50 Cent and Justin Timberlake Are Tired of Technology

J_2But they love YouTube and special F/X (who doesn't). The new video for "Ayo Technology," the third single off of Fiddy's upcoming album Curtis, features an arsenal of F/X that include Bond-worthy cars, Terminator like data points, and a multi-touch touchscreen like this one.

The song's about the frustration of not being able to interact with the porn star on the other side of the TV screen. From the chorus:

Aayooh
I'm tired of using technology, why don't you sit down on top of me

Aayooh
I'm tired of using technology, I need you right in front of me

The song first got leaked to YouTube by 50 cent in early July and without the consent of his label. Universal Music Group quickly pulled the video off. According to Def Sounds, the label went into damage control barring radio stations from playing the single.

According to Hip Hop DX:

In a recent interview the G-Unit capo said he had plans of releasing more of the videos for Curtis directly to the public, much like the viral video campaign he launched against Cam'Ron with Funeral Music.

"I have a deal with YouTube and they're doing a viral campaign for my album," 50 told Vibe. "I had already been in communication with YouTube before I released the first video."

I think its Universal Music Group who's tired of technology.
