50 Cent dropped the news that he is working on a TV show adaptation of the 2022 film 8 Mile which was based on Eminem’s life.

The Power producer made an appearance on Big Boy TV that he is collaborating with the “Lose Yourself” rapper to bring the series to the small screen.

“I’m gonna bring his 8 Mile to television. We’re in motion,” he said. “It’s gonna be big. I ain’t got no duds. I’m battin’ a hundred, I’m battin’ a hundred.”

50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, also said, “I think it should be there for his legacy because it’s important to me that they understand it.” The rapper teased that the series would provide a “backstory” and showcase the lead’s younger years.

8 Mile was released in 2002 and it was directed by Curtis Hanson. The film starred Eminem in a story loosely based on his life and rise to stardom. Eminem plays Jimmy, a white rapper that uses the stage name B-Rabbit and his journey to launch his hip-hop career. The film also starred Kim Basinger, Brittany Murphy, Mekhi Phifer, among others. Eminem won an Oscar for Best Original Song, “Lose Yourself.”

After 50 Cent’s interview, the rapper shared a screenshot of an article and added, “Yeah and you thought i was PLAYING around, Im so serious man ! this is gonna be crazy.”

It was also recently revealed that 50 Cent was expanding the BMF universe with three spinoffs in the works at Starz.

Would be nice if they'd get a lookalike actress to Brittany Murphy, well, the internet's saying Lili Reinhart is Murphy's reincarnation and there is some truth to it...

This has gotta be up there near the top of the list of Things Nobody Asked For.

Also, why is 50 Cent announcing this & not Eminem?

I guess because 50 Cent is the producer on this

I know this is off topic.

But 8 Mile will be a G Unit Film & Television Distribution, Incoporated Production, End Of Show Production and a Lionsgate Television TV Show. Just like the Black Mafia Family and Power franchises.

So I have to ask you, what do you think of Alani “La La” Anthony and Naturi Naughton, drb999? These beautiful, sweet women are parts of one or some of these franchises.

I don’t watch those shows but I know who those ladies are.

Awesome!

What do you think of them? Again, I personally think they’re beautiful and sweet!

Naturi Naughton is a musician. She was in a band called 3LW (three little women) in the early 2000s.

She was abruptly fired one year before the infamous 2003 disbandment. Good stuff (though lousy without Naturi), but 3LW is far from the black female American rap and rhythm and blues equivalent of Iron Maiden and Judas Priest.

"G Unit" still exists? I thought it had died out when 50 Cent and The Game had a "beef" going on years ago.

I didn’t know that. In that case, G Unit Film & Television Distribution, Incoporated is gone. That sucks!

At least Ice Cube still has Cubevision Productions.

Seems 50 Cent is just trying to make some bank again.

I admittedly stopped listening to hip hop years ago, but 50 Cent also appears to have stopped making music? I'll just check... The YouTube results are all from 13 years ago.

Love this tune:

Somebody should tell Fitty that "battin' a hundred" ain't good.
