    2. 50 Cent's first job explains why he's so into his boxing these days.

    50 Cent impressively competed in the Junior Olympics as an amateur boxer in the mid-80's. He once said of the job transition; "I was competitive in the ring and hip-hop is competitive too... I think rappers condition themselves like boxers, so they all kind of feel like they're the champ." Picture: Getty
