Once upon a time there was a prince who, through no fault of his own, was placed under a spell by an evil witch. The curse was that the prince could speak only one word each year. He could, however, save up credits, so if he did not speak at all in one year, he could speak two words the following year.
One day he met a beautiful princess and fell madly in love. He decided to refrain from speaking for two years so that he could look at her and say, "My darling".
At the end of two years, however, he wanted also to tell her he loved her, so he decided to wait three more years, for a total of five years of silence. At the end of five years, however, he knew he had to ask her to marry him, so he needed to wait still another four years.
Finally, as his nith year of silence ended, he was understandably overjoyed. He led the princess to the most romantic part of the royal garden, knelt before her, and said, "My darling, I love you. Will you marry me?"
The princess replied, "Pardon?"

So the joke is that 50 Cent is dumb? Uneducated? The point of humour isn't to just blurt out the obvious. And if the joke is that difficult to understand, and in this case just not funny, then the problem isn't with the person who doesn't get it. The problem is with your delivery.

Its exaggerating the ‘or die trying’ bit. It can work with anything.

“Get a haircut or die trying”
“Get a job or die trying”
“Get a girlfriend or die trying”
“Get a pizza or die trying”

I just put the ‘get an primary school education’ to add more flavour to it.

If it's "flavor" you're after, just go for broke and say:

"Get some KFC or die trying."

@SF's joke: Well, yeah, if some creep I knew didn't speak for nine whole years, I'd be pretty surprised too if he asked me to marry him.

Commit suicide or die trying.
Become a kindergarten teacher or die trying.
Die trying or die trying.
Get interested in physics or die trying.
Reanimate the dead or die trying.
Stay alive or die trying.

Make a subliminal message or die trying.

From this point on, I shall use this joke where I see fit. Just a heads up.

Hey, if death would be a great adventure, did a guy who murdered his wife and kids and then committed suicide get the family vacation package at the travel agency?
