Video: 50 Cent, “Wait Until Tonight”

December 16, 2011



50 (and/or the video's director) must have read what we said about his tape's single "Wait Until Tonight," then conceived, cast, shot, edited and uploaded this video in under 24 hours, because it totally reflects our conception of the song's spirit. It isn't about having sex—the woman in the video appears as an apparition or memory. It's about anticipation, and 50's detached performance allows the viewer to see themselves in the song's main role. 50 Cent is the narrator of the listener's excitement, listening to Bobby Womack on headphones and trying to think of ways to appear laid back while planning a future rendezvous via text.
