Epic Crossover Teased: 50 Cent Hints at 2Pac & Eminem Collab for ‘Street Fighter’ Soundtrack!
50 Cent has announced a groundbreaking collaboration featuring Eminem and the late 2Pac for the upcoming <i>Street Fighter</i> movie soundtrack. He clarified that 2Pac's estate approved the use of his authentic vocals, not AI. The highly anticipated track is expected to be released shortly, coinciding with 50 Cent's role as Balrog in the film.
Hip-hop icon 50 Cent has sent shockwaves through the music and gaming worlds with the revelation of a monumental collaboration for the upcoming Street Fighter movie soundtrack. During an appearance on the television show "Today With Jenna and Sheinelle" on Friday, July 24, the G-Unit boss announced that he has recruited none other than Eminem and the late legendary rapper 2Pac for a track. The news reportedly left the show's hosts in a state of surprise and confusion, prompting 50 Cent to provide immediate clarification.
Addressing the immediate questions, 50 Cent confirmed that the inclusion of 2Pac's vocals received full approval from the late rapper's estate, emphasizing that no artificial intelligence (AI) technology was used to generate his part. He stated, "They delivered it. It's for the theme of Street Fighter, the movie. We worked on it and got it right." The Queens-bred rap legend further teased that this highly anticipated collaboration would be arriving "soon" and "shortly," building immense excitement among fans eager to hear the unique blend of these three prominent artists.
The Street Fighter live-action remake is slated to hit U.S. theaters on October 16, with 50 Cent himself starring in the film as the iconic character Balrog. This isn't the first time 50 Cent has hinted at a musical tie-in for the movie; back in December, he teased an Eminem collaboration for the Street Fighter project on Instagram, though 2Pac's involvement remained a secret at that time. The reboot features a star-studded cast, including actors like Jason Momoa and Noah Centineo, country singer Orville Peck, and WWE superstar Roman Reigns (Joe Anoa’i).
This new track will mark a significant addition to the extensive collaborative history between 50 Cent and Eminem. Their most recent joint effort was on "Gunz N Smoke" from Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's Missionary album, released in December 2024. Throughout the 2000s, these close friends and frequent collaborators teamed up on numerous memorable tracks, including "Don’t Push Me," "Patiently Waiting," "Gatman & Robin," and "You Don’t Know," solidifying their powerful dynamic in the rap industry.
