50 Cent
At the start of his career, 50 Cent was used to performing at small clubs and venues but a year after he released his platinum selling debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin, he followed in the footsteps of many artists who trekked overseas to perform for the U.S. troops. The Queens rapper went over to Iraq in 2004 to perform and the experience made a lasting impression on him. “It was intense, man. There was an intensity there,” 50 Cent said. “A lot of [soldiers] write these death notes before they go on missions, they write these notes that they want their loved ones to read. They’re in this environment where death is everywhere.”
