As rappers, both Jay-Z and 50 Cent have battled it out on the
charts but now the two Hip Hop moguls turned businessmen have
found a new platform to compete with one another on and that is
the Facebook gaming platform. For his Facebook game titled 50
Cent’s Blackjack, 50 Cent linked up with Game Show Network
(GSN) digital to create a virtual casino where Facebook users can
challenge their friends or play the games dealer. "I am excited to
partner with GSN Digital on this venture to create an unparalleled
social gaming experience for my fans," 50 Cent explained to Hip-
Hop Wired. "50 Cent's Blackjack is filled with fun twists and
innovative features that is sure to provide hours of
entertainment." Unlike 50 Cent’s Blackjack, Jay-Z’s Empire will take
more of a Sims-like approach where Facebook users can quite
literally create their own empire as they work their way from
“hustler, to entrepreneur, to business mogul.” While 50 Cent’s
Blackjack is up and running on Facebook, according to Complex
Jay-Z’s Empire is currently in its beta testing stage. RELATED: EA
