John Cena keeps on impressing his fans. Cena has branched well over WWE to enter Hollywood and become a megastar. However, there was a time when John was really into rapping. In fact, he made his WWE character out of the hip-hop genre in “Doctor of Thuganomics”. As it turns out, Cena’s fans are not only from WWE.

Legendary rap superstar Murs took to his Twitter to remember some fond times. He recalled the time when he got to work with the 16-time WWE World Champion. Murs was a huge hit when it came to the rap genre in the early 2000s. So much so that he even had the opportunity to work with a young John Cena who was at the start of his legendary WWE career.

Murs has nothing but delightful things to say about John. John Cena, before his big babyface run, had a character that was very edgy. He wore sports jerseys and rapped through most of his promos. While the WWE Universe might remember Cena’s greatest rap segments in WWE. It is lesser-known that he actually rapped in a music video with Murs.

Towards the end of the video, one can see John Cena rapping. While he seems to be in full heel character, he knocks down any people that come in front of him as he walks down the street. This includes Murs himself as Cena delivers an Attitude Adjustment (formerly known as F.U.) to the rap star into a dumpster.

However, Murs remembers it fondly and disclosed that it took five takes to get it right. He also appreciates Cena for how Cena treated everyone around after the shoot.

Did WWE Legend John Cena ever release his own rap album?

The answer to the question is a shocking ‘yes’. John Cena, back in the early 2000s, was deeply entrenched in his rapper character, which he slowly molded into the world’s greatest babyface. However, before he went completely PG like WWE in the late 2000s, he did drop an album in 2005 that represented his Thuganomics gimmick.
