It is refreshing to hear something new from 50 cent. A surprising twist to his new AYO Technology single is the addition of pop start, Justin Timberlake. This new song is hot. It has catchy tunes and music fans will know 50 Cent when they hear him so, there is no surprise that AYO Technology will be a hit. Justin Timberlake has shown many different sides of himself since his debut solo album. The new Futuresex/Lovesounds was not easy for me to get into at first.

However, the album has become a favorite. Justin Timberlake’s new collaboration with 50 cent may boost his “street cred” (as they say) and he may possibly become more popular among the male audience. A posting on Obtusity earlier this month suggested that 50 Cent’s AYO Technology song (or the video at least) is about men masturbating to porn. It is not unusual to hear about people being addicted to cyber porn. Therefore, this is an interesting angle for 50 Cent to address in his music. Now if AYO Technology is about cyber porn, I wonder what the rapper’s next single is going to be about.

The AYO Technology music video is nice. It is dark, and covered with lots of digital fun facts to enjoy. Based one the cyber porn angle, the AYO Technology video does a great job of showing Justin Timberlake and 50 Cent taken over by their fixation. They are spying on women with binoculars and the like. That gives off the impression of a porn addiction gone too far.

Excuse me while I joke around for a minute, now, won’t a man addicted to cyber porn eventually get tired of jacking off to some digitized woman and then want to go and find the real thing? If that is the case, what is all of the fuss about? Now on a serious note, the AYO Technology video has a moderate amount of women sprinkled throughout the song. It is a typical depiction of the average rap music video these days. However, the content and action in 50 Cent’s AYO Technology video is relatively fitting for this kind of song and genre. Some do not agree with some of the content on the AYO Technology video. Some of the reasoning for it has gone too far and will be addressed in my next posting.

Have you seen the AYO Technology video or heard the song? If so, leave your thoughts on it below. Do you agree or disagree with the song/video being hot or not?
