"Many Men (Wish Death)" is a song by American rapper 50 Cent from his debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2003).

Adam Rodriguez and Rory Cochrane, both stars of CSI: Miami at the time of production, appear as detectives.

As Vuong explained in an interview, "50 Cent's song was ubiquitous in the early aughts, where so much of this book takes place.

It also marked the last era of gangsta rap, whose cultural framework provided men and boys a means of performing masculinity while also reducing it to erroneous tropes of misogyny and violence.
