While I am not a big hip-hop fan, when playing certain games the music fits in quite well. I can imagine no game better equipped to have 50 Cent music than a 50 Cent game. Back when the last Grand Theft Auto was being planned there were tons of rumors 50 Cent was going to be the lead, and provide exclusive music. I don’t know the real reason the talks broke apart, or even how far along the discussions went, but I think this game is a result of 50 getting interested in the game industry from those meetings.

Either way I have to hand it to him. He is easily one of the music industries brightest stars, and by offering exclusive music on the game, he is sure to have a monster hit even if the game is only so-so. Below is the list of tracks, and way more details.
