(I messed up sayin that 50 filed that restraining order... his dj/engineer filed it, and he wasn’t a street guy. MY BAD lol) G-G-G-G Unit! What's your favorite 50 Cent song?
candy shop... dont judge me lol
window shoppa!
Hustlers ambition
God gave me style the hook is perfect
True Loyalty
*Notice how the title say "The rise of 50" but doest go the rise AND fall?? Thats cause this guy is still winning! A true legend*
🐐
THE BOY
Yup ! Monumental Rap career, Successful businessman, and Power is on what Season now?🤔.
midway through ur comment, it went in the complete opposite direction I was expecting. Hahah
@@_birdie of course 😅😅 Fitty never loses! A true legend
I met 50 twice. He signed my Guess Who’s Back vinyl & held my son when he was 2 & took pictures with him. Most humblest public figure ever. My childhood hero. 🐐 Good shit Aaron 🫡
You’re a lucky man bro 👌 cheers for sharing 50 the 🐐
G@yest thing I've ever heard in my life. You should be embarrassed to put this on the internet.
Working at the airport I met 50 a few times. He’s very cool, he will converse with you and even shake your hand. Very humble guy. This one time Ja Rule came an hour before 50 did. When I seen 50 I said yo “Fif just seen your boy Ja. Why you still got that man running”. Had 50 laughing. Great video by the way
@@ryanscholes463 got it on discogs back in 2016
50 cent change for the better, he knew you can’t be too tough for this rap thing, business man at best
I knew 50 was a major troll but I had no idea he was THAT funny 😂😂 impressive how he managed to balance the super serious gangster persona with the comedic funny shit.
His early diss tracks had me choking laughing 😂
What 50 killed people on the end of his track
😊😊😊😊😂😂😂😂
Great man❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊
@@travtagonist3no Diddy 😭
This long ass video put 50’s career in perspective with what the world was during that time. This is definitely a legendary video. Props to you my dude

@@tommiedixon7682wtf
I've seen a lot of 50 documentaries/beef videos but this is by far the best ive ever seen. Excellent work.
have you seen his short movie “before i self destruct”
For me actually hearing n learning the dudes name that pulled trigger 9xs. Honestly all of this? I'm very interested in the "ghetto Quran"
Facts, ive seen em all, this one has footage no other has, and everything is ordered perfectly.
Yall worried about rappers and wyte catholic priest victimizing little WyteBoys and never did a day in jail for it 😂
Yes!
I don't really have the best attention span nor am I a fan of 50 or rap in general but I sat there for 3 hours straight and it's credit to your research, delivery, explaining main characters,side characters, plot's and twists..... you really have a gift of story telling so thank you for one of the best 3hours I've had in a while 😉 lol.
Yoooooo thank u so so much!!!

@@user-fk7dx1sk2l yes, amazing video,I agree with you ❤️.
@@itsAaronSpeaking Yeah you got me too I don't listen to all that gangster rap shit..😂
😔😔😔
50 Cent was HUGE in 2002-2003, it was unreal how crazy popular it was. Him and DMX collided at the peak of each other's fame on same track, and I still remember 50 and DMX - Shot Down on DMX's Grand Champ album It was such a collision of monsters
Bruh he was huge longer than a year wtf
😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
@@desmondcrowley4499 Peak didn't happen until 2002.
@@righteousone8454 did he peak for more than a year or na?
not really but he was very popular after his peak@@desmondcrowley4499
Bro…. This documentary was BRILLIANT… I sacrificed 3.5 hours of sleep but it was SO worth it… keep it up
Glad you enjoyed it lets gooo
Same boat here at 4:24am
I sacrificed a 3.5 of runtz 😂😂🦾
50 was set for life after the 1st album
50 was the man in them early 00'. Yayo's Loyalty is unreal dawg, definitely a true and real hommie.
If someone depends on you you can depend on they're loyalty
50 was social media before social media 😂💪🏾
if it wasn't, for fiddys vitamin water we would just have water, have had any vitamins, crazy a world with it or endless challenges azy
I still live in southside jamaica queens. Shout out to 50 man im proud to say im from the same hood as the legend himself.
bro the high pitched Tony Yayo got me Rollin🤣🤣, it sounds like Huey freeman from the boondocks
😭😭😭😭😭
The last of the true gangster rappers, an icon full of wisdom, street IQ and rap bars. He did it all. Legend!!
King Von
@@vonman1751 NO
@@vonman1751original comment was last true gangster rapper. Not rapper who also killed people. King Von and none of these new jits are true gangster, self snitching in every song/IG/Twitter post. Whole crews going down for 20-40 years.
@@paddyk9632 you don’t think 50s a killer?
@@903Skooba I didn’t say that….at all. I was pretty clear. All of these new jits are rappers who also killed people…but never kept it solid. Snitching on themself and others on twitter and IG. No authentic gangsters in the game anymore like 50 and his predecessors. To prove my point….you just advocated that 50’s a killer….which I would agree to. But can you name anyone he ever killed? 50 kept it 🤫 Von made it loud. They are not the same
Took me a few days but I was able to complete all 3 hours, Thank you and all the respects to you, brother
appeciate u brotha!!
The fact 50 really went to D block and they squashed the beef shows there was always respect between everyone I was a 50 hater for a long time during the Jada beef but 50 the smartest business man in hip hop by far
I am from Kenya, Africa. 50 was the rapper who made many millennials in Africa fall in love with hip-hop in the 2000s.
Ayyyy Kenya stand up
This is so true!
..the Eminem Show ..Devils Night ..Get Rich Or Die Trying and the Documentary were absolutely HUGE here in New Zealand ..never seen anything like it ..miss the days when music was exciting
Was astronomically Huge here in England too! Such an incredible era ❤
50’s verse on Nicki’s Beep Beep remix had me immediately going back to mixtape 50 it was nasty. Immediately needed a refresher on all the beef, and this was so well done, the clips are WILD and this was so well written 👌 You’ve done Wayne and Drake.. I hate to be that girl but I would love to see a Nicki Minaj video done by you to complete the young money trifecta 🙏 honestly a young money video would be so tight js 👀 I can’t wait to watch all your videos over the holiday break!! Thank you for the awesome content 🙏🫡🦄💖
A Nicki vid would be fire…. Also have the Beep beep remix on replay. Love them both
My man , this was one of the best music documentaries I've ever seen!...( And I'm a someone who is obsessed with documentaries ). You did your thing on this one homie!
Was locked up during his run Just got released after 28 years. 50 and Ems music got me through the time
Welcome back bruh bruh
Honestly I never watched 50 cent this much in my life. It helps you understand why he clowns people like he did. He is hilarious 😂. Good work putting this together
I remember 50s come up but never thought much of him or even listened to his music but decided to watch this whole thing and now I love him and will start listening to his music😂 better late then never. Thank you for putting this together it was so well done, now I'm gonna binge watch your vids.
Literally me right now searching for his music after watching
@@feraiivieYou guys will love his two "Sincerly Yours Southside" and "Forever King" mixtapes respectively.
50 changed the Rap game! Definitely a Legend In My Book!
Am i the only one who miss that era so much? Like everything was so good and cool, music, games, clothes and movies. I think now things has just gotten worse and doesnt have a soul like it was in the early 2000s
I’m so happy to be alive during that time no one will ever understand except for us how great of a time it was
50 truly was the biggest star in the world at the time. I'm from Portugal and everyone was rocking 50. Life was just better in general at the time.
this is easily one of the best documentaries of all time
🫡🫡🫡
50 Cent and Lil Wayne era, my high school years were the BEST!!!!!!!
I been a fan of 50 cent since day 1 ❤ thanks for doing this video it's means alot to us ❤️ the real ones 😊
I almost didn't watch this because i have seen so many 50 xent documentaries but damn dude!.....i have goosebumps you have an amazing gift! God bless 🙏✝️👑
Damn bro this is a masterpiece. I lived this whole time period & watched a bunch of 50 documentaries, but this one is netflix worthy
fr??? i appreciate that bro fr fr
NextFlix Vybes!!!!
It really shows who he is w/o clout 🍆🚴, bc he is a genius. But the only reason why they won't just give it to him, is bc he's a REALIFE gangsta, unlike Kanye. Not saying that Kanye isn't a genius, but the difference in backgrounds and approach, is just not accepted outloud
❤❤❤❤❤🎉😊
True😂😂😂😂
I am from New York and definitely a 50 Cent fan. I was at Jamaica Hospital working there when he was shot so I feel like his big auntie. I’m so freaking proud of him he’s dope period 🔥🔥🔥 and yes, I watched the whole 3+ hour documentary you guys did good pretty dope
I really appreciated this documentary! It literally took me on a journey of the past and how life was back in those times! 50 is a living legend! Super dope content here. Well done.
Back in those times? You act like we going back 200 years 😂😂 you wilding
😂😂😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥❤👑😘Ilove 50 cents
😂😂😂yes❤❤❤❤❤❤
25:00 It’s crazy to see LaLa interviewing 50 all the way back then!(yes that’s lala before the surgeries) and now 50 has put her in two different hit TV shows! That goes to show the loyalty 50 has to people he’s genuine with!
yo thats crazy ur right !!!
@@itsAaronSpeaking literally still watching this documentary man! This shit is giving me all the nostalgia in the world no other run was like 50’s in rap history!
appreciate you my guy!!! love
That’s Cus 50 a cancer ♋️ we loyalty by default
LALA looked crazy before them surgeries
This doc is 5 star my man! Wow!
😎😎😎
This was a great documentary. Idc how long it is..50 career has a long history. Keep up the very detailed work. Excellent job 👏🏾 👍🏾 👌🏾
This is hands down the best doc for 50 I’ve seen I was like 11-12 when this started proud to see 50 making power moves he’s a global name hard work
thank u fam
I been saying this for years. 50 Cent is the goat because everything he rapped he really lived. He could literally RAP & make the catchiest hooks ever. Smart business man. Made a ALL TIME #1 birthday song ever. Took over rap and TV. How is he not Top 3 ever?
TI is better
@@KenKaniff-dw4jwRespect to TI but he is not better than 50 😂
@BiIlDipperIy he really is a better rapper. Not businessman. It's really not comparable. Outside of get rich die tryin he barely has any good hits. Clickidy Clank the money goes into my piggy bank is corny as hell. Listen to Curtis album lyrics. There even worse. Like seriously breakdown his lyrics and compare to Urban Legend, Trap Muzik, King, Paper trail, and Ti vs TIP. Hell even Trouble man. Bro there's no discussion here on who's the better rapper. 50 not even close to anyone's top 10 rapper.
ALL G-UNIT FANS CAN APPRECIATE THIS 💫💫💫
GGGG Gunit
Facts
❤
Been binge watching for 2 days lol
facts
Honestly this was one of the best documentaries I've ever seen on a hip hop artist please keep up the good work!
So way back when no wonder I listened to Curtis music on repeat
I was always a 50 fan growing up but I missed out alot on what he was doing in the late 2000’s. He was on the internet acting a damn fool but as hilarious as it was He literally preceded all of the internet hip-hop antics and trolling that would follow once social media got bigger
Well done using the clips and doin the timeline letting the story tell itself. Props bruh.
I agree…I have not watch many documentaries like this one
Yall worried about rappers and wyte catholic priest victimizing little WyteBoys and never did a day in jail for it 😂
@@boepaynepill318 I AINT DOWN wit that and what that got to do with givin props to the doc on 50?
@@boepaynepill318What did that have anything to do with their comment or 50s documentary? pedophilia is disgusting and should be punished no matter the race.
I just realized 50 cent technically orchestrated 5 back to back multi-platinum albums in a row 6 if you count the documentary, not to mention releasing debut platinum albums for each original g-unit member. Talk about momentum utilization 50 was right because he capitalized on that wave.
This guy 50 was a FUCKING MENACE 😂😂😂😂 nah this Documentary was OD u snapped Brodie thank you for the awesome video 💪
Still is 😂
i love the pacing of this video, there’s no dead time but at the same time it’s not so fast paced i can’t pause it and come back when i have more free time, this is the proper way to create long form content on KZhead. Hats off to you, my bias for 50 aside
i also want to add i understand this is the type of video KZhead does not promote at all, so i really appreciate you taking the time to tell the story as accurate as posssible, and not rushing it
thats love bro!!! thats probably the hardest task to do, is keeping the viewers attention. so thank you
This is the best KZhead documentary I’ve ever come across that’s original content and not pasted from a large production. Great work. Wish I knew people. Guarantee there are people with deeeep pockets looking for someone like you
Thank u fam!!!!
Yall took up my whole Christmas day 2023. Watched this from late afternoon. Brought back memories. Respect ❤ 50 one of the greatest to ever do it.
One sitting, cleaned all my stuff tuned in. You dug DEEP on this one. Amazing working 💪
Awesome! Thank you!
I am 78 years old and I really respect when was listening to 50 Cent's record for a long time and he still here love peace and soul
thank you soo soo much for watching!
I agree with you
Rewatching in full like it never came out
50 is absolutely a GOAT. No debating. With that said, this here is probably the best documentary I have ever seen. Great, great, great job my guy!
After an hour of cleaning up . .I was like wtf am I listening too shits entertaining as hell good shit man I'ma follow n listen to other interviews/stories
Yo this might be the best documentary on 50 so much detail and just all around a quality video, truly a must watch for anyone that is a fan of 50 or rap music in general. 💯
love fam thank you!!!
I work from home and watched this ENTIRE video! The End made me tear up! Well DONE! I was a Model for 50Cent during the Karma Lloyd Banks era for GUnit Ladies. So proud to see all of 50's success. He was so well mannered and Respectful to all the models. It's so beautiful to see this dedication of his hard in this video. Keep up the great work! 🥰❣
Oh wow! Thats fire! Thank you love i tried fr 💪🏻🙏🏼

@@wintersantiago2274bro it’s not that serious… chill lol
It took me days to complete this video and ima give you your flowers. This work is epic, it make me to like 50 cent more. He’s such a smart guy. I also attended the tour and yes, it was historic in Seattle.
This was better than a lot of the documentaries they put out by big studios…you really put in the work my guy…good shit
Tha whole Get Rich Or Die Tryin has all my favorite tracks on it. Get Rich Or Die Tryin was n is his best album of all time, 50 did his thang on nat whole album 💯.
One thing that always bugs me about the stabbing Incident was that ppl said 50 got the restraining order when it was actually the dj/ engineer who was just there to do his jib and got caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. The guy was just a regular dude, not in the streets so to say, he ended up getting hit as well and filed the restraining order.
one of the most detailed and enjoyable documentaries I have ever watched on anything or anyone on youtube or even legit television stations..... my guy im virtually giving you some flowers for this one. keep doing it... you see that even a 3.5 hour video got 6.4 million view as of this writing..... and i watched every minute of it and parts of it over and over again... the thing i love is that you included so much music that i had forgotten about or had never heard and it was like cliff notes of one of my favorite artist.... i would strongly encourage you to do this with future videos because it gives people like me a reason to come back and find those songs in your video which gives you a lot more views and view times.. its a really good idea.
You did a great job on this bruh. I remember everything like yesterday Thanks !
This was one of the longest videos I think I have ever watched. Absolutely the BEST documentary. Period. Great job!! FYI I watched 85 % of it first night went to bed at 1am. Watched the rest today after work! I would compare all your time and research you did on this to the same tenacity that 50 puts into his ventures.
Wow, thank you!
Listen. I am a true gunit warrior and I felt you on majority of what you said sh*t damn near everything. I absolutely appreciate this documentary and I respect that you dived in deep. Your covered all areas all angles left no crumbs and yes I had the gunit sneakers and clothes in middle school lol. Yoooo shout out to you this was so dope all 3 hours thank you! QNS NY Signed -Leo.S 💋
Ayyyyy thank u so much! I tried my best on this one for sure. I appreciate you
Great rapper🎉❤❤❤😊
Man you did a great job on this and I looked at the hole thing in one run
I love you for making this Sir you did it the best. Very interesting and you kept me hooked 🎉.
50 was always starting beef with people for doing the same thing he did. Constantly in his feelings. Just glad he learned how to keep it in the studio and off the streets
I watched this in one sitting. Well, I did use the bathroom twice. Absolutely GREAT video. I miss the old 50. I miss the 90s and early 2000s music. I miss the funny rap beefs where rappers still came out with their lives. Music is not the same anymore. It sucks, but I'm glad we have creative ppl like you to bring back these awesome memories. 50 will FOREVER be the rapper that won ALL beefs 💯
Some are cryring for the Lox and gayme 😂
Y u felt the need to copy this comment is weird 😂

You came with the receipts and time stamps. This documentary is amazing
Yayo is def one of hiphops greatest behind the scenes story teller😂😂😂
Good work. I know this took mad long to put together! Just saw 50 for the final lap tour two days ago. I’m 38 & been a huge 50/G-Unit fan since 2002 so to be able to approach 40, still heavily playing 50 from mix tapes to new shit & see him on stage again was surreal. Like the 4th time seeing him & it’s always like the first time.
I never thought I’d sit through a 3plus hour video but I loved every minute of it. 50 is a big part of my childhood so thanks
thank u fam!!! thats love
Am from another country, culture but was in tune to hip hop at the peak of 50 reign but never truly got into it. But this documentary taught me so much I didn’t know or understood. Great research and great documentary
300 bars and running is a straight up classic forever! Can’t believe you skipped over that which imo is one of the best diss tracks ever.
Excellent work man. I‘ve been a big 50 fan for a hot minute and I‘ll be going to one of his shows in Germany. Looking forward to it! Seen my GOAT Eminem twice in the past 6 years so getting to see my 2 favourite rappers perform live in my lifetime is awesome.
Be safe bro & enjoy the show 🙌🏾❗️
Saw them both in 2003.
💯. Ems also my goat I hope I can see Em and 50 least once in my lifetime! Their music is timeless. Hope you have/had an amazing time ❤
Ihave fun Ilove eminem work❤❤❤❤❤😊🎉dope
1:35:22 I think many Americans don’t realise how big 50 got globally. He has said that himself in interviews but I guess most dismiss it as typical boastful rapper talk. “In da club” was the first foreign rap song I heard as a kid growing up in Greece. They were even playing that in our elementary school parties.
This made me smile bro.. thanks. Took me back
The beginning going through so many 50 and G unit songs just showed how many hits they had
This was a 5 🌟 documentary- Probably the best doc I've ever watched you've did your thing on thing on this bro great job and much more success 🎉💯👍
😎😎😎thank u so much joseph
Big fifty fan. Big. Especially his books. A man with his drive and mind? His growth ? Dangerous. “get your refund mf I ain’t dead”. Yea… fifty he a grimy one but now he has interviews on msnbc and is one of the most enjoyable charming smartest people I’ve heard.
That game he had sounds like it had a dope soundtrack.☝🏿👑
I went through the journey with 50 Cent and G-Unit when they came out.
Love seeing Diverse Mentality get props. Good amount of details in this, plus it’s told in a natural way. You laugh and add genuine feelings and emotions!
Hats off to you Aaron, the greatest video I've seen in this platform. As a G-Unithead myself can't thank you enough for this documentary. 2050 and beyond.
My guy! Thats love! thank you!
This is one of the best and most detailed hip-hop docs I have ever seen, good job bro 👍🏽
Man I loved this documentary. You did an excellent job and you didn’t rush the story. Man you should send this to G-Unit studios…might get close to 50 to work with him. You never know with this social media
This was dope bruh.. You have a real talent in this documentary game.

Bruh, you are on your way. I watched this in one seating and wasn’t bored once. Good editing, good commentary, great content. Truly enjoyed it!
I loved this so much! It’s funny how I just saw him in Dallas last week for the final lap tour. It was really a great time. I’ve always been interested in his story and loved his audio book.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I was there too and fell in love 😂
This was a great watch from start to finish. I know this was hard work, but you executed it so well. Thank you.
Wayne and young money took over right after this you gotta do them next Aaron this doc was fire by the way.
50 Cent is an incredible artist his raw talent surprised everybody when he first came out just like DMX the industry, and the fans weren’t ready for them and it’s that raw Street creativity and hustle that made them big 🐐s
Man this is the dopest 50 cent documentary i have come across big up 👆 as 50 fan i really did enjoy this
This is a hell of a documentary bro your on another level
🫶🏼🔥💪🏻
You put in a whole lotta work im surprised we didn't see 50 being born too
this has so much deatail.. well done
The massacre was a classic dawg this album made me love this dude my favorite album of all time
hella underrated too
What an incredible & detailed documentary 💯🙌🏾🔥 You’re the best KZheadr with these docs. 50 is definitely a Legend, wish they’d remaster 50 Cent Bulletproof for the next Gen consoles 💯❗️
