The is very good movie's with 50 Cent playing and dealer about street and he made it out of the if you have your Mind Positive Thing In this life so he stay with Singing.
This is a movie that somebody made to get rich off of 50 cent. This movie was horrible!!! Save your money and do not buy this. I am a die hard 50 cent fan and this was terrible. Just another scam to make money off a great entertainer!!!
All the haters need to listen here. 50 and his crew loved this dope. If any of you guys in the sticks knew about hip hop you would have noticed that the g-unit music video "My Buddy" used a very similar animation and video style. THIS IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. Both that music vid and this movie reflect the real 50 Cent style. Love it or hate it - its real and its the truth. Thats why this style is now being used in all the new 50 videos as well as Eminem in his Mosh video.
All you haters need to break out of ya Top 40 mindset and dig the independent vibe and authentic flava.
So you girls quit ya namecallin and keep dreaming that you know sumtin bout flicks...cuz you DONT.
The reality is this flick has true 50 Cent FLAVOR. Animations are in the same style as g-unit and also same style as Eminem used in the political music video MOSH. Plenty of never before seen videos with 50, his gramps, and alot of other playas. Dig it.
The soundtrack is all independent artists - which I happen to think is cool since thats the way fiddy made it - on the streets. I watched this twice cuz I like it so much. I am a successful music producer in Detroit, I having worked with Em and plenty of other rappers, and I'm telling you some of artists on this movie are about to blow up.
Overall these filmmakers made a pretty good movie - even though its obviously independent and not big budget. It is an interesting and compelling documentary about life on the streets and how fiddy made it. There is alot of cool information (some stuff even I had never heard) - and like I said, the music and animations are fresh.
I give this movie the following ratings (scale of 1 to 5):

This movie tells you the real story about how Curtis Jackson made it. It has the only interview I have ever seen with 50 Cent's grandfather talking about 50 when he was a kid.
The animations are pretty cool and the music is fresh. The filmmakers combined a variety of different styles (animation, video, graphics, etc) to make a unique documentary.
This is NOT a big-budget hollywood story cuz it aint suppossed to be that. If you want that go see Get Rich or Die Tryin and get the hollywood version that doesnt even match reality. This dvd is the REAL story - not some fluffy actor version. Alot of people on here are talking trash about the quality, etc. But the whole point of this dvd is to tell the gritty story from the streets - not some studio suit's version. Its FRESH. Get it.

This is a great movie. The filmmakers combine animations, interviews, and 50 Cent concert performance footage to tell the real story of how 50 blew up. The graphics are so cool and every part of his life is covered. And the whole movie is told from 50s point of view. Also, the music in this dvd is some of the hottest new stuff out there. Definitely a must have dvd if you dig 50 or Dr. Dre.
Besides the movie, they put in about twenty different bonus chapters like 3D animations, freestyle rapping, and 50 doing a photo shoot with G Unit.
This dvd has alot of cool stuff about 50 that didnt even get shown in his movie. Get this dvd for the whole story.
