50 Cent shared an animated video on Twitter mashing up the best songs of his career.

50 Cent recently shared an animated video on Twitter featuring homages to some of the best songs from his career. The clip references "In Da Club," "Many Men (Wish Death)," "P.I.M.P.," and more. After posting the video, 50 shared a link to his website to buy tickets for his upcoming, The Final Lap Tour.

"This is cool, we got some real talented people out here," 50 captioned the clip. The video begins by referencing 50 Cent's iconic music video for "In Da Club," in which he raps while hanging upside down. It's a move 50 recently recreated while performing a the Super Bowl Halftime Show. Although, 50 admitted to USA Today, last week, that he regrets doing so.

“I think that was a mistake for the Super Bowl,” he said of being upside down. “Everybody else walked in regular, the songs still went over and they got the trophy, too. They all won an Emmy. They got the same thing I got and I had to put myself upside down.” 50 performed alongside Dr. DreSnoop DoggEminem, Kendrick Lamar, and Mary J. Blige.

The animated video comes after the 20th Anniversary of his iconic debut album, Get Rich or Die Tryin’. In honor of the milestone, 50 is traveling across the world to perform hits from the project on The Final Lap Tour. He's lined up stops in Toronto, Brooklyn, Atlanta, Houston, Amsterdam, Oslo, Paris, and many more throughout the year. His first show will be in Salt Lake City, Utah at the end of July.

Further speaking with USA Today, 50 said of the tour: “It’s gonna be a whole new show. Sometimes out of habit, you go to certain records. People love other things on it, so I wanna make sure I touch those records before I don’t do those anymore.”
