"From Pieces To Weight". I bought it on Monday and finished it today. Its pretty good book. Its really insightful. It kinda makes me look at him 50 in a different light.
But here's some a few interestin stuff...
Some obvious people under different alias in the book:
Godfather = Chaz a.k.a. (Slim - the one 50 referred to on "Many Men")
Brown = Black Child
Sonny & Kyle = these guys could possibly be Preme & Prince
The FULL story with Ja Rule beef...
A friend of 50's robs Ja. Ja sees 50 haning with this guy at the club, 50 goes over to Ja to say 'what up' and Ja acts like he has a problem with 50. Then at the 'Murder 4 Life' video shoot, 50 greets Ja, but Ja barely acknowledges him and then tells everybody there that 50 cant rap. From there Ja uses his connects in the industry to keep people from working with 50. So, 50 make "You're Lifes On The Line" dissing Ja. Then Brown (aka BlackChild - whom 50 is cool with at the time) tells 50 to leave Ja alone. In ATL, 50 sees Ja standing outside of the hotel with 8 other guys, 50 goes over to squash problems with Ja, but Ja starts puttin on performance for his homies and talks all crazy while he's holding a lil baseball bat, so 50 punches him and all of the Ja's homies jump on 50 at once, but after its all over, 50 still walks away with Ja's jewelry (which he popped during the scuffle); back in NY, Blackchild tells 50 he understand why it went down and he gives 50 a watch in exchange for Ja's chain...the next time they meet is at the Hit Factory studio...
And "Ghetto Quran" isnt the reason 50 was shot.
At this time, 50 kinda goes back hustling after his deal with Columbia aint going so well. 50 describes "Sonny & Kyle" as two older guys w/ heavy reps. Sonny and Kyle get into a fight with each other over a girl (while one was in jail, the other was fuckin his girlfriend). So to squash their problem, they duke it out like ol schoolers. After Kyle beats Sonny the fuck up, 50 sarcastically checks Sonny's head for lumps. But Sonny just got his ass whooped, so he dont have much of a sense of humor. Sonny acts like he wants to flex up on 50, but doesnt really since he knows 50 boxes. With everybody standing around lookin on, 50 goes off on Sonny until 50 saids that if "Kyle had put his hands on him, he'd would beat him under the pavement". So this means, 50 has just disrespected both Sonny and Kyle. Godfather calls 50 and tells him he went to far by pissing off the wrong people like that and arranges a meeting between 50, Sonny, Kyle and himself that night, but 50 cant make that meeting because he has a session scheduled (its important for him to make this session cause Columbia is hardly giving him studio time and he REALLY wants this rap thing to workout). That session would be the session he was stabbed at. Later that night, Godfather calls 50 and tells him hes upset and stresses he definately should not have missed that meeting ad tells him that hes on his own now. The rest is history...
If theres anything else y'all wanna know, just ask...
