The incredible rap duo of 50 Cent and Eminem are getting ready to deliver the goods again. 50 took to Twitter today to announce that he and Slim are shooting a big video for his upcoming Street King Immortal album.
Shortly after 50's Tweet, super producer Just BlazeTweeted that if it's the song that he thinks it is, it's a banger.
During a recent interview in Paris, France, 50 mentioned that he had played some songs from Street King Immortal for Interscope executives and they really liked what they heard.
"When I played the record it made it clear to [Interscope] that the highest probability they have of selling records is with me, because it was right," said the G-Unit boss.
He specifically mentioned a song titled "My Life."
"My Life and a few other joints I played. And they really were excited about them," explained 50 of Interscope's reaction to the new material. "My Life is a song that was originally recorded for Detox."
Could "My Life" possibly be the single he and Eminem are shooting a video for? We'll know soon enough.
During that same interview the "I Get Money" hit maker provided some insight into the concept of Street King Immortal.
"There's points on it where I'm more vulnerable than I was on my other projects," 50 said. "It's worked in the past with Hate It or Love It. That type of lyrical content. I wrote the record that I felt like was more me."
What's you favorite 50 Cent and Eminem collaboration to date? Do you expect this new song to top it?

50 Cent was a busy man last week in Dubai as he performed in front of a packed crowd of 16,000 at the Atelier/Festival on Friday October 19th. The event was held at the Meydan race course and included performances from Craig David, Ciara, Nelly and Skyblu of LMFAO.
Earlier in the week 50 attended GITEX (Gulf Information Technology Exhibition) 2012 conference at the Dubai World Trade Center where he introduced his SMS Audio headphone line.
The G-Unit boss took time out to attend a forum at American University of Dubai on October 18th where he spoke about business, life and conscious capitalism.
“It’ll take the new generation of entrepreneurs to make a difference," 50 told the audience, according to UniqueAuction. “Entrepreneurs come up with ideas before they have the finances to support it, and in the process get discouraged when they don’t get funding and end up working for some other entrepreneur. It’s not only the things in books that will determine if you’ll be successful. It takes more than being taught in a classroom to help you not to fall into a 9 to 5 regime of just getting by.”
50 also launched his SMS Audio headphones at the Virgin Megastore in Dubai's Mall of the Emirates on October 18th. Tony Yayo and Kidd Kidd were there to lend their boss a hand.
A couple of people in the audience wore hilarious t-shirts referring to Gunplay's missing chain.
50 took to Twitter to thank the people of Dubai for showing him a good time.
