50 Cent drops Piggy Bank video

IP:

50 Cent issued a video mixtape that includes a full-length clip for the song Piggy Bank. The video is animated and starts with three boys walking down "Beaver Street" when one of them stops at an arcade. The kid is infatuated with a game called "Rapper Knockout," which stars 50 Cent as a ring king beating opponents to a pulp. The video then takes a look inside the video game as 50 squares off against Fat Joe. The animated Joe is afraid to go into the ring at first, and gets pummeled when he finally enters. The same goes for an animated Jadakiss, which Fifty imagines dressed up like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, complete with Raphael's red mask and a slice of pizza, wearing a belt with a buckle that says "Jada."

50 depicts Game as a Mr. Potato Head doll with a "Wanksta" headband and Cassidy as a young kid wearing a pink hoodie with "I'm a Hustler" embroidered on it. Cass gets punched in the stomach by two kids. In a separate scene, another kid is seen wearing Superman's tights and cape while running down the street. Instead of the Man of Steel's S, he has a red logo of Nas' name on his chest and is chasing a "Milkshake" truck before jumping at the vehicle and falling flat on his face. The Piggy Bank Video is one of 21 from his repackage of The Massacre album, with a DVD that includes videos of all 21 songs, will be released Sept. 6. Though 50 Cent acknowledges that doing 21 videos for 'The Massacre' DVD is expensive, he tells USA Today he held down costs by putting the people he needed to make them on salary rather than paying for each video individually. "I think that this will draw my audience closer to me," says 50 Cent. "I see more and more people buying music online. And in the future, record stores could be a thing of the past. I wanted to do something that would drive people to the record stores."

50 Cent says the new project presents the album as he first envisioned it and allows him to introduce veteran Queens rappers Mobb Deep (Prodigy and Havoc) as the most recent sign-ees to his G-Unit Records label. They are on Outta Control Remix, which replaces the old version of the song. 50's says his next hit likely will come from the soundtrack from his Jim Sheridan-directed movie, Get Rich or Die Tryin', which opens in November.
His autobiography, From Pieces to Weight, is out Tuesday from MTV Books. Video game 50 Cent: Bulletproof comes out on Vivendi Universal Games Nov. 15. G-Unit's next album release is Tony Yayo's Thoughts of a Predicate Felon, out Aug. 30, and a Mobb Deep album is due this fall. And he introduced G-Unit Watches, a line of upscale timepieces, in the spring. 50 Cent says he's not worried about becoming overexposed. "The only time you have to worry about that is when an artist can't re-create themselves. The public will get tired of them doing the same thing."
