50 cent american gangster

File this under “things rappers probably wouldn’t want to the public to see.” Defamer have got their hands on 50 Cent’s American Gangster audition tape from 2007, and have duly shared it for the Internet’s amusement. Aiming to land the role of one of Frank Lucas’ brothers (which eventually went to Chiwetel Ejiofor), Curtis had to prove his acting chops by crying on cue. I mean, that alone is worth the watch.

(Jokes aside, 50 could actually act a little bit).

UPDATE: Watch the tape after the jump, courtesy of 2DBZ.
