Music video edit

The music video is set in Monaco and Cannes. It’s 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.

Remix edit

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: "Statik Selektah & 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".

In 2015 Post Malone released a remix of the song titled '#mood'. The remix "addresses the peskiest of haters: those from the Internet."
