If you start hustling then don't pay a person what they deserve, pay them what they accept. That's good business. Even if you're not hustlin' pay them what they accept because you can capitalize off of people.
A man becomes as attractive as an attractive woman when he becomes successful and is publicly noted. Power`s an aphrodisiac.

Hate a liar more than I hate thief. A thief is only after my salary a liar is after my reality.
They don't understand the process I went through and how much I had to believe in myself...
Some people are born with very little; some are fortunate enough to have it all. When I grew up, we didn't have much. I had to hustle to get what I wanted... but I had that hunger for more. I didn't always make the right choices, but I learned from my mistakes.
Every negative is a positive. The bad things that happen to me, I somehow make them good. That means you can't do anything to hurt me.
I never allowed my fear to limit me.
Success is my drug of choice.
The greatest fear people have is that of being themselves. They want to be 50 Cent or someone else. They do what everyone else does even if it doesn’t fit where and who they are. But you get nowhere that way; your energy is weak and no one pays attention to you. You’re running away from the one thing that you own – what makes you different. I lost that fear. And once I felt the power that I had by showing the world I didn’t care about being like other people, I could never go back.

I wanted to do something as an extension of my passion for music. My aim for the STREET by 50 On-Ear Wired Headphone range is to present music as it's meant to be heard, in studio-mastered sound.
I like to sort through music and see whatever pops out to me or inspires me. If I could have a production team going and kind of mix records with me, that would be cool; to take the records and have them sound the way I want them to sound. But I'd rather sort though music to find them things.
