What song was that ghetto Quran about

“Ghetto Qu’ran” is a song by 50 Cent from his unreleased album “Power of the Dollar.” This track, known for its controversial nature, delves into the history of the drug trade in Queens, New York, during the 1980s and 1990s. In the song, 50 Cent mentions several notorious drug dealers and figures from the Queens area, detailing their activities and influence in the streets.

The song is often cited as being controversial because it publicly named real individuals involved in the criminal underworld, some of whom were still active or influential at the time of the song’s release. This public exposure of criminal activities and figures is believed to have played a part in the animosity directed towards 50 Cent in the early stages of his career, including the attempt on his life when he was shot nine times in 2000.

“Ghetto Qu’ran” is seen as an example of 50 Cent’s raw and unfiltered approach to storytelling in his music, which became a hallmark of his style and contributed to his rise in the hip-hop industry.

Curtis James Jackson III— shot 9 times at close range in 2000:

50 Cent, born Curtis James Jackson III, was shot nine times at close range on May 24, 2000. The incident occurred outside his grandmother’s house in South Jamaica, Queens, New York. He was hit in his hand, arm, hip, both legs, chest, and left cheek. The shooting was reportedly linked to a dispute in the music industry, particularly involving his song “Ghetto Qu’ran,” which is believed to have angered influential figures in the New York underworld.

The shooting incident played a significant role in 50 Cent’s public image and career narrative, highlighting themes of survival and resilience. His recovery and subsequent rise to fame in the music industry are often seen as a testament to his perseverance and toughness. Despite the severity of the attack, 50 Cent recovered remarkably quickly and resumed his music career, releasing the album “Get Rich or Die Tryin’” in 2003, which was a massive success and solidified his position in the rap industry.

Only trust rappers who are *truly* from the hood?

More faith in 50 cent (actually was shot by a real gun many times), than a fake candy rapper like Drake?

Drake … apparently went to a private school high school, with a loving mom who dropped him off to school in maybe a BMW SUV car?

JAY Z is real … because he was actually raised in the Marcy Projects!
