Here’s 50 Cent on my favorite show. He speaks on the Tiger Woods drama that everyone seems to be stuck on but that’s not why I chose this clip. The reason that I am sharing this with you is because 50 says that if he had the opportunity to trade his street cred for a degree–he would. I think that was an amazing statement to make and a great message to send to the younger generation. Nice job Curtis.

Snoop Doggy Dogg, the family man. I think it’s amazing that Snoop is going the extra mile to make a positive influence in his children’s life. A coach, a father, husband, and a rap icon, that’s huge!

Goddamn girl… That Rihanna reign just won’t let up…

This track is definitely going to enrage a lot of people but I don’t care. It was well written from one of the best artists here and came from the heart. Prepare to be offended. Great song…

Correction: this is an old song but its still good.

I like this fast paced track with Lupe and Trey Songz. Great chorus. This was the bonus song for the Japanese limited edition version of Lupe’s album The Cool.

50 Cent recently sat down with Esquire and spoke sincerely about the things that he has learned over the years. Check out these pearls of wisdom.

If I’d had a choice, I would’ve been a college kid. I would’ve majored in business.

I never saw drug use as a good option. I’d rather have an additional ten dollars than smoke. It wasn’t a decision to not smoke weed. It was a decision to hustle. It was a business decision.

There’s people who are considered intelligent who are idiots.

People who raise their hands deserve to be ahead of people who don’t.

Money is freedom. Money is a private plane. Money is no metal detection.

Don’t wait for them to tell you. Tell them.

There are too many entrepreneurs. We need the worker to make the process function properly.

Money is not going to make you happy. A new idea is what makes you happy.

When I got shot, it was a $5,000 exchange. The price of a life is cheap.

Obama takes away the excuses.

The best businessmen in the world make a bad deal sometimes. And it’s not usually in a boardroom. Most of them marry the wrong woman. That business deal is the worst business deal of all.

All the women have contributed to my success. Every one.

My son is more important to me than I am to him.

Always have bail money.

Am I an honest man? I’m a selectively honest man.

Jay-Z is as politically correct as some of the politicians. He’s safe. There’s points when you’re acquiring financing, you make adjustments. He’s made those adjustments. It’s his choice. For me, it’s not a necessity.

Depression is a luxury I still can’t afford.

Hip-hop is arrogant because people are arrogant.

You need a respectable opponent, but you don’t have to respect ‘em. In the end you’re gonna finish ‘em anyway, right?
