Story5 out of 5 stars 1,053
In his early 20s, Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent, rose to the heights of fame and power in the cutthroat music business. A decade ago, the multi-platinum selling rap artist decided to pivot. His ability to adapt to change was demonstrated when he became the executive producer and star of Power, a high-octane, gripping crime drama centered around a drug kingpin's family. The series quickly became "appointment" television, leading to Jackson inking a four-year, $150 million contract with the Starz network - the most lucrative deal in premium cable history.

Hussle was determined to win the race to success on his own terms, and he wanted to see his whole community in the winner’s circle with him.

In the early 1990s, Demetrius "Big Meech" Flenory and his brother, Terry "Southwest T", rose up from the slums of Detroit to build one of the largest cocaine empires in American history: the Black Mafia Family. They socialized with music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, did business with New York's king of bling Jacob "The Jeweler" Arabo, and built allegiances with rap superstars Young Jeezy and Fabolous. Yet even as BMF was attracting celebrity attention, its crew members struck fear in a city.

From his perspective in Renaissance Italy, Machiavelli's aim in this classic work was to resolve conflict with the ruling prince, Lorenzo de Medici. Machiavelli based his insights on the way people really are rather than an ideal of how they should be. This is the world's most famous master plan for seizing and holding power. Astonishing in its candor The Prince even today remains a disturbingly realistic and prophetic work on what it takes to be a prince, a king, or a president.

Middle age white guys need to read this book!
I’m a 40’s suburban white guy. I have told all my friends to read this book and they are turned off by the “gangsta rapper” and such. Let me say this book is awesome. Every lesson in it applies to anyone wanting greater success. I’m so glad I read this book as I grow as a person I can draw on this wisdom and the historical anecdotes. I fully plan on listening to this again ASAP.

I'm a pretty big fan of 50 Cent and I love the story of life struggle that is written in this book .the eye-opening events, all the way down to the rise to fame pretty amazing story! but I think it would have been better if 50 read the book instead of Robert Greene, I think it would have given it and more edgier sound which is what 50 is known for. and who better to tell the story than the man himself

Boring and repetitive
very repetitive, some sentences are even repeaded word for word.
just overall boring. green's tone doesn't captivate me in this book for some reason. very monotone (listened to some of his other books and some where better.)
not a book I'll recommend based on my experience
couldn't finish it either, would lose interest every time.
it happens.

Useful and delightfully contrarian
This book is a treasure trove of powerful insights and poignant advice. I appreciated and enjoyed it from start to finish. As a Christian, I did not agree with every point, but I do find the perspective refreshing and informative. Evaluated with active and critical thinking, I think this book would be a benefit to anyone reading it.

A solid and well thought out book.
Don't be fooled by the rapper/gangster appearance of 50 Cent. He is a very intelligent man. This is a book that does not glorify the unfavorable acts in 50's life but takes an objective stance on the events of his life. The book loosely follows 50's rise to success but mainly focuses on other people from throughout history that have succeeded despite naysayers; Their techniques that Curtis applied and the philosophy behind being fearless yet smart.
Robert Greene does most of the writing in this piece but not without a significant amount of input from Curtis. Input that is well thought out and well versed. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I learned from this book that is packed with psychology and words of wisdom. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to try a new approach to their business strategy and or life in general. I can honestly say that by trying some of the techniques in this book I have seen a significant positive change in my dealings with people both in business and everyday life.

Contradictions Galore
The overall theme of the book is good - be fearless. Don't complain about your current situation, accept reality completely and do everything in your power to move forward. Very empowering. I have no issues with the overall central theme.
Where I take exception is when author uses random events from history to bolster a particular point of view. And then uses another random event from history to bolster a contradictory point of view.
He extols the virtue of Napoleon Bonaparte.
The following are literal quotes form the book:
"Napoleon Bonaparte represents a classic fearless type."
"Your goal is to follow the path of Napoleon."
"There are no Alps and no obstacles that can stand in the way of a person without fears."
Ok. I get it. Be bold and fearless like Napleon.
But then, very shortly he cautions against being too rigid:
"A leader can come to power through acts of boldness, but when the times shift and require something more cautious, he generally will continue with his bold approach. He is not strong enough to adapt; he is a prisoner of his fixed nature. What raised him above others then becomes the source of his downfall."
Be bold and fearless. Except when doing so is not such a good idea!

Was looking for another "Art of" or "Laws" book when I came across this. I'm not a huge 50 Cent fan but decided to give The 50th Law a shot out of curiosity and I'm very glad I did. It feels like a well narrated/designed 48 Laws + Art of Seduction + (your favorite business book) + (your favorite motivational book).
One of my favorite aspects of this book is that between all the business, you will find that the 50th Law is full of Buddhist teachings on the nature of suffering, conquering negativity and the cultivation of a self-aware objective mindset.

What an Interesting Concept
What did you love best about The 50th Law?
This book was unexpectedly deep. The last chapter has to do with confronting our own mortality. This book aimed to unlock fears we all have and allow us to unleash our success by getting rid of them.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The 50th Law?
Did I mention this book is deep. It's not something you can ingest in 1 or 2 days. This will take a while to sink in and be digested.
Did 50 Cent and Robert Greene do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
Ha! Well, um, yes. It was very easy to differentiate Robert Greene from Curtis Jackson.
What insight do you think you’ll apply from The 50th Law?
I really should spend time thinking about life, death, and all the things I need to do now and now wait until it's too late. What is the worst that could happen? What IF I lost it all, and had to get it back? Would I work even harder if I had nothing to lose?
Any additional comments?
I was expecting this to be more about 50 Cent. This book is NOT really about 50 cent. He makes a few cameo appearances here and there, but basically it's only tangentially related to him.

Makes 'The Secret' seem like a fairytale
If you could sum up The 50th Law in three words, what would they be?
Sublime
Evidence based
Manditory
What was one of the most memorable moments of The 50th Law?
The turning point for me was something that I am currently benefiting from. The POWER OF PROCESS. One quote that I remember roughly said, "The cause of all man's problems are due to his inability to sit alone, in a room, for many hours." This "druge-work" is a powerful duty we all have in anything that we may be trying to get better at. It is these long a repetitive tasks that makes us sharpen our sword for wielding in a world full of unmasterful types. You will stick out if you stick to it!!
Have you listened to any of 50 Cent and Robert Greene ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No I haven't yet.. I plan on listening to this over and over and then moving on to Robert's previous work on the 48 Laws of Power. I'm not sure if the book or the audio will be better for that though.
What insight do you think you’ll apply from The 50th Law?
This is not merely a take this or that and try and apply it. It is a feet first deep end dive to the truth of what we really want. This is OWNERSHIP! Salvery seems so taboo but it is real even today! We are decided for without thinking from businesses left and right and we can not eve make our own decisions! WE ARE UNTRAINED in our confidence of self relience. Like a cat that will die in the wild if he does not grow up there. Are we living?..Or are we just merely surviving?
Any additional comments?
You must change your mind before you can change your actions. This is not pop-tarts folks. This is wild bison meat you just killed yesterday. Learn to provide for yourself! Wake up or die.

Inspiring and thought provoking
As a fan of hip hop and the culture as well as being someone who was brought up with very little in resources and support,i really related to this book. I found it to be great for anyone who wants to adopt a new mindset of personal responsibility and fearlessness in all areas and circumstances whether good or bad. The 50th Law has given me a new perspective on how i deal with all situations, and has gotten me in touch with what is really important to me. The pursuit of greatness.

one of my favorite audibles/books of all time
This book is absolutely amazing. Remove fear from your life and live in the fullest manner possible. Not exactly a how to guide for removing all of this excess fear but the examples are incredible in typical Robert Greene fashion.

Unexpected
This book took me totally by surprise...I was looking to get a 'POWER' book, and boy did I! 50 cent is cooler than I could have ever imagined, from his upbringing to where he is now has been a carefully plotted course, which in retrospect is evident—Impressive...another gem from the master(s) of power!

Stop letting authors read their books!
While I really liked Robert Greene's older books on Audible this one was just a horrible listen. When authors read their own works it's almost always monotonous and slow. Neil Gaiman is about the only exception to the rule. So this book was a terrible listen and I couldn't get through it. Even though the book itself was fairly good and I'll probably get it on my Kindle instead I have to say skip it on Audible and buy the actual book instead.

Wise and Real
Nothing was too much, or not enough. Robert Greene as usual did a fantastic job. And the collaboration with 50 Cent brung something really unique to it. A must have.
