The Dr.Dre music video from 1988 was very simplistic, all it had was some shots and closeups with a little bit or jewellery. The video and the song was mainly trying to send a message about racism. The 50 Cent 2016 music video is more about Girls being presented in a sexual way and they are wearing expensive gold jewellery. The modern music video doesn't have a narrative or a message behind it, its just a video of the artist and some girls for a song.

Both music videos has plenty of close ups of the artist and tries to promote the artist to the audience as the main figure.
