Personally, I'm glad that he was able to escape from the drug dealing life style and make a living for himself. However, as a parent, I hate the message being given that drug dealing can ever lead to a good life. The way its being presented is the problem, like he was making money dealing drugs until something better came along.
Don't ever believe dealing drugs will ever get you anywhere in life because it won't. 50 Cent got lucky you WON'T be so lucky you could end up in jail or dead.
I think that 50 Cent was lucky he made to stardom but I disagree with the way he brags about dealing drugs if you remember he got shot thats definitely not fasionable.
This is something that's been going on for a long time. Rapper's like Easy E , Jay Z, and Master P have done this way before 50 Cent. It seems like it's a trend now. Most but not all Rapper's are born into poverty. But you are right Konquererz. This does send a wrong message to the the youth. I've personally known people who have done the same. Never had a normal job in their life or finished high school. And now they are Millionaire.
