50 CENT credits his near-death shooting for giving him his distinctive voice.
The rapper admits he feared he'd never be able to speak again after a bullet knocked out all the teeth on the left side of his mouth and left fragments in his tongue.
The 1999 shooting's aftermath cost him a record deal with Columbia and led to much soul searching and speech therapy - but now he's convinced he was supposed to be shot in the mouth.
He says, "My voice was completely different... But it's funny, this is the voice that everyone enjoys now. It's made me think that maybe it was God's plan, maybe I was supposed to be shot."
