Here are just some of the quotes from Curtis' interview with the magazine..
It's Fifty, not Fiddy.
My mom chose the lifestyle because she didn't choose welfare. Every time I seen her, it felt like Christmas. Everything that was nice in my life was gone when she left, and the only people I saw that had nice things were people from the lifestyle. And they'd look at me and go, Why you look like that? Why your shoes run-down?
If I'd had a choice, I would've been a college kid. I would've majored in business.
Sometimes you do need to convince yourself through convincing others.
I never saw drug use as a good option. I'd rather have an additional ten dollars than smoke. It wasn't a decision to not smoke weed. It was a decision to hustle. It was a business decision.
There's people who are considered intelligent who are idiots.
People who raise their hands deserve to be ahead of people who don't.
Money is freedom. Money is a private plane. Money is no metal detection.
Don't wait for them to tell you. Tell them.
The first time I felt rich was when I had $80,000 inside my house. I saw it as a means to more money.
When I got shot, it was a $5,000 exchange. The price of a life is cheap.
Obama takes away the excuses.
The best businessmen in the world make a bad deal sometimes. And it's not usually in a boardroom. Most of them marry the wrong woman. That business deal is the worst business deal of all.
All the women have contributed to my success. Every one.
My son is more important to me than I am to him.
Always have bail money.
Curtis Jackson. I identify with the name. When I look in the mirror, I see Curtis.
Am I an honest man? I'm a selectively honest man.
Am I being honest right now? Yeah. Most people would answer that question with a yes. Even the liars.
Jay-Z is as politically correct as some of the politicians. He's safe. There's points when you're acquiring financing, you make adjustments. He's made those adjustments. It's his choice. For me, it's not a necessity.
When you get hurt as bad as I got hurt, the idea of hurting someone as bad as they hurt you is no longer out of the question.
Depression is a luxury I still can't afford.
Is Charles Manson a serial killer? No, he isn't, because he ain't do no killing. He's a coward. He was just crazy enough to influence people to kill for him. There were a lot of Charles Mansons in my neighborhood. There were no Napoleons.
