50 Cent: The Thespian

50 Cent can act, yall. He really can, according to Terrence Howard.
Nothing in the trailers for 50's new movie, Get Rich or Die Tryin' indicate any of that awesome acting Howard is effusive about.
For every Tupac or Mos Def, there's a Snoop Dogg who is only good at playing himself. Will 50 be credible? Sure. He's an ex-crack dealer turned rapper playing an ex-crack dealer turned rapper.
I doubt he would be credible playing a cop or a doctor or an alien, as Mos Def has done. But at least the soundtrack will be bumpin'.
