New 50 Cent (Feat. Justin Timberlake) Video - "Ayo Technology"

Turns out Elton John's not alone: 50 Cent and Justin Timberlake hate the Internet, too! Although, honestly, we can't imagine Sir Elton belting, "I'm tired of using technology / Why don't you sit down on top me." (Or maybe we can?) The rest of the neo-Luddite manifesto includes finally appointed mansions, dope suits, fast cars and a bevy of hot ladies stripping and simulating masturbation in said mansions and fast cars. Yeah, guess that does beat updating your blog.

I guess in the future, instead of tracking pre-crime, we'll be keeping track of people's sex habits and which poles strippers are on...

I think they're both fairly talented. And I like the fact that 50 can't be killed. But this is awful and hilarious.

Ted, calling 50 Cent fairly talented is like saying Rosie O'Donnell is kind of hot. Also, he can be killed. the dude was never shot nine times--he was shot AT nine times, but only three bullets hit him. It's an urban legend that somehow everyone is taking as fact.

and they stole that chorus hook from the RHCP's "Snow" note-for-note, which was a terrible song to begin with already..

I'm sorry I thought this was the trailer for Minority Report 2

Wow, that is the craziest logic I have ever seen for a video like that. Why are you displaying women like that? Well, because the "want it" of course!

The funniest thing about this rant against technology is that without technology all three of these "musicians" would be working at McDonalds. Well, except for JT. He'd probabaly be rockin' Applebees.

Wow, I can honestly say that I wasn't expecting THAT much gratuitous sex from this video... and it features 50 Cent and Justin Timberlake.

2pac's been dead for 11 years and is still putting out better music than anyone mentioned above.

Why is this being commented on?

Why is this being REPORTED on?

P.S. The best song Justin Timberlake ever released was made by Justice.

50's rhymes and "singing" are weak... but you can never really deny that JT/Timbaland chemistry.

You guys are freakin' nuts that is the shit. JT and Timbaland are doing their thing. As for 50 Cent he is just expanding. Eminem is in the Past. When did he put out any thing that sold. Em' needs to call up JT and Timbaland to get back on the Charts.

you should know that they only said technology because they were banned from using the word pornography. If you substitute the words it makes sense. Sorry you haters every single one of your comments were surplus to requirement (look it up).you know it's a decent song but you're just jumping on the bandwagon. That's weak. It's a good concept and it works. You may as well just admit it to yourself and stop trying to deny it. I bet you all watched the video more than once.
