50 Cent Piece

Keith Spera of The Times-Picayune profiled 50 Cent calling him “the latest hip-hop Horatio Alger.” Spera, talking about the rapper’s ‘The New Breed’ DVD added, “50 Cent brings the real deal. In a scene taped in his old neighborhood, he and his grandfather cackle about the time 50 Cent eluded police on his motorcycle. His grandfather particularly relishes the tale. ‘Now you see where I get it from,’ 50 says to the camera.”
