With the various styles of how an artist makes a comeback, I?d say 50 Cent?s is the best. After surviving nine gunshots in April of 2000, he was dropped like a log by his label Columbia Records, but 50 Cent remained unfazed.

You dont know 50 Cent was born into a notorious Queens drug dynasty during the late '70s, 50 Cent lost those closest to him at an early age, the trauma gave him the strength to withstand all trials that come his way.

He was signed up to Columbia Records in 1999, wherein he came up with 36 songs for his debut ?Power of a Dollar,? a masterpiece that was never released.

He stick up with new 50 Cent lyrics kid anthem "How to Rob," which depicted him as a deliriously hungry up-and-comer daydreaming of robbing famous rappers.

But 50 and the fans were the only ones laughing. Unable to take a joke, Jay-Z, Big Pun, Sticky Fingaz, and Ghostface Killah all replied to the song.

But for 50, it was not personal but rather a comedy based on truth.

In April of 2000, 50 was shot 9 times, including a .9mm bullet to the face, in front of his grandmother?s house in Queens, afterwhich Columbia dropped him while he was recuperating.

It did not however dampened 50 Cent?s spirit, he instead banged out track after track, despite no income or backing, with his new business partner and friend Sha Money XL. The two recorded over 30 songs, strictly for mix-tapes, with the soul purpose of building a buzz. 50's street value rose and by the end of the spring of 2001, he released the new material independently on the makeshift LP, "Guess Who's Back?".

50 Cent then started showcasing his hit-making ability by retouching first-class beats which had already been used. They released the red, white and blue bootleg, "50 Cent Is the Future," revisiting material by Jay-Z and even Rapheal Saadiq.

That?s when his real break happened when the energetic CD caught the attention of Eminem who listens to 50 Cent songs, and within a week Em who was hands up 50 Cent was on the radio saying, '50 Cent is my favorite rapper right now.'

Floored by the appreciation of the greats, 50 didn't hesitate in signing with the dream team. In the wake of his acquisition, 50 Cent has become the most sought after newcomer in almost a decade.

Ever the clever businessman, 50 didn't let the opportunity escape him and quickly released another bootleg of borrowed beats, "No Mercy, No Fear." The CD featured only one new track, "Wanksta," which was certainly not intended for radio, but the streets couldn't wait for the official single and kept asking where can i hear 50 Cent songs and within weeks "Wanksta" became New York's most requested record.

Thankfully, the stellar cut has found a home on the multi-platinum soundtrack to Eminem's smash movie, "8 Mile."

With several huge hits already under his belt, 50 Cent is poised to be the artist to beat next year. He's coming with over ten incredible tracks stashed from last spring and newly recorded winners courtesy of Eminem, who's really cut his production teeth of late, and hip-hop's greatest, highest-selling producer Dr. Dre. The list of 50 Cents songs could go on forever.
