MTV Cribs Special Editon f/ 50 Cent: "We aint never ate at this table... but it's pretty, right?"
Posted on November 30, 2007 9:00 AM
Ok... to be honest with y’all.... I don’t watch MTV Cribs. At all. Why? Because half of the time, as well all know, these people’s houses aren’t theirs. I mean, when you have freakin’ Frankie Muniz from Malcolm In The Middle showing off his six drop-tops in the backyard... then you have to doubt the credibility of this show and it’s featured guests a lil’ bit.
However... this time, 50 Cent done let MTV crash all up in his house. And I decided to check this one out because we all know this pad isn’t fake (it used to belong to Mike Tyson , for goodness sake). So, I sat on the floor of my living room, expecting to see nothing but B.B.– Bullsh*t Bravado– and I wasn’t wrong. The editors (most likely, at the insistence of Mr. Jackson) came extra hard with the dramatic shot sequences. But I did peep some VERY interesting sights in Fif’s crib that I’d like to bring to your attention. If you peeped this last night, feel free to comment on it.
First of all... the show starts with Tony “I beat up 14 year old boys” Yayo driving up to “The East Coast Playboy Mansion” (or as I like to call it, “The Chipmunk Estate”) ... and there was a guy doing motorcycle stunts in the middle of the front paved lawn. Umm... is this someone that Fif hired to entertain incoming visitors, like a court jester or a trained monkey? I wonder how much he’s getting paid to nearly kill himself just so Fif can impress the hoes he’s bringing back to smash at the crib.
More on what being stanky rich will get you on the next page....
I’m not going to do a straight re-cap of this show because... that would be boring, and just remind me of the fact that I spent 30 minutes of my precious life watching Curtis Jackson show off his toys. But like I said, there were some interesting things I spied with my lil’ eye, so here it goes (and let me know if you peeped these as well...)
– Fif has an Egyptian statue of his likeness. Meaning... he’s wearing a pharaoh’s headdress. Yeah, I know, maaaad extra. I think I’d rather look at Pepa's nip-revealing self portrait. Anyway, the gold statue (I think it’s gold) was made by his uncle who’s now serving time. Wow. Fif’s uncle must be like, the BOSS of the pen’s art-n-crafts class.
– A particular refrigerator in one of his SIX kitchens is COMPLETELY filled with nothing but (you guessed it) Vitamin Water. Wow... self-promotion is the best promotion.
– 50 has various pics of him and different celebrities, including Jessica Alba, Madonna, Bill Gates (WTF?!), J Timbo, yada dada da. But my favorite pic that he showed off was the pic of his son, Marquise, posing next to Eminem’s daughter, Hailey Jade, and she has her arm around him. Aww! I always wanted to know if the two of them were friends. It’s cute now, but will it be cute when these two announce that they’re having a baby in 10 years? Let me stop before Em hunts me down and writes a song about slitting off my eyelids... I don’t play with crazy white guys.
– Oh my goodness... Fifty has a jeans and sunglasses-wearing teddy bear that he named Kanye West. He then went to place the Kanye bear next to a huge photograph of a vicious, grizzly, straight-from-Yosemite Park-looking bear that’s supposed to be himself. He placed the two next to each other and said, “You wanna say hi, Kanye?” OH MY GOODNESS... y’all know I’m on Team ‘Ye all day... but that ish was hilarious!
– Now we get to the rooms. The members of G-Unit (Lloyd Banks, Yayo and Whoo Kid... I don’t know WHERE Buck was) have their own room in the mansion.
Whoo Kid’s room is completely white deco and he was hiding the first ever G-Unit chain under one of his couch cushions... hmm...
Yayo’s room has a niiiiiiiice view of the water and things of that such.
Lloyd’s room is MAD WACK. Compared to the other two, it’s so... minimal. Of course, they had to have some chick asleep in the bed (rolls eyes) while he showed off... actually, there was nothing really to show off.
Fifty... are you trying to tell us something by the way these rooms look?
– I won’t comment on the fact that while 50 was showing off his room, Ciara’s “Like A Boy” was playing on the television.
– One thing I enjoyed seeing was his goldfish pond. If and when I get my huge house, I’m going to get one of those, and sit out on deck with them everyday.
– Yes, the Gucci room does exist... and basically, it’s just a room wallpapered with Gucci print. Wow. Way to impress the impressionables, 50!
– Do we really need to discuss his basketball courts, his cars, and his very own ATV trail? Noo? Okay so then I’ll wrap it up with...
The Night Club/Stripper Area, featuring “lovely adult entertainers for adult entertainment”. There’s a DJ booth, poles, and... a swing. I gotta admit, it kinda looked like fun. Whee! But I’m sure that swing’s gotten leftover skeet skeet on it a few times... so I’ll just stick to the ones at the playground.
To add drama on top of dramatics... instead of kicking the MTV crew off the premises, he exits via helicopter. Wow. I get money, I waste money.
That’s all I felt was worth mentioning... sorry. I can’t lie... the place is tight. But really, did you expect it not to be? I just wish we could’ve gotten a glimpse inside when Tyson still owned it.
Check back later... I got more ish for ya!

50 has came along way from posing on a bicycle in the source...get money!!
Hey so Breezy,
Who cares about Fif? For someone who stated he does nothing like everyone else...Fif has sure fell into the same process as everyone else. I guess that happens when u fall off as big as he has!
FYI...Lil Frankie Muniz does has all those cars and he is a car head. That young dude has serious paper.
Just hope he doesnt end up like mc hammer.
invest nikkaz!!! dont just spend
first off frankie muniz has dough bruh. so yea those cars r his. if u wanted to put out an example u should have used ja rule because it has been documented that his crib was rented n miami. and how else r u gonna get from nyc to Conn. everyday. Car??? yea he actually would need a helicopter, correct??
the episode was one of the only ones i really watched and i think his house is ridiculously big. He needs to give some money to Hartford, CT and help with the housing and schools. He has too much money and not using it on things that would benefit others.
Im tired of people saying rich muthafuckas should donate money. If you dont donate money dont expect nobody else to. And fyi he just donated a nice size check to a connecticut program and he also has the g-unity foundation. Stay out of muthafuckas pockets and worry about your own.
3 ferraris (if I spelled that right)
1 TA
1 G6..... He getting it..
Here are more behind the scene footage not shown on MTV!

I'm no 50 fan but the dude crim is fat. If you ever need a place to lick your wounds or stroke your ego after losing to Ye, this is the place. Can't believe I typed lick & stroke here. No homo. If I could afford it I wouldn't sell it ever. Nice crib fif.
yea cosign that frankie dude has probaly around neck and neck wit 50 he was making like 700000 per show the one he was on and he has more cars than were shown so all of it aint fake but if u look at it hell i got a 2br apartment im renting but i stilll call it my home
@ Tash. Couldn't have said it better.
damn, I thought my 2 bedroom 1 1/2 bath was tight..
you niggas is stupid, the only reason why fif did mtv cribs is becuase he is selling it.that is beyond smart that was his open house for you slow mtf.lol
g-unit stay winning yall just dont know, right now they in europe touring getting the real money since the usd is wack right now.
Young buck wasnt there because he is still looking for the rims on the bentley they gave back to him, real talk he has his car but he dont have the rims no more i wish i had a video camera that night he got his ass whooped
gotta respect the nigga, he came from nothin, nigga wore the same fit from the wanksta video on rap city the basement
STOP HATING THAT MAN WORK HARD AND MADE HIS MONEY SO STOP HATING
Loved the house! The Gucci pool room? Off the hook! Now what he should have done was stood by his pool (either one) in a wife beater and boxers, and looked into the camera and said "Cameron, it's gonna really be a hot winter - cuz my pool is heated". Then he should have told the camerman to "get a shot of MY pool" as he walked away. That would have been classic! Get yo money fif - get yo money...
@ Allison--
I see a possible career in Production in your future!
