B4 I Self Destruct

It’s no secret that 50 Cent has an amazing body ... and at Sundance, he seemed particularly keen to prove it.
The brawny hip-hopper invited a handful of pals, including actors Tom Arnold and Mekhi Phifer plus Gatecrasher’s Sean Evans — to join him on a 20-minute cardio session led by Fitty’s trainer, Jay Cardiello.
“It’s intense, and there are no weights involved. And some of it’s like girly stuff, like just kicking your leg, but it’s muscles you don’t really ever work at,” 50 said during the sweat session at Sundance’s Vitamin Water House. “Men don’t usually go to the gym and say, ‘I’m going to develop my ass. This’ll be the J.Lo workout.’
“I’ve been doing [the routine] for a while. I did that this morning before you got here. And I weight-trained.”
“So that was your second workout of the day?” inquired the now desperately tired Evans, struggling to feel his legs.
“Yep. And it’s not even noon,” 50 laughed.
After the workout, 50 and producing partner Randall Emmett hosted a private screening of “The Life and Death of Jam Master Jay,” one of the first movies under their new film company, Cheetah Films. As Seth Green, Russell Simmons and Chris Masterson filed into the house’s private screening room, 50 revealed why Jay was so important to him.
“Jay was a mentor. He’s the first person I went into the studio with the intention of producing a song for an album, which was never released because Jay’s touring schedule was so hectic he wasn’t able to focus on it.”
The rapper added: “After Jay, I went to Columbia Records, but that didn’t work ... Columbia Records was too scared to even talk to me.
“So I learned to market myself, like Jay had done. A lot of the major labels and companies were ignoring me because they were only looking at my street life. It makes me rub it in now. Right in their faces. I want to go into their offices and say, ‘I remember you. Didn’t they fire you yet?’”
G-Unit founder 50 told how he enjoyed his time at Sundance. “I like the parties, because it’s something to do different than sitting in the theater seats. After watching five or six movies, people start to feel a little drained.
“I’ve seen a few movies, but I got to the premiere, they start announcing all the people who are there, and I’m like ‘What the hell? I’m 50 Cent! I’m here! Tell everyone I’m here,’ ” he joked.
At that point, Gatecrasher’s man wanted to clap for 50, but, still suffering post-workout trauma, couldn’t lift his arms.
