Trivia:
50 Cent hired an acting coach but Jim Sheridan had the woman removed from the set. Sheridan told 50 "If this fails, it won't be because you can't act. It's because I didn't direct you right."

Goofs:
Factual errors: When young 50 is about to "protect" his mom when she's confronting the drug dealer who's working her corner, 50's weapon was a club, that particular club didn't come out until the early '90s.

Marcus has always known he was going to be a rapper, but when his mother is murdered, he turns to dealing--hustling drugs pays the rent. As his world spirals out of control, he begins to apply the same manic intensity to his writing as he does to dealing; he has to write down his words to stay sane. For years, he endures this living hell until a tragedy that nearly kills him gets Marcus to change his life
don't believe synopsis, when you see MTV films, run away !
I put a 9, I slept very nicely, the shooting woke me up sometimes though. You can see skin but only if you have the DVD or the movie, otherwise it's too fast. (it pleases SOME women I'm sure and MEN of course)
don't have to be black or be a gangster, to be a raper, today I'm sure of it. The good thing is that so you don't have those stupid racial ideas any longer in you head, like rapers are black, intellectuals are Jewish.... his movie helps in that sense
