  • damn i didnt realize how intelligent and well spoken 50 is. great mind and very entertaining rapper

  • the interviewers dont even care what they're saying lol they just moveo n to the next ?

  • Curtis sells a cheesy lame product but he seems like a pretty cool guy.

  • 50 likes and I will...

  • very impressive 

  • 50 cent is almost and soon to be a billionaire cuz hes an idiot he is smarter than u think and he never went to college street smarts is very important you can go to college for 4 yrs but without street smarts u won't make a billion

  • @tdubb505 its not really street smart, its just a lot of skills you can learn from business school you can learn in the streets, not every nigga who sells crack in the hood, and not every rich nigga who goes to business school, theres no deffinate way to make it.

  • jesus 50's tie is crooked as fuck.

  • Donald Trump can teach wealthy kids how to become more wealthy. As far as for regular people......Warren Buffet would be the one to follow. THEN when you get money follow Donald.

    Branding yourself is very important. Donald knows this and does it well.

  • 50 Cent is one intelligent individual. That's why he's so successful, and that's also why he survived what he's been through.

  • 50 Cent on CNBC October 25, 2011 watch?v=Nuwq-k_r77M

  • a lot of people have no idea that there are a few undercover geniuses walking around not looking like the image you would expect

  • 50 change your name into 500 million cent

  • with all that money he doesnt even need to fix that tie....he donnt even speak like a ganster no more but like a business man

  • Comment removed

  • 50cent knows how to market himself, that's for sure. He appears dumber to cater to the huge low IQ crowd.

  • You said it all Pal! He is a very smart man who catered to the smart and to the less smart folks.

  • @LatestUFOSightings stupid people are easer to manipulate 

  • I love this book!!!!

  • he's not a sell out..he had a plan from day one.

  • Check out my 50 cent drawing on my page, it looks just like him!

  • 50 cent is a genius.  Period.

  • You would be forgiven to think that Fiddy is a Harvard graduate.  I will buy his books for sure.

  • He is certainly impressive in this interview. Very intelligent and repsonsive, and strictly basing from his background, one would think otherwise. Ive got a new perspective on 50 cent, but i feel like he's been this way for quite while, very savvy with money and business opportunities. I can imagine selling drugs can make you that way, but the man's been gunned down--possibly for drugs--that is a sign of success in the hood.

  • 50 a boss

  • I bought the book bc of 50d and it's good no lie

  • 50 can code switch. Your in the bussiness to get paid, correct. I respect his ability to stay in there; Now books, okay.

  • @Bachirali Yes he can code switch and thank goodness for that! lol. I am in awe of his mind. I got that book and it's really a must have.

  • 50 cool and a business man but he is also a sell out and he admits it. Getting paid even if you selling yourself out.

  • he never answered the woman's first question..she asked is there any more deals on the horizon etc..he just answered why he invested in vitamin water...probably because that's all he remembers from his prep interview!

  • @blondethigh That was the deal on the horizon, so to speak...

  • he never answered the womens first question..she asked is there any more deals on the horizon etc..he just answered why he invested in vitamin water...prob because thats all he remembers from his prep interview!

  • What i like 50 for is how he answers Questions so Quick and Elaborate. Nothing Hidden. Most Rappers will start off smiling: meaning they can't answer properly and some Rappers just start off saying.. You know what am saying.. without saying anything that should be understood by the Interviewer or the Listener.

  • NIGGAS TIE IS CROOKED

  • @xplosiv757 Wow that is all you got from that? SMH

  • he didnt get shot 9 times he lied about he only got shot 3 times

  • I respect rappers hustle and all. But in the end you have all the money and then what? All you want is more and more. Buying, consuming, wanting, needing. But you can never buy the universal things like love, peace, spirit, life and happiness. Material is temporary. I would advice people to get knowledge and lessons from the bible instead. Owning and earning too much money is only nice for so long. It is much more satisfying to give it away. At least for me. I invest time in my spirit and God.

  • @royalsteven  I take it your broke.

  • Not at all. Like I said, when you´re filthy rich and spiritually dead what use is that? I´m sure you understand me.

  • @royalsteven Churches are full of Spritually and mentally dead ppl. Better to be rich than broke.

  • Spiritually rich > Materialistic rich

  • @royalsteven Here we go again with these spiritual Christian fools. YOu probably hear from God and speak in gumble tongue too. Lol. 

  • Not yet! Jaja, yes ofcourse God answers you, in dreams, with thoughts/ideas, feelings, blessings. He works with you. And He loves you too! Even though you don't love Him. You do not really think we are on this earth alone to make money do you?

  • @royalsteven Of course we are supposed to make money. That falls under the curse given at the Garden; "By the sweat of thy brow." God does not speak through thouths or dreams. That is witch craft and not of God. What God has to say to humanity he already did through his book and prophets. So stop with your witch craft religous christianity and get with reality. I believe in Yaway but Christians like you drive people away and turn doubters into atheist with your false religion.

  • Ok whatever. YAHWEH does speak through dreams. Remember He gave Josef and Mozes dreams? And who not? He gives prophecies, dreams, blessings, ideas, inspiration. And if you are willing to use it you can work with Him. Just because you have another view as mine doesn´t make mines wrong.

  • @royalsteven  Well said.

  • @royalsteven "Woe to you who call yourselves Jews but are of the synogogue of Satan." "Be careful," Jesus said to them. "Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."

  • Yes I know. What has this to do with me? I co not call myself Jew but I study their teachings. And I am not pharisee because I believe, follow and love Yeshua. Do you read the Peshitta, Tanakah and Greek translations too or does your Christian/Jew knowledge only go so far?

  • @royalsteven Our conversation is now over. Hope you actually read the bible and are not another blind holy roller fool.

    

  • @JCGCINC But really and truly he's right because eternity and after life is what matters. The money and cars are going to pass away and go NOWHERE with you when you die.

  • aww thats so cute, they put a monkey in a suit!

  • Like many others,i don't wish to see the brother fall but all that faking and fronting he had been doing will catch up to him. He is a known coke head like 99.9% of hollywood, he us a known liar "if kanye sell more records then me, I'm out the rap game". And karma is a bitch.ok ja rule sucked badly but a real man don't come up in life from putting down another man. He is a snake in the grad waiting to be beheaded

  • Apparently no one mentioned to 50 cent that the typical gangster rap fan has never opened a book in their life, and probably can't read this comment to begin with.

  • @mookixox lol

  • 50 Cents Crooked tie = Law # 21 

  • Robert Greene + 50 Cent = Good move for both!

  • Comment removed

  • 50 cent has come a hell if a way coz his mom was murder when he was 8 n he started to sell coke on the streets when he was like 14 n he was in jail 4 ages n when he was going home when was jumped n shot 9 time n 1 through the jaw

  • 50 cent is great

    came from nothing to something really big

    JUST LIKE EMINEM and many other rappers, except 50 is a business man

  • All that money and cant even find someone to straighten out that tie! GGGGGGnot

  • @Enoy619 hhaahahahaahhaa

  • JUST ANOTHER IDIOT RAPPER? LOL I THINK NOT. GET YA HUSTLE ON 50

  • A chick with a nice rack really makes a great broadcast

  • Great story

  • 50 cent is honestly my damn hero...nothing to everything.

  • Lol i am going to get that book !

  • WOW, 50 Cent can read?!!??

  • @TomCollins006 i think so. he went from a broke dude to a 600 million dollar man. pretty obvious

  • @xwDup 750+ now lol

  • @xwDup lol........he was never broke....he was selling dope since he started rapping

  • do i have to read 48 law.....to read 50th law ???

  • @Andre2Dayle its helps

  • @Andre2Dayle no

  • Bill O'Reilly is pissed LMAO

  • 50 came from nothing. He struggled, he hustled, he was shot and beaten by the world at large, and his fearlessness should be applied to every waking moment of life. If you aren't sure how to do that, combine the first 48 laws, the art of war, and this book and live. Live knowing how to fight, where to fight, and how to be tactical, and live knowing you will overcome.

  • 5:10 that's so true

  • They just laughed people in the hood hahaha

  • This man is a genius, fuck all you who think that he got lucky. He had nothing and made something out of it.

  • Cracker

  • I am black i am enrolled in college. I am a senior, I will have a my BA in English. There are more black women in college than black men.

  • WHY IS THIS BUSINESS, INTELLECTUAL SIDE OF 50 SO HARD TO COPY BY MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO WANNA BE LIKE, HIM? SAME WITH LIL WAYNE HE WENT TO COLLEGE AND GRADUATE HOW COME A LOT OF YOUNG BLACK PEOPLE OUT R NOT FOLLOWING THOSE STEPS? I CAN STILL COUNT BLACK PEOPLE IN MA COLLEGE WITH MA FINGERS........

  • 5:10 - Knowledge that people who did not GROW UP in a "ghetto" or working-class environment always FORGET. Excellent point, 50. Excellent point. Wow.

  • Really enjoyed what 50 Cent had to say here. But around 6:30 he said that he was the first musical artist to get a shoe deal saying it was reserved to professional athletes, but Run DMC had shoes with Adidas in the '80s around the time of "My Adidas" in 1986. Run DMC were the emcees who pioneered branding in hip hop.

  • @Pocketrocklife Run DMC had an endorsement deal with Adidas, but 50 had his own show come out. That's the difference.

  • @CaptainNensho I like that comment. It shows how ignorant you are, he must be doing something right for you to call him that. Keep it up.

  • @CaptainNensho Man I'm not black but I think your ass whupping is way past-due. I'd volunteer for that. What say you Captain? You have some unresolved issues from your childhood. Are you sure a nigga ain't been in your mommy before? Just asking. :-)

  • @CaptainNensho a nigger is know to be an ignorant person... 50 seems to be really smart and if you don't know that then what does that make you.... a NIGGER!! off yourself

  • Get your tie straytened out, you look like a freakin' stockbrokerwanabe!

  • @E1Jimbo damn u notice that get off the dude dick fam

  • @E1Jimbo How is a stockbroker wana be when he makes more then any stockbroker period he made 100 mil of water sells millions of albums when ever he makes one and he is a stockbroker wanna be so what that make you? A cum sucking bastard

  • @SIRHENNY1

    Your wrong! And you're pretty retarded with a braincapacity scoring low even for an inbreed, I'm guessing because of your ever-so-dumb remark!

    So what does that make you?? ...... Sterile hopefully, for the rest of the worlds sake!

  • Comment removed

  • @SIRHENNY1

    Wrong again! But I guess you use to that!

    You really aren't that bright are you?

  • @E1Jimbo Im sure Im going to let you think that because it's to hard for you to comprehend it to your microscopic filthy human brain

  • @E1Jimbo But I guess it's true what they say "There more ignorant people then smarter people" since you lack in the ability to think I see you just act on ignorance just sad i feel sorry for you, and as for the rest of the world who don't know me or you FUCK EM and you that's for my sake I really don't a flying fuck what the world sake is. All humans like you are dirty cave dwellers who would never step foot on wallstreet so some advice from me is..... Stop bitching.

  • @SIRHENNY1

    Again with the brainless nonsense. This is getting old!

  • @E1Jimbo Huh? I can't understand bullshit again igaf do you

  • @SIRHENNY1

    Nevermind!

    I'm guessing there's loads you don't understand!

    Now let the nice nurse restrain you to your bed again and pump you full of meeds!

  • @E1Jimbo Awww is someone still mad? Do you need mommy to help you spell your words right!

  • Robert Greene's facial hair makes it looks like his face is scarred

  • 50 cent round 99' - "If I aint rich by 26, Ill be dead or in jail"

    He predicted that fairly well.

  • @madhash83 ..I don't think he got famous until he was 29..I think...but I think that's why he became so successful because he felt like he had no other option.

  • @tswagg504 Most that feel they have no other options give up, 50 became successful because he was determined not to fail.

  • @madhash83 ..oh no, I meant that 50 succeeded because his only other option was death. He did not have the option to waste his money, or waste time. He HAD to make it. And, I think that's a good mindset to have.....to be desperate for success.

  • @tswagg504 Yea, the hunger will keep you going if your're strong enough to deal with it. Alot of ppl in his situation would've quit or turned to drug use, some ppl would try to run but he stood his ground and now he's enjoying the fruits of his labor.

  • I love that he uses phrases like "brand extension' and "infant stages." He is a savvy business man. I am proud.

  • the man is shrewd.

  • It's so funny how 50 dumbs himself down for the masses. He comes off like a business savvy man in this interview.

    I like him. :D

  • @Chris1218218 Yea, If you listen to his older music before he got shot, he had a whole different style of rapping. He was always a great story teller but he mixed the lyricism with it. After he got shot he "switched the style up" because the masses want simple melody. But rap did change ALOT from when he first came out in 98' and after 03' when he became world famous. He saw the change and rolled with it. Before rap he was a hustler. And what is a hustler? A great business man.

  • @Chris1218218 Keep riding 50, I like it LOL

  • Some things you may have overlooked.

    7:27: Nervous Laugh.

    7:29: Uncomfortable Question

    7:36: Wingman's attempt to save '50'

    7:54 - 8:05: 50's kill shot.

    8:03: 'A hater' slyly asks "where is it?"

  • Comment removed

  • lol rolling stones only called business selling out, because the music industry back then was actual music, nowadays the MUSIC aspect is 'selling out'. wtf is dolci boi and gabana man.

  • This reminds me of Stringer Bell meeting with those downtown developers.

  • @tedhughjacker Haha yeah.

  • @tedhughjacker except fifty cent doesn't get shot at the end. He even says he lives below his means. This guy seems like he's actually pretty smart with his finances.. And I'm not even a fan. Respect for this dude.

  • 50 is so damn smart,

    G G G G G G-Unit man ! Thumb Up !

  • straiten up that tie fiddy!! lol

  • I am just so confused by him! I mean utterly confused. One minute he's starting shit with some other rapper and saying ignant shit, then the next minute he's removing his body of tats to be more marketable in films and being interviewed on CNBC about gaining and managing money...I mean wtf! Am I the only one who's flabbergasted by this man?

  • @hellokittycutie2003 He didn't remove his tattoos to "be more marketable in films" it was because of the character he was playing in a movie. He also had to lose a lot of weight

    It just shows that he isn't one-dimensional, no one is. He came from a bad place and that will always be a part of him but he has also found success and grown up and is intelligent.

    Bottom line don't put someone in a box and label them one way people have different facets of their personality and who they are

  • @101feven101 No, he actually said himself, that the reason he removed the tats was to not only be more marketable as an actor but it also prevents him from sitting in makeup chairs for hours just to get a good cover up. He said so himself. And I know about 50's background. And it's not about putting someone in a box, I never judge one on their looks or past. But, just the other day he went on a Twitter tirade that was just ignorant. That's my point...it's like he's schizo.

  • @hellokittycutie2003 It's not him writing the tweets stupid.

  • @hellokittycutie2003 I am confused as well. One minute he seems like a well educated and intelligent man. Then the next minute he seems like an ignorant, uneducated, narrow minded prick. I think what it comes down to is that he's a business man at the end of the day. 50 cent is the persona he needs to sell to the public and in doing so, he will promote and uphold this character or alter ego of his. Or maybe he's just psychotic... but of course we all have different facets to our personalities.

  • @bangemlikeapornstar when he's talking to dudes in the street he's street. on cnbc he's business,

  • 50 is actually intelligent

  • Sorry but true Mc's dont post on the opposition just my opinion. Heis into something else

  • That example of Mike Tyson at the end says it all!

  • one of the 48 laws of power is to appear ''dumber'' than you really are....if anyone has ever heard 50 cent's early tracks like ghetto qur'an you can hear for yourself he is intelligent and not as stupid as he seems to be from 2003 to now..and yet manages to use this skill to market himself and endorsements..think about that..

  • This guy is so full of crap. He's making it sound like he invented Vitaminwater walking through the supermarket. The truth is that the company was founded in 1996 and he received 10% of the company in 2004 for endorsing the product after the founder discovered that 50 was a fan.

    No doubt about his marketing skills, he sure creates the reality distortion field.

  • @abay001 He didn't invent it. but his brand of vitamin water sold more than all the others.

  • wen is befor i self destruct comin out?

  • @LiBlub1

    Hate is cancer. "One serious so called black entertainer"?

    So if you own music company, a publish company, website company, clothing company, film company, a water beverage, shoe brand with Reebock, a fragrance, watch company, mansions, music awards, and multiples of other entertaining ventures... But YOU say he's not a "serious" ....lol too you!

    Wow people hate winners bad!! Peace.

  • @TheNobleMoor good call men, I believe you'll be successful if you understand this.

  • There are a lot of legitimate black entertainers, a lot of them rap stars, why didn't you just put one serious person in there instead of this guy.

  • I read the book. It was a great read! Go head 50!

  • 50 is a great husler.

    I dont like your music (exept of "Get rich,or die tryin") but i respect you.

  • this is how you know you made it.

    on cnbc fuck yea

  • I dont know what is more amazing, the fact that this guy gets shot 9 times and lives, or the fact that he came from the bottom of the bottom as far as demographic and holds a conversation that intelligable without trying to prove anything.

  • @The4one4you4slept4on he is the man.

  • @The4one4you4slept4on Very well said. You comment deserves an Oscar. lol

  • The boy know how to speak unlike many many many rappers

  • Why did they laugh when 50 said where he comes from the majority of people have always lived in a recession, he was being deadly serious, smh

  • 50 is the hands down

  • 50 should retire, he was good now hes shit

  • is he wack or just that gangsta rap is wack now?. ppl always like whats hot in the present and right now gangsta rap is not.

  • LMAO!!!!! at 8:14 he actually says " FITTY CENT" lol

  • yeah this book is amazing, it does honestly change you in a way. Its really inspiring i suggest it for everyone i only spent 24.99$ around xmas time{and i detest reading books with no purpose}

  • hahaha look at roberts face after he's called the "co-author"

  • $100Million for some Sugar Water WOW! Thats Great.Now I gotta come up with a Gimmick.

  • numbers dont lie $100million from vitamin water alone !!! , 50 prob reading this counting his 100 mil while ur stuck at home writing shit , not bad for as u call "pathetic ghetto faggot" !!

  • wow you know if he wanted too he could find you and fuck u in the ass but that would prove he is a faggot lol

  • he did get shot in the mouth, i would imagine that would make speaking a more arduous task

  • silentmajorityrules/fuck rap its for people who are too stupid to learn to play a musical insturment.

    don't be so narrow minded!

    rap music has many people who can play instruments...

  • nice upload. anyone read the book?

  • @VinnyLT9000 I've have. It's incredible.

  • @VinnyLT9000

    @VinnyLT9000

    I have, and I would recommend it. It's easy to read, which is a plus, harder to implement, but then real growth is always hard. Certainly good on it's own and as an introduction to the wider self help genre, though I do think it stretched 50s similarity to historical figures a little far. I'd also recommend 7 habits of highly effective people by Stephen Covey (which I personally found VERY hard to get through, though everything in it rings true).

  • @VinnyLT9000

    One book I WOULD avoid is How to Think Big & Kick Ass by Donald Trump; reads like it was written by a 5year old, and extremely reductivist in its outlook.

    Also, whatever you read, think back to whatever you've read before, how it agrees & disagrees with what you've read before, and how you understand it and how it affects different parts of your life. I find that increases my understanding, and how I can apply it and change my behaviour.

  • @TheKlink A reading I would recommend is The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli. I believe Greene touched on it a little when he said something about Machiavellian business in the Hip-Hop. It was a book written in the around the 1400's in which Niccolo Machiavelli describes exactly what prince' need to do in order to obtain and gain power. These lessons can be applied to all aspects of life and there's no slick back sleezy fuckin Donald Trump trying to tell you how to borrow your daddies money.
