50 Cent launches new book in New York
By M&C News Aug 10, 2005, 15:45 GMT
Rapper 50 Cent was at New York's Virgin Megastore on August 9, 2005 to promo his first autobiography: "From Pieces to Weight: Once upon a time in Southside Queens" published by MTV books.
Describing the book 50 Cent says: "I wrote this book to explain the world I come from. To a lot of people, I may be too young to reflect on life. And they may be right. But I'd be wasting my blessings if I didn't use the attention I'm getting to shed light on the experiences that have caused me to say the things I say and make the kind of music I make."
I want to explain my environment to those who don't come any closer to it than the records they buy or the images they see on television. People want the truth. Even if they can't handle it, they want it. I let you know that I survived nine bullets not to sell records, but because it's the truth."
From Pieces to Weight is out now and available via Amazon and Amazon UK (Sept).
