50 Cent.... what a goofy name.


I bet these rappers who thought at the time that a unique stage name would be cool for their careers.... now they're stuck with it. This guy 50 Cent (Curtis James Jackson III) has great talent (in his own field) and should revert to his real name but I guess it's too late now ...any thoughts?

I laughed so hard (not really, but inside I actually laughed) when he showed up in this movie. The straight hair made him even more of a joke xD

Too funny!


I don't know the truth about Sep 11th. What I know is that the official version isn't the truth.

50 Cent is the reasin i wont see this movie. is bad enough i have to take the crap "music" genre.

50 Cent is a metaphor for change.

In most movies, they don't ask him to even act, really. He's usually a pimp or a drug dealer. If you stick with what you know, you'll appear more believable.

Every 50cent movie I watch is bad, and when I see his face I know it's that damn 50cent and he will play a character that is 50cent with a different name. He will be that pimp or bad cop, every single time and when he doesn't it just feels wrong.

Justin Timberlake acts so much better, and he is still not great.

Say what ya want about 50 but lets be fair he acted well in this film, i wasn't impressed with Righteous kill but credit where credits due he played this role very well.

He not a great actor but he was very good in All Things Fall Apart. Showed he did have potential.
There are some rappers that IMO are good actors. Ice T, DMX and Ludacris. I am not sure why some of you folks think rappers cannot be good actors. Back in the 40's there plenty of singers and BTW singers that adults made fun of because they thought only teenagers liked them, People like Frank Sinatra turned to acting, he wasn't that great in the beginning either. What about Elvis people thought he sang the devils music he became a actor. So why so hard on rappers and their names. I bet most of them would rather use their real name but I bet the Producers want to use them as a draw so they keep their alter ego name. And so what if you don't like them plenty of people do and would look at a movie just because 50 cent or some other rapper was in it.

Jealous much? He's rich and you're not. I bet his bank account says Curtis James Jackson.
