50 Cent has had an epic career.
During a stop on Big Boy’s Neighborhood, the 47-year-old was asked if there was one moment in his legendary run that he would like to relive.
Fif had a very specific answer.
“The first time I realized the numbers on Get Rich or Die Tryin, that was it for me. Like, we had a short first week, and it came back, it was like 830,000 something. And then we didn’t have the decrease that you would have, that meant they under-shipped it," 50 explained. "Because the 60 percent, 30 percent decrease that would be there for every album wasn’t there because the following week, it came in with a whole other something like 800,000. For me, I was on a bus riding in the back, and I remembered feeling, ‘This is never going to feel like this again.'”
So you could say it was all downhill from there. But it was quite a high hill.
