The ultimate hustle is to move freely between the street and corporate worlds, to find your flow and never stay locked in the same position. This is a manifesto for how to operate in the 21st century, where everything has been turned on its head. Building on the runaway success of Robert Greene's The 48 Laws of Power (almost half a million copies sold), the "modern Machiavelli" teams up with rapper 50 Cent to show how the power game of success can be played to your advantage. Drawing on the lore of gangsters, hustlers, and hip-hop artists, as well as 50 Cent's business and artistic dealings, the authors present the Laws of 50, revealing how to become a master strategist and supreme realist. Success comes from seeking an advantage in each and every encounter, and The 50th Law offers indispensable advice on how to win in business--and in life.

Review:

In The 50th Law the combined expertise of rapper 50 Cent and author Robert Greene promises to teach readers to get rid of their fear, and succeed (N/A Bookseller & Publisher [Australia] 2009-08-19)

Invaluable business law ... it is almost frightening to think of the amount of leonine stone-walling that will be going on in boardrooms once this volume hits the shelves (Ben Thompson Financial Times 2009-02-09)

An Art of War - style book of tough-guy maxims to live by (David Smyth Evening Standard 2009-09-22)

An entertaining analysis of the mechanics of individualistic power ... 50 Cent's story is well known, but seen through the psychologist's prism this tale of a thirst for business power and money makes compelling reading. The 50th Law itself is, apparently, that power will only come to you once you stop caring what other people think, a sentiment with which many entrepreneurs would agree.
Book of the Month - 8/10

(N/A BA Business Life 2009-10-01)

If you have a penchant for the "don't mess" ethics of Napoleon, you'll probably love this (Rob Sharp The Independent 2009-10-22)

The hip hop entrepreneur book (Matilda Egere-Cooper Independent 2009-10-14)

Jackson's story is remarkable (Jeremy Hazlehurst City A.M 2009-10-08)

There are some pretty powerful things in there. I relate to him because we come from a similar world, where there are not a lot of opportunities, and he manages to turn every situation into a huge positive. (Lethal Bizzle Independent 2010-01-08)

Astonishing and sometimes poignant ... Jackson helps to bring the visceral survival instinct of the New York ghetto to the boardroom. (Michael Odell The Times 2010-04-03)

It's my favourite book (Tinchy Stryder Reveal 2011-01-15)
