50 Cent Moves to Acting
Following in Eminem's footsteps perhaps.
Eminem's protégé 50 Cent looks set to follow in his footsteps after details emerged that the G Unit member will try his hand at acting. His feature film debut will see him cast as a drug dealer turned rapper in a semi-autobiographical sense just like Slim Shady.
Whether 50 Cent's effort will match the success of Eminem's 8 Mile remains to be seen but it is a sign of the growing influence of urban artists and MTV. The television station is currently bankrolling another movie which is set to feature Usher through its MTV Films branch. There are high hopes for 50 Cent's debut though as it is beig produced by the same people who brought us 8 Mile and is being penned by the lead writer of The Sopranos.
