I only wish that 50 and Robert had expounded more on the Miles Davis quote about the blue flame over the gas oven. In reading this quote,I am reminded of 50’s question recently about what would motivate a woman to not stick with her God ordained mate. El Shaddai being “He who answers” reminds us all that “regardless of having such a background,if persons now abandon their ex- unclean paractices, apply His righteous standards, and exercise faith in His provision for forgiveness of sins through Christ, they can delight in a clean standing before God. After reforming, they may be welcomed in the Christian Congregation. Right Christians know that even deeply rooted incorrect desires, including persons that may have a genetic basis or that occupy physical causes or environmental factors are not insurmountable for persons who want to please Jehovah.”-Reasoning from the Scriptures

If you are a fan of Robert Greene books, then you should certainly buy this book. This text is a lot more brief and simplified than the 48 Laws of Power or the Art of Seduction. The thought of fearing nothing is a critical approach towards increasing power in your life. This book can be considered the law that makes all the additional laws powerful. If you are disabled by dread, you can not pursue power.
Reflect of the 50th Law as the most vital law.

This is my first book that I have read from both authors and after completing this book I have become very interested in reading their previous works. I reflect some of the reviewers are incorrect to call this book a simple biography of Curtis Jackson (aka 50 Cent) as written by Robert Greene. This book certainly talks about his upbringing in Southside Queens and his rise to fame and power. But I wouldn’t call it a biography as this book is more interested in “how” Curtis became the man he is than just providing a simple chronological narrative of his life. This “how” is what the book is all about as it outlines the steps that one must take to became fearless and draws parallels between Curtis’ life and some of the most respected and accomplished individuals throughout history (Napolean Bonaparte, Miles Davis, Frederick Douglas, Malcolm X, etc).
From what I know of Robert Greene his previous works are more about strategy and how to take power, money, and sex. His writing style has a to some extent what immoral vibe to it that at first made me feel to some extent guilty in reading. But after simply taking some time to reflect about what he’s written you’ll start to realize that he’s just purely stating the cold hard truth about us as people and about life. If its to much for you to take in than that’s your loss, as there are real life lessons to be learned here.
There are so many wondeful tales in this book about individuals throughout history who chose to buck the current trend or philosophy and did what they want to do and became fearless in the process. To not read this book purely because you are not a fan of 50 Cent or Robert Greene would be an error in judgement as there is something here for everyone. My personal favorite tale in this book is when a young 50 Cent (than currently hustling in Southside Queens) starts to complain about the complexities and hard life of a hustler to an older hustler named Truth. Truth’s response is priceless and has become the philosophy from which I now live by. I don’t want to spoil it but it really is that poignant and powerful. In synopsis read this book! You won’t be sorry.

Some additional reviews gave the 50th Law a couple stars! WHAT!?!? This was a really fantastic place for him to go…..he covered POWER, WAR, SEDUCTION. where did you want him to go, DOG TRAINING?!?! Street smarts or laws of the streets was a fantastic thought….for Greene to tackle. I loved Power, and War….and this book just adds more stategy, and reinforces more of his additional books.
The down side was…….it has toooooooo much 50 cent in it. Greene should have agreed additional “ghetto/Street” references besides 50’s, mixed with his past examples to enforce his LAWS/RULES. It seemed like all the “street smarts” examples came from just 50. but he probably wasnt going go to the hood and knock on additional players/pimps/dealers doors(they’d toss him around like a bag of OREOS)… but i guess i would have been more impressed with more collaborators than just 50, what about,eddie griffin (comedian), or even pimpin ken (self explanitory) they came from terrible areas and situations and came up.I bet there are loads of people who would have had some KNoWlEdge to drop about this theme. If there were more collaborators i would say that this book would go down as THE STREET BIBLE!!! Every buisness person should read this book to mix a small “STREET” to their 7 habits/napolean hill/ e-myth library.
The additional downside is every homey and his baby’s mama is gonna read this, reflect they are the next “ghetto CEO” and probably hurt themselves or additional people, or they are going apply it to their GANG or something. I hope people read this to be more aware and just more street smart themselves.
