I could listen to Curtis talk for hours. He's calm and thinks things through.

[@onmypurpose9075]

50 is the textbook definition of reinvent yourself and dedication. His success and longevity comes from the fact that he can adjust in any time period.

[@Afraid10]

And some says he ain't shit ... You've heard it!!! Thumbs up if you're a true 50 Cent fan.

You have to remember that this guy didn’t graduate high school. I have to say that he is a smart and intelligent guy.

I would pay for a 50 cent Podcast each week.

every time i listen to 50 its inspiring on so many levels. His train of thought for me is almost natural for me to grasp. I would love to sit down with him and pick his brain he is always dropping jewels. i never commented on a TH-cam video but i felt i had to express my appreciation and respect.

I DON'T THINK PEOPLE WILL REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE DOORS 50 HAS OPENED UP UNTIL HE'S GONE SAD BUT TRUE!! 50 YOU ARE A LIVING LEGEND IN MY EYES AND A GLIMMER OF HOPE FOR ALL THE HOODS TO SEE BIG UP'S!!

One thing is to be a rapper... another thing is to build an empire.
Respect to 50 cent.

'50" IS A GENUINE OG

[@tiffanyingram8384]

This is a good interviewer. They have good chemistry and his answers are flowing well.

[@charmac37]

I can listen to certain people talk all day as well as have a conversation with them. 50 Cent is definitely one of those people because you will walk away knowing a little more than you did before.

[@DigitalOdyssey3001]

This is an amazing interview. 50 Cent makes you say, dayum... I have to get smarter and more strategic about my life.... this guy is a legend!

[@YungLuiyV]

Legends - 50 Cent, Nas, Eminem.

[@Blessed3175]
