BV asked 50 Cent how he thinks President Obama is doing so far: "Well, we didn't give him enough time to judge his performance. He inherited the country in the worst state it's been in in a long time, so to see adjustments being made – any adjustments – in a way, are good."

What is the future for 50 Cent and video gaming?: "I would like to later create and then market and promote games that I am not also starring in. The possibility of successfully making those games is very possible for me."

THQ

Will two recently leaked tracks appear on the new album 'Before I Self-Destruct'?: "We're not sure what we are going to keep. 'Should've Been You' was a song that I recorded for 'The Detox.' That was two years ago. And 'Do What it Do,' one that R. Kelly and I did together, it leaked out. ... When something leaks, you don't get a second chance at a first impression. So, I'm not sure that we will actually utilize [these songs] later. We'll see what happens."

Did the wars in the Middle East influence the game design?: "The situation of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are probably the most intense situations a person can face. We took all this into account when we were creating the game."

THQ

Where does 50 see his businesses developing?: "More online. Video games, I have an interest in as well, but in general, people may choose not to go out as much. Their choice not to go out and spend money may mean creating that entertainment at home. The video games [and online entertainment] definitely help them do that."

What can people expect musically, in addition to favorite tracks?: "For people who are not into hip-hop there is a score produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Swizz Beatz. The musical component intensifies the actual experience."

THQ

Which rapper is a real inspiration to Mr. Jackson?: "I'm a big Ice Cube fan. I've seen him come from a space where he's created really aggressive content, because those are the circumstances he was under. And I've seen him grow into a position where he can do things different. Ice Cube would be one of those guys, from a hip-hop perspective, who I can respect their entire body of work."

Who does 50 Cent pick as his sidekick while playing Blood on the Sand?: "It varies. Sometimes Tony, sometimes Banks. Rarely it's Whoo Kid. He's a sucka. Like, he's soft. In real life? Oh my God. It's cool for him to be in the game. I'm sure [when he's playing] he plays himself and makes me his sidekick. Like 'come on 50. Shut up.' He tells me all kinds of things when I'm not around."

THQ

Who is 50 Cent's favorite rapper? What about album?: "50 Cent is like my favorite rapper, to be honest with you. And I really like the 'Curtis' album. And 'Before I Self-Destruct' is better than the 'Curtis' album, it actually has that aggressive edge to it. It's that album I've been waiting on. But I really think 50 Cent is my favorite rapper. Oh and Eminem. And what's that guy's name? Dr. Dre. Yeah. Those are my favorite rappers."

Tyrese:
R & B singer, rapper, actor, and songwriter, Tyrese has built a career largely on his body and his smile. Seemingly always employed, he can usually be found in an action/drama flick which inevitably leads to a few scenes of him with no shirt on.

50 Cent:
What he lacks in looks he makes up in physique. Very few artists can match his chiseled body so it's no wonder he finds it difficult to keep his shirt on.

Bow Wow:
Growing up in front of everyone's eyes can't be easy for a successful child rapper trying to change his brand. Enter in the fact that he's 21 years old and hasn't grown past 5'7" and it's not hard to tell that Bow Wow is definitely trying to shed his past by taking his shirt off and showing people how grown he really is.

Braylon Edwards:
Young, talented and very television-friendly, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Braylon Edwards is quickly becoming the NFL's hottest face/body. Although he may be buried on a team that no one watches, Edwards is intent on getting himself out there.

Flo-rida:
Relatively new rapper, Flo-rida has wasted no time in the rap game as he has practically been introduced to his fans with no shirt on. Unfortunately, now he will only be just another shirtless monosyllabic rapper who gets number one records on repetitive hooks. He sure does love his state though, we'll give him that.

Ja Rule:
At one point long, long ago rapper Ja Rule was on top of the world. His R & B collabos were highly coveted as they often became instant pop hits. And throughout the heights of his career, there have been many occasions in which the diminutive rapper has taken off his shirt to the chagrin or delight of his fans.

Jim Jones:
The former Cam'ron protégé and head of the Byrdgang, his known to wear irregularly tight cloths and often takes pride in showing off a hairy tattooed chest.

LL Cool J:
Building a career defined by being muscle-bound, LL has been taking his shirt off longer than most on this list. At 40, this music legend still looks more cut than practically any one in the music game and that's why like his name, the ladies still love cool James.

Nelly:
It's no secret why Nelly was chosen to be the newest Sean John model. He has seemingly been sculpting his body in his long hiatus and (along with boo Ashanti) happens to look great. Not a terrible fallback when records aren't selling.

Plies:
Apparently this southern rapper is contractually obligated to take his shirt off in every video which he's in, Hip Hop, R & B, or otherwise. The creator of the bust-it-baby phenomenon works effortlessly to insure that there are no shirts in the vicinity when he performs his ineligible love songs.
