From Pieces to Weight: Once Upon a Time in Southside Queens by 50 Cent

Book of the Week: From Pieces to Weight: Once Upon a Time in Southside Queens
50 Cent (Author)

This violent and introspective memoir reveals not only 50 Cent’s story but also the story of a generation of youth faced with hard choices and very few options. It is a tale of sacrifice, transformation, and redemption, but also one of hope, determination, and the power of self.

Told in 50’s unique voice, the narrative drips with the raw insight, street wisdom, and his struggle to survive at all costs — and behold the riches of the American Dream.

50 Cent has sold over 20 million records worldwide. His record-breaking debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin’ has sold over 12 million units worldwide, with the largest debut in SoundScan history. While his sophomore effort, The Massacre, sold over 1.14 million copies in its first four days of release, he has since become the fi rst artist to have four songs in the top ten of Billboard’s Hot 100 since The Beatles in 1964.

His business empire includes: a record label (G-Unit Records, a division of Interscope Records), apparel/footwear ventures (G-Unit Clothing and footwear, joint ventures through the Ecko Clothing Company and Reebok, respectively), vitamin water (Formula 50, through Glacéau’s Vitamin Water), watch line (G-Unit Watches, through Jacob & Co), and a video game (50 Cent: Bulletproof, through Vivendi Games). His future plans are to dominate the film and television worlds through two new G-Unit ventures in film and television…and his most prized project: the nonprofit organization The G-Unity Foundation, which aims to better the life of urban youth.
