FEBRUARY 27--So, what kind of a drug dealer was gangsta rapper 50 Cent, the 27-year-old Eminem protege whose debut record has been a chart-topping hit? Well, as a pusher, he made a girl do the dirty work, with his 16-year-old accomplice hiding their crack cocaine stash in her underpants, according to New York court records. 50 Cent--known as Curtis Jackson in indictments and recording contracts--was arrested twice in 1994 (the busts came three weeks apart) on felony drug charges. On June 29, Jackson and Taiesha Douse, his 16-year-old cohort, were nailed for selling four vials of cocaine to an undercover NYPD officer. According to court records--which you'll find on the first four of the following nine pages--Jackson steered the cop to Douse, who carried out the hand-to-hand transaction. When searched, Douse was found to be hiding 36 vials of crack in her panties and had 12 packets of heroin in a pants pocket, an NYPD evidence voucher shows. A lab analysis showed the pair's product to be 83.6 percent pure, so to speak. Jackson was nailed again on July 19, when cops--executing a search warrant at his Queens home--discovered heroin and crack (rocks were hidden in a boot and a dresser drawer), drug packaging material, and a starter gun, which cops found sitting on top of a safe in Jackson's bedroom. Jackson pleaded out to both cases and was hit with a concurrent sentence of 3-9 years in prison. But the wannabe star, 19 at the time, avoided hard time, instead spending only seven months in a youth "shock incarceration" boot camp in upstate Beaver Dams. Jackson, whose parole term ended in January 2001, is America's hottest rapper, with "Get Rich or Die Tryin'," his searing debut CD, selling 2.2 million copies since its February 6 release. (9 pages
