50 Cent has successfully made the transition from rapper to owning his own empire. The rapper will further solidify his reign with the release of his new movie, Get Rich Or Die Tryin', on Wednesday (November 9). While people may point to his affiliation with Eminem and Dr. Dre as the keys to his success, if you ask the rapper, it's all been based on his upbringing in the streets of Queens, New York.

50 Cent said: "They say things you go through make you who you are. You know, my experiences and everything about me comes from South Jamaica, Queens. You know, I grew up there 27 years. I've lived a lifestyle that they would consider a successful lifestyle for the last three years."

The rapper added: "You know, but I've been that because I've been writing about my experiences in South Jamaica, Queens. You know, so I don't actually want to change much, but anyone who tells you that money don't change you just didn't make enough."

In addition to the movie, the rapper will release the soundtrack for Get Rich Or Die Tryin' Tuesday (November 8). The set features contributions from Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, Young Buck, Olivia, Mase, Mobb Deep, Nate Dogg, and M.O.P., with production by Dr. Dre and Hi-Tek.

50 Cent is currently promoting two singles from the project, "Hustler's Ambition" and "Window Shopper."
