Plato, Nietzsche and Kierkegaard were great thinkers, but they were nowhere when it came to hip hop or rock 'n' roll. 'What is a wise man? What is a prophet?' So asks Jessica Pallington West, author of What Would Keith Richards Do?, a collection of whisky-soaked wisdom from the rock star who won't die. Speaking of those who would not die, here comes 50 Cent as well, the entrepreneurial American rapper who in the year 2000 took nine bullets and lived to tell about it. That would have to change a man, and the drug-dealer-turned-pop-star now seems to feel he has much to teach us, with The 50th Law, his collaboration with bestselling author and life-strategy guru Robert Greene. Whose advice should one follow? Compare the excerpted deep thoughts.
On being yourself 50 Cent "The greatest fear people have is that of being themselves. They do what everyone else does even if it doesn't fit where and who they are. But you get nowhere that way; your energy is weak and no one pays attention to you."
Keith Richards "I just want to be Muddy Waters. Even though I'll never be that good or that black."
On drug use
50 Cent "Reality is my drug. The more I have of it, the more power I get and the higher I feel."
Keith Richards "I've never had a problem with drugs, only with policemen" ... "Intoxication? I'm polytoxic."
On yourself as a character
50 Cent "50 Cent is a person I created. Soon it will be time to destroy him and become somebody else."
Keith Richards "I'm Keith Richards. I try everything once."
