The Jewelry Man often wonders if he has the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person he believes he was meant to be. See, The Jewelry Man has taken one idea and made that one idea his life - he thinks of it, dream's of it and lives on that idea. Here's the important piece.he leaves every other idea alone. This is the way to success; it's the way great giants are produced. The Jewelry Man.telling you that striving for success without hard work is like trying to harvest where you haven't planted.

In "Just cause you don't see me like you used to doesn't mean I'm not around" news, the Teflon Don homey Curtis "I know how to get money" Jackson made Forbes' annual "Celebrity 100 Power List," making him the only hip-hop artist on this year's countdown.

Oh really EbenGregory.can you tell us how he makes his money?

Yes.

The Jewelry Man is informed that aside from his album sales, amounting over 20 million to date, the Queens-born rapper was also recognized for his top-selling ringtones (3.2 million downloads), a Reebok sneaker line, G-Unit clothing line, a stake in Glaceau Vitamin Water and semi-biographical film "Get Rich Or Die Tryin'."

Here's Forbes editor Lea Goldman to EbenGregory on how 50 made the list: It's what kind of currency does the star's name have. It's increasingly important how they are perceived both in industry circles and commercial circles, and this list represents who has cachet in both arenas.

Here's 50 Cent to Forbes Magazine on why he goes so hard to get that chicken: I'm creating a foundation that will be around for a long time, because fame can come and go or get lost in the lifestyle and the splurging. I never got into it for the music. I got into it for the business. What are the chances I'll go bankrupt. Nearly impossible.

The Jewelry Man concurs. And speaking of being on the same page.

Here's some pink and yellow ice jewelry being dropped by EbenGregory on 50 Cent getting that chicken: Success is a ladder that cannot be climbed with your hands in your pocket. How about a 21-gun salute for 50 from The Jewelry Man.bang-bang baby, bang-bang.

And speaking of banging.spend a few minutes banging with me: MySpace.com/ebengregory.
