What if 50 Cent were British? Twitter ponders the possible tweets

50-centBetween a word limit and seemingly never ending abbreviations (“FF” means “Friday Follow”?), tweets can sometimes be 140-character riddles wrapped in abbreviated enigmas.

But thank goodness for English50Cent, a new account that attempts to translate the rapper’s rants and raves, all using the Queen’s good word, turning them into bites of Shakespearean gold. Take a gander:

Real 50: My baby moma sent me nude pics. Damn I aint eat all day cause of that. What is the world coming too
English 50: The mother of my child has sent me naked pictures of herself which I found distasteful. I also worry about the future of mankind.

Real 50: Soulja and fab kicked it they cool now aint no more beef you c–k suckers have a nice day lol
English 50: Soulja and Fab have reconciled their differences, but have run out of meat. Warm regards to my homosexual followers. *laughs*

Twitter-ers, will you start following the Queen?

    nah. the queen lost all funny when he/she apologized for not being able to translate tweets now that the real 50cent is tweeting in proper English. I think English 50 gave up a little too quickly with that one.

    Uh, oh yeah…50 Cent is uh, hilarious…
    Real 50: Perez hilton calld me douchebag so I had my homie shoot up a gay wedding. wasnt his but still made me feel better
    (did enjoy English 50′s take though)
    English 50: Being unsure of my sexuality leads me to violent fantasies.

    The “real” English 50 Cent was the Brit singer who sang “In the Pub” – I heard it back on the old “world hits” channel on XM before the merger.

    Funny how unfunny things can be!

    I didn’t take it as what 50 Cent would sound like if he were British per se….more like, what would he sound like if he spoke the English language, as opposed to whatever it is that he speaks…

    motherf**kers = matriphiles lol

    They should do it in chav speak.
    Realistically an english 50 cent would speak like he just walked off the Jeremy kyle show. If you don’t know who that is look it up, you won’t regret it for a laugh.
