In the 2005 action video game 50 Cent: Bulletproof, legendary rapper and producer Dr. Dre lent his voice and likeness to the character of Grizz, an arms dealer. The game, released for PlayStation 2 and Xbox, cast the titular hip-hop artist 50 Cent in a revenge-driven narrative, navigating a world of crime and conspiracy. Dr. Dre's character, Grizz, serves as a crucial ally to 50 Cent, supplying him with an array of weaponry throughout his quest for vengeance.
Dr. Dre was not the only prominent musician to appear in the game. Fellow rap superstar Eminem also had a role, portraying a corrupt police officer named Detective McVicar. Members of 50 Cent's G-Unit crew, including Tony Yayo, Lloyd Banks, and Young Buck, were also featured, further solidifying the game's ties to the hip-hop world. The story itself was penned by Emmy Award-winning writer Terry Winter, known for his work on "The Sopranos," which brought a cinematic and gritty narrative quality to the game.
Grizz, Dr. Dre's character, is depicted as a "wizened back-alley arms dealer" who occasionally offers colorful commentary on the weapons he sells. For instance, upon purchasing a rocket launcher, players might hear Grizz remark, "That's some serious shit right here." This unique blend of celebrity voice acting and a crime-thriller storyline made 50 Cent: Bulletproof a notable entry in the realm of music-infused video games, offering fans an engaging interactive experience featuring their favorite artists.
