This year has been all about John Cena’s retirement tour, but Cena is also celebrating another special anniversary in 2025 as it’s been 20 years since his platinum selling hip hop album You Can’t See Me was released.
Billboard premiered a clip from John Cena’s upcoming interview with Tom Rinaldi in which Cena confirmed that there are somewhere in the range of 70 tracks that will never see the light of day.
“It is a young man’s game and I’m not in it anymore. The rapping thing was an accident. I listened to the music they played for me and I’m like, ‘I can do better than this — wait I could do better than this.’”
“There’s like 70 lost tracks of the album that never made it out. I was able to shave off the ones that shouldn’t make and give you the ones that should, and I’m lucky to get that.”
When John Cena turned heel back in March many fans were hoping his Dr. of Thuganomics gimmick would be resurrected, but that wasn’t the case. It appears that Cena has put his hip hop days behind him, so it’s unlikely that fans will hear him rap again in the future.
