Hip hop superstar 50 Cent sits down with Nick Huff Barili as part of SXSW’s interview series to discuss his meteoric rise to fame from humble beginnings in Queens, to his incredibly successful musical career and hip hop empire, as well as his current work with SMS Headphones and the upcoming release of his album “Street King Immortal”. This hour long interview will be posted in separate parts. In part 2, 50 Cent talks about the 10 year anniversary of his major label debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin. When talking about success 50 states: “No matter how much you feel that you are prepared for something it never happens on your time…it always happens when its supposed to happen…The period when you feel ready and people are not acknowledging the material the way you feel that they should (because its good) is the time that you actually develop skin thick enough to survive when it does work….As a new artist you get people that hear it (your music) but don’t know that it has a value to it… Because they don’t see you the way they see the guy that everyone is embracing at the moment. I don’t think artists should make adjustments. I think they should stay in the pocket that they are in and when they have a moment it really explodes because its different.” …”I’ve heard demo tapes from 10 different Lil Waynes that weren’t Lil Wayne…Its hard for me to really embrace it cause
