To elucidate and provide a reference for gamegirl745's answer:
On May 24, 2000, just before Columbia was set to release "Power of the Dollar" an assassin attempted to take 50's life on 161st Street in Jamaica, Queens (near where Jam Master Jay would later be fatally shot two and half years later) shooting him nine times with a 9mm pistol while the rapper sat helpless in the passenger seat of a car. One shot pierced his cheek, another his hand, and the seven others his legs and thighs; yet he survived, barely. Even so, Columbia wanted nothing to do with 50 when they heard the news, shelving "Power of the Dollar" and parting ways with the now-controversial rapper.  http://www.allmusic.com (search "50 Cent" - real name is Curtis Jackson)
