More quotes by Curtis Jackson
Get into the music business. This is the business that you have absolutely no requirements. You listen to music, you need no college degree.
Curtis Jackson
I don't need to get any validation by someone else who sits next to me in first class. If you think a seat in first class makes you a star, then you're not one.
Curtis Jackson
Your fears are a kind of prison that confines you within a limited range of action. The less you fear, the more power you will have and the more fully you will live.
Curtis Jackson
Because hip-hop has no requirements, you deal with people that have the least intelligence on the planet. Some of the people that compare themselves to me, compare themselves to me because they rap and I rap. They can't even read the contracts that they sign to be a rapper, to do the deal.
Curtis Jackson
I make music cuz it's almost like I can escape everything I was involved in. All I gotta do is make music. I don't do nothin but make music.
Curtis Jackson
What I want to be is the best bad guy you've ever seen.
Curtis Jackson
When I put out my first mixtape, '50 Cent is the Future,' it was the first tape where an artist did the entire tape in song format.
Curtis Jackson
You can do all them push-ups to pump up your chest, I got a 12 gauge Mossberg to pump up your chest, Have you gasping for air after that shell hit your vest. Fear me like you fear God, 'cause I bring death.
Curtis Jackson
If I wrote you a love letter, would you write back?
Curtis Jackson
I need you to pray for me I need you to care for me. I need you to want me to win. I need to know where I'm heading, because I know where I've been.
Curtis Jackson
I think either you're creative or you're not. In general, I don't think you need to be in pain to actually be creative unless you're writing love songs. Then you might need to have some ups and downs within your emotions to start to capture that.
Curtis Jackson
I was surrounded by too many people who felt that they had a strong sense of entitlement. That I owed them something.
Curtis Jackson
When you get in a point when you generate finances in a circle of people they gonna treat you different. They gonna treat you like as if you're gonna bring the money. You're the cash cow.
Curtis Jackson
When I reached the top in business, I adjusted to my new position – I became bolder and crazier than before. And I listened even less to people who tried to slow me down.
Curtis Jackson
Death is a large form of entertainment, probably the largest. Watching death in different ways is entertaining for us, whether it's a high-speed chase and a guy grabs a helicopter and flies away. We know the reality of it is that he wouldn't be physically able to hold onto that helicopter and fall to his death. But it's entertaining to watch.
Curtis Jackson
My grandparents went through a bad experience themselves they invested money in a church and got burned - the pastor had his own agenda - and my grandfather lost interest in the church after that. That was when I had the option to not go. 'Grandpa ain't going I'm gonna stay with Grandpa.'
Curtis Jackson
I think Sean Parker damaged the music business with Napster.
Curtis Jackson
I never had working papers. I never had a job. I sold crack until I got in the music, so this is the best thing that happened to me and I do it excessively.
Curtis Jackson
I believe people have a little more interest in reading what I'm saying or hearing me speak because they know I ain't gonna sugarcoat it. Because I give them the truth.
Curtis Jackson
When I have conversations with people, for some strange reason they think I'm gonna die and they're not. But you know what? Death means nothing to me.
Curtis Jackson
