With the recent release of his free album 5 (Murder By Numbers), 50 Cent returned to the hip-hop world to provide some of his trademark aggressive content. Never one to rest, though, 50, a renaissance man if there ever was one, quickly got back to work on his multitude of other projects. Fif sat down with RapFix to breakdown his five biggest guises: the businessman, the father, the music mogul, the rapper and the actor. Check the video above and a full breakdown after the jump.

50 Cent, The Businessman
"I've been through a full experience. The first step was establishing the actual company name. I trademarked G-Unit Worldwide with my advance. Then I partnered with Feeding America for SMS Audio, my audio company. I've launched several books. I've had a lot of success there. I've done a lot!"

50 Cent, The Father
"As soon as you say the word father to me, I think about my relationship with my father. I don't have a relationship with my father. I don't know him. Because of that, I wanted to have the relationship that I have with my son. You know, it's really important. Having a child is having an opportunity to create a better version of yourself."

50 Cent, The Music Mogul
"There's so many people that have made good choices. There's a lot of talented artists out there and sometimes you can do it by accident. When you're in a position like that, you have someone come across the table and it's gonna work."

50 Cent, The Rapper
"Rapping, it changes so much. Now, for me, it's exciting to see what tomorrow's gonna be. Hip-hop culture is pop culture. It's worldwide. It's everything."

50 Cent, The Actor
"I think, in Hollywood now, a successful actor is a working actor. I've developed a passion for it."

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
