HERE’S the first picture of Eminem in his new role as a crooked cop.
The hip-hop superstar plays nasty McVicar, in 50 Cent: Bulletproof, a new game based on his rapping buddy.
Em, aka Marshall Mathers, who has axed his forthcoming UK dates claiming exhaustion, joins Dr Dre and 50 Cent’s G Unit crew for the adventure, which will be released in the autumn.
All have had their voices and likenesses captured for the game that sees 50, caught in a web of corruption, double-crosses and shady deals amid New York’s drug underworld.
It then falls to him to clean up the area and go head-to-head with the most dangerous crime families in the city.
50 Cent said: “I’m as excited about Bulletproof as I am about the success of my album The Massacre and that means a lot, since music has always been my life.
“The new freestyles and the addition of Eminem and Dre show that this game is on the right course to follow in the successful footsteps of my music.”
He added: “In everything I do, I play to win.
“I’m out to destroy the competition and my video game is no different.
“It’s a fantasy version of my life. I plan to shake up the video game world like I did the rap world — I’m pulling no punches.”
It leaves me with one question ... what would they call The Game’s official game?
