In a move that bridges hip-hop legacy and modern innovation, 50 Cent announced plans to harness artificial intelligence to reimagine his unreleased catalog. The rapper broke the news on Instagram, unveiling “1960s soul” renditions of his most recognizable hits—each created with advanced AI production software that gives his music a new, vintage texture.

His first experiment was a reworked version of “21 Questions,” transformed into a smoky, soul-infused track. “Now this sh*t is hot [fire]. I’ma use AI on all my unreleased songs and see what I got for ya!” he wrote, hinting at a broader creative shift. Soon after, he shared an equally lush reinterpretation of “God Gave Me Style,” adding, “This feels good [too], WTF going on now, this version lets you see my vision. It’s softer!”

The post drew immediate reaction from fans—some applauding his forward-thinking approach, others wary of where technology might take artistry next. “This proves how great of a songwriter 50 is. Great writing works no matter the melody,” one fan commented. Another joked, “100 years from now they gon’ say this the original.” But not everyone was as amused: “If this is AI, I am scared man shjiiiit,” one skeptical user admitted.

50 Cent Redefines Music in the Age of AI

50 Cent’s fascination with AI has been building for months. Earlier this year, an AI-generated version of “Many Men (Wish Death)” set to a 1960s-style arrangement went viral, drawing praise for its eerie realism. Podcast host Joe Rogan shared his surprise on air: “They took 50 Cent’s ‘Many Men’ and made it, like, a soulful song that seems like it’s from the ’50s or ’60s… It’s not even a real human being’s voice, and it’s f*cking good, dude. If that was a dude who sang that, I was like, who’s this guy, right? You know, I’m like, this guy is fire.”

His experiment arrives at a time when AI is increasingly reshaping entertainment. Just this week, viral clips imagined 2Pac shopping at Target and Kobe Bryant playing NBA 2K, blurring the line between reality and simulation. As digital likenesses and machine-made art become more convincing, 50’s latest move underscores how artists are both testing and redefining what authenticity means in the age of AI.
