It’s no secret the impact that Beulah Jackson had on 50 Cent, which in turn lead to the world. In an interview with REVOLT earlier this year, the Jamaica Queens business man made no hesitation to reference his idol — his grandmother. Fif mentioned that when it came time to follow up to 2003’s 6x platinum selling Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ with The Massacre, his first song crafted was the album closer, “God Gave Me Style.” That track, according to Mr. Jackson, was important “because if you asked me to make one wish, it would be for that record to be a success. And you know what happens? When I make the song, I go to my grandma house and I play the record for her. And she’s like, ‘Wow you got one for me’.”
“Look, she’s bought every record that I ever had sell commercial and [they] still got the plastic on ’em. She don’t listen to 50 Cent, that ain’t her vibe. [So] when she hears the content to “God Give My Style,” she says oh you made one for me, I’m like, Yeah I’ma do it a little different this time and she’s like, ‘Okay, just don’t forget why they liked you in the first place.’”
