The premise
Here’s the bit.
A phone call from Chris brings 50 Cent the news that his new album is only number two, beaten by Kanye West, and he hangs up in a sulk. The rest is his music video: lounging beside a mansion pool, strolling a garden full of dancers, statues and a gospel choir, and sobbing into a teddy bear, he sings a mournful ballad about how money, muscles and fame cannot fill the emptiness inside, while still finding room for threats and bitterness about Kanye.

Even giant gangsters sometimes needs to cry
My name means half a dollar, and this buck's already spent.
Worse than the time when that guy, he shot me nine times
