Cent started selling drugs as a teenager in the 1980s during the crack epidemic. He later pursued an acting career, and in 2000 he recorded Power of the Dollar for Columbia Records, but days before the scheduled release he was shot, and the album never came out.
In 2002, following the time that 50 Cent dropped the album compilation Guess What’s happening? The rapper was found by Eminem and was signed with Shady Records, under the aegis of Dr. Dre’s Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records.
Thanks to Eminem along with Dr. Dre (who produced his first major-label album, Get Rich or Die Tryin’) 50 Cent was one of the top-selling rappers. He became a household name as his de facto head of the East Coast hip hop group G-Unit.
