    Shit is crazyyyyy!!!

    Cosign @Wow

    I know right, the nigga went Gold yet he flopped? I dont get people. But maybe its just by his standards its a flop. Eminem going Gold on a album would definately be a flop in most people eyes. But flopping is what Fat Joe did, and is prolly gonna do again cuz i dont see anymore than 8000 people buying his album again.

  10. Drucifer1983 says:

    Holy shit!!!!!!

    I might have to check this out, he obviously put some time and energy into this, picture reminds me of Christian Bale in that movie “The Machinest” where dude couldnt sleep or eat and he lost like 80 pounds or summin

  11. heavy-metal says:

    this is insane.

  12. Mike S. says:

    *face palm*

    All of that and the nigga STILL can’t act for shit!

    Damn, epic fail eminent..

    it’s not that bad… RapRadar just widened the pics vertically…

  16. smokeyou says:

    Reminds me the movie “The Machinist” with Christian Bale.

  17. webstar says:

    BISD didn’t flop. The only problem for 50 is that he had previously made fun of other people’s record sales & then got outsold by Rawse. By his standards it flopped…your mouth got you in it.

  18. Fat Boy says:

    ^^^ ……smh a lot of LOL’s

  19. Drucifer1983 says:

    @ Fred Durst

    50 himself said he was having tattoos removed so he could get more acting roles, thats him bruh

    I bet 50 will get alot more movie work after this, because it definatly shows that he’s dedicated, More money in movies anyway and we all know 50 cares more about money then anything

  20. Theloneus says:

    Damn that’s nasty. Ain’t no girl gonna come onto him now.

  21. Theloneus says:

    Oh and RR please ban biggar for life.

  22. D says:

  31. Str8 to Video says:

  36. bk82 says:

    50 got Oskar !!!

  37. [...] film drops to see if that same feeling is translated on screen. Check out more flicks over at the Rap Radar [...]

    Smart move for this dude to reinvent himself.
    50′s music career is over and he got panned widely as an actor back when he was really just an image created for music sales. The hip hop bad guy. Freddy Kreuger with a mic.

    Now by dramatically changing his appearence people will give him another shot at hollywood which his best shot at extending his fame and the consistent dough that will bring.

    It doesnt make him a good actor although altering your physical appearence drastically as he has could help him in actually becoming a role.

    He’ll take criticism and jokes, but he’s on strong footing. Will smith got on his knees in six degrees of seperation to be taken seriously as an actor. It hasnt turned out too bad for him.

    Another example of how 50 uses laws of power to win. Anyone betting against this dude has lost more than they have won. scoreboard.

  39. mjack says:

    Like the dedication is just unreal. You have to respect a man who is dedicated at so many levels….Forever King

  40. WhatsUpSon says:

    Wowzers. This better pay off.

    @flyingdutch808

    50′s music career is over <—— Ur Dumb….lol

  43. me says:

    Where are his tatoos ??

  44. Jay Fingers says:

    This is on some Bobby DeNiro/Raging Bull shit.

    Or, since he lost weight, a Christian Bale/The Machinist comparison would be more apropos.

    Get Rich or Die Tryin’ was on EBT, uh, BET last night and it made me think about this cat’s film career. He’s not much of an actor, but he keeps getting roles. Hopefully, this project reveals a range we never knew Curtis had. Plus, he’s not playing a rapper/gangster, so that’s good.

  45. Oj Da Cornball says:

    Hate means nothing to such dedication.

    This is Oscar worthy if he acts the role well. WOW

    I can’t even loose 10lbs in 10 weeks.

    This dude really shows his persistency, it’s clear he didn’t just become 50 Cent the superstar by luck. All hard work.

    Props
