50 Cent chats to ilikemusic.com

Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, one of the biggest and most popular stars in hip-hop, is the charismatic driving force behind Get Rich or Die Tryin', a hard-hitting drama directed by six-time Oscar® nominee Jim Sheridan about an orphaned street kid who makes his mark in the drug trade but finally dares to leave the violence behind and become the rap artist he was meant to be.

I Like Music caught up with Fif to chat about the movie "loosely" based on his life, Get Rich Or Die Tryin', find out what joke Eminem played on him before going on set and discuss what led him to music in the first place. No doubt Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson is a tough cookie (watch the film!) but we found 'Fif' to be incredibly nice, warm, chilled out and… well, a gentleman ex-gangster.

ILM: So, what do you think of London?

50 Cent: I make sure I end my tours here. When I come to the UK, the last show is usually in London. When I first came here it was exciting for me because it had so much energy, it was starting here, because the music was just a little bit behind, because they didn't release simultaneously, so when I got here it was better, because it was less on me when I came. So in my head my reference to London has always been better than the US. Because, the energy just went bananas, and the rollercoaster started without me for a second.
