and Things fall apart barely tipped the scale over 4 million. Now he will be able to get some good actors to star in his movies because of the budget.
Using Western Michigan for making the movies and its tax incentives to cut the cost. He did just what he set out to do, start small and grow.
I guess the music career is over, lol. Bring on the straight to DVD movies.
let the hate begin
to the idiot who said 20 million dollars isnt alot to make a film try ATL was made on 20 million dollar budget Takers was made on about 30 something million dollar budget its just like a nigga who never seen 20 million dollars to downplay it then thats not including product placement and other exec producers who want to get involved when you put 20 million dollars to use on anything then you can comment on how little it is
The hate this nigga get is just unbelievable cuz like If this Nigga were to get a billion dollar deal and become the 1st billionaire rapper Niggas would be on here disputing Jay-Z been had a Billion or some shit yall Niggas need to celebrate any nigga coming from the bottoms to millions whether its soulja boy Waka Flocka Flame Nicki Minaj(Well she nto really from the hood) but any motherfucca who could be on the streets dealing to or killing one of yall cracchead family members yal should appreciate the fact that they are making money the positive way
think about..top actors get 10 to 20 million a film…he only gets 20 million for the whole film!
These are low budget films people & Fif is a poor actor..sorry!
[...] Via RR [...]
50 keeps winnin 50 keeps gettin the money
YALL BITCHES MAD!!!
ass hole low budget is from 500 thousand to 2 millions that is consider low budget. hating will not get u anywhere, 50 is making move that is all that count for him, i really believe the haters are motivating 50. he is getting richer on the hater back.
I don’t trust rapper/actors. Rapper just becomes another role they playin. Em doesn’t count he played himself.
“shoot at you actors, like movie directors”
50 stay winning, hating really doesnt help it promotes.
Here’s the real source

Hedge Fund runs pics with Cheetah
’50 Cent’ to topline first in 10-film slate
By PAMELA MCCLINTOCK
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Randall Emmett’s Cheetah Vision and George Furla’s Hedge Fund Film Partners are teaming on a 10-picture deal that’s backed by a $200 million fund. Grindstone Entertainment/Lionsgate will release the films.
Healthcare magnate Richard Jackson, real estate developer Gary Sakwa and Daniel Ret will provide the equity. Remainder of the fund will be made up of debt and tax credits.
First film under the deal is the Curtis Jackson-toplined “Set Up,” written and directed by Mike Gunther. Paul Walker is in talks to star opposite Jackson in the heist actioner, which begins shooting next month and is budgeted at $20 million.
“Set Up” revolves around a group of friends who are catapulted into the middle of a diamond heist turned deadly. Casting is under way for the other roles. Hannibal Pictures is handling international sales.
Jackson’s previous acting credits include “Righteous Kill,” which cumed $40.1 million at the domestic B.O., and “Get Rich or Die Tryin’,” which cumed $31 million.
The $200 million fund expands the existing relationship between Curtis Jackson and Emmett, who last year launched Cheetah Vision. Richard Jackson financed the first film from the banner, “Gun.”
Curtis Jackson and Richard Jackson also teamed with Emmett and Furla — who have a separate banner, Emmett/Furla Films — to produce actioner “Catch .44,” starring Malin Ackerman, Bruce Willis and Forest Whitaker. They produced “Catch .44″ in association with Megan Ellison.
“The thing about ’50 Cent’ is that, just like in his music career, he isn’t someone who sits around and waits for things to get done. He came to me and said, ‘How do we move quicker on projects?’ With this new fund, we are able to do that,” Emmett said.
Fund will finance four to five pictures a year, with moderately priced budgets in the $20 million range. Partners are hoping for the second film, which hasn’t been announced, to begin lensing in February.
“It’s very hard to raise equity today and we are lucky to have such great partners, including the amazing team of Barry Brooker and Stan Wertlieb of Grindstone and Joe Drake and Helen Kim at Lionsgate,” Emmett said.
City National Bank will handle banking, while ITS Capital will handle tax credits. Grindstone is owned by Lionsgate.
Richard Jackson owns Jackson Healthcare, while Sakwa owns the largest real estate firm in Michigan.
Emmett/Furla Films have produced dozens of films, including “Righteous Kill,” “16 Blocks” and “Street Kings.”
Cheetah Vision has named Brandon Grimes to handle productions coming out of the new fund.Jackson and Cheetah Vision are repped by CAA and Violator.
CAN’T MAKE ANY REAL MONEY ON MUSIC ALONE…NOT MAD AT CURTIS FOR KEEPING THAT SIDE HUSTLE GOING
GUESS HE GOT SOME ADVICE FROM VIVICA ON THE DVD GAME…HEARD SHE MAKES NICE MONEY FROM PRODUCING STRAIGHT TO DVD RELEASES
and its funny niggas saying straight to dvd I mean 200 million dollars invested into 10 straight dvd movies thats a lot most straight to dvd’s I know go on a budget of about 800 K the big ones get about 3 million and thats the big ones that have small screenings at some theatre doesnt sound right Coach carter,ATL a Number of tyler perry films were done on or under a 20 million dollar budget
then to be honest I dont see how the budget is a big factor nowndays when you got movies like Paranormal Activity and Cloverfield done on cameras you can get at Best Buy and shit
but like i said its just like niggas who have never even seen that kind of money to downplay it i mean who else outside of Diddy and Jay-Z are pulling in these 9 figure Deals like Wayne is still on the 7 figures and Ti and Akon starting to get them 8 figures but nobody else in this game is pulling these kind of deals you know you doing something right when you worth more than all your bosses(em,dre and Jimmy) worth put together
Fif doing what he does best making money….I dont really like his music anymore but this is why is relevant and in the conversation with the big dogs in hip hop….Jay, Kanye, Wayne and Em
Cant even hate
In the words of 50cent
IF THEY HATE LET THEM HATE AND WATCH THE MONEY PILE UP!
You people are to involved in these artists’ money instead of their art and truthfully not many are impressive! It’s like an artists’ business deal gets you niggas wet!
i LOVE HOW YOU GUYS FIND REASONS TO HATE ON 50CENT
ITS NOT HELPING HE STILL WINNING
SO COME ON LETS THINK OF SOME MORE BULL SHIT ASS REASONS TO HATE!
The world is bigger than hiphop indeed
@ the idiot who said top actors get 20 million a film yea and them films budget be set at 100-250 million dollars a film 50 cent has took no acting classes he didnt even make it through highschool to get to college to study film or business financing and he is making deals like that
and any movie that has a 20 million dollar actor is officially a blockbuster film you there is like 1 blockbuster film every 3 weeks to whereas majority of the other films are filmed on this kind of budget
then think for a second nigga would you rather put to 100 million dollars into a film with no predictions on what it can make or would you rather put 20 million into a film with no prediction on what it would make
like ask Eddie Murphy with Adventures of Pluto Nash and Meet Dave LOL you put all that money into the movie and the shit sell 5 million thats a huge fuccing loss the niggas who did Pluto Nash got 7 million dollars on a budget of 100 million dollars and eddie took home about 25 million off of that
so when you get actors in that 20 million dollars club especially when they arent putting any money into the film you take a loss regardless coming from a producer’s point of view you take a loss
then sometimes the actors take paycuts for the movie like Righteous Kill was done on a budget of about 60 million dollars Al Pacino and Dinero are both apart of the 20 million dollar club so thats 40 million just on they salary you think they did that movie which still had good vet actors outside of Pacino and Dinero Like John Leguizamo and Carla Guigino and in the big city of New York you think they still filmed that under the remaining 20 mill no Nigga Dinero and Pacino took a cut becuz they were probably really interested in the project
Y’all niggas stay hating while Fif stays winning. $200 Mill, Godamn.
NOT BAD FOR A NIGGA WHO CAN’T ACT TO SAVE HIS LIFE!!!! BUT MAYBE HE’S A BETTER PRODUCER/DIRECTOR!!!! IMMA HAVE TO SEE WHEN THE BOOTLEGS COME OUT!!!! HA!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
@Dumb Dumb STFU nobody gives a fuck that long ass post
