50 Cent Launches MySpace-Like Social Networking Site

by Evan Shamoon on April 2, 2008 at 03:05 PM



Never one to miss a marketing opportunity, rapper Curtis Jackson, a.k.a. 50 Cent, has opened the doors to his new social networking site, ThisIs50.com.

Sorta like MySpace for the G-Unit set (wait, isn't MySpace for the G-Unit set?), the site features embedded videos and music players, along with plenty of G-Unit marketing fodder mixed in for good measure. ("You have two new messages in your inbox! Also, buy Lloyd Banks' new album!")

Of course, Jackson is no newcomer to the world of cross-promotional opportunities. With a clothing line, sports drink, and videogame (along with its forthcoming sequel) under his belt, the G-Unit new media empire continues to expand.

And yet still, he lets his 7 year-old cousin create the site. WTF, dude.
