You know what blows my mind? Music videos used to REALLY cost like $200K+

it has nothing to do with 50 cent, the gangsta rapper goes as far back as eazy e, snoop, big, thug life pac, cube, dre, ross, etc... and there still gon be gangsta rappers after this

Why u try to sneak Ross in there with all them pioneers tho?

I really miss the days of being hype for seeing a music video premiere. I've been out the loop for years since I don't watch tv anymore. I remember when this premiered and I was in the living room and seeing Chris Tucker in it repping the DEC ...my stepdad was like seeing me reminded him of sitting at home as kid waiting for the new MJ video to premiere...RIP MJ

$4 million estimated

Marlon Brando's cameo in this alone cost $1 million

I missed when music videos were an event

...just think about the Hype Williams and Fatima Robinsons who got a viable career from those classic videos
