ABOUT The 50th law
"When the gangsta rapper met the self-help guru." -The Guardian. London.
According to Greene, 50 Cent is an example of what Machiavelli called a New Prince, a leader who emerges in a time of chaos or turmoil and rewrites the rules. According to 50 Cent, Greene’s books describe the laws and strategies used by hustlers on the street, even if they might not know the “technical terms” for what they were doing.
Overview
In The 50th Law, hip hop icon 50 Cent (Curtis Jackson) collaborates with Robert Greene, author of The 48 Laws of Power, to create a guide for success rooted in the principle of fearing nothing. Drawing from 50 Cent’s experiences, both in the streets and the boardroom, as he rose to fame with his album Get Rich or Die Tryin, the book shares inspiring stories of overcoming adversity. It offers valuable lessons for entrepreneurs and anyone intrigued by Curtis Jackson’s remarkable journey.
