Is your family

going to be here soon?

It's just me

this time.

Look, I started

to gain my weight back.

I was feeling good...

and my hand

just seized up.

Look, you're the only one who's

been straight with us, Doc.

Just tell me the truth.

New MRI tests show

that...

the cancer's come back.

F***.

You got a metastatic tumor

in your brain that's appeared.

It's right above

the motor cortex,

and that's what's

affecting your hands.

I've 9,000 dollars

left to my name, Doc.

Can't drag my family

through this again.

Come on.

Come with me.

Isn't it f***in' ironic?

I'm a cancer doctor but

I enjoy second hand smoke.

I quit a year ago but I

still like coming out here.

I figure as long as I'm not

lighting up, it doesn't count.

F*** it.

I don't understand, Doc.

I did all the treatments.

What's causing it?

I don't know.

I mean, environments,

cigarettes, genetics,

the sun. I mean, there's

hundreds and hundreds of reasons.

It's impossible to

pinpoint just one, Deon.

Understand?

Look, when I was a resident, there

was a patient that I'll never forget.

She and her husband

saved for years

'cause they wanted to

take a trip to Africa

to see the silver back

gorillas in the Congo.

We saw her tests.

We knew that any

treatment that we gave her

would just be

postponing the inevitable.

I mean, she was dying.

She was riddled with cancer.

I wanted to tell her,

we all wanted to tell her,

but the hospitaI's policy

was pursue a very aggressive

and expensive

series of treatments

regardless of the fact that

her insurance dropped her.

Her husband lost everything.

Their house, the savings,

he never got to take

that trip with his wife.

She died

a few months later.

Right there.

In this hospital.

Look, you came to me because I've

been straight with you, right?

Yeah.

Okay. Here it is.

The 9,000 dollars

is not gonna go very far.

This costs upwards

to 100,000 dollars,

and even that's only

gonna buy you a few months,

four months,

five months.

And I die anyway?

I'm telling you...

I'm telling you what the

tests are telling me, alright?

There's always hope.

But you can never run again.

There's no athletics, that's over.

Look, the question is...

do you wanna do it

in there...

with those machines

attached to you?

Or do you want to do

it on your own terms?

That's the question.

Honey...

I know it's raining

right now,

but you're gonna have

many more birthdays, okay?

Be happy and

celebrate today.

Alright? Will you do that for me?

Deon, you better wipe the

shower down when you use it.

Congratulations, Momma.

You movin' on up.

Like the

Jeffersons, baby.

What you talkin' about?

We got this big order

for Saturday night.

Top of the line.

"Sean Barnes has

been accepted

"into the Masters of Business

Administration Program

at Columbia University. "

You knew

about this?

They offered

me a scholarship.

Oh, baby. We've been

going through all this

and you've been helping me

and you had time to apply?

Oh, baby.

I'm so proud of you.

And you know what? I know

I haven't said that enough.

And I haven't

said thank you enough.

You've been helping

me so much.

What?

Ooh.

Check it out.

Check it out.

What?

Huh?

Oh, that's beautiful.

Oh my goodness.

It's what

you're wearing.

Who the hell are we

catering for,

Michelle Obama?

This is beautiful.

Who set this up?

Somebody must

have recommended you.

Okay.

Can I help

you with those?

You look

so handsome.

You look beautiful.

Really though.

I mean...

Well, it's

a party, Momma.

This is beautiful.

You didn't tell me

it would be like this.

Holy...

This is great.

I'm telling you.

Bizzy Bee Catering is

a big star right now.

But you know,

I'm so excited.

I went and looked

in my recipe book,

my gourmet book

and I found...

Hey, Mrs. Barnes,

of that delicious food.

What's up, Sean?

Did you set

this up?

You like?

I love it.

It's beautiful.

I had to grow up

one day, Mrs. B.

Plus you know I've always

been an entrepreneur type.

How else was I gonna

pay for my weed?

You are...

Have a good

time tonight, man.

Let's do this, y'all.

It's beautiful.

Ooh. What is this?

Momma, I think

the guest of honor

would like to dance with you.

Look at my

two young men.

What is this?

Yeah, alright.

They're playing

your song, Momma.

This is a very

special request coming up,

right here for a very

important lady out here.

And it's a special request

from our own host, Deon.

Let's get it down.

I don't believe

you all.

Here we go.

I need you to

do me a favor.

What is this about?

I need you

to promise first.

What is this?

Come on.

I know you up

to something.

Somebody wants

to dance with you.

Go ahead,

go ahead.

You...

Come on now.

It looks beautiful.

Yeah.

Thank you for this.

Thank you, man, I

couldn't do it without you.

Yeah, they're men now.

Look at them.

They're some good men.

You remember

this place?

Yeah, we used to play pee

wee league here together.

We had good times, man.

Yeah.

That's where all

the bullshit started.

Where it all started.

Hey, man, I have something I

shoulda done a long time ago.

Just wait a minute.

Sherry, can I borrow

Sharon for a minute?

Yeah.

What's going on?

You two look

great together.

I wanna see

you dance.

You hesitate, this is

gonna start all over again.

Get out of

here, man.

I can't dance.

It's okay.

Beautiful party.

And beautiful lady.

Oh, can you

believe this sh*t?

I couldn't find a tux in my size so

I had to settle for a size smaller.

I started out as a young

man playing quarterback

and I got old

and became a lineman.

Well, you busting

out of that, coach.

It makes me look

slim, don't it?

I'm glad you came.

Well, it means a lot

that you called me.

A lesser man would've held

a grudge about what went on.

Life's too short for that kind of sh*t.

Sure is.

We had some good times

together, didn't we, Coach?

Yes, we did.

Hey, I want you to...

hold onto this for me.

I know you know

where I got it from.

I know.

Thank you.

It's a party, man.

Get your groove on.

Yeah, okay.

Come here.

Yeah?

I thought he was sick.

What's he celebrating?

I don't know.

I think he just wanna go out on top.

Go! Go!

That's it.

That's my boy!

50 Cent

Curtis James Jackson III (born July 6, 1975), known professionally as 50 Cent, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, actor, businessman, and investor. Born in the South Jamaica neighborhood of the borough of Queens, Jackson began selling drugs at age twelve during the 1980s crack epidemic. He later began pursuing a musical career and in 2000 he produced Power of the Dollar for Columbia Records, but days before the planned release he was shot and the album was never released. In 2002, after Jackson released the compilation album Guess Who's Back?, he was discovered by Eminem and signed by Shady Records, Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records. With the aid of Eminem and Dr. Dre (who produced his first major-label album, Get Rich or Die Tryin'), Jackson became one of the world's best selling rappers and rose to prominence with East Coast hip hop group G-Unit (which he leads de facto). In 2003, he founded G-Unit Records, signing his G-Unit associates Young Buck, Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo. Jackson had similar commercial and critical success with his second album, The Massacre, which was released in 2005. He released his fifth studio album, Animal Ambition, in 2014 and is working on his sixth studio album, Street King Immortal. He executive produces and stars in the show Power, which airs on Starz.During his career Jackson has sold over 30 million albums worldwide and won several awards, including a Grammy Award, thirteen Billboard Music Awards, six World Music Awards, three American Music Awards and four BET Awards. He has pursued an acting career, appearing in the semi-autobiographical film Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005), the Iraq War film Home of the Brave (2006) and Righteous Kill (2008). 50 Cent was ranked the sixth-best artist of the 2000s and the third-best rapper (behind Eminem and Nelly) by Billboard. Rolling Stone consider Get Rich or Die Tryin' and "In da Club" to be in their lists of "100 Best albums of the 2000s" and "100 Best songs of the 2000s" at numbers 37 and 13 respectively. more…
