50 Cent pimps his new self-help book, 'The 50th Law' at Barnes & Noble

Rapper 50 Cent aka Curtis Jackson and author Robert Greene at a book signing for their new book 'The 50th Law.'

Forget da club. Fitty was in da bookstore Thursday.
Hundreds lined up at a midtown Barnes & Noble bookstore to meet Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, there promoting "The 50th Law," a self-help book he wrote with Robert Greene.
"It's an opportunity to inspire hope," said the Queens rapper about his book, which aims to teach people how to live without fear.
Fitty said he became a fan of the how-to-succeed guru after reading Greene's tomes - including "The 48 Laws of Power," and "The Art of Seduction" - and approached him several years ago to suggest a collaboration.
"Obviously, I've been using his 'Art of Seduction' tactics more than he does," he joked.
Fitty dropped his tough-guy image for the afternoon, smiling, shaking hands and chatting with everyone.
