John Cena is reflecting on his rap careerand revealing theres a massive archive of unreleased material fans will probably never hear.
In a new interview with Billboard, the WWE icon looked back on his surprise music success with 2005s You Cant See Me, his debut album recorded with cousin Tha Trademarc. While the project went Platinum and gave the world his theme song The Time Is Now, Cena never followed it upand thats by design.
According to Cena, rapping wasnt part of a long-term plan. It started when he rejected the generic entrance theme WWE originally gave him and decided to make his own.
That led to Cena putting up $10,000 of his own money to create Basic Thuganomics, which evolved into a full album and WWEs most enduring theme song of the modern era. Still, Cena never dropped a sequeland he doesnt plan to. When asked about unreleased material, Cena casually dropped a bombshell:
He explained that the final album was carefully curated from a large batch of recordings:
But those hoping for a second project are out of luck. Cena shut down the idea completely, saying he has no interest in returning to the booth:
So while there may be dozens of unreleased Cena tracks sitting in a vault somewhere, fans shouldnt expect them to see the light of day. For Cena, that era was lightning in a bottleand one hes content leaving in the past.
