Many Men (Wish Death)

"Many Men (Wish Death)" is the third single off of American rapper 50 Cent's first studio album Get Rich or Die Tryin'. The song was released on May 6, 2003. The song was produced by Eminem.

The song was certified 3× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

A music video for the song was released. It was directed by Jessy Terrero. In the video, 50 narrates the story about how he had a friend named Slim who he grew up with in Jamaica, Queens and was betrayed by him. The video rewinds to the event where two men are waiting for 50 outside a building in a car. The men see 50 leave a convenience store and shoot him in a drive-by shooting. There are then scenes of an investigation and 50 recovering from his gunshot wounds. 50 is wheeled into a boardroom with multiple men. A hooded kidnapped man is then brought into the room and is revealed to be the man who betrayed 50. The men kill the man and put him in the trunk of a car which is later found by the investigators. Another man is shot while sitting in a car and another is killed after meeting 50 in a restaurant. The events of the music video are based on the real life shooting of 50 Cent. 

Actors Mekhi Phifer, Adam Rodriguez, Rory Cochrane, Gabriel Casseus, and Tommy Lister all appear in the music video. G-Unit members Lloyd Banks and Young Buck also appear.
