50 Cent By The Numbers 10 Years Later
February 6, 2013 @ 11:51 AM EST

50 Cent didn’t have to die to get rich. Thanks to his blockbuster debut Get Rich Or Die Tryin’, 50 flipped his underground hustle into a multi-million dollar empire. Today, Fif celebrates the 10 year anniversary of his multi-platinum seller. A lot has changed since then, but Fif’s managed to roll with the times. Above is an infograph chronicling his decade-long journey. Pretty impressive resume. Sip some some Bacardi and toast to a landmark career.
Respect.
50 is the definition of a BOSS from his days as a street gangster to now. He did more in a year than most rappers will do in their lives.

TAKE THAT HATERS!!!!
……HA!!!! QUEENS WINS AGAIN!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
50 is a real nigga and real niggas know that. dont forget about the g unit radios and all the othre mixtapes he was involved in
As much as I hate his music but Respect to his hustle
Salute. Real G who made it and is doing real boss shit.
FIF made a great impact on HIP HOP. He still grinding on everything from music and movies and business ventures. Much respect to you Curtis Jackson. B. Dot I seen that interview on Al Lindstrom good job my dude.
@ZoomZoomDad-Otis Thank ya kindly.
GRODT was in my car CD deck for that whole year. Never took that shit out. That’s when you know you got a real classic. Last hip hop album I’ve listened to repetitively.
So far, Good Kid Mad City has still been stuck in my car since it came out.
Reblogged this on LiveLoveMuzik.
Nelly did just as much as him!!
and where is nelly now……then where is 50 pure respect to his hustle. ..even though he gets arrogant sometimes
That 1,000,000 sold for before I self destruct is a little suspect but a great career nonetheless.
50 is a legend.
need beats?

no mainstream bullshit ^
@dndamien
OK no disrespect to the body of work but if Before I Self Destruct sold a million then I got a 14 inch dick
Not many hip hop artists with such a resumé!
.
50, one of the most entertaining dudes in the game! Waiting for that album though…!
I couldn’t stand dude for talking disrespectful about RZA and Wu-Tang. But I’ve grown to respect him. He was the first hip-hop artist I actively disliked. Up to that point, if I didn’t like your music, I just ignored you. Nowadays I actually find myself rooting for him. I wish it were possible for him to mend fences, it seems as if he will always need a presidential detail because of all the bridges he’s burned. It’s like Suge Knight used to be so feared, and as he’s fallen more and more people have touched him.
@PolarBearsToenails: These figures are very likely to be WorldWide figures. And whilst most hip hop acts don’t sell internationally, 50 does. Whilst most dudes in Europe barely know who the majority of American rappers are, 50 cent is an icon. He’s mad famous, not only by hiphop fans, but by the mainstream. How come? Well, when you ride with Em, and have worldwide #1 hits, that’s what you get, for better or worse.
CRAZY!!!!!! Congrats to the man
This guy has been dirt poor, been jail, been shot 9 times, been black balled and the only person who was willing to help him got killed. So there should be no excuses to be successful…
In jail*
Zero Grammys
Oh wait nevermind I was just hatin. Congrats 50
…. and just 1 good song (In Da Club)
Respect!!!
he doesn’t need no Grammy’s ..he could buy one if he want…
Nice words after that 50 cent tweet.
Look at the people hating on his resumée! pathetic! This guy is the definition of make something out of nothing. Oh and he’s always been the same, never changed for nobody…
those asking bout the BISD sales….the sales are world wide not only US…he sold 500k in the US..
Respect to the man.
Now with all that 50 has been through,he is one of the few rappers who could have made a song like “Started From The Bottom”
Too bad Drake ran with it first,its a great concept for a song but doesnt fit Drake at all,he has never been at the bottom.Period
NUFF SAID.
hes in my top 5,…fuck omar saint louis
Well done to 50, mad respect. Besides Eminem & Mc Hammer, i dont know any other rapper that has a resume this impressive. I know Pac did well album sales wise on a global scale, Snoop & Jigga as well but their resumes dont look like this. Nelly was US sensation not a global sensation.
Eminem or OutKast by the numbers would be much more interesting…
@HipHopLives thanks for that because I was about to cosign @BBGUN because I don’t remember BISD selling that much but if that’s 1mil WW that’s understandable I guess. I actually didn’t even think he’d go Gold with that.
I will say this about 50 nowadays, his rap might not be as good, but I honestly feel like part of it is because he keeps it real. He’s not gonna make songs talking about killin people or sellin drugs now cause he’s been so far removed from it for so long. So he raps about his money, business ventures and his outlook on life.
His music maybe suffered, but at least he’s not rapping about sellin tons of coke and all the stupid shit a lot of big rappers (especially Ross) rap about.
Respect 50 cent *worldwide icon*
Eminem #1 worldwide ( 100milli Album + 66 mili facebook + 1.5 billion youtube views+grammy’s awards +oscar+……..)
I know mac diesel came on his computer screen reading all that.
good stuff tho. why did he leave 40 glocc off the artist section
Hate him or love me, his movement was crazy. Shit was bigger than the Wu-Tang movement. We will never see this again in hip hop.
Where ross resume at?
Does MMG know about this post?
@p0is0nedkoola on Twitter
Lester Bangs of hip hop
Bawse’s hurt feelings
dis nigga done sold more records den mmg and we the best records all together……. maybe stil be some more left
Yeah, that Before I self destruct number is hella suspect, hahaha.
This is his new artist DOPE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHxEMa0MnLw&feature=youtube_gdata_player
wait so jay-z don’t count
before i self destruct may actually sold 1 million by now. it was over 500K 2+ years ago.
btw, BISD leaked one month before its official release. the numbers he did with it were good. he already had put out so much content with so many mixtapes and albums. he needs to follow eminems tracks tho. he needs to grow up as a musician. less rapping about shiny stuff , more rapping about real life problems nowadays. i can’t believe him sometimes. he has that SK movement thing, feed a billion starving people and he still releases songs about dealing and killing.
street king immortal.. he has the new day song and dont turn on me ft skylar grey… i think street king immortal will be classic… he going to give the ghetto kids a little motivation!
50 had such a huge impact in Hip Hop. Congrats to him.
this is pure inspiration.
respect the hustle
THEY TAKE THE GREATS FROM THE PAST AND COMPARE US
I WONDER IF THEY’D EVER SURVIVE IN THIS ERA….. – Drake
BISD numbers look bogus tho
@shamba menelek those are world wide numbers not us numbers. In the us he sold 500k. He went gold in feb of 2010.
don’t forget all the g-unit radios
bossssssssssssssssssssssss !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so fucking huge
fifth is the last of a dying breed i wish i had the opportunity to work with someone of his genius
@Donn. stfu.

Congrats to 50 is in order. But, top 5 dead or alive? Not even close.

While the quality of his work has declined, mad respect to Fifty.
