The rapper-and-actor is selling the luxurious 19-bedroom property in Farmington, Connecticut - which features its own nightclub and recording studio - and is allowing TV cameras from the hit US TV show in there to film today (Nov 29, 2007).

The "Get Rich or Die Tryin" star - who bought the 48,000sq ft mansion from heavyweight boxing champion Tyson for $4.1 million three years ago - revealed: "It was crazy looking when I got here."

"It had a sort of 'Miami Vice' feel. It had turquoise and blue on the floor but I changed things around."

"I can go from my studio straight into the nightclub to see what a track will sound like in a club. The club also has a massive swing hanging from the ceiling, which is pretty cool."

"I'm just fed up with the commute when I need to get to New York so I want something nearer."

50, 32, admits the mansion is so big he often forgets he has guests staying with him in different wings.

He reveals: "I'll let them stay on the other side of the house and not actually see them for a day or so."

The "Ayo Technology" rapper is adamant you don't have to have his bank account to afford a luxurious lifestyle.

He insists: "It ain't based on the actual money that's been spent, it's the choices that people make. You don't have to buy a $50 million home to build a lifestyle that's equivalent."

50 real name Curtis Jackson - added: "My next home will have the basics - probably four or five bedrooms. Maybe I'll let the 'MTV Cribs' cameras in there too. But only when I'm leaving!"
