Video: 50 Cent - "I Get Money"

Sunday July 15, 2007

Despite having enjoyed bazillions of airplay on MTV and BET, 50 Cent's "Amusement Park" has failed to make an impression on core G-Unit fans. Most of us have already obliterated "Straight to the Bank" from our audio bank. 50's impressive run seems to have hit a dead-end. Not. As a last resort, Curtis "Billion Dollar Budget" Jackson has now decided to throw money at the situation...literally. His celery-inspired new single is titled "I Get Money," and it's stanky rich with green visuals.

50 IS FINISHED, no one wants to hear his lame music. If you can even call it music.

(6) james says:

i agree with JP. fifty was amazing until massacre, where he became good and even average. now he’s rich and lazy. on power of a dollar you could hear his hunger, but not anymore. he’s yet another example of how $ can ruin a rapper.

(7) ThaFannnn says:

Beg For Mercy was his only good album. I still cant believe that G Unit got hot because Young Buck and Lloyd banks have proved time and time again that theyre total garbage and fifty has shown us that hes not here to stay either with this and his latest trash. This is only getting hot because it has the name 50 cent on it. If it wasnt there, no one would even know what this is or even care. PERIOD.

Although I’ve never been a fan of neither 50 or his music, there’s no doubt. This is a certified banger.

(17) Ryan says:

A lot of people are talking about how good this song is. And I have no idea what they are talking about. The beat and chorus is catchy, but their isn’t ONE quality lyric in the whole song. It’s garbage.

July 21, 2007 at 7:26 pm
(18) Malcolm says:

THANK U RYAN
FINALLY A PERSON WHO GOT COMMON SENSE

but 50 is one of the most disgraceful rappers since Ja Rule, and dont bring up the fact that he makin money
if “Curtis” reaches the platnum status

(19) Campbell says:

that song is “off the chain”! 50 music in general is like sex… if it’s good or bad…. it’s still good and all those who hate what he does… bump their heads when any of his music plays.
