Greetings from the future: London,2084. After defrosting from their cryogenic chambers, mega-billionaires 50Cent, Justin Timberlake, and Timbaland have established an advanced Big Brotherstate to help them spy on lovely ladies in futuristic lingerie. Still lookingfor a lead single to launch Curtis intothe charts, 50 takes a break from the grind and decides to find some girls. He locksonto his target with a sniper rifle — the new-age analog of Cupid’s bow andarrow — causing her to suffer dangerously powerful orgasms in her car as she leadshim to a top-secret strip club. Here, the ladies fruitlessly blindfold hisbionic eyes while Timbaland uses pre-cog technology stolen from the set of Minority Report to cycle through all ofthe X-rated CCTV footage he can get his hands on. (So much easier than openingmultiple tabs in Firefox!) Meanwhile, JT hasn’t fully adapted to therelaxed sexual mores of the new era — he’s still an old-fashioned, one-womankind of guy, so he stakes out his favorite cyber-chick’s house and uses hisall-powerful mouse pad to dispense with the foreplay.
(Watch the obviously NSFW video below, then check in after the jump to discuss.)
Okay, PopWatchers, hop in the DeLorean and let’s jet back tothe present to discuss the frightening realities of FutureSex. I like the 8-bit Nintendo sound of Timba’s beat, andeven though his lyrics are as creepy as ever, 50 hits the fast-paced tempopretty well. Director Joseph Kahn has a proven track record for pushingalready sexual songs towards the pornographic end of the spectrum (Sisqó’s"Thong Song," Britney’s "Toxic"), but there is somethingsort of dark and vaguely disturbing about this vision of the future. Also, JT’strend of disintegrating into a sort of human Windows Media player is losing itscachet (see: "LoveStoned"). Still, I think there’s a valuable lesson lurking inthe Matrix, and it goes by the name of "TGIF." So take off yourleather gloves, power down your computers, and go forth into the world. (Justdon’t spy on anyone changing, it’s technically illegal.)
Enjoy the weekend, PopWatchers, and hope that Mondaybrings us a collaboration between Justin and Tay Zonday, another man with abold vision of tomorrow’s dystopia. Fingers crossed!

Me first! I don’t see 50s appeal…please somebody tell me what is it about him that gets him jobs as an “actor” in movies and makes him a big a** rapper…Defend yourself for liking that man. He’s not pleasing to look at, and actually, he can’t “articulate” when he speaks…I saw Die Trying and that last concert scene when he comes out and raps showed him up to be mediocre at best…he can’t talk, he can’t articulate…he’s a head scratcher. Now Justin, I can get with Justin, but not with 50.
This song and accompanying video really does suck, but thank you for your mention of “Pre-Cog Minority Report” technology – that was spot on and made me laugh!!
Mr. Timberlake is sexalicious-all the reason you need. The video is complete crap but I still watched a half hour making of on BET just to get some quality JT time…
The song is absolutely awful. The video is boring.
Excuse me while i take a shower with bleach. That video made me feel dirty…and not in a good way. I do have to say that JT is getting yummier in each video he makes!
why does everything in the american culture have to revolve around sex? its no wonder so many women have low self-esteem & so many men are perverts who find it okay to stalk or otherwise degrade women…. the media boosts it all. & its considered “acceptable” so it stays popular. people disgust me!!!!!!
This song has been on my iPod’s Most Played list ever since Perez Hilton leaked it a few weeks ago but the video is just plain creepy! I mean, JT feeling up that woman in that hallway with those black rapist gloves on?! Although I’m pretty sure “Orwellian porn” is a brand new genre!
Throught this video, 50 looks either:
a) bored
b) confused
c) stoned out of his mind, or
d) disgusted he has to work with JT to make a dent on the charts.
It’s got a good beat…
wait, mtv will play this uncensored and not “beautiful girls.” that’s revolting.
was that not the most perverted video you’ve ever seen? if MTV bleeped “beautiful girls” for mentioning suicide, then they pretty much have to ban this all together before every single boy who watches TRL votes it to number 1.
just awful. on so many levels.
Ok…what the hell was that? I don’t know if I’m offended by the content or the sheer stupidity of the video.
That’s it? Why can’t hip hop artists (you too, JT!) make a video without nearly-nekkid girls dancing suggestively? Nothing new from these “hit makers.” Next, please!
Hmm. Apparently, JT is trying to relive the ‘N Sync days. Anyone remember “Digital Getdown”?
Lame. It’s a shame that Justin would be a part of a video that objectify’s women like that. Girls don’t act like that in the real world.
To Sally…well there are plenty of us who do think 50 is hot. I’m not going to defend myself for liking him either. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. If everyone thought the same way, this would be a boring world.
50 needs to learn English!!!!
JT is hot. Did Timbaland have to stand on a box to be eye to eye with that girl or did she just take off her heels? If that track just had JT and Timbaland I would get it but it screwed up and had to be a .50 track. Don’t it suck when the hook and the beat is better than the original artist on the track?
i think this song is top best 50 cent has dun i wud say
could someone help me i want to know the girls who are in the music video ayo technology what are there names
im glad to see others view this ..uncomf. video with the same attitude as mines.I think this video is sooooo degrading women..why cant artist make a videos without having to portray women like this.. its a shame i think..and i guess everyone is trying to be like everyone else.No1 wants to b different or break out..becuz i think if they try they wont make the $$. HOW LAME! There is no more moral in society..everything is going down the DRAIN! People who say videos like this dont affect anything r just trying to ignore the truth. The truth is that these sexual images affect teens esp young guys who start to treat women like objects and show ABSOLUTLY NO RESPECT.this video made me feel sooo gross!AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON MTV….OMG theres no such thing as MUSIC TELEVISION.they should change it to TACKY DATING SHOWS..I rather go stare at my wall then watch MTV.
Er…’scuse me, but what ELSE would a track about a lap dancer have in the video? You all need to chill out, there are just as many images on the net, TV, whatever of almost naked men in dubious positions as there are of women, you just need to know where to look
I love the fact that this video was shot around the corner from where I live in LONDON, UK. We see shots of Tower Bridge and it seem Fifty went down to Saville Row to get a slick fitted suit
Great video!Did Timbaland have to stand on a box to be eye to eye with that girl or did she just take off her heels? If that track just had JT and Timbaland I would get it but it screwed up and had to be a .50 track.
