After more than 20 years of debut, the American rapper 50 Cent finally left his name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the United States with his outstanding musical career and personal influence, and won his honorary star.

Two of 50 Cent's, rapper Eminem and hip-hop producer Dr. Dre, attended the important unveiling ceremony.

50 Cent said in his speech: "Without the support of Dr. Dre and Eminem, I don't think my career would be where it is today. Dr. Dre is a mentor to the whole team because he can guide us in different ways. ”

Eminem later spoke at the scene: "When I first met 50 Cent, I was convinced that he would become a superstar. I'm here today because he's not only my business partner, but also one of the best friends I've ever met in the world. I have to say that being his friend is much more fun than being his enemy. He was always there for me when I needed him. ”

American rapper Curtis James Jackson III, stage name 50 Cent, was born in 1975 in Queens, New York.

In the late 1990s, 50 Cent signed a contract with Columbia Records and began working on a solo album.

On 24 May 2000, 50 Cent was shot at 161st Street, Jamaica, Queens, and a total of nine 9mm bullets hit him, one piercing his face, one on his hand, and the other seven on his arm and leg.

The reason for the shooting was the leak of the 50 cent new song "Ghetto Qu'ran (Forgive Me)" (Slum Quran), which was disliked by Islamists.

Upon learning of this news, Columbia Records immediately canceled the plan to release the album "The Power of the American Circle" and directly terminated the contract with 50 cent.

50 Cent then formed the G Unit with a group of friends and started the life of an underground orchestra with the help of producer Sha Money XL.

In 2002, 50 Cent released his select album Guess Who's Back?, which was generally well received by music critics and reached number 28 on the US Billboard 200 chart.

After releasing the album, 50 Cent was discovered by rapper Eminem and signed to the company.

A year later, 50 Cent's debut solo album, Get Rich or Die Tryin', was released, directed by Dr. Lee. Dre and Eminem, among others, led the production and invited singers such as Eminem, Nate Dogg, Young Buck, Lloyd Banks to collaborate.

The album debuted first on the Billboard 200 after its release, selling 8.4 million copies in the United States, was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, and was included in Rolling Stone Magazine's list of the best albums of the 21st century.

In 2003, 50 Cent founded G-Unit Records.

In 2005, the second album The Massacre was released, also directed by Dr. Lee. Produced by the likes of Dre and Eminem, the album sold 5.36 million copies in the U.S. and 15 million copies worldwide as of 2015.

For many Chinese fans (including the author) who have been exposed to American rap music since the mid-2000s, 50 Cent is one of their important rap music initiations.
