Tuesday, January 2, 2007
By: Kenny Rodriguez


50 CentAs if albums, movies, and vitamin water weren’t enough – 50 Cent has launched a joint venture with MTV/Pocket Books for his own publishing imprint, G-Unit Books.

Three fiction novels are already set for release later this month: “Death Before Dishonor” by Nikki Turner, “Baby Brother” by Noire, and “The Ski Mask Way” by K. Elliot.

All three fictional books are touted as “gritty and true-to-life” urban novellas.

Real thugs don't read.

Way to go..put out some phucking books. Read something besides a phucking king mag, or xxl. Real thugs dont read...lmao. Its time for muthaphuckas to take up a new character......that thug/hustler role doesnt look fly when you reach adulthood. Like jeezy says "better learn to be the star....cause the villian gets wrote out the script".....smh.

I'm no big 50 fan, but at the same time, i do buy his albums. As far as i see it, he's capitalizing off his run in the spotlight. From a business perspective, you can't blame the man for that. And, if you can get a few heads to read...not a bad thing.
Posted by Problems
I wonder what the quality of these books will be like.... But seriously, no thugs read. And white kids in the 'burbs like myself are spending time reading textbooks in college. I don't think these will sell, but 50 has got everything else to sell (music, shoes/clothing, water).

I hated 50 cent b4 but now he deserve little respect from me because he is a smart man who dont waste his time on poppin crystal and threw his money away at the hamptons.he is getting richer and richer everyday and i think all rappers out there should do the same thing.

I'm writing a book currently, i hope to finish it within the next month. I would like to get it published. The only way i can describe it is i think it is what you would get if stephan king and quentin tarantino wrote a book together. It's about a guy who is more misfortunate than most, and eventually snaps.
Posted by psycho sam
Its apparent people still want to hate on 50. Can you please get over it. The g-unit gives away more money than you will ever see in your whole entire life. Lets see what your favorite rap artist has going for him or herself. Smart people invest their money so they wont go broke.

50 is just being a marketing ho like jay-z. They both have clothing lines, but you can't compare a video game, vitamin water, movie and now books to jay's beer comercials. They do have 1 thing in common they both have put out some wack albums. 50 is trying to hard and he just plain wack

Why are the're so many haters this is about books not the rap game. I was fortunate enough to give 50 my book in his hand and felt the chemisrty of us working together. I write street action novels, but not about gangsters because that is not the only thing going on in the streets. When i handed it to him he smiled like that might be another million in my pocket. This is money when the rap game is over for him and once all ya'll haters forget about downing him he will still be making money special off of my book, don't no how i got back stage but it was destiny. I felt god at that very moment something much higher than what you people are talikg about. This brought tears to my eyes and pride in my work now i'll just wait. If god got me trough all the gaurds at the concert then god has blessed me and now that he has my novel in his hand i can be happy for the talent that has been givin to me. Their is no doubt that it was ment for him to read it that's on a writters point of veiw, a whole nother world you people are not writters so you don't need to coment on this page save it for the haters page. Books turn into movies that you all pay to see so if your paying to see, hear or read the novels he will put out why down him after. When all he is doing is entertaining you thugs, ya'll just need something to talk about that's all. Look out of non-readers my books make it seem like your not reading at all. P.s. Hope 50 is reading this!!!....

Hey 50cent my hero i like the g-unit i'm 18 i come to the g-unit
Posted by 50 cent the hero
I have all 50 cent's caps :d
Posted by 50 cent the hero
actually i'm a unpublished author who is trying to get into the writing game. I've just been released from jail recently. I have a book that's been finished since september 2000. The reason i want to become a g-unit author is because there is so much garbage that's being portrayed in a lot of novels being published that are without meaning. I believe that when you talk about or portray the hood you should also give meaning on something everyone can relate to as well as learn from. My book is called 'a hustler,'a playa,'a man'. The title basically speaks for itself. I think i definitely would be an asset to the g-unit family. If interested get at me at kimabear9@yahoo

I wish to auction the right to publish my manuscript "back off....please" can your company give me any pointers in the right direction? karma110@juno
Posted by karma
To be honest with you, i had no interest in 50 cent because i thought that he was phony and ridiculous. Then i read "the diamond district" and i have to admit this is a part of the empire that i like. I now see that even though the rapping and the gangsta thing that he has going on is just a part of his empire and i am glad that i found this piece because i see 50 cent in a different light.
