50 Cent appears ready to join forces with his “Favorite White Boy,” Eminem, for a long-anticipated joint album.
The Detroit rap icon recently discussed the possibility during an interview with DJ Whoo Kid, calling the idea “possible” and urging, “We gotta stop bullshittin’ and just do it.”
Shortly after, 50 responded on Instagram, suggesting he’s open to returning to the recording studio to make it happen.
“Looks like I’ll be back in the booth [eyes emoji] [applause emojis] after all! Just gotta do this residency in Vegas first,” 50 wrote, referring to his upcoming Sin City residency.
The G-Unit founder is scheduled to perform six shows at PH Live in Planet Hollywood between December 27 and January 4.
Talks of a full-length collaboration between the longtime friends and collaborators first surfaced earlier this year. In another interview with Whoo Kid, Eminem had expressed his eagerness for new music from 50, saying, “I’m trying to get him to make a new album so bad. We need another 50 album like really bad. He’s been on a roll since the [Final Lap] tour. Whatever he needs from me, I’m here. That shit’d be crazy, though — an album with me and him.”
The two recently teamed up on “Gunz N Smoke,” a standout track from Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre’s latest project, Missionary. The song marked the first collaboration involving all four hip-hop heavyweights and paid homage to the late Notorious B.I.G. Featuring a sample of Biggie’s posthumous track “Dead Wrong,” the song showcases several nods to the iconic rapper. 50 channels Biggie’s cadence in his verse, while Snoop references lyrics from “Notorious Thugs.”
Reflecting on his enduring bond with Eminem, 50 Cent recently shared a memorable story about their first meeting. Speaking on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, the Get Rich or Die Tryin’ rapper admitted he initially thought it was an elaborate prank.
“It was wild. Remember that show Punk’d on MTV? I thought they had cameras waiting to say, ‘You’ve been Punk’d,’” 50 recalled. “Em flew me to L.A., and I was so bugged out that I came through the airport with a [bulletproof] vest on. He hugged me and said, ‘Yo, this is gonna be the biggest shit.’ He was so excited it made me question if it was real. It felt so good it couldn’t be right.”
Fans of both artists are eagerly anticipating whether this dream collaboration will materialize, marking another chapter in their legendary partnership.
