50 Cent – Shirtless Rappers

Rapper 50 Cent made the ladies swoon and the men renew their gym membership when he appeared on the cover of VIBE magazine without a shirt in May 2003.

Fiddy might have reignited the shirtless trend after years of rappers donning oversized white T-shirts. The New York rhymer has a history of being in various degrees of toplessness -- from his mixtape covers to album artwork. Not that we are complaining, mind you.

Much like LL Cool J, whose shirtless body also graces this list, 50 Cent also has a workout book called 'Formula 50.'

So what's the formula to 50 Cent's success? Take off your shirt!
