"Window Shopper" is a single by rapper 50 Cent. It was released in November 2005 as the second single (in the U.S.) and first single (in the UK and Australia) from the Get Rich or Die Tryin' soundtrack released in 2005, as well as the film's theme song. It was later included on his 2005 album, The Massacre as a bonus track. It peaked at number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100, and had slightly more success in a couple of other countries. The song was certified Gold by the RIAA.
The music video is set in Monaco and is about how 50 Cent and friends are rich enough to buy overpriced items, such as $400 cheeseburgers, and a $1,500,000 Maserati MC12. It received a nomination at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards for Best Rap Video. There are two versions of the video: one which contains several clips from the film and one that doesn't and is the full version of the video. For example, the video either starts with footage from the film of Marcus looking through a window at shoes, or it starts with 50 Cent and Mase trying to understand what a French shoe salesman is saying.The video features cameo appearances by other G-Unit members, M.O.P., Ma$e, Mobb Deep and Olivia (singer)
There is also a Window Shopper remix featuring Ma$e. It was released in the mixtape: "G-Unit Radio part 16" with Ma$e.
A second remix was released featuring Ma$e and Lloyd Banks. It was released in the mixtape: "Static Scelektah & G-Unit Radio - The Empire Strikes Back". This version has a different chorus sung by 50 Cent, instead of him saying "Ja you's a window shopper" he says "nigga you's a window shopper".
