New 50 Cent (Feat. Robin Thicke & Dustin Hoffman) Video - "Follow My Lead"

Fifty's got a way with the ladies. You already know this, but "Follow My Lead" sees him sketching out the charm appeal and his sweet talking ability ("I call a square a square and a circle a circle / So if you act like a bitch I'll call you a bitch and hang up"). But don't worry women, he'll probably call you right back and shit, after making like a Vegas crooner in a pimped out velvety lounge. But best of all: Alan Thicke's son is finally working with Dustin Hoffman. Huzzah!

Ugh. Fuck 50 Cent. He's the most ignorant asshole ever.

I think Cool J had the rap slow jam thing done much better years ago. 50 seems disingenuous doing this style of tune.
Also was Robin Thicke there to sing a hook? Cause if so, he forgot to do that.

wow, this is really, really, really awful. I almost feel embarrassed for him at this point. I hope Kanye outsells him so he'll stop making music.

IF he does outsells him, i think 50 will buy 1 million copies himself, so he doesn't look like a jackass( not that he isn't )

50 Cent is an idiot. Basically, he just went and promoted Kanye West album for him for free by boasting about his retirement if he doesn't outsell Kanye West album. Thanks to his meltdown, people are going to buy Kanye West album for the sake of it just to see 50 Cent make goods on his promise.

Whoa, if Kanye West can bring about 50's retirement, any past musical atrocities will be forever pardoned.
