50 Cent (real name Curtis Jackson) helped define an era of hip-hop with his 2003 album that included hits "In Da Club," "21 Questions," and "Many Men (Wish Death)." Several of the songs referenced the moment he was shot nine times in 2000 as well as various happenings from street life in the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens, New York.

If you saw the rapper perform the album in the past, don't expect the same from this tour. "It’s gonna be a whole new show," he promises.

"Sometimes out of habit, you go to certain records," 50 Cent says. "People love other things on it, so I wanna make sure I touch those records before I don’t do those anymore."

  1. The Final Lap sounds so final, but I’m happy and excited about this. Get Rich or Die Tryin’ is a Certified Classic album. 50 Cent is a Living Legend, I’m glad that he’s able to smell his well deserved flowers.🐐🔥
