Crime does pay.
We can use one of the most successful musicians in modern music as an example, rapper 50 cent. I choose to use him because I’m not a big fan of his so we cant sense no type of favouritism.
He's a man of the streets, intimately familiar with its codes and its violence, but still, 50 cent aka Curtis Jackson, an incredibly intelligent and deliberate man, holds himself with a regal air as if above the pettiness which surrounds him. Couple his true-life hardship with his knack for addictive, syrupy hooks, it's clear that 50 has exactly what it takes to ride down the road to riches and diamond rings. 50 is real, so he does real things. Before he hit fame, he was a juvenile, born into a notorious area for drugs known as Queens. Raised without a father, 50's mother was found dead before he hit his teens. 50's mother was 15 when he was born. She was a local drug dealer and was murdered in mysterious circumstances when he was just 8-years-old. The orphaned youth was taken in by his grandparents, who provided for him. But his desire for things would drive him to hit the streets and start hustling for money illegally. The infamous New York Avenue, now known as Guy R. Brewer Blvd is where you could find him with his trousers to his knees most probably making money illegitimately. By the age of 12, he was on the streets selling crack. "Life is cheap in those places," he says. "You can have someone killed for $5,000." He amassed a small fortune.
