50 Cent challenges all comers, Destructoid ups the ante photo

Ever wanted to shoot 50 Cent in the face? Darryl Baum failed to do it in real life, but you may at least have an opportunity to do it in the virtual realm, if Fiddy doesn't back down from his recent challenge.

Curtis "50" Jackson "Cent" III has declared that, having been given an opportunity to play his own game, Blood on the Sand, he is rather good at it. Good enough, in fact, to challenge anybody brave enough to face him. 

"I actually had the opportunity to play it, and I'm pretty good at it," claims the rap sensation. "If anybody out there wants to create a challenge or wants to bet some money online, we could play the game right now."

O RLY? Jared Rea kickstarted the call to arms and has already accepted, but Destructoid not only accepts this challenge, but wishes to up the ante. Destructoid will gather a "posse" of videogame journalists (including Jared, if our "homie" is up for it) to do battle against the whole of the G-Unit, if Mr. Cent isn't too pussy to face us. We will do this thing. 

If 50 Cent and his "crew" want to face the D-Unit, he need only name a time and place, "dawg."

What about a tag team match against 50 Cent AND Soulja Boy?

I think I hate rappers and 50 cent more than just about anything.

This would be one of the few times I would cheer for jim sterling and his "D-Unit" to kick his ass..

Jim Stirling is officially whiter than me. Good to know, I will now be deflecting all claims of me being whitest man in the world to Jim.

Wow, beefing in Videogames and on the rap scene. Well, this will make you keep his video games name in your mouth and spread it across the 'net. Viral Marketing and Hiphop "beef" marketing at it's finest.

50 Cent = 1
Destructoid = 0

Pwnd Jimmy nuts, you just got pwnd!

This game will be terrible...

Now, if Cliffy B wants to challenge me in Gears 1 or 2 and put that Epic money on it... then I'm game, my cracka!

PS. The bet has to be lower than 100 dollars because of the recession, my shitty job pay, weed bags, and Christmas. Yes, I blamed Santa!

A similar challenge was made by that attention whore Soulja Boy. Except he challenged the entire internet to any game on the 360. One of my other favorite sites ScrewAttack.com has accepted that challenge, and I think they could use the support from the Dtoiders. Its over on the main page of ScrewAttack

check it out!

Don't you know that tight rhymes deflect bullets? It has something to do with subsonic resonance or something.

here we go again. Fiddy talking trash sooner than he should. Didn't he learn from the Kanye/Fiddy ordeal?

no really though. I don't mind the guy. I just wish he'd stop runnin off at the mouth.

I love that the usual crew of avatar-less fucktools have managed to find a convoluted way to turn even this post into a thread about how shit I am. Your dedication to me knows no bounds.

Yes, by posting about 50 Cent, I've been owned. And the fact that you're posting about me (as well as adding to the comment count) makes you ... ?

I'm with ya Jim, I'm about sick of all these avatar-less fucktards. I guess a good way to get your own respectable point of view across is to be completely anonymous. Well, thats how I stand up for myself, put a mask on and talk like a big kid.

I suggest a new feature to the site: Posts from avatarless sillies are simply not posted.

If they can't be bothered to get a 80*80 image, I can't be bothered to read their Jim-Flaming shit.

@Surf314-

Well that doesn't explain how he deflects bullets. I mean, you said "tight" rhymes, right?

@Debeo-

Wait a minute. Having a little picture next to your name suddenly makes you less anonymous? Am I supposed to know your true identity because you have a Super Metroid avatar? If someone from Dtoid saw a guy who looked just like Glass Joe on the street, would they be sure it was me?

MotoRobo brings up a good point.

I'd have to buy $.50's game (I'm not about to type it out in full) in order to play against him. Whether he's good or not is irrelevant, as I'd rather play him on even, neutral ground, on a game that would actually match skill and talent more than sheer mugging and bragging rights.

BOMBERMAN LIVE, PLS!

You guys know if you beat them you are all dead men right. 50 can't lose any street cred to a bunch of "nerds" he will have you all smoked. But if you must then go for it. Just leave me your monocle and place on Destructoid.

I made sure to get an avatar before I inslulted jim for the first time it was like losing my virginity. I did it just for him since I did not really care If I had an "avatar" or not.

I try not to do it But sometimes I can't help it and will even do it poorly throw some typos in for full effect.... Some of the stuff he says people can not help them selfs.

Ya I am a "fucktards" I was born that way possibly in a test tube filled with hitlers blood.



Besides I never read what anybody says in comments and almost never go back to read replys after I post. So I do not see why people just don't skip comments they don't want to read...Hell I did not read most of the post on this page and don't on most comment pages..

No matter the outcome of the match, you will lose, because you'll have to buy his game.

Shi't if I had some extra money to set on fire I would join the mob and blast fitty in the face. He stands no chance against people that are pro at games.

Fuck Fitty, Fuck him in all of his scarred bullet holes.

@ akathatoneguy

By at least having an avatar I'm at least trying to show that I wish to have a semi-identity, even if it is also anonymous and completely digital. The answer to your question is of course not, but that sure would be neat if you did look like Glass Jaw Joe.

Unfortunately to challenge the entire G-Unit, you need enough people who actually have the game.

Good luck with that.

A VOTE FOR 50p IS A VOTE FOR COMMUNISM!

There, that should sort out the votes of any cold-war era Americans. As for the rest of you:

50p has been shot 9 times. Anything that is shot 9 times and doesn't die must be undead. If you're posting here you must be a gamer. If you're a gamer you must like nothing more than beating the crap out of zombies. therefore you should want D-Unit to crap all over G-Unit.

MARVEL AT MY CONVOLUTED LOGIC!

Jim, you and the D-unit should all make variations on the name Darryl Baum in new accounts specifically for the challenge because that would be hilarious. The only attacks you should use are "drive by"s.
