My .02 Cents...It's his money to do with as he wishes. By the friends that I have I sometimes feel like a "poor" person. I don't have a house but live in a 800Sq Ft apt. I own an'06 VW Jetta and an '06 BMW 3 series.
Reality check comes when I cross the border and travel to Mexico. To see the kids without shoes, the moms begging for money to feed their kids, the old ladies sitting on floor dazed without any energy to ask for money to buy a little bit of food, NOT cars just food to live to the next day. I've felt my keychain and looked at the BMW symbol. Only then I realize how Blessed I am to have the old cars I have. I'm not going to say anything negative about him or anyone else when it comes to their money cause in the people's eyes I just described above...I too am a 50 Cent Rich type person. Perspective Gentlemen.

It's his intelligence that confuses me. We live in turbulent times. If you put a vid out depiting a scenario where big cash is in your car, you could invite trouble on yourself. You may not always have the money in the trunk but sometimes thugs will try you.
This just isn't a smart move in my opinion because he is a smart guy. I guess he has no fear. He's been shot 9 times (I think), mother murdered....I guess he lives without fear.

Before calling this man's marketing activities stupid, please study his rise to stardom, fame and fortune. He built an empire from nothing to $450 Million (estimated net worth). Unlike others that spend their money faster than they earn it, his net worth has staedily risen over the years... I watched an interview of him on CNBC once and realized he is a very smart business man and a marketer of his product!
Yeah, the guy is very smart, along the lines of Dr Dre. Another guy that used music to make money, then got into business more. Snoop is another one that may not seem that smart, but don't be fooled.
The video is a marketing ploy, plain and simple.
