There have already been quite a few music videos about the financial meltdown, but this is definitely one of the better ones. The vocals are a little weak but the beat is strong and the lyrics are very, very tight. It's clear that this song was written by someone with a strong knowledge of the issues.

The chorus "Check yourself before you wreck yourself. Bailing out bankers is bad for our wealth!" is a little bit Vanilla Ice -- or is it "Vanilla Swap" (for all the finance geeks out there).

Watch the video and send it to your friends.

Two years prior, the Eminem protégé had released his debut album of the same name. The album was a critical and commercial success; the same can't be said for the movie. Either way, while nine bullets legendarily attempted to fell Jackson in his youth, it's safe to say 50 has achieved his goal of impressive wealth. In September, "Fiddy" appeared second on Forbes list of "Hip-Hop Cash Kings," banking $32 million in 2006 alone.
