50 Cent chats to ilikemusic.com
ILM: Thinking about that lifestyle you wanted and then listening to this interview when you're saying things like, 'Bono introduced me', do you ever think five or six years ago this would've been just fairytale?
50 Cent: How about three years ago?! I always felt like I would be successful at some point. Actually I spent more time being the only person to feel like I would be successful, than have anyone else believe in it. I can drift off, like I'm a dreamer, but it's changed. I used to be a dreamer, now I envision things, because I take steps towards my dreams becoming true immediately after assessing the situation.
So I looked at music, and I went towards songwriting with Jam Master Jay, I saw an opportunity and I jumped in. He told me some of the things he wanted to do with his record company in the future, and, at the time I appeared to be…on the outside I looked like an established artist, because I had everything that I acquired from the street, like the Mercedes Benz, jewellery and nice clothes and stuff. But I lost it during the time period of me working with Jam Master Jay. Because I stopped everything that I was doing, because my son's mum was pregnant, my priorities changed. I couldn't accept the repercussions to my actions anymore at that point, because if I wasn't physically wasn't available to take care of him nobody else would. Me being an artist is on the music front came from my son actually. He was motivation to go in a different direction. Overall Jam Master Jay liked what I said in rhymes, but I was doing it and it wasn't in song format. I didn't know how to count bars, so he'd stay beating that over my head saying, write the chorus, and that conditioned me differently.

Jun: ilikemusic because... music can convey a mood, enhance a mood or change a mood. Music can be used to inspire and the artform is simple yet complicated. It's fun to listen to and even more fun to create and perform. It speaks when just a simple word can't. It's a blessing!!
