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

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 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.

The, “48 Laws of Power,” is a great read and I suggest everyone read it. Reading it is one thing, but actually applying it to your life takes time.

48 Laws is the shit. So are Art Of Seduction and 33 Strategies of War. Robert Greene is my favorite author. They way his books are structured is incredible, and great reads. I recommend his work to anyone wanting to learn that type of knowledge

Garbage. Read the OG shit instead. Niggas need to learn about Sun-Tsu, Mackaveli, Napolian, and that Vet Cong kid who had his solders take the tanks appart and carry them through the jungle.

Lol, 48 Laws Of Power is so cliche. People who follow it too seriously go up in flames like 50 Cent is doing right now.

If you really want to learn something, go ask Jay-Z and people like that what they read.

^^^^^^50 is doing his thing but everyone knows 50 made his moves faster because of Jay, Diddy, and Russell Simmons paved the way. Thats why he wont get the same level of respect as Jay in alot of ways becuase he came after them and made alot of their same moves. Its easier and faster to drive the path once the people before you pave the road for you. Be Real.

50 must have sold his soul to the devil. because i see all the shit that he does and karma has never given him what he deserve. eventually that shit gonna get him and his tab is looking like its busting at the seams. And Jay-z especially, he sold his soul a long time ago. he has the baddest chick in the game (and thats looks and money). he makes million dollar moves every couple of weeks. shit just doesnt make sense

“he is havin heaven on earth, i wonder if his wings will still fit him”-jay z
