When I read this it made me squint in disbelief. Superstar rapper 50 Cent aka Curtis Jackson has been working with Robert Green to create a new book based on Robert’s work.
For those of you unfamiliar with Robert Greene he wrote the original and classic book The 48 Laws Of Power. It became a best seller, and gained popularity in the rap community / “on the street”. So now 50 Cent has teamed up with Robert to make The 50th Law
When I first heard about this I laughed and scoffed at the idea of 50 Cent writing such a book, but after a little contemplation i think its highly commendable. There is no doubt that 50 Cent has made a success of himself, he has had 2 multi platinum selling albums, started his own record label, and is now branching into movies, and… obviously writing books 🙂
He 50 Cent can use his influence over the kids in the types of neighbourhoods he grew up in and get them interested in making a success of their lives and away from the gang culture, then it can only be a good thing.
I have not read the book, but if you have please leave a comment below, I would love to hear what people have made of it, Amazon currently does not have any reviews.
p.s. you can also see Robert Greene’s original work here: The 48 Laws of Power
