The Crying Game: Watch 50 Cent’s ‘American Gangster’ Audition Tape From 2007

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.

I remember a story that Jay was vying to be Frank Lucas in that film! lmao Jay’s acting is terrible! he wanted the part off name alone…what work has he put in the field to feel he can STAR as the main character in a biopic!
This actually was a good audition by Fif! Even though his crying scene when his mom died in before i self destruct was terrrribullll

50’s acting in this was godawful. He was just reciting the lines himself, same mannerisms that he uses in videos and interviews. Barely any inflection. He’s a terrible actor.
