50 Cent chats to ilikemusic.com
ILM: Did you insist in anything that had to be in the film, rather than it being 8 Mile with 50 Cent.?
50 Cent: See, Em's 8 Mile story shows you the battle rap aspect. But I've never explored that, because I was looking at the portion of music that generates finances when I initially came into it. For me, I was choosing to write music for a living as the thing that would give me the lifestyle that I would like: travel, I'd get the chance to see the world, meet so many different people and things. And that is what attracted me to music. I always enjoyed it. My friends early on they would have turntables, buy the single, the 12", have the instruments and the acapella, and we'd create our own lyrics to the music. And just overall, when I looked at the opportunity to capture my actual experience, I felt like this would be the highest level that I would be able to make an example of my experiences. And if there was something to judge me on, I'd rather them judge it based on the film, as the biggest example of my experience, period.
