Variety reports that “rapper-turned-actor” Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson will star in Mario Van Peebles’ football drama Things Fall Apart.  I believe this story is inaccurate because “actor” implies ability to act and 50 Cent lacks that ability.  Mr. Cent may let you know he’s willing to accompany you to the confectionery emporium, but he could not give a believable performance if his life depended on it.  Watch Get Rich or Die Tryin’.  Watch Home of the Brave.  Then tell me with a straight face that he can act.  Tell me a can of tuna fish with a smiley face on it wouldn’t do a better job in those roles.

Things Fall Apart, “centers around a star football running back, played by Jackson, who faces a personal tragedy as well as his own mortality while in his senior year in college.”  Oh, sweet Jesus.  Maybe on the page the character is supposed to lack facial expressions and has a speech impediment that requires slurred mumbling.  If that’s the case, then 50 Cent is spot-on casting.

    Matt, you can say what you want about 50's lack of thespianality. But I'll be damned if I'm going to sit here and let you take shots at can of tuna fish with a smiley face on it. Did you see CoTwaSFoI in A Serious Man? Its performance was sublime.

    Game need to stop saying he killed g-unit's career. He wants to take credit for something he didnt' do. The fact is and still remains that Gunit need to come with the heat. I see what they are trying to do, they are trying to accomodate the ladies and the clubs with the poppish songs. I can't knock their hustle. At the end of the day, don't nobody wanna leave work and mean-mugg it all day long. Some people actually want to go out and have fun. You can't do that by “leaving ransom notes”, “shooting somebody in the face” type rhymes all day long. LOL. But, even their party jawns just have not been up to par this year.

    I believe 50 is improving with every role. He is an extremely hard worker and i think he can become respected actor. Stop hating on him and let him grow.
