50 Cent & The Author of, “48 Laws Of Power,” Prepare To Drop, “The 50th Law”

50 Cent 

He really talks about himself as more of a hustler than a musician. Though he certainly is a musician. The word hustler has a lot of mythology behind it. Nobody ever breaks it down. What does it really mean?
Essentially the hustler is a figure to me, thats very American. It goes back to the 19th Century. Its ingrained in our country. We’ve always kind of had that figure. But it kinda got taken to another level in urban America in the 20th century. Predominantly associated with the black hustler. The hustler is an entrepreneur. This book celebrates their mentality. These are people who are incredibly resourceful. They are incredibly inventive and creative. They just don’t have the resources for anything that we consider worthy. But much of what they do is just as interesting as a business man or politician. Its working with the little you have, and making something out of it. The attitude, and the way they go about it fascinated me.

50 Cent really embodies that. To the core he has that mentality. Each law, is kinda illustrated with stories like my other books. The stories are basically about him. His days as a hustler on the streets- dealing drugs mostly. Then there are stories about him in the music and business world. But he brings the same hustler mentality from when he was dealing drugs to how he now operates. I’m showing the connection of how this mentality is very appropriate to 21st Century America. Its a very powerful way of being. There is a lot to learn from that in a business sense, or a power sense or just a being sense.
